    Quite obviously the blacked out figure represents the Australian Federal election electronic media blackout. Presumably the picture of the most important person in Australia will be revealed after his identity is confirmed over the weekend.

    Minor amendment. I suspect long-term St Kilda supporters know what it feels like. Years of poor performance (was it 5 wooden spoons in the 1980s?) and when they finally become a decent footy side they get sidetracked by a silly schoolgirl, a sillier player manager and a really silly ex-Essendon player.

    More importantly, did our guys have a Mad Monday? If so, presumably there was no inappropriate behaviour or, at least, any evidence has been satisfactorily buried.

    I wouldn't have thought so. I suspect actual games of Finals footy will dominate. If the club wants to "dominate" the footy coverage, Tuesday or Wednesday would be the best days as all other days are dominated by selection news, match day coverage and post-match wrap up. But whether "dominating" the coverage is an integral part of the timing of any decision would be questionable for mine.

    As opposed to "true truths". Sums up the less literate media pretty well.
  6. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Not a big pool to consider. Oakley-Nicholls, big Vic Aanensen, Phil Earley (did he even play a game?). Who else?
  7. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Actually, we could be ninth. But I'd take it.

    What exactly is this award for? Best off-field behaviour? best administration? best governance (seriously)? And who decides?

    Surely there's a clue in the reference to Bhutan. That's the place that measures Gross National Happiness.

    Should suggest this in the 2014 slogan thread

    That's about a minute longer than me. (I thought I saw Julian Assange at the 11 second mark...couldn't be could it?)

    Redleg, you forgot the cost of all the wonderful extras the members get, such as, um, er...Oh, forget it.

    Just like every year for the last 7 or so, all the best stuff for Melbourne supporters happens after round 22* and before round 1 the following year. This year is exceeding every other one so far. *Just for the pedants, Round 23.

    What we did is "sack" Mark Neeld; if Worsfold's not at WCE next year it's because his contract was not renewed. Semantics, perhaps, but a lot more respectful for a coach who not only coached them to a premiership but has played and coached there for over 20 years. Why am I putting it in this thread? Because when the time eventually comes, I hope we have declined to renew the contract of our next coach - and only then if he didn't retire on his own terms first.

    I didn't think we'd get Paul Roos, Peter Jackson or Mitch Clark. So I'm not giving up just yet on getting Ross Lyon and John Longmire as Roos' assistants either.
  16. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Another prediction (if Roos signs on): Sydney v Melbourne at the SCG, Round 2, Saturday night televised on Channel 7. (Round 1 still likely to be GWS v Sydney, in my view).
  17. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Agree with everything above plus he has consistently improved his game, year on year.

    Can someone explain the voting system? Isn't it something like every player gets a vote out of 6 from the coaches? If that's correct, it can give a different result than necessarily expected with players being rewarded for regularly playing. (So expect Dunn to get a lot of votes). Also, is it correct that last year we didn't have a best first year player but some other concocted award for the best almost a first year player?
  19. La Dee-vina Comedia
    It's fair enough to look at the case against. If the Melbourne coaching selection panel doesn't do this, they would be failing in their duty. But I suspect a similar list could be made for every other potential coach. The better question is whether the list of points for outweighs the list of points against.
  20. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Best line of the year - and not just on Demonland. Take a bow, Master. I agree, and neither is Jeremy Howe. But when you've got such a poor midfield, occasionally players like Grimes and Howe need to go there. If we can get a proper midfield, I'm convinced Grimes can settle on HBF and Howe on wing or HFF.
  21. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Is our win rate statistically worse at Docklands than elsewhere? I thought we were equally poor everywhere.
  22. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Just seeking clarification. Did he say "after the Grand Final" or after that team's final game for the year?
  23. La Dee-vina Comedia
    So that's her Father's Day duty done.
  24. La Dee-vina Comedia
    If nothing else, at least we get to play in September.
  25. La Dee-vina Comedia
    if Jesus Christ is appointed head coach, expect this guy to get a game.
