I have denigrated this thread a couple of times. It took me a while to get the gist of it. I just thought the contributors were a little off the grid and a tad peculiar. I've just arrived in the midst of banana land and thought I'd put in my two penneth's worth. 

Just a question. Is page 1000 only open to the select few or can any mug have a crack at getting on it. ??

ps Signorellis in Balwyn are unloading ' experienced ' bananas for $ 2 per kilo if you get in quick. ( and they've got some lovely Italians ladies on the till ) 

Pity I did not know that this afternoon PD I was it that area. Oh well I will have to continue with the $5 / kg lot in my area.

    Page 999 - [censored] you Scully I hate you just as much at Hawthorn as I did a GWS. Look forward to booing you this year if your ankle is up to it.

    Max Gawn is one of if not the best players in the league and you are worthless as far as trade value. So glad he spewed on you in China it has improved our culture.

    Settle down folks - it was a simple suggestion.

    And by the way, as a moderator, the page count visible to me also includes deleted posts which means that the thread has officially reached 1,000 pages.

    Congratulations go to Mr. Leg who tells me that he initiated this thread as a humanitarian gesture to save the western suburbs of Sydney from Chico Rolls, dim sims, potato cakes, French Fries and flavoured malted milk shakes (other than banana flavour).

    And then give one to Ernie!

    You missed the irony in my original post.

    Just a little entertaining social experiment with an outcome that was totally predictable. 

    How whacky off-beat posters suddenly become establishment conservative and resistant to change. 

    So defensive!

    Look at the Greens now. Just middle class establishment and not a radical or fresh idea in their kitbag. 

    Bananas and a patronising deviant becomes the new normal. Even Rakeleg is sounding so establishment. And Daisy what has become of you ? 

    How many posters post or visit this thread. A dwindling number I suspect because it offers nothing new or interesting. So it has become the repository of the few whose habit has become a life sentence.  

    Just a mundane example of what happens when you challenge the status quo. 

    We need new posters and new thoughts otherwise this thread will die an ignominious death. 

    Some may predecease this thread.

    Don’t get me wrong I love the loyalty of Old Dee and even Old Bitters whose spunk is clearly waining but who reluctantly posts to maintain relevance. Rakeleg invented the thread and regards it as some authorative source or text like Mabo. 

    Others drop in for a titillating massage but are eventually disappointed with the unsatisfactory ending. 

    All things must end like life and civilisation. 

    There is a higher authority in things, in this case WJ. 

    Gentlefolk, we cannot control much in this life, in fact we cannot control anything. 

    Things must change, things do change. 

    Very soon your mortal bodies will be dust and this thread forgotten in the mist of time. We will not be remembered or our posts. 

    So submit yourselves to the end. 

    Celebrate change, new life and new beginnings just as you will do in your next life.

    The big question is where is Mr. Leg at what should be his moment of triumph?

    My information is that he has, as Ernest implied, hit the wall and fled the jurisdiction; that he is on a vessel travelling the high seas with a rod in his hand in true Hemingway fashion. I can picture Ernie's next novel on the bookshelves at my local bookstore - "The Old Man and The Sea - Part 2".

    No Old I quit rum and other hard licquor many years ago. How do you think that I reached such an old and venerable age. Despite Uncles comments I am fit in both spirit and body. 

    Your earnest fightback Old is admirable. Enough to keep the thread going for a little longer. I am prepared to concede defeat. My only problem is that it allows Uncle to ventilate his deviant thoughts and fantasies. 

    Do you think you could moderate your banana boasting comments?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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.

    • 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?
