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!

    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.

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

    I think it is time for moderation Biffen. Doctor Hopping Dick is, I believe, an authority on "holding" - I will defer to his decision.

    I reckon the crowd will get halfway through yelling the word "Baaaaaallllll......"  and then go "no, wait, ummm "

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
