Moonie, you just beat me. You are 100% right.

PD think about it. He can't be right because without women there would have been no Greeks and for that matter no Romans or Italians to introduce women to the concept of you know what.

    Romsey is the place Ernie. I care for myself and exploit the community as much as possible.

    i am glad you have contentment at Romsey Uncle but how do the local community feel? Although I suppose your needs are very specific and the local yokels are quite suitable. My guess is that it's very much a case of Stockholm Syndrome.   I think Snowtown also sounds quite pleasant. Or even Wantirna!

    Can it be a coincidence that if you take 'sy' out of Romsey you get 'Rome'?

    I think the difference may be that Rome is the home of classical antiquity and as all Demon fans would know is actually called Roma in Latin.  Suspect that Romsey will never be known as the eternal city or be regarded as one of the birthplaces of Western civilisation, let alone attract tourists other than poor unfortunates that find themselves off the beaten track by listening to Siri. God help them if they find a hand painted sign post to Romsey manor.  They will find a bed but not one for rest.  Having said that I had forgotten that The Vatican City is also located in Roma and currently is the residence of Georgie Porgy Pell. By comparison Uncle and Romsey Manor may be a better place for an overnight stay.

    Ernest, you are letting the side down, mate. Surely Greece is the home of classical antiquity! The Romans certainly had the world domination part down pat, having learned from the downfall of Alexander the Wog, and were handy at engineering, all things military, and building arches on every second corner. But when it comes to counting or calendars or democracy, I am sorry, but they suck.

    Perhaps the Vatican in the time  of the Borgias might be more in keeping ... :)

    Rome, of course, was named after Romulus. If it had been named after Remus, it would have been called Reme.

    I was of course thinking of Democracy.

    So why wasn't Rome called Romule?

    You've got me on that one Red. 

    Dont forget, " Be it ever so humble, there's no place like Rome."  Or should that be     Romsey ?

    Good thing Rumpelstiltzkin wasn't around then.

    it's even simpler and weirder, r&b. change the 'm' to 'o' and you get 'Roosey'  :o

    In reference to Greek inventiveness.

    Immediately people jumped to other less noble Hellenic traditions.

    but what could be more perfect than Democracy?

    It is a little more disturbing to think that changing the second 'o' in 'Roosey' gets to 'Romsey' :)

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
