There's three certainties in life, death, taxes and... Triplechins being duplicitous a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly calibrated technology a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly trained umpires Bevo, Lyon, Simmo, Hardon, Scott, Scott, Clarko blaming a loss/poor season on everyone else except themselves The usual suspects milking free kicks at every turn Maysie flattening somebody/anybody then coming out and being BoG next game Goody and Richo holding a 45 min. pressa and telling us absolutely nothing Clayton winning the Bluey Max will hit the post from five yards out directly in front BT shuffling his ipod in the commentary box and asking Our Daisy to pick a tune.

Australia has the fifth highest rate of volunteerism in the world. Reliable stats comparing year-on-year increases and deceases in volunteerism are hard to come by, as scales of measurement and variables constantly change. But any increase/decrease is generally accepted as being small.

and i bet he's: training the house down never been fitter settling in well helping the kids bring his premiership experience looking forward to having an impact loving all the boys.

I ran into CK in the dry-cleaner at the Camberwell Junction in the late 1990's. What a complete and utter @#$E &%le. Let's not delude ourselves regarding Tripplechins. Like Microsoft did to Apple in the 1990's, Colonwood needed to prop up the bulk of the competition or else risk playing with themselves every weekend (double entendre intended). And Colonwood only ended up in this position of market dominance due to the ineptitude of the VFL administration for the preceding 40 years. It's why the Commission was formed to run the comp in 1985 - curtail the preferential treatment to a handful of clubs at the expense of the Deez and others. Next deluded statement from CK - "we invented the game". Nothing but a Gaslighter our Eddie. Here's the problem with CK's statement. Reinterpreting history to suit oneself distorts reality. It's virtually unrecognisable at first, and almost passes unnoticed. Then reinterpretation builds on itself and becomes normative. The truth becomes marginalised as the domain of the elite and facts become whatever one wants them to be. The end result? The Deez are relocated to LA in 2055 because the new CEO of Colonwood, Jack Ginnivan, says "the City of Melbourne isn't big enough for the Mighty Pies and the Demons, let alone the MCG. We were here first, everyone know that."

Tiges and think in the same sentence . . . 🤨

This is such brilliant news. The switch is pure genius. Reminds me of the time FIGJAM was asked, after Travis Cloke had just kicked Colonwood out of the game for the umpteenth time, "have you ever thought of teaching Cloke how to kick?" Buckley replied (and if looks could kill, the journo would be well into his next life by now), "you recon I haven't been doing that?" Words honestly fail me sometimes.

Sunk cost fallacy. Pretty much every Dee is a victim of this syndrome @WalkingCivilWar@layzie.

Sorry for the misunderstanding @Orion. I thought your observation about JVR was spot on. Love your work. Long may astute observations such as yours reign on 'Land. We need people like you as a counter-weight to people like me (and certain others - you know who you are 😍).

Look @Orion. If you're going to get on 'Land in February and bring facts into the the discussion, you can hand back your membership now.

Every time I get stuck into Horethorn on 'Land, I get wacked. So I won't say anything in case I say something.

If true, then Lewis is much sillier than I thought. Jordon and Black are barely playing the same sport, let alone comparable as footballers. Black player 300 games, won a Brownlow, a norm smith, played in three flags, won three B&F and captained his club. JJ will be very fortunate to emulate one of those.

The Titanic actually had a pretty good turning circle - it was the Queen Mary that had problems in that domain. Just checking, you are talking about the centre half forward and full forward that played in Melbourne's first premiership in 57 years, just 15 months ago, kicking five goals between them? JVR = maybe a superstar - hasn't played one game of senior footy.

Why the phuuukkkk is Pedo on the bench again?

Michael Long would have knocked them all out if he had had the chance?

Brian Taylor gets stranded on a desert island with nothing but a lifeboat with a puncture in it The Filth invest in pants that actually fit Ginnivan Daisy replaces Gil

QD's been on a lovely break since 23 Dec. Very happy Comes onto Demonland to ensure he hasn't missed anything important Reads this thread Checks the bathroom cabinet for razorblades Remembers he bought an electric razor last year around this time.

I'm a Dees man, but loved Barry Round. Fair, talented, footy brain par excellence, legitimately tough, ornament to the game. Barry and Rod 'the Tilt' Carter were the best reasons to watch the Swannies every second Sunday back then. May you continue putting it down the throat of those nippy rovers ever more Barry.

[censored] . . . that's a huge call :-)

I lost a pearce last night myself. Changed the sheets though.

FMD - it's Cornes.

Pretty ordinary centre line.

Big trouble when Frost is your main man.

giving summer workshops to umpires on how to cast Brownlow votes.

Maybe Kossie's had a spiritual awakening.

Sheez, hope we don't play Maysie on him in the intra-club games. Charges could escalate from common assault to manslaughter.
