Thanks Kev.

Does anyone know the date/time of the next Gosch's Paddock training session? Couldn't see it on the MFC website.

Sneezing was the worst for me.. 

Yep ... can relate to that.

Coughing and laughing weren't great either.

Other footballers who had pubs with a gimmicky advertising slogan included:

Ricky Quade - "Have a quicky with Ricky"

Larry Donohue - "Have one with he who kicked the ton"

Hmm, I remember a certain footballer's wife did. And he was none too pleased about it!!

And let Ricky know in no uncertain terms!! 

Cracked ribs ... been there, done that. Ouch !!!!

I met him very briefly at the G. Charming man.

Agree with all the above comments.

One thing that's overlooked was his bravery. Despite his slight frame, he never squibbed a contest.

FWIW my son was a friend of his daughter. He (my son) visited his house and confirmed that he was a ripper bloke. Sadly I never met him.

RIP great man.

I always think what would have happened had May ironed out Pendlebury exactly the same way….6 weeks no questions. 

I thought the same at the time. Although I was thinking Daicos rather than Pendelbury.

I Remember Round 1 2005

The Sky was Red and Blue that evening before Sunset 

I shall never forget that moment 

Broadie #20

I was at that match too.

Like you, I will never forget it. 

Does anyone remember Gary Dempsey ... and/or Gareth John? 

I might drop in at 11ish (on my bike) to check out how da boyz are going ... and offer some advice.

See ya there (perhaps) ...

And the fact that he's dead might be an issue.

Big unit !!

Bert Newton got 'Boy' and 'Roy' mixed up also (for those old enough to remember). One minute mark:

 

I am old enough.

Mohammed Ali tried to give Newton an out. Don Lane called out "he said Roy".

Roy George ... I thought he was a singer ... Karma Chameleon?

Good fightback by Aussies ...

Looks like the series will be levelled at 1-1.

Ghostwriter, you truly are amazing. People like you, and you in particular, are so important to a club - volunteering for everything, chatting to and supporting the boys, endlessly positive - I tip my hat!

I too dips me lid !!!

Great to see you back  ...    ❤️💙

Obviously ...

If he has thoughts of going home, he may agree to a 2 year extension.

I agree with you Willmoy. In the whole saga, it is the action and inaction of of the AFL that makes me angry.

Don't forget that vile object saying "justice has been done" ... I'm getting worked up thinking about that again.

My anger was actually more directed towards the absolutely horrible disgusting pack mentality of large sections of the Collingwood crowd that emerged and permeated across the ground when they started that slow repetitive chant of ‘Collllllingwood’ whilst an opposition was lying unconscious on the ground.

Never have I felt so angry and disgusted attending a football game.  It was really shameful what happened that night with large sections of the crowd. It was a very tense, putrid period of time when it was all unfolding. 

I despise the ‘filth culture’ as opposed to their actual team.  (Don’t get me wrong, I still ‘love to hate’ Cox and Maynard for example, miss hating Ginnivan and quietly admire Elliot, he is a great player in my opinion). 
Bottom line, I have hated  the Filth for so many reasons over the years.  It just increased again that night.

I also hate the filth culture. But unlike you I hate everything about them, including the team.

I've mentioned it before*, but I can't even go to KB or any other matches involving the filth. Just does my head in. In particular many of the filth supporters are just vile; I just can't stand being near them en masse.

*much to the chagrin of some others ...

Channel 7 news the other night ... "Shock resignation" ...

FFS ... everyone knew he was gonna resign.

Don't think I'll ever forget his tunnelball throw effort in the goal square to force a rushed behind only to get pinged for throwing it.

Please bring back the facepalm emoji !!!
