I hope Mr Pert is engaging with whoever is succeeding in extracting these countless millions of $s from the state government for the never ending development of the " tennis precinct " now scheduled to flow on to 2024

I also hope he is engaging with the " traditional owners '' of the land who are now so revered on the big game occasions at the MCG

I well remember when the MFC trained on an open oval on the north side of Swan St and it was the only development between the Yarra River and Punt Road on that side

I also well remember the development of the south side of Swan St for the 1956 Olympic Games.It too was pretty much public parkland enshrined to us by our forefathers apart from the Commonwealth land occupied by the Artillery and Engineers depots ( that's where our Vietnam conscripts departed from ) .When the freeway was approved ironically that land ( next to Gosch's Paddock  was acquired) and was transferred up the road to where Rod Laver Arena now stands as compensation.  

To the best of my recollection the MCC/MCG is administered by an authority which automatically includes the Premier 

Tennis or the traditional owners of Yarra Park ?

The four AFLX 2019 captains will build their superhero teams via a nationally broadcast Draft on Wednesday February 6. The Draft will be on 7Mate, Fox Footy, AFL.com.au & AFL Live App from 7pm AEDT. 

Fair dinkum unbelievable.

 I call this the “reverse draft” because I’ll be watching it hoping that we don’t have any players picked.

 

I watch all of my summertime Aussie Rues on NITV

Why can't I watch Eddie and his team on there ?

I believe next year its to be played in Portsea on horseback !

Watching some slow TV on SBS on demand, the Indian Pacific 3 hour version, riveting TV but the journey is a bit rushed for me, like T20 cricket. Can’t wait for Saturday’s 17 hour version of Perth to Sydney by train non stop! 

Its a bit like the MFC story, no commentary !

Can’t see Lewis in our best 22 if we have improved 

Do you think his Ego will let him spend the majority of the season at Casey

Now that Mitchell has rushed back to the sanctuary of the nest maybe Clarko will steer Lewis up to Brizzy too !

MFC has propped up the Dawks for years its all really been about jobs for the boys

Tom $cullie right may the downhill slide continue to gain momentum

I'm sure Clarko once said a coach shouldn't stay more than 10 years but now he's got the Dingley challenge of course !

May " comeback Jeff " continue the mayhem

We are F'd !

I was actually knighted when Tony Abbott was in charge (Remember the Dark Ages) He was just throwing them about. So i grabbed one!!

Thanks for explaining that WYLB. I always imagined it was because of your proximity to Ripponlea and your distinguished service to the ABC !

Can't wait for Carlton to go bust !

I've worked with explosives in the farms of Victoria, the coal mines of Qld, and gold mines of the Solomon Islands since 1999

Any time a blast doesn't fire as intended, you dont accept blame yourself, you blame a faulty detonator.

Does a preaedjactualtion count as a faulty detonator ?

He was a rubbish player who was soft in the contest, had horrible disposal, and made poor decisions.

Don't confuse mouthy as being hard. 

On the contrary I thought he was a hard at the contest player who under the most trying circumstances made the best of team decisions

He was indeed unfortunate to miss many goals under extreme pressure

When Mills was holding onto his jumper in a most unsportingly act which was captured on tv Buggy simply replied with a backhanded fend off

That the reprisal was featured on tv was to be expected as it was bigger than anything Cassius Clay handed out 10/10 a perfect hit but it was neither premeditated or intentional

I thank Buggy for his time at the MFC and wish him well at his next club

" Don't confuse mouthy as being hard "

This pretty much sums up your contributions on here !

Pedersen was cooked. Smith is poo. Hope TMac and Weid play full seasons next year and we don’t have to worry about fringe battlers who might or might not get a call-up.

Speaking of Lewis ?

I'd like to explain mine but I"m still too traumatised from when BBO hit the c button instead of the p button many years ago !

Good spot is Thurgoona. Looking at a few houses over that way as i work in Albury now.

If you were a real Demon Disciple dazzle you'd be buying in Table Top !

Its so perifial to the last 50  years !

My 2019 scarfs Acrylic, made in China and I told them years ago that I was Happy to forgow an annual scarf in the interest of club finances

I"m an Aussie and I proudly wear my 70's scarf with a bit of wool in it and they can stick the MFC initials up their backsides

Weve given up the best logo that was lightyears ahead of the competition before car stickers were even thought of

We're now reduced to the CFC ( X 2 ) and GFC etc

Good luck to ye old faithful and I await to see if any of this is " Pertinant " 

I've won an AFL contract to install the weather viens at Blundstone Arena for season 2019

You probably wont hear from me for a while as I work up to my season finale in round 23 !

Look I'll freely admit to being a few years older than OD but not as old as CBdees

Which probably means we've all lost our memories of sex

However when I see the Headers on Demonland and Interverviers I cant help getting aroused !

Most white urban folk will never fully understand or comprehend the connection that our first Australians have to the wider family or mob, that in many cases has multiple layers and complexities. They bring responsibilities and at times distractions to indigenous footballers and sportsmen. Just as the importance of connection to land is so important. Plying your trade in a city or urban environment away from your family and home town can be very difficult. Having indigenous mentors can help but it is often not the answer. 

This may not be Jeff's problem but there has clearly been something missing that can't be explained by just loss of form or confidence. 

Attitude and motivation is impacted and deeply rooted to a persons happiness, emotional psyche, and sense of place.  

On reflection I've been " deeply rooted " all my life !
