I’m just relieved we’ve finally got an official cheese partner. Club’s been asleep at the wheel on this for too long.

As long as it's not Cracker Barrel.

Took a sicky off work today and did a Spring cleaning sesh of my house just for something to do. Ripped these bad boys out - every one I’ve owned since I was 3. Feeling v nostalgic for the good old days right now

For those who have everything...

I don't the ToD has everything but he loves a shout out!

Apparently, today, Keith Grieg was asked how he would go against today’s players.

‘I’d be in the top 10,’ Grieg said.

‘Not the top 5,’ he was asked.

‘Na, but you have to remember I’m 70 this year.’

Is anyone having issues with their magic ticket number - been a pain in the arse trying to get a ticket

Nicely re-worked Bradman joke

Nicely re-worked Bradman joke

Well there you go.
I knew it was a familiar joke, but couldn’t remember where

 

[Hojuman]

Went to my first game 1963. Can' t remember a worse or shall we say inexperienced backline.

Sure a couple of those young blokes will become better players ( ie: Scott / Young ) but.....sheeeshhhhh. lf our mids and forwards don't have some defensive aspect tomorrow Dogs will kick 24 + and Bruce 11

Brilliant. Reckon l would have seen every game Frank played. Didn't know that '76 G.F. story. Do you know Leigh Matthews knocked out Greig twice in that game ? Dirty campaigner.

He had a brilliant leap and was an excellent mark. He didn't need much of a run up either.

Played more like a 196cm bloke than a 188cm bloke.

Yep been flu ridden all week and just saw the Team Sheet

Good grief

I am going back to bed

Reckon the Club should play Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' before the opening bounce. Would certainly get me amped up more if I was player.

Sadly "dazed and confused" is more fitting.

For all you old northerner's the huge block of tiny commission flats between Haines and Molesworth st. opposite The Albion all gone.

Not sure what is going up. Presumably some mordernistic appt.complex.

Which was itself a reworked Ty Cobb joke (or maybe Ted Williams?).

Good Keep the developers away. And the school even better. Kennett closed all the others, Boundary rd. Primary, West Melbourne Primary.

The number of people directly impacted by Kennett who still gobbled at everything he did was astounding.

Is going to be "mixed" residential no. Like some will still be commission.
