At Least I Saw a Flag

This song was written by Bruce Woodley. He's a Demons supporter. I see him in the members sometimes, now in his mid 70s. Nice bloke.

My ex wife was as cheerful as Jesse. I suspect I'll miss them about the same.

I hate the filth.

Can't be bothered finding photos, but I reckon Stephen Febey looked a fair bit like Matthew Febey.

My daughter saw Hogan today in South Yarra.

Especially on the night they drove ol' Dixie down ...

Trent Croad says hi ....

Croad?

That happened in a band I was in. And he (bass player, not Hogan) took the lead guitarist with him! I'll never forgive him.

Sadly the detour to talking about coffee was short lived.

To improve our list, we have to win a series of negotiations. Every deal that is done during the trade period is the result of a negotiation. In an ideal world, it would be a win/win. It was in the case of the Preuss/Tyson trade.

To win a negotiation you have to show you're willing to walk away. And the best way to show you're willing to walk away is to walk away.

FFS ... it was listed #13 !!! #13 ICED VOVO How exactly the pink fondant stays creamy and smooth in the packet is still a mystery. Either way, this icing, jam and coconut combo has our tastebuds singing.

Delta cream = Oreo. (separated at birth.) Why aren't gaiety biscuits on that list? (Perhaps the author is homophobic.) The only list that malt 'o' milk should be on is a list of the worst biscuits. The most amusing description was - #25 JATZ Ritz’s nerdy little sister.

https://www.theurbanlist.com/melbourne/a-list/we-rank-all-the-biscuits-worth-ranking An article well worth a read ... an interesting diversion from the drivel (not dribble!!) in this thread !!

What does that have to do with biscuits?

Well, now that the Hogan trade is off the table, can we all get back to discussing biscuits?

Any words would be inadequate to describe this.

Hey Australia hung on for a draw in the First Test v Pakistan. Great effort by Khawaja - 141. Also Tim Paine - 61 n.o. And of course Shaun Marsh - 0 ..... Not to be outdone by his brother, Mitchell Marsh - 0.

I'm somewhat disturbed that this thread has gone off on a tangent ... away from the discussion about biscuits.

I think Orios are grossly overrated. Gaietys are really good possibly my favourites. I don't like Chocolate Ripples. And I think Chocolate Ripple Cake is best left to 5 year olds. Marie/Milk Arrowroots are the very essence of boring. Family Assorted - abysmal. Especially the biscuits with the yellow (pus) filling. And the squashed ants biscuits are also terrible.

Malt'o'Milk are even worse. And naming those other biscuits 'nice' is the greatest misnomer of all time. But getting back to the topic at hand, here's a thought. I agree with those who have said not to cave in. If a reasonable offer is not made, then keep Hogan. If Melbourne has an excellent season, JH may be encouraged to change his mind about leaving.

The buzzword ATM seems to be "brand". I think JH had seriously damaged his brand. If he stays, whether by his choice, or the clubs' inability to reach agreement, I doubt that Demons' supporters will view him in the same light. And if he goes I doubt that many tears will be shed. Sad really. The club has bent over backwards to support him.
