    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
