    I spent two years between the ages of 2 and 4 at Elmore where the family had a textile farm so it's the place of my earliest memories. The bridge over the railway station and picnics by the river.

    How does it look these days?

    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.

    Could happen to anyone really.

    Dry, lifeless,flat and uninspiring WJ.

    I was there on a field day trip recently.

    The river is quite pretty, as is the pub.

    I used to go through Elmore quite a lot (on the way to see family in Deniliquin). I remember it as the place where the road from Heathcote bends around a bit to join the road between Bendigo and Echuca. I happened to drive through there the day before Black Saturday, but I haven't been up that way much since then.

    So you were the fire bug!

    Only time I have ever heard "Elmore" and "busy' referred to together :-) It is a nice spot, though.

    Fruit salad without bananas is just sliced apple and a few mates ...

    No bridge at the station but a miniature railway nearby :)

    As past resident of Coffs Harbour let me put it on record that this threads support of the banana industry is laudable. However what is in a fruit salad that has no banana? Surely it should be called a Shepparton Surprise!

    I'm guessing you made a small typo, so let me say on behalf of posters in this thread that we are honoured to have the past President of Coffs Harbour in our midst. Welcome Your Excellency! I guess that makes you Top Banana.

    That would, of course, be a banana republic ... :-)

    Before I moved to Coffs Harbour a friend told me about a very attractive young lady working at a real estate office near where he worked. I rang her, said I was from Melbourne and asked the price for a kg of bananas. I rang once a week for about five weeks asking what the current price was per kg and how quickly were bananas selling each week. She humored me and the calls became longer and we started to discuss other things but never about myself or my intention to move to Coffs. When I finally moved to Coffs Harbour I walked in to the real estate office and she was more beautiful than I could believe, I asked her about bananas and she cracked up, we went out for dinner .......... The second chapter is available on request. Pay Pal accepted.

    As for my presidency that is another story.

    The next thing you will be saying is the MFC will win the flag next year.

    Come to think of it that has a lot better chance.

    I handle complaints on the 29th Feb every year except when I take a break for the Olympics.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
