    A gentleman never tells Moon.

    But they were advertised as something else.

    A not so wise Asian lady once told me to be careful over there.

    " They'll show you a pig and sell you a dog" 

    I"Ve bought a few of each I suppose so it evens out.

    Had lunch with Biffen today. It's apparently good for the soul to mix with people from the more dubious social strata.

    Anyway Biffen chose the location and again it was a dingy little inn in some god forsaken backwater. Well the food!!

    It came either drowned in tomato sauce or needed to be, to mask the underlying "taste"

    Biffen, to demonstrate the sophistication gained from his recent Asian jaunt, created a scene. He demanded sweet chilli sauce Not only that but it had to be "Kan tong" or some such because that is "orthentic"

    FMD ! How humiliating!

    I thought it was unnecessary giving someone from Romsey a knife and fork but I was proud of the way you muddled through and tied not to make a mess.

    If your hygiene continues to show improvement we may be able to take you somewhere civilised people eat and drink,as long as you promise to keep the food in your area.

    Alrhough most of your lunch ended up in your overalls,you at least managed not to sexually harass the staff.

    I think the Smith Curse is still with us. 

    Has any other club lost their most important player? Does any other club have the injury list we have? We lose a game we dominate with poor kicking while the other side can't miss. Similar the next week where we lose by a couple of points after leading with 2 minutes to go and gifting the last goal. Our players get the heaviest suspensions which cost one or both games lost. Ollie continues to dominate. Our so called stars are not starring. Injured players play against us and dominate. Gus injured again.

    Etc.

    Ok, but I am partial to those brown crackers with the raisins/sultanas. Also no Brazil nuts as not my taste.

    What is this football related rant doing on this thread? Where are the moderators? 

    However it is a fair comment, but my reply is we have reverted to our normal state over the past 20 years. Last year was an anomaly for so few injuries, our norm for as long as I can remember is 10 to 12 on the injury list with 4 or 5 of those being in the best 24. That is our lot I am afraid, unlike the Dorks, the Cats over the past 10 years.

    Sounds a bit like doggies last year.

    They kept plugging away got stronger and found a way to win.

    We had so many good players but they were exhausted in the last, fumbles, lack of run poor decisions.

    some of the poorer performers need to have a good hard look and lift or go back to Casey. Hogan perhaps performs better around the ground where he certainly creates a contest.While he is great one on one he can't match double and triple teams

    Pedo Bugg Trengove all have experience at AFL level and could step in and up.

    i reckon Jack Watts is showing his class, others should lift just through his presence.

    We just have to look really hard at the Dons and beat them next week.

    Well, the Smith curse bit might be right. Joel Smith gets a serious injury 15 minutes into his AFL debut, and Tim Smith gets a bad knee 1.5 matches into his career. All we need now is a banana shortage, and we can conclude we are cursed ... :)

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
