To start I really enjoyed the win on Saturday.

However I feel quite off hand about the MFC right now.

I feel like oh good the club is getting going at last so they don't need me any more.

The membership will probably take a big rise this week and when we win next weekend it will go up again.

Next two weeks are interstate then Richmond at the G which will be the only game I can go to till the Hawks game ( OS for 3 weeks )

This may be contributing but I feel quite detached at present strange!

Wait until we are 4-0 OD ... :blink:

    It's either too much single malt or .... more probably not enough OD.

    Zero Bbo

    But some nice heathcote red at my sisters on Saturday night.

    Shiraz from Heathcote is usually top class. Hope you downed some of your sister's pinot.

    Interesting Bbo their entire grop of grapes this year was destroyed by European wasps so no 2015 vintage.

    But the 2014 is coming along nicely in the barrels.

    And yes we did crack a couple of 2013.

    Don't get too far ahead of yourself.

    I hope JV plays on number 9 if he gets a game. A couple of those smashes into the ground would go down well.

    Need to build on that win. Have to roll GWS in Canberra. Need to win the games we have a chance to win. Best thing is for the players to gain belief.

    Agree Redleg. Momentum would be good for this group.

    WOW that is disturbing news

    We are coming off bumper crops of magnificent grapes in all the North East.

    The concern is what to do with the the large quantity of last years not so good which were kept after a few years of small yields of excellent quality. Price points are being put into interesting perspective.

    The euro wasps have been bad but I havent heard they affected the harvest.

    My sister grows only Pino and they seem to like it best. She also has some table grapes mixed in and as yet they have not touched them.

    When i was there on Sunday the vines are just a mass of wasps. My brother in law has destroyed 23 nests in their area I have never seen anything like it.

    Hanging rock winery is right next door, they have lost a lot of Pino but only small damage to other varieties.

    It is hard to believe but they suck the juice right out the grape.

    Leaves the empty skins in bunches on the vine.

    Thanks for the news OD will share with the NE vignerons I know.

    There are some winemakers here with close contacts in other areas so it will be an interesting comparison point.

    I hope the little bast ards don't like shiraz!!

    Cold weather today would have done a lot of them in Bbo.

    Cold weather is their Achilles heel.

    These bloody imported wasps! All our best produce goes to the overseas market. The Mad Monk should get on top of it now! It's a disgrace. Pass me another single malt please lass......

    Blddy Euro wasps. I might have to switch over to boutique beers. The Byron Brewery does a nice tasting platter of 6 for $18.

    Hope the German wasps among them don't start going after hops as well.

    They must come from Mediterrean regions them. Likely the Mafia is behind it all.

    Achilles heel? They must be Greek. Never trust the Greeks.

    Sorry Daisy and Biff. Looks like the blue rinse brigade has lost the club to an entirely new demographic. All we can do is sit back and wince or hope that we continue to win and that will scare them off. (For the record, I like Chet Faker's music).

    just temporarily, just long enough to rid the country of hipsters

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
