it was probably a grammar mistake (spl) or toned down a tad :o

Shouldn't it be spelt d-d-d-d-dick? :blink::)

Can someone explain the article in today's Age that rated the liveability of all Melbourne's suburbs? If you can please explain to me how Borewood comes in at 80 out of 321 and ahead of Fitzroy at 82? Good heavens I mean the two suburbs are like chalk and cheese. And then the suburb of my birth Box Hill South comes in at 83! So with all I have achieved in my life I have moved one rung up the liveability scale or 0.003% improvement in 30 years! Don't say a word of this to DC.

Yes, clearly the first thing up against the wall when the revolution comes is a few uppity suburbs whose reputation has long exceeded their true worth. Throw in a few footy clubs in some of those suburbs (Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon) and now you are talking ... :):lol:

Borewood cannot be ranked above Old Fitzroy unless there are bonus points for sterility and lifelessness.

I wonder how Tittybong ranks with Stuttering Dicks Creek

Or if Shiitterton in the UK is Better then the town of Hole?

A ridiculous article that lacks any credibility whatsoever. I glanced at it expecting to see Romsey firmly entrenched at number1 but to my and the lads chagrin, Romsey was not mentioned. The lads were so outraged they damaged their computer and have cancelled their subscription to that vile newspaper.

i drove through fitzroy yesterday on the way to north carlton

i wish i hadn't

You should have continued dc, and meandered in a roughly NW direction, until you reached sunny shores of Romsey. The inadequacies of Borewood would have been immediately apparent.

The South of France was not rated anywhere near North Carlton but I imagine it has some other benefits.

I trust his pension will be spent on wine,great food and immoral women.

and the rest squandered.

That is such a sensible comment it doesn't even need to be accompanied by a phalanx of emojis.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
