There is no such thing as a bad win, especially over the Hawks!

Didn't say it was a bad win, I said it was awful footy.

True, but given the amount of awful footy that I have witnessed, it is always better to win with awful footy than to be beaten by less than a kick having played great footy. Anyway, back to bananas ...

I am astounded that no one on this great thread noticed that May 1st was National Banana Day.

An absolute disgrace!

Isn't every day Banana Day?

Is there some great historical achievement that the day celebrates?  Was it the crowning of King Banana of the Banana Republic perhaps?

Or maybe was it the birthday of the Top Banana?

Were the bells peeling across the suburbs?  Did the loyal fans go on a bender?

So many questions with possibly fruitful answers.

Why yes... Of course.

 

The Big Banana... the Head Honcho's of the bigger Publicly listed companies.

There's you King Banana's... right there.

 

... let me fathom up an image of a King Banana for ya.

Thank you OD for that ripe old suggestion, but I’m a bit too bent for public office.

Shouldn't be too hard to get another win tonight. Playing at home with a full strength side. Oh, sorry, that is the opposition.

With the dees returning to the winning ways of 2013/4 I have this year rekindled my interest in the Uni Blacks in the Amos and Casey after forsacking the Amos last year.

Went to windy hill last weekend and Uni Blacks game against Old Haileyburians at Princes park Caulfield today. Bounded by Bamba Rd and Dover street.

Is this the ground that the old Caulfield Bears played at in the VFA days. I played a couple of practice matches for my country team back in the early 70's against Caulfield bears . Seemed to be the right place but 47 years ago is a long stretch for my memory these days. 

Any one have any idea? 

Almost forgot we won easily. Sure beats watch the easy beats.

Come on OD the easy beats is your favourite band. You may pretend to hate them, but you keep coming back to watch them time after time.

Yes this the old Bears ground but it was not right on Dover street but a hundred metres or so to the north  Used to have a very old stand and the "cave" for drinks after,    as I remember !!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
