    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
