I have several worn pairs, the downside (or possibly upside for you BBO) is they each potentially have urine, blood and arabic sand in and on them. If you purchase today I can also throw in some socks, do you have fabric softener? 

I always knew you were a decent chap Ethan. Rather than being tawdry and mentioning cash I propose an exchange. I have some wonderfully stained undergarments that may be to your taste and would more than compensate for the loss of the brothel creepers.

    In order to allay any concerns you have Doctor, feel free to scrutinise my undergarments for authenticity.

    Are you saying that you are unhappy with products you have purchased from our Uncle Bitter?

    The original Brothel creepers are still produced by Rossiters.

    Most reputable footwear retailers will stock them or be able to source them for you.

    At the risk of being embroiled in "questionable business practices"

    I have size 5 and 6 in black @ $147.00 and a range of Slatters Ripples in Stone (a light beige) @$99

    but would require a fitting at the shop in Beechworth.

    If you wanted to expand your wine tasting experiences and retreat to Beechworth would be happy to meet.

    We are remote enough from Melbourne that the bitter sting of defeat by Essendon can be diluted.

    As long as they would fit a male with waist size of around 34, you have a deal.

    After that effort on Saturday, perhaps discussion on under garments and desert boots will put my mind at rest.

    I wore desert boots to school back in the time. Comfortable and they were pretty handy kicking the footy after being worn in.

    Well I was in these in the early 90s with mullet in tow, unfortunately the mullet came back into fashion for a time but the ripples never did.

    Just visited those purveyors of fine apparel, Messrs Harris & Scarfe. They were offering "Hush Puppies" for around $90.00 which they informed me were reduced from $150.00 -FMD!!!  I am out of touch with the world, I need to get off the estate more often.

    BTW Ethan, dc has a trophy collection of used underwear that also may interest you.

    BTW 2. Any chance of desert boots in the Philippines SWWL? When are you taking off?

    BTW 3. Those things that my old mate Stu featured above were generically called "Ripple Soles". I reckon I had a pair once but well before the 90's.

    They were big in Adelaide in the 90s (as were and still are the mullet), where I went to school with Simon Goodwin (albeit a couple of years below).

    Services rather than products, Mable, but let's not go into too much detail.

    After reading on here about his love of 'jolly good floggings', I think that is a very good idea.

    bitters, if you are going the full monty i might have a vintage norwellan bluey duffle coat (complete with wooden toggles) somewhere in the attic. be excellent for rounding up those long-necked sheep of yours on a bracing winter's day at romsey manor . an absolute necessity for wearing with desert boots.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
