All that medical stuff above is appropriate. I'm still sans desert boots and the old in between toes fungal infection is playing up again. FMD, I try to lead a moral life but circumstances ... and events ... continually conspire to [censored] me up.

And .. as if matters could get worse my GP is pressuring me to undergo a rather ... err ..invasive shall we say test ...

FMD - It's enough to drive me to drink.

Uncle Bitters I have the solution at hand! Please follow!

Quarter of Vinegar!

Some Lectric Soda crystals

Some free range Salt (the ordinary kind)

Some dettol!

And no you dont drink it! And no you dont administer to the ah "Nether Regions" Just soak ya feet in it for a 10 minutes or so dry em of and go again several times a day!

Sheeeeit you will know your alive but if you are game please try and get back to me with results!!

You better get Earl's expert comments on that one.

Yes Emerald I have seen people playing footy in Ugg boots. I don't recommend it myself.

I played a few invitation games for the Fitzroy Hipsters some years ago and had this fullback, from the Carlton Barrista's line up on me wearing Ugg boots, not a good look and not very practical, especially after I did the old foot stomp as we lined up. Got my usual bag as I remember it.

No need to mention a business transaction over the internet Earl.

We will discuss it later.

They also pay frees for man bagging in that comp.

I hear they have vege burgers and cider after the game because beer and a pie is too mainstream.

I wonder how they interpret "holding the man" ?

"holding the manhood" has a lot to commend it.

We must defer to your experience on this issue.

May be a witness as I saw a crime today. I witnessed the stealing of an AFL game, by 3 morons in green. A definite theft.

Now now Biff let us be quite clear when I mention a bag I mean 5 goals or more. The NML that I played for has never had veggie burgers or cider after the game that I remember. More like a fine wine selection at the end of the day with a cheese platter but the double espressos at three quarter time always helped our last quarter efforts, a la West Coast circa 2006. And the rules are the same, there is no in the bun rule by the way.

The Northern Metrosexual League unforturtunately expanded in later years to bring in sides like the Flowerdale lumberjacks and the Whittlesea Bogans, that was too much for me, lining up on guys wearing gumboots and cotton fleece shirts was no challenge given my speed and agility in those days, to say nothing about my superior vocabulary and oratory skills in the sledging duals. There was simply no more challenges for me. 

 I was an early example of the entertaining "Gun for Hire" full forward hired to bring in a local crowd for a local club long before Fev started doing it. 

Happy to to be a low profile trail blazer in this area, as Kevin Rudd might say.

One of those morons needs to use a tape measure too. A 15m tape measure. The moron has no idea how far 15m is.

Probably the same moron that does not know how to pay a mark too.

Now now Mr Leg if we had a modest first quarter we would have won the game.

Oh come on OD, we were robbed plain and simple and every Dees fan I have spoken to since sees it exactly the same way. Even my common sense son says it was a disgraceful effort by the umpires who robbed us of the game. There were so many poor decisions and 7 goals given to North, that our mistakes pale into comparison.

Marks not paid, 25 metre kicks judged not 15, deliberate out of bounds one way, ducking and diving frees to Thomas and Waite, 3 throwing the balls by North that ended in goals to them, a ruck infringement against Gawn, who was in front of Goldstein and pushed in the back by Goldstein, resulting in a diabolical free and goal, which the commentators said was just terrible, Thomas jumping into Stretch to stop that final mark, the scragging of our forwards, soft 50's resulting in goals, need I go on?

Fans never see the ones that go the other way.

Simple fact is we  lost because we kicked one goal less than North.

What's done is done. I entirely agree with all of Redleg's examples. And even if you reverse 25% of these points old dee, I'm almost certain the result would be different. 

That said, the team made some poor choices during the game and poor execution which also contributed. Just one massive frustration.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
