i had a down-sized banana for breakfast, red

thought it only right at my age to contribute something back to the economy

I had a delicious banana daiquiri at El Floridita Hotel today with Ernest. He wasn't there in body but he was in spirit. Plenty of bananas in Cuba and they do taste sweet. I can see a business opportunity here, bananas and guava paste, not sure what we can off load on them in exchange though, perhaps some of our marketing gurus to convince them of their need for some superfluous stuff they haven't got?

    Good to see so many of you treating the banana with the respect it deserves.

    I have just started my annual fitness kick, to get my body in shape for the coming season. It hasn't worked for the last several years, but you can only try.

    The diet will kick in too. I will have my banana smoothies made with skinny milk from now on. May have to give up on the banana splits and sundaes though.

    The Provendor next door makes a delightful mango smoothie. As good as a meal. They do a berry milkshake and will see if they can come up with a Raspberry and Blueberry version.

    Also very sorry to read of Jazza's passing. As a greater observer than contributor I always enjoyed his comments and observations.  Many of his references struck home with me reminding me of glories past chasing the elusive waves down Johanna way and my formative years at the back end of the cow. What a pity he has only seen the beginning of the resurgence. May his memory stimulate us all.

    Go Dees

    Absolutely, I can't think of a more open, transparent or values driven organization that leads by example. The role model sporting organization for the sporting world. Even WADA is now taking note and may even revise protocols to deal with other organizations like the AFL  Gil and his staffers have contributed in such a way that they will never be forgotten. However, their career path may have plateaued!  They may have future careers in the values driven world of sports media.

    Gil might be looking for a job at FIFA.

    If that fails it's Polo-the peoples game.

    No need to go overboard, Redleg. Pre-season training can be brutal enough without extremes like this ... :):lol:

    If anyone has the slightest doubt that the AFL says one thing and do another just read the article in todays Hun.

    The woman who was threatened  claims the AFl tried to down graded what she said.

    At one stsge they said to her this could end his career.

    Then after four hours presented her with a statement to sign that contained changed elements from what she had said.

    She would not agree to the statement.

    Then add the RFC making statements about they are worried about Dustin.

    Deliver us from these hypocrites.

    I never had the doubt OD

    The afl is run by moral bankrupts whose currency is corruption and philosophy is hypocrisy.

    It's a scandal in an of itself.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
