Bernie Vince smashed Geelong apart last year and won them the game . He crunched Selwood into submission . If we get him , I will be stoked. Any other Essay kids coming to Melbourne? We should call our training base "RUNDLE".

I agree with you on the C grade midgets Neeld pulled out of the rubbish. Loathe to take any more pension plan Cats. Their footy dept. is much smarter than ours.(Balme).

Brian Royal had it humming along beautifully . He only needed another five years and 5 more top ten draft picks to get it perfect. Sadly, he was cut off too soon. On a serious note,there is room for optimism. Big Max, the Jacks,pickles, Jones. A bit tough to rate Evans with that lot last year-the games he played were AFL standard. Time for him to stop malingering on the fkn list. If the goals get moved to the wings, Grimes will be a champ. The crab running is actually useless-must stop.

Must be why he got on his bike to the Bombers. Funny how the guy who bought the weapon into AFL is Mr Clean.

That was several years ago. He is much better than that now. But the Cats wont trade him anyhow. He is lightning-as fast as Jetta, Burgoyne or Garlett.

Some men will smoke a dry cigar AND miss the pot . Alas, Brent had to leave the officers tent for just such a thing.

Neeld the useless nerd killed our chance of that. "In the square"thinking and all that. Now there will be clubs camping around his door. From a club that has had some success with guys like Grinter, Zantuck, Ditterich,Jacko etc, i am amazed at how weak and reactionary we became. Collingwood has managed to wrangle a bunch of sexual perverts, druggies,dumbos and half wits to a premiership but we still carry on like a bunch of old moles at a church fete. Likewise Carlton had Dorra, Dumbo kerna,the murdereer,Rhys,the donut maker etc and won a flag. Weak personalities show up on the sports arena. As we have seen with the choirboys Neeld wanted because they would submit to his School master schtik.

He has become a Mormon and will be requesting an allowance for his 4 wives. Apart from the baggage hitherto mentioned ,I read that he is off the Winnies and Bourbons. The kid is an extremely popular person where he lives and is very well liked . I suspect the Eagles and the Dockers will be spreading rumours that he is the new Kieth Richards so as to snaffle him up in the draft. Has anyone got footage of the film Bran Nue Dae? I am hnadicapped in the upload dept ,and others.

Fitzy is displaying versatility and goal kicking ability that exceed the impact Savage would have on a game. I think we may need Chapman for a year,to teach the young mids we draft how to get ball.

It only seems like a worst case scenario. She'll slip into "the life" .

Was slower than a herd of Turtles stampeding through molasses uphill in winter. But seems Ok now.....

Ted Carroll is still hanging around the Past Players as is Bryan Kenneally. When I think of the free beers these guys must have drunk-oh the humanity. I was coached by both of them. Kenneally was a Champ backman from the 60s-probably dour and strong. Carroll was a Collingwood reject who only played a handful for Melbourne but is the Past Players Pres I think. They never taught me the art of sniffing out free beers-I learnt that for myself.

Visa,paypal,wikileaks,CIA,The Alpaca Liberationist front,the commies,the NWO,the guys that staged 9/11 and the moon landing.All of them.

Quite. (Carrier pigeons tell not tales) Same with Pay Anyone. SHHHHH. They are watching.

My entire regiment got Tattoos while on leave in Siam BBO.I'm not proud of it, but Captain Phillip, my personal guru on matters of taste got one in his days with the Navy. Old ma'am loves it apparently (and the tattoo).

Very good way to trade given the Tax office are so efficient these days. Surely he can throw in a case of Shiraz as well?

People dont tend to post cash these days Dee-luded. I do like the fact that you are not in possession of a credit card. In this spirit ,I only carry gold bullion in a small pouch i wear in my waistcoat ,near my fob-watch.

Terrible shame Colin.Anyway, I'm due for my Elevenses at the club and I will discuss this further behind closed doors. As long as the boys hit the track by early February we will muddle our way through another season and do the best we can. Cheery pip old egg!

That was then, this is now. Melbourne is no longer an upper-crust, private boys club. One look at the grammatical errors and the phrasing from some of our contributors shows that there are many people with state school education or worse, tech school, getting around in Melbourne colours. The question is how did these plebs ever get a membership and why weren't they blackballed? The gradual relaxation means that now even a factory worker can get a Melbourne membership and we have lost our appeal to the would-be social climbing downhill skiing set. Where once we had doctors playing for us in the ruck, I have noticed several people in the stands who were possibly not even born in Australia, let alone South Yarra, our recruitment zone. If we are going to run down the path of acceptance, eventually we will have to accept a lower class of member, perhaps even New Zealanders. It is part of the inevitable push to professionalism and we must begin to embrace it in the next fifty or so years as we consider the change. I am as appalled as all of you that the most important thing in the world, tradition is being compromised by that terrible quest for success that the aspirational lust after so vulgarly. We must put a stop to it and simply do nothing, as we have always done.

Jeremy Howe was recruited under the "Footy show Hangers from Tassy" draft rule that allows us to pluck a Taswegian from obscurity every 10 years. AKA "The Robbo Rule".

There is something of the alco drongo country dumbo about him that Collingwood have been trying to change-too good to not consider.

If you've seen her, you'd be demanding one. BBo would need to part with several of the lads to move her on . She can always come and work with me at the Gat if she has the required drive and dedication.

Sensible given that top 5s get a bit demanding and are hit and miss. We have a team full of them. Tom Mac is about the only one that we fluked.( taken in the 70s)

I like the new PG avatar . It's good for the kiddies to see the "lads" relaxing. Assuming it's two lads, in which case it will be banned from the curriculum in Russia.

Maybe Dew could talk to Pedo about the importance of preparing your body to be an elite footballer.
