Unfortunately Maple I will be away this austere weekend renewing my spiritual roots and restoring my tarnished faith. Bless. Thus, I will leave the beer soaked, politically incorrect abuse throwing at the G to Bitters and Biffen for now. 

You are headed for Jerusalem Moons? The Stations of the Cross next Friday?

    I'd imagine Shiel, Griffen, Ward, Smith, Coniglio if fit, Greene, Kelly, Whitfield, Palmer, Hoskin-Elliott are the main guys. They may throw in a high salaried, ordinary footballer, just to get the Dees fans going, if they have some injuries.

    Now. A polite warning. Skirting with peril Red as we make NO mention of certain ones ;)

    Well good evening one and all. As usual today finds your Uncle Bitter in a positive mood and fine spirits. I hope you all are as satisfied with the world as myself. I had a very uplifting morning at the Romsey Bible reading class ( The Lads booked me in) and I must say I feel cleansed and renewed!

    I must add though, that, as an upright citizen of this fine board, I am surprised that some of my recent well meaning and informative posts have been either deleted or censored!!

    Apparently there are Philistines and vandals among our fair number.

    such desecration of your artistic treasures reminds me of what isis did to palmyra, bbo

    i wonder if you might be able to retrieve them from the way-back machine on the web. they should be preserved for posterity

    on the other hand, they were a bit of tosh if one was sober

    I am afraid that the world is driving me to an existence where one is rarely sober.

    Bitters, the finer styling and intricate musings of your posts are lost upon many in authority on this forum, (perhaps Dr Dick Hopping excluded). You might put yourself forward as a voluntary mod supervisor, another community service to add to your long list.

    Moonie, I assume you are aware of the relationship between the words moderator and moderation.

    I raise this not because of any concern that Uncle Bitters might be considered too immoderate in his many (ahem) tastes and behaviours but for the very opposite reason: to identify the possibility – fear, I suppose – that he might end up abandoning his immoderations altogether.

    Do you really want that sort of future for Demonland?

    Good Doctor I see your point but I think you might be overestimating Bitter's ability to moderate to any real effect. Mostly he'd be correcting poor English and encouraging jolly good floggings. He is never moderate.

    i agree. spare the rod and spoil the brat. bitters is obviously in denial of his immoderations

    I'd say something about BBO never sparing his rod but that pocketbook Freudian, Moonie would take it the wrong way.

    A question of whether I'm overestimating or you're underestimating, Mr Shadow. Of course I'd like to think Uncle Bitters would confine himself to the techniques of correction he's familiar with, but I can't help but worry that one way or another he'll get ahead of himself. Then there'd be two of him, a situation surely to be feared.

    While many appear to be having their bit of fun at their Uncle's expense I have been (fruitlessly) trying to track down Biffen - the most immoderate of all.

    I allowed him to borrow some ..err ..specialist equipment of mine which has not been returned as agreed. He has subsequently boldly informed all that he attended a teenagers birthday party.

    Now put those two facts together and you can see the urgency of my search.

    Please have him contact me immediately.

    BTW. Who is attending on Saturday?

    Why would you do this in the first place?

    You must either be a very, very rich man or you already have a substantial reserve of disinfectant.

    Incorrect Choke! I am simply an overgenerous soul who just goes out of his way to help others out but is often taken advantage of.

    PS. Yes I am very rich but I am quite modest about having a lavish property and driving a simple Merc.

    Thanks Uncle Bitter.

    Your navigation is a wee bit off. You went kind of askew after the Ca. Been enjoying a bit of that hollistic fruit juice again?

    I'll be attending the game. After all it is part of my annual ritual to see how far away I am from the ground before I spot your outlandish attire.

    By the by, what should I be looking out for on Saturday?

    Uncle Bitter, I found a present for you and the lads! It is a 1.2 metre tall inflatable J. Hogan doll. Tried to attach a pic but the file was too big

    Well I don't want to disclose my choice of outfit as there are petty souls out there who will rush of to imitate me.

    However, dare  I ask Mable  Mable ,will you be wearing traditional Cameroonian attire? It is rather fetching I must say!

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
