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.

I heard a rumour that Buddy and Clarkson dont get along.Don't talk at all in fact, for the past year. At the start of the year it was "It's him or me". Yet they still won a flag. I am starting to really get irritated by the squeaky clean Swans. Just as I wrote earlier-the cap allowance at the Swans only helps Buddy and Tippet get a better view of Bondi Beach. It does not help rookie kids from Shepparton get a flat in Maroubra. The comp is a bit of a farce. Although I would like to win it still!

Justin Ba Baa. Get it.

See ya Col. Thanks for the good times. ( None really stick out atm) Good luck hanging out with the mafia over there and frequenting the same two nightclubs. Hope you can get a game with the Wanchors.

I agree ,it's a jungle out there . Some of the name calling and insults on here are pathetic. What is worse are the little beatches that throw grenades and then go running to the mod squad. I have been banned on here several times by pathetic little people crying after I've called them out for racist,ignorant or twerpy posts. RTG , I think we need a big boys room where sophisticated ,otherwise normal people can go and insult and character assassinate with impuntiy.

Slow and bumpy- like riding a camel up a rocky mountain. Seemingly futile and painfully slow. nothing to do with the computer system though.

If we can make a half decent defender out of him one day I will be happy. Needs to replace the faux tough guy image with either real toughness or just move on.

Went a few times. The excitement nearly killed me. All that back and forth. Like watching a bunch of old molls chase a tram .

The Duke of Donvale perhaps?

So the plan is to switch it wide and run in droves. let the bombers cruise through the middle, right?

I know, I know . Sometimes they touch bums and there has been some horrific fingernails broken. Not to mention the hurt feelings from some of the names they call each other.

I'll make it simple. Is intentional contact allowed ? No. I'm not saying basketball isn't a tough game. Just that it's for pea-hearts who like wearing dresses.

What he lacks in pace and height he makes up for in missed tackles and poor disposal. One of Neelds automatic leaders.

The game itself is a non contact sport last time I cared to look back in the 80's. I'm not calling them a bunch of muscly pansies or anything. The reality is the fact that they are two different games ,with different rules,one requiring contact ,one not. and Shaq is a big sissy.

So the Swans own all the AFL kiddies in NSW and we have to ask them permission if we spot some talent from NSW.

They wont be laughing at our version BB! Although I like the nickname "Paul" better than "Hulk".
