Some of you may remember a Barry Humphries song released in the mid-'60's called "Snow Complications".
His character was a young unctuous, arrogant, born-to-rule silver spoon sucker who regaled us with his ditty of travelling the world's ski spots while doing a little bit of business for his old man in Oz. His favourite spot was Mt Buller where he would curl up with a few tubes, a few snow bunnies ... and 'snow complications'!
Sounds like the winter anthem of our right-to-rule brethren at MFC.
Unfortunately for them there may be very little snow this weekend but plenty of complications at the 'G.

| With so many silver tales following them I could never understand why the Melbourne Football Club was always skint. But one day a bloke told me it was because their followers (I won't call them supporters) have deep pockets and short arms. Case closed. |

Coodabeens give snow complications a run nearly every QB in honor of the opening ski season. |

Yeah that's what I was thinking, he's just right in it every week, he's such an exciting player.
I never discount Melbourne, that god awful draw is still in my mind. Oh that was an awful day!

With Adams out, Kennedy will be a certainty to play the in and under role. |

BUT, how will the Deeeees silver spoons get their range rovers into the G carpark, with snow chains on the wheels, ready for a quick exit

I think you're on the money. If it is & it works out then the lack of depth we've had in the last few years will have been covered, in this regard.

Not after last years debacle when we rested Beams against the dogs.
Looking forward to seeing Rambo on Hogan if it eventuates. Kennedy might be a chance to come in for JDG. I wasn't that impressed with JDG's performance yesterday. He was like a deer in the headlights on a couple of occasions. |
Would Brown have the mobility to go with Hogan? Thinking Frost might be the better call
The Ds like to give us a run for our money and every once in a while have been able to get up. They'll try to close us down and will threaten us more than a few times.
However, at the end of the day they are a bottom 4 club and we have been hammering bottom 4 sides this season.
Pies by 70. |

Agreed Dave.
We have no reason to think we can just turn up and thus beat anyone. Look at our first half v Norf (we were crap). Let's put in a full 100 minutes and get a result. Beware a side that can play, but can't sustain eg Melbourne. They just need a sniff to keep trying, and thus make things difficult for us. So we need to be on our game. |
