In breaking news, Mokbel is granted bail, "get out of jail card" handed down, will shack up at sisters place in Viewbank, not to far from where I use to live, hillside pretty area of Melbourne without going into the bigger hills..Will he be the next rumoured coach of the Dee's? we need someone to get us out of jail fast....could say a bit of an expert escape artist and very well respected amongst his peers, he would be a tiger among the pidgins, ummmm. read once where I think a Columbian Chelsea player had his father kidnapped in a ransom attempt on said player, Roman Abramovich then owner "offered" to take care of the matter for said player, it was gratefully and kindly refused, police where able to do it... Thats what the Dee's Blues and Coasters need...

Ahh the stress of it all, you are not in the gutter alone there uncle Willie, my exile from trashy journalism keeps me reading the headlines only, tut tut Oscar, you been a and boy, wonder when they will join the Eagles s.h.i.t show to the Dees s.h.i.t show...and they haven't started on Hinkley and Voss yet..

Its a total rebuild mate, since your that fussy on a rental the sky the limit.

You need power and water supply, my brother in-law and sister fell in love with these gizmos when they visited Japan, used them in T21 and at there house, I am not really impressed but can understand a woman loving it.

Had this happen to me twice in a hotel I was staying in for a week at, simply you are running it to low.

Windows on all sides isn't a great idea since most of the heat would come in through the glass if unless you shade them.

Ahhh yes I was thinking preseason battling from 8th to 14th now im thinking bottom 4, no stranger there, we know it very well...I suspect its the new jumper wish they would frigging leave it at pre colour tv days the navy with red, it was HORROR time on the dawn of colour tv when they lighted the blue, if we won more than 4 games a season for what was an eternity you can colour me blue, I cringe when ever I see that jumper which was adopted as an away jumper in recent years but slightly darker, and now a good dam royal blue...hate it, its not the Demons. Will be seeing you in the elevator as you go up and we go down, and yes well Goodwin, has his critics and has managed to get a 15 min weekly gig on Fox footy in anticipation of unemployment next year, contracts up end of 26 takes him to 10 ys if he still gets there, its like this they will either extend or sack as they wont allow there coach to go into the final year with out a deal on the table or coming, the Demons have this great big target glued to its head, pretty dam sure the club doesn't want anymore bad press... Anyway I need to stay optimistic, Simons got us up before when it looked like we where gone, but it does look like the players would prefer an early exit...Simon does not strike me as a coach that is just going turn up Monday morning and tell the club hey im off to Mexico see ya...

Goodwin and his 2 former assistants are 1-8 and have a strangle hold on 15th, 17th and 18th, and Willie thought the good times where just around the corner...

Little bit amazing the press aren't dirty on the Tiger and the Club for having a rouge play for them, very little on the footy shows on this...boys will be boys, I mean Simon was dragged all over the place after defending his captains poor day out yet this basher hardly gets a mention...

2 large beers are 1.5lt of carbs, id give the beer up or go low car beer, low alcohol beer before I give up bread.

Hope you got that in writing and was signed off by that office.

No, Pattaya revenue department when asked clearly said, you remit funds that shows up in a Thai bank account you file a tax form. We have already worked out that each office seems to be working on their own interpretations so I will just leave it there. But just because you file does not mean you will owe tax and in my own case they were quite lenient on where the money went because I was over my allotted tax free threshold, but then its that office interpretation.

Well that might be a concern in an elected democracy but in the lands of dictators they have so much sweeping powers it wont matter one bit, Putin can take every Russian to the grave with him, the apparatus has so much control and wields so much fear who can will move to Thailand.

YES, BUT the US has and always wanted to be the mouth piece and universal police dog on watch, in that case by all mens Trump up the cash and the weapons.

Here they go....this is going to go on allllllllllll season, https://www.nine.com.au/sport/afl/news-2025-exclusive-harley-reid-essendon-bombers-recruitment-salary-eddie-mcguire-jimmy-bartel-20250319-p5lkyq.html Poor old Willie, how will you deal with this? Lions, Dockers then GWS, boy oh boy, Uncle Will needs to find something else to do match days up there on the farm. To think when I was a young apprentice on the train on the way to work I had my nose stuck in first the Age then opted for the Sun cause it was much smaller and I didnt annoy other passengers feeding off any football news crumbs, I had to pay for the paper now I can get all that news for free, but it aint news 80% of the time, its click bait. Good luck Will, your going to be in for a hell of a ride this season...

