Hey! Don’t forget when I first joined DL you made me cry by telling me I’m too positive! Does the name “Pollyanna” ring a bell? It should coz that’s what you called me. Now you’ve an issue with me being negative??!!

That's a shame, was hoping you might have had the gift.

Gift? GIFT???? How on earth is wrapping bits of wool around each other with sticks a gift????

LOL I went to a Catholic girls school and they made us learn knitting. Sister Margaret Mary said we’d need to be able to knit our husbands jumpers. I asked her what if we don’t end up with a husband coz maybe we don’t want one. I got detention. True story.

I'm waiting to hear  @Redleg acknowledge my outstanding football judgement for correctly predicting that Max would back up against Norf.

The above mentioned dared to suggest that I had been overindulging in the fruits of the vine. That, of course, is not in itself offensive...... but ...... to suggest that chateau cardboard was my intoxicant of choice is extremely rude!

 

Duly acknowledged and you no doubt will acknowledge my correct statement that the Schach would debut for us Saturday.

If I told you I love ❤️ Malibu the drink, would you hold it against me.

It doesn’t come in cardboard btw.

My guess is both already blue and given long enough needles WSW could make them red.

My God what a disgusting thought! Why am I thinking about bitters balls?

Don’t worry WCW, Rustic Romsey is fast vanishing into the architectural beauty of housing estates and fast food outlets. I suspect Uncles estate is rapidly being surrounded by neighbours who would be unfamiliar with a cheese platter and red wine.

Sadly not the most practical appendages during a Romsey winter dc .

Although it’s a tight fit, I’ve found that one of my MFC long sox keep my package snug and warm. Just a thought for you to consider, Uncle.

Thanks but no thanks Neil.

Due to their prior location I don't envision using your "long sox" for any purpose.

Let's see... is that gouda, a blue, and maybe a cheddar?  Appreciate the unique but delicious inclusion of toasted olive bread on the side!

I notice DP that there is no bottle on the table - more evidence, as we all suspected, that his red comes from a cask?

Ooo very good observation NC...  we all know BBO wouldn't have a singular glass.  I suspect you're right about the hidden cask

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
