Return to Glory

I wasn't actually thinking Jesse.

And give it a couple of years and the AFL will bring the sun tanned one in from the cold. Maybe not as the Chief Integrity Officer but there will be a campaign to soften/ gloss over his image.

We've relaxed that policy a little lately though to be fair. Couple on our list and I have no problems with it....as long as they can play.

Great stuff although you must have deleted The Templeton and Balme years to get it down to '800 pages of misery in the nicest possible taste.'

Richmond - the gift that keeps on giving.

It certainly does read like SWYL and I are of the same thought. Good. I am a Melbourne supporter and member and I like the current MCC alignment as I am a member of the MCC. I derive benefit from this arrangement but at a financial cost. Your implication is that this is a bad thing and have indicated that the best thing for the club is for members in my position to eventually 'drop off the perch.' This is part of your master plan.

You're relentlessly pushing this idea of our ties with the MCC and MCG as no more than simply shelter. What a load of rubbish. Both are intrinsic to who we are as a football club. They are our history which may or may not be relevant to you (I don't know) but, for mine, any ultimate success would be lessened if we disregarded our identity. They are also not the reason we have failed in recent times. That's an issue of poor administration more broadly. Happy to discuss training base options but your arguments on this are also disjointed.

At this stage of the game they're all elite kicks Song...just as we are elite posters.

Played for the Dees and trained two Melbourne Cup winners - stuff of dreams really

It's hard to say. Perhaps go back again and see where the conversation takes you. I.e. You :'I like bread'. Him: 'I very much like bread'

Hell of a conversation.

Just watched Frankie Detori's ride on Wicklow Brave. FMD. Let's go three deep for the first 1500. Thought Shane Dye's ride on Veandercross would take some beating as worst ride of all time. But I no complain.

Very big statement.

Milkshake is an interesting one BBO. His past seasons have shown an element of feast or famine. When he's on song, he's certainly in our best 22. His bad has been very bad and therein lies the challenge for player and club. Goodwin would know this.

So you're saying he's still a chance?

Oliver to push for All - Australian

The review was pretty tough - equated the beers had the night before with amount of disposals. If we follow that logic, twenty beers may equate to twenty disposals and so on and so forth. I haven't even factored in spirits. It's a big yes from me.

Thank you for your kind words BBO. Three years seems a bit ridiculous. I'm saying two. Mark my words.

You're suggesting a last minute swap Enyaw. Ahead of your time as always.

Watch again. I counted 8 of the 9 by hand.

I'll add music. Perhaps some Morricone.

As all Demonlanders would be aware by now, my judgement (let's not count Lucas Cook) is impeccable, dare I say second to none, when it comes to the draft. Quinton Narkle, son of Phil and nephew of Pharc is the player I like. Get on board.

Next thing you'll be saying he's a better kick than Col Garland. Has the world gone mad?

Let's hope for the latter.

Perhaps not long enough
