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 !!

Ok that probably accounts for why I was not certain. Thanks 640md.

Is it greater than, or more like that concentrated chemical dust left over in the bottom of a beaker when a science experiment is allowed to boil away completely?

5mg of concentrated MFCSS, enough to destroy worlds.

An absolute cynic DV8 but to be honest I am not sure that the MFC is the major cause of it.

I am sure the largest part is due to the ageing process. When you get to your later years and you see that the things you have railed against all your life have not changed and  mostly got worse what is left but cynicism?

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.

Think I recall a very good ‘down memory lane’ type of article about that park by @Whispering_Jack.  Worth a read. It must still be on the site somewhere.

Yep I know  'OD'......   the things I was so proud of in this Nation,  are being trashed and cheapened,  on a daily basis. 

It is very disheartening. to witness it.

It's alright, you haven't quite boiled away completely yet!

while not quite on the subject of bananas I thought some here may find this news report of some interest.

What is interesting beyond the subject matter is the method of reporting.

I have been there mentally since the end of April DF.

We can consign 2019 to the MFC bin of regularity.

Joke is we could have a full list to choose from late in the season, when we have no chance to make finals.