Well well well....Dees trying to emulate the Tigers, announce 6 new faces for the GWS game, 2 from last years draft, 1 from the 22 draft, 2 mature age recruits from Werribee, one picked up in the last draft the other 3 weeks ago, and Harry my man Sharp ex Lion on the bench for the Grannie... Am I excited? well you know how it goes, its a bit like the Russian front hey, meat through the grinder, GWS aint no Blues.....but im all for getting games into legs, something needed to change.. By the way dont know if anyone else noticed but boy didnt the Tigers look like the Demons of yesterday, out of defence, hugging the boundary, bombing it into the forward 50, just a different jumper....so what legacy did McQualter bring? ummm.....well finishing 10th not much,

Actually I could see it coming but I didnt expect the Blues to fall asleep at the wheel...

Chooks love affair to go on till end of 27, but them big offers the Saints are throwing around, "what" non takers, No pressure on Lyon this year but its 3rd or better or, or, or. Seems if you dig a little deeper we learn Jamarra has has family issues thats turned him upside down, be nice if they didnt paint him as a clubbing fun boy out all night and missing training due to it. Whats that you say Tony? What is the reality anyway? If I was Adrian I would be a little nervous, Adem was/is highly regarded and involved in flags at both the Hawks and Demons, add was a classy winger and half back who could drop it on your chest at 50m, (one club player by the way who I watched weekly, also hardly ever injured) now I backed in Hardwick when all you lot reckoned other wise now im backing in Adem Aze, and at least the Railto Tower in Collins St better than Cox. By the way I did notice how the Tigers moved the ball last year, was very much similar to the way we did in 21 with a few tweeks, I thought the tigers where competitive, go Adem... Here we go the Hairy Reid rotunda is on and spinning, well im not going to get drawn into it to much but the Eagles have been one of the better run clubs and if this is still true he signs and stays in WA, eventually, other wise the press is just going to spit it out ever few weeks a la English last year, but for two years, OMG can I bear it???? Well in Getway an AFL clone of 360 or something like that the news bubbled to the surface that once a matching winner ruckman forward for the 2021 GF told his former club mates he was open, well more than open to leaving the Dockers and coming back to the Demons, gees he cost them 2 first round picks, the guy has ripped us up a few times, and lets face it Max is a year to year proposition these days, I mean he looks like he could go on till 45 like TB12, who by the way bought a stake in the Raiders now thats like Ron Barrasi buying a stake in the Pies, anyway apparently Jet also told the Dockers he's "all in" but we shouldn't take to much notice of 'all in" Jimmy Johnson owner of the Cowboys last year off season said the same thing, "all in" then the NFL world went a buzzing only to learn by seasons end was "all in" didnt mean they would stock pile draft picks and free agents but "all in" to sack there coach, well the yanks love the word fire but in fact Macarthy did not get sacked or fired but instead not offered a new deal and stood down, dont get caught up on "all in", but I like to know why Jackson is toying with the idea of heading east again, might be to much winter sun do you think in WA? And of course on the rotunda with Hairy is Picket, another one that wont go away. Well they press wont let it go away.

I have a half eaten muesli bar somewhere in the pantry for you. Well it was round OR, can some one explain what the OR is meant to mean? Well cleaning up mud on the Gold Coast, Aussie shares tank, thank you President Trump, last time he got in I seen my shares at the bottom of the ladder for 4 years, beat the guy this time...Now poor old Tony Shaw who the dodgy journos call from time to time when they need a ridiculous statement this time on Jamarra, says the Pies should take a chance on the wayward kid that every one is begging to hate at the Western Oval, like really Tony? I know I know, taken out of context and your so old and lonely now and willing to talk to anyone these days. McRae gets a warning from the AFL over his alteration with Kingsley, now have you had a good look at Kingsley? he dont seem like a man you want to mess with, if there is anyone that never looks happy its this guy and it gets worse when there loosing or lost... Thus night at the G Adrians boys take on the mighty Tigers, expecting Adem's men to serve it up...was one of my all time fav winger/half back flanker at the Dees... Will we see a contract extension for the Bombes coach after there Friday night game? The other brother taking on the star studded Dockers...ummm... Cox is he out of his depths? lucky the guy is at home again... Big chance for the Super charged Roos to get the season opener under there wing here Fj.. Hope Port do them, thats all I can say... Flip a coin here so take HGA No way Jose would I put money on my club after the way GWS shredded the Pies... And in the sunset Sunday game which I would hate to be playing in as I hate Sundays, well I use to evermore when I worked, who's stepping up and who's more of the same?

Well uncle Willie, there was gonna be 4 games...I have to say I was sweating after the Swans died like 5 min after the game started, think the Eagles missed a bullet there uncle with Cox, the guy had ants in his pants the whole game, with you know how good everyone thinks the Pies are I was thinking I was looking down the barrel at a big fat Zero and 2, was not confident with my man Hogan out, well didnt they just touch up the Pies nicely?

