Aha, I knew I should read books instead of comics.

Argh yes Red, the joy and inspiration of reading.

I often wonder where I would be without the wise counsel provided by the Marquis.

    Prodee is MIA as well. However, Uncle Bitter is back from his 50 lashes and 14 day solitary confinement.

    I must say Moon that my time in rehab was less arduous than usual. I believe the staff were still soiled and attempting to recover from attending to Biffen during his recent stay. There was ,however, much wailing and cries of despair from a highly secure corner of that sad establishment.

    Discreet enquiries suggest that a certain Doctor, well known in these parts, was refining his electroconvulsive therapies on some poor wretch's  soul. One can only speculate that the answer to Deeluded's mysterious disappearance may lie within that evil laboratory.

    Bent but Optimistic, you can avoid reading altogether by dipping into the Kama Sutra if you are looking for imaginative poses and still find comfort in knowing that you are looking at a classic piece of Hindu literature that preaches pleasure and spirituality. You seem to have a lot of the former but need a dose of the latter. Or in other words, you have Kama (Desire) but desperately need Moksha (Liberation), Your days are running out.

    Good heavens (or should that be good nirvanas) Ernie! I cast off the restraints of the Kama Sutra years ago.

    I have much improved restraints nowadays.

    Literary reference: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. 

    Here's hoping that this season is more like The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ?

    That would be most unfortunate for D-L.

    Though I must say, in his absence I have enjoyed not having my screen display run out of RED and Blue ink for a while.

    How about The day of the Knee Trembler ?

    That is better than The Day of the Triffids I guess ...

    But back to CS Lewis, who fell just 10 months short of being on this earth for all 12 of our premierships and seems to have been, from afar, a Fuchsias/Demons fan: his writings foreshadowed what it would, but now might soon, be like for Demons fans for the 60-odd years after his death...'A Grief Observed', 'The Problem of Pain', 'Surprised by Joy', 'Miracles' and, finally, 'The Business of Heaven'.

    Why'd you get shafted for two weeks?

    I wondered why there is still a high pitched ring in my ear.

    Dee luded was unable to speak any comprehendable sentences although he did mutter something although this was no surprise.

    The Dr was reciting Kant,Hume and Rousseau when I left and I believe he is as usual dabbling in Alchemy.

    I wonder if Prodee is enjoying the therapeutic effects of our little DL Rehab?

    Mr Leg you keeping making these comments.

    I am worrying about you.

    Is this the beginning of the end?

    Are we seeing one of the truly great supporters of the last half century wavering?

    No, I am just struggling to enthuse about 2 late picks, as our only draft booty from 2016.

    Pah to CS Lewis!!

    Obvious Christian proselytising via heavy handed allegory and a bunch of snot nosed pommy kids.

    Old Enid's snot noses were far better.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
