the end of a great career

[David Mensch]

Hi cat fans, Menschy here.

Matthew Lloyd says that Essendon isn't hungry enough. After seeing Dean Rioli's substantial girth i'm not sure i agree with him. I wish hunger was all you needed to win a premiership, because here at Geelong we are practically Ethiopians! I really hope we can win one soon, because i have probably only got another 7-8 years in the game, so time is running out for me.

The financial situation at some clubs is a real worry. It doesn't look like the Geelong board are going ahead with my Amway idea, so we have to come up with some other ways of making money. I have offered to go on Sale of the Century on behalf of the club, but they were a bit luke warm on the idea. I have also suggested that the lower paid players take a pay cut, but it was pointed out to me that i am one of them, so i quickly retracted the idea. My final suggestion was at the end of the season we sell Garry Hocking's mullet. This one actually sparked some interest. Do i have to do everything at this club?

Speaking of Buddha, it is very sad that injuries have forced him to retire. Congratulations Garry, on a fantastic career. Craig Bradley plays his 350th this week. I have always thought that there's something dodgey about a bloke with two first names, but i'll give Braddles the benefit of the doubt.

We've got Melbourne this week. Joe Gutnik said he would wait until the end of the season before he ran for club president. Melbourne's season ended 5 weeks ago, so what are you waiting for Joe?

see ya

Cat attack, GO CATS!
Cat attack, GEELONG!

I hope you follow Buddha's lead, Menschy!!

Hey Menschy - what a champion you are!

I just watched my tape of the 1994 qualifying final - and it was you who kicked the ball to Billy Brownless. It showed how unselfish you were, as anyother mutt would of probably had a shot... and missed.

Who is Bomber putting you on against the Dees, Menschy?

Hey Menschy,

I nodded sagely when I saw the picture that was attached to the Buddha retiring story.

Behind the great man was his closest confidante and mentor, none other than your's truly. I am sure that without your inspirational words, Buddha would have lost the spark years ago!

I was also puzzled by the look on your face in that photo. I couldn't work out if it was saying "I am going to tear this game apart today" or "Oh my God! I think I left my car engine running!"

You could just imagine it, half way through the first quarter the ground announcer starts up:

"Will the owner of car registration M-E-N-S-C-H-Y please return to your car...."

Always thought there was something dodgy about a bloke with 2 first names Monster? How does this relate to your skipper, Ben Graham? Is this the start of a grand coup to take over the captaincy? Also wondering about your feelings regarding some of your other current team-mates in Joel Corey, David Clarke, Kent Kingsley and Tom Harley? The first rumblings of trouble down at the cattery? Hmmmmmmmm............
