So who is going to the game this weekend (you know, that thing we do when we are not obsessing about bananas ... ??)

I am not mate have not seen you for sometime.

I am in the kill zone not attending major public gatherings until vaccinated which with the current rapid rate is probably July.

    All good OD. I sort of lost interest in following the Dees last year, and have only had my enthusiasm renewed by the new season and the prospect of witnessing a game in person (and the first one at the 'G, and on a Saturday afternoon, which is like a siren call to me).

    I understand the desire to stay safe at home and out of the way of the Virus-that-shall-not-be-named. That bloody thing is more infectious than the Dee's inability to kick straight ...

    First game at the G since Queens birthday 2019. I was so demoralised with our season I didn’t go to another game after that.

    Looking forward to spending a Saturday afternoon in the G, sun shining, enjoying a few beers and hopefully a Dees win. It’s been too long.

    Hopefully we can start the season with a win. Don’t want to be dropping a game at home, first up, against a middle of the ladder side the year before. Need those 4 points.

    Ratcheting it up for what is the first game of the season. Wrong psychology Red. You should be saying it’s ok to drop the first game, let’s wait until mid season.  Freo is a good side that is likely to turn it on with speed and overlap. We can’t expect to win the first game. It’s a long season and we take each game and remain detached until the season gets serious. 

    Meditate Red.

    No doubt that will be good for you but to be brutally  honest it won’t make a fig of difference to the result.

    Not at all as I said will be good for you but as your long experience has shown the Dees will do there normal thing.

    If we have come to meditating in the hope that it will affect the result then all is lost Ernest.

    Unripe bananas can give you constipation. It’s a well known fact.

    I do not know the (somewhat strange) references to and history of bananas on this site, but I've just come across this (for me at least) interesting fact about bananas:

    Bananas are both a fruit and not a fruit. While the banana plant is colloquially called a banana tree, it's actually an herb distantly related to ginger, since the plant has a succulent tree stem, instead of a wood one. The yellow thing you peel and eat is, in fact, a fruit because it contains the seeds of the plant.

    There should only be a one round season in 2021. That way we can play in the finals again!

    Blair Campbell, who enjoyed a brief spell with us in the late sixties (before my time) was credited with inventing the banana-kick.

    Not a renowned exponent of the fine art Ed Langdon executed his banana-kick perfectly on the weekend. Struggling to think of other examples in recent times of other Dees players doing the same.

    Yes and he did it on the run which is not easy. 
    the Wiz and Yze could execute the banana quite well.

    True but its been a while since the Wix and Yze ran around for us. I guess it demonstrates the paucity of talent we've had in recent times.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
