At Least I Saw a Flag

As my good mate, Omar Khayyám used to say ... “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

No surprises there. I predicted a 2 year extension some time ago.

Sacrilege. No one is like Tulip ...

I always thought that the club felt it had to pander to him. I don't share the love others have for him. I do however wish him no harm ...

I live in Northcote too. Nice day for it !! Have one (or several) for me.

So much discussion about Hunt, Smith, Weid, Tomlinson, Dunstan et al and whom they would/could replace. It's unrealistic to think that the Club could have another dream run with injuries and, of course, covid in 2022, so these players will get their chances this season.

Agree. He is targeted* more than any other Demons' player. *assaulted

#Fun fact. I'm not sure that it's directly on topic, but I just saw that the name of the Queensland Education Minister is Grace Grace. I'm currently in that state. I think the humidity is getting to me.

I got a framed WegArt poster. It's great. I also bought a few Knight posters. Not so keen on them. Won't bother getting one framed.

I assumed Sparrow too

He used to drive me crazy when he grabbed the ball, took on the tackler* and got caught. He took that out of his repertoire in 2021 and, as they say in the classics, the rest is history !! *invariably to get on his left side

Some of you posters have a real hide posting those dad jokes

As Graeme Kennedy used to say to Rosie Sturgess in "The Wilsons" sketch on In Melbourne Tonight "it's a joke Joyce" !!

Yes, they need to improve !!! 🤣

I'm predicting he'll sign a 2 year extension. Same as Clarry. They, or their managers, like to keep their options open. Having said that, hopefully the flag (or hopefully) 2 ... or more would make a difference. Like Jee-long and Richmond players who signed on for 'unders'.

What about Jordon Jones??

I've been watching The Windsors on Netflex. Hilarious !! Highly recommend.

Haha .. the medal is round my son's neck !!

He was/is a lovely man. I bumped into him in the CBD in 2010 with my son. He insisted on showing him his Brownlow Medal and suggested I take a photo of him wearing the medal. Legend in every sense of the word.

Victoria Park was known as 'the zoo'. Somewhat disrespectful to animals I think.

"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there." L.P. Hartley, The Go Between. So stick that in yer pipe and smoke it Jee-long ....

A few peeps seem to be talking up Joel Smith. IMHO he's depth only.

I reserve my right to remain silent ...

I'm not sure that it is strictly on topic, but here is a list of insults that Dr Smith directed to the robot on Lost in Space ... https://irwinallen.fandom.com/wiki/Dr._Smith's_Insults Perhaps they could be adapted for use towards some of the AFL commentators? And yes ... I've probably lost the plot.

I feel ashamed. Only just now is the first time today I remembered that we won the freakin flag. I put it down to the heat. Forgive me.
