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: 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.

    • 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.