My experience once out of BKK its a crap shoot on ordering food, and im with you with the undercooked chicken, look they just toss any meat and just and I mean just brown it, food in Pattaya just about everywhere is ordinary, when you do find a decent place go back 2 months later its crap, honestly this place is the worst on the planet for restaurant food.

Well men, Suns saved another embarrassment no? Lions dont get to hoist the pennant as well, and NRL has no issues with there big burly stars bashing up the mrs, Taylan May, a Sydney club has been asked about his fitness due to being stood down over that hiccup alleged altercation wth the mrs or gf, like in politics football fans have short memories as well.. https://www.nine.com.au/sport/nrl/news-2025-taylan-may-sydney-club-expresses-interest-court-case-reports-20250304-p5lgod.html Haven't read on it just the headlines but has Hardwick's hottie and former mistress now shacked up together and maybe even married, see even in AU younger women and older men work too, got a "job for the boys" @ the Suns? Well I dont know what the hooo harr is about like he met her at the Tigers office so she knows a few things about working at an AFL club, is it the press with NO news so again there making it up as they go along? Ya ive boycotted a number of so called AFL news outlets after the miss treatment my club had to endure for a lot of last year reaching fever pitch by the end of the season right up to the draft, then they still (reading headlines only) wanted to keep it rolling in the off season start of this year, then recently started on Picket and Freo, AGAIN, honestly any frigging dill can see there stacked and packed for small forwards @ Freo so where ya gonna play him? And do they really need another million dollar man on there books? And mates cant like posts by their mates? does it mean its set in concrete the guy wants to leave, by the way he grew up in SA at least the football part, there now digging up dirt on Ugle-Hagan, like the coach hates him the Captain hates him and Lobb where he stayed for a while now hates him.....who else hates him? No clubs are circling him, hey wait, a trade with the Blues, Adrian would love that, Makay to the Dogs for Ugle to the Blues, sound familiar? give em a week and them fellas will be spitting it out, remember the Dogs English? was going to the Eagles allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll season long, almost mentioned in passing weekly, according to the same news pests, right up until a month out then he casually resigned with the Dogs. In case those news hounds read our humble thread, NO Demons will be traded, there all on long contracts, and Picket is worth three big ones in the big smoke, we have a history of getting good capital for leaving players ie Jet Jackson, but hey, im of the opinion that that turning players over a la Kev Sheedy is good for the club, only once I seen a club hang on to there dads army and win a flag, that was the Hawks in the maybe 90s, under Jeans, like that team looked dead and buried the 2 previous seasons with Mathews and co kicking around with nothing to do on the forward line.

If you like to chat AFL go to the thread I posted above.

AHHH well I haven't lived in the area since 2013, but its still The Council Club to me.

It certainly is, dont know what they call the pub now but use to be The Council Club use to host bands Friday and Saturday night we the brothers use to rock down most weekends there in the 70's until The Excelsior over in Settlement rd Thomastown opened they had this great southern country rock band playing fri and sat for a long time, doing Allman Bros, Doobie Bros and the like stuff long before it hit the radio in Oz, (Ive always had an ear for fresh new music its why I rally listen to the golden oldies) Over the road from the pub is the Preson market and car park wonder what its looking like today they wanted to stick million a apartments over the top of it. The demise of pub rock for the Council Club, Excelsior and the hot Northcote one I forget name of now which was the Cold Chisel stomping ground for many a long year all came to an end with poker machines, they could make the same money or more plus lower costs with 1/10th of people, you know I hate gambling and pretty peed off with the AFL making it look like its normal to throw money on teams, I became even more anti gambling when I had a job for about a month in a den refurbishment over in Ivanhoe, if you can imaging a Chinese smoking heroin den at 7 am I would walk in and there would be about 4 or 5 deadbeats cig in hand pulling a leaver with the other a god dam beer in front of them smoke in the air feeding these ratchet machines...and always at least one token woman.....who I can guarantee I would never sleep with, and this was every morning I worked there, around 10 am they the customers who have no life would begin to trickle in... As a side not men, in breaking news the famous number 10 handed over to forward "Disco" Daniel Turner, now this number is not handed out lightly, looked like he could go places last year...worn previously by Andy Brayshaw, keep your eye on number 30, Harry Sharp, thank you Brisbane Lions, knows where the big sticks are recon this guy will play round one, and im getting a little excited about number 42, Aidan Johnson, mature age recruit from the VFL, got the body x2 of Clayton can move can mark can ruck and can be a forward, takes marks in packs like he's playing against the little league.
