    I remember on a Shaun Micallef show years ago how whenever the name Barnaby Joyce was mentioned, it was immediately followed by three women dressed up like the Andrews sisters singing "Is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?". Very clever I thought, but I guess you had to be there (and if you know who the Andrews sisters were, welcome to the Old Farts Club:):o )

    BANANA ALERT

    There is a serious cyclone forming off the Nth. QLD coast which could do serious damage to the banana crop.

    This may be the worst problem of 2016.

    Will it roar ashore and devastate the noble fruit?

    Oh please no

    I think I will go back to bed!

    Rest assured, Mr Old, the Tweed Valley banana farmers will quickly fill any gaps in the market ... at the usual inflated prices of course.

    Gee interesting chart there DC. I am amazed that there were only 139 bananas produced in 2012 and only 18 bananas exported in 2011, hardly seems it would be worth it. I mean I eat that many myself in a year so thank heavens we produce heaps of our own here in Oz.

    18 bananas a year wouldn't keep Redleg in smoothies, or OD's granddaughter in banana splits ... :)

    Well, a banana bender has to bend the bananas. That's his purpose in life. The question is whether the bending changes the taste and culinary performance of said bananas. If there's no impact, bring Bananaby on!

    Good to see a full page spread in today's Age (page 31) on your good self DC, the Ghost Who Walks. What I didn't know and you have kept to yourself, such is your modesty, is that you carried out a special assignment for Prime Minister Hawke back in 1992! What was that secret assignment, to take out Keating?

    sorry earl, but if i told you i'd have to kill you. i'm sure your good understanding of er such delicate matters will explain my reluctance

    and as you know i naturally shun any publicity for my good deeds, unlike a certain shane .....

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
