Thank you, every day is a good day...some are better than others I finally found a publisher who will publish the boy's adventure stories I have written so that's a big tick. The books won't be available until after I am gone but it will be my legacy which I can leave for our children. Our son...

Dear fellow Saint’s supporters I am 63 years old and I am not going to live to see my 64th birthday* I'm not quite at death's door but I can see him skulking around in the garden. But enough of my problems... I am writing to say I cannot give any more of my time to the club I have loved for such...

Point taken I taught for almost 40 years and tried to stay up to date with different things so I could talk to them about the things they liked, some things I didn’t bother with and it was frightening the number of kids who believed something they had seen on t.v or the internet was true (to...

Thank you Captain Risky, that would be amazing

I still think it would be funny. It seems to me that a lot of the younger generation need things explained more

Thanks George im going to enjoy this year very much ive even told the family they have to get me to Marvel Stadium to watch the Saints play (even if it’s for half a game) Go Saints

I think I read nearly all of the posts after the G.W.S. game I suggest posters check out Monty Python's Argument Clinic. If someone says up, you don't have to react by saying down As for the comments about one of the umpires? If it is a bad performance it needs to be called out. Being an old to...

The link below is a fascinating read. A short summary is talking about the young people today who are not dyed in the wool fans. I liked the comparison between the sporting teams owner’s children. The oldest boy going to college wanted a tv and a subscription while the younger girl wanted a...

‘someone told me that when he was playing for Collingwood, and treat it with the disdain that gossip deserves, that when a kid asked him to sign his football card he would put his initials on it...unless he was being paid and then he would sign his full name. on another note, 40 years ago I...

Think you nailed it Brains Trust. I know football is a business and players will play for any club that will pay them, but I just think it is a nice touch that some of the players you have are playing for a team they barracked for as a child. Get them into a Grand Final and I think they will...

I have a mate who thinks he knows a bit about the Pies and he told me that Treloar is on a lot of money which they want to get out of paying, his hamstrings are dodgy, wife is in Queensland and he suffers from anxiety. There is also a rumour that he has asked for 3 days each week in Queensland...

Good morning all, I cannot even describe how good I feel today because there are no words. Over the last few years I despaired of seeing my club play finals again so last night's win was massive. The singing of the club song and including all of the support staff, runners, coaches and anyone...

My next door neighbour ( a top bloke, despite being a Melbourne supporter) is concreting his driveway before putting bricks on the concrete. With a bit of luck this will have set before he sees it.

About 20 years ago I did some p.d. about helping boys with anger management issues. The p.d. was called Rock and Water and I used it to help some boys at a school in Melton where I was teaching. A lot of breathing and relaxing the shoulders and taking in deep breaths and thinking about the...

So I have dragged my sorry arse into 2020 knowing that this will be my last year. Thank you Corona virus for spoiling my year Did some grocery shopping this morning so my wife said, “It’s half time and Saints are 4 goals up, I’ll record the game for you.” Our daughter came for a visit and I woke...

Just signed up my wife and daughter (3 game memberships) so two more to their tally

Yes please, I have 2 entries for myself and a mate if we have a competition. You always need someone to prop up the bottom of the ladder.

My son signed up his partner and is buying my wife a 3 game pass. So 2 more to the tally

Hi George Had my confidence knocked a bit. My oncologist has decided that because I don’t intend to have surgery or more chemotherapy then she doesn’t need to pass on information. My wife got the results of my scans and my body is not as healthy as I thought. But every day I open my eyes is a...

Monty Python at its best. Respect

Pft I see your foot and raise you with my foot Ankle needs refusing, need a knee replacement, two back surgeries and in hospital having chemo and the nurse said, “Maybe I need to do more exercise.” Hope it gets better and isn’t too painful

Oh, wait, is it poor form to like a post about yourself? Brains Trust and I might be a little bit guilty

Good luck with the chemo, I always smile when the nurse puts on her gown, gloves and protective glasses to protect themselves from the stuff that they are pumping into our bodies. But if it’s working then it’s all good. I had scans last week and my tumours haven’t advanced so I get another 3...

Hi Jughead, September sounds good, Thomas couldn't make it over for Father's Day (we will have our Father's Day in a few weeks.) But it was a pretty proud dad that sat and signed books with his son for the book launch. I just made sure that the author's name was slightly bigger than the...

Hi Jughead If you go to White Light Publishing and check out videos you can see the talk I gave. I dedicated the third book to my big sister but as I started to read it I saw her in the audience and that was me done. I have some books here at home so if you give me your secret identity and...

I would also like to thank BrainsTrust, Big Monty and George for letting me take part in the bigfooty podcast. An hour or so talking about something we love

Just a quick update My sympathies to saintkildaman for his loss. I’m glad the Saints had a win for you My Oncologist got me to have a scan and my tumours are not doing anything. They can’t measure the ringlet cells So when asked what I wanted to do, I said I’ll have 3 months off from chemo...

Thanks George When the photographer had me looking wistfully out the window I thought...great I am going to look like a w***er. My mate said he can't wait to see the photo because he was getting it tattooed on his backside
