Absolute Shyte day at the club, I have had enough. Can't we talk about bananas for a change? By the way the cluster of banana trees next door to my beach shack down on the Surf Coast is coming along nicely. The old guy owner has no idea who much they are worth. Could be a big harvest coming up. Of course I have offered to manage the whole process for him. I can make better use of the proceeds.

no, not burwood, you are defining dry-wood. and yes if you go due north probably the doncaster

as for west, the Riversdale might be closer than the Tower

Just doing some catching up in a more friendly thread after today's debacle.

Beg to differ on the northern aspect. Rather than the Doncaster, the northern rampart which helps keep out us drunken hoons from Borewood is fronted by The Blackburn, my new local.

After moving from the vicinity of the Knox Tavern beyond the Far East of Borewood, I can say I am happy having moved to the new country of Bok Hill. I recently (4 mths ago?) ventured back to the Burvale for a night with some old friends to watch a pretty good cover band. The only trouble I had was with the hotel staff who insisted on speaking Ingrish and offering to take credit cards, not just 'cash only'.

Sorry your lordship. The word "Box" was replaced by "Bok" in the suburb name after a plebiscite held in the municipality in the last decade of the previous century.

Apparently it reflected the actual pronunciation and indeed favourite vegetable of the population of the day rather than its old wasp-ish heritage.

And the band played some very decent classics from the Angels, Oils, OZ Crawl, Sunny Boys etc.

Sounds like a pincer movement is being set up DC! Don't let the grandmother wave her wand / broomstick / warty nose or whatever and cast a spell over the grandson so that the mother is more favoured than the father.

Geez, that sounds like a line out of the Kung Fu series with Grasshopper as the young David Carradine.

DC not sure I want to know about the monster! Where abouts in BoxHill South is your son? Which street? I remember most of them as I used to sought mail at the Box Hill Post Office pre Christmas when I was very young on school holidays.

This may come as s shock I grew up in that humble working class suburb before I later was informed that I was related to a long lost member of the British aristocracy and became the towering figure I am today.

Earl, have you ever thought about expanding your fruit horizons? Branching out and trying something new? I hear kiwiberries are the new hipster thing. Correct me if I am wrong. Edited by Maple Demon

That's now an archery range.

The ground I used to play on in Ashburton (actually Jordanville Tech) was turned into a housing estate. Those people don't realise what a Field of Dreams they parked their fat arses on.

That would be correct. The Goji berry stand at the Fremantle Markets has been replaced with Kiwiberries.

The guy selling them said he uses the over ripened ones to clean his beard and man bun.

Goji berries are so mainstream.

I did buy a pack, they were ok. I walked past a homeless man and gave him some. He said he would have preferred a cheeseburger.

Funny you should say that. One Saturday evening while rehydrating in the dressing rooms there was a gigantic Melbourne thunderstorm. After about half an hour you could have floated "Proud Mary" on Sparks Reserve. The water was halfway up the goalposts.

Sparks was an integral feature of the stormwater drainage system for that area.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
