Yes this is a part of the season we can be involved in, the off season, as we don't ever seem to be involved in that part that has the finals.

Well tomorrow morning is day 1 of the best time of the year for a Dees supporter.

The pre season is upon us.

What champions will we trade in?

What Future GF winning Champions will we draft in?

Who will be our major sponsor for 2016?

Will the members be our big problem again in 2016?

These and other intriguing questions will be answered over the next 10 weeks.

God I am excited!

Wow OD. You are going off the scale! New blood pressure medication working I hope??

But I'm with you on this being the best time of year for us for over a decade now.

Take care and don't take too many of those little blue pills at once. Think of Mrs OD (hope that's an OK subject) - she might want the 'off' season to be 'on' for quite a while yet.

That's how it was first developed DC - as a treatment for hypertension. But a notable 'side effect' in the initial trials led to it being investigated for erecrile dysfunction. From then on it rocketed away, so to speak.

Well here we are girls and boys welcome to the bright MFC future!

bjDee Mrs OD is fine do not concern yourself although she does barrack for the Pies.

Burn was started mid last week. Ref: ABC reporter that lives in the area.

You are both wrong. BBO was spit roasting one of the lads yesterday and things got out of control. In his drunken Shiraz stupor he forgot to slaughter the poor beast before shoving the rotisserie up its clacker and throwing it on the roaring fire. Of course, the beast panicked and ran off into the local forest with its coat ablaze. The rest, as they say, is history.

Sounds more plausible to me than this fuel reduction burn gone wrong story.

Headline from tomorrow's Romsey Reporter:

"Alpaca's clacker cracker sees local bush wackers knackered".

I wonder if one of the lads has been named Petracca? That would work nicely.

odd spot

just listening on radio to a report on the state of the bushfires. reporter name was alicia burns.

Is Amy Parks still reporting?

Posted (edited)

burn back was started on sunday. ref ch9 news and interview with officials

Typical media, half lies half made up on the spot.

Peter Rau, State response controller

She said she was "angry" it escaped the controlled burn-off.

"Very angry, yes. Very angry. It's been going since Wednesday or Thursday last week, it took off on Saturday again.

"[The] CFA had to come and put it out and this [Tuesday] morning it just flared up again...it was just too late. And the wind was just horrendous."

True Red. Only problem I see with such a cunning plan is that the ones with poor disposal usually have good work ethic, and the ones (one?) with bad work ethic have good disposal.

We might need to watch a few more episodes of Blackadder to come up with a more cunning plan. Something that "Is as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning".

So cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
