Well, we know that the decision (or not) to contest the PP is up tonight.

Also think the Board have to work through the media rights payment - basically Telstra having won it puts our sponsor, Optus, on the outer for broadband services. But Telstra are paying each Club $500k for this - up from about $100k - so its going to be hard to go back. Even Essendon* are coming back into the fold.

As for other things being discussed...Synners mentions changes...what changes could there be? Board? Senior Management?

Molesy from what i understand senior maganement changes are in the air tonight...

Same time...the Ancient Greeks used to make an envelope type thing to put there lentils into. A disposable eating utensil kind of like the Indian terracotta cup they use to drink chai.

They used to put their lentils in it when they were on the run...eloping. Lentils En-v-elope.

So next time you lick an envelope to seal a letter, better thank the ancient vegan Greek hippies.

That is contrary to the reports about ancient Greeks (i have to qualify with the word 'ancient' here) that they were into beef...

Big Envelopes (L)Entil Food. Like some of the Asian languanges, the Ancient Greeks struggles with their 'L's
