Sorry to interrupt the love fest peeps but is it time to become a Republic based on the coronation celebrations?

Who do you want to dig you out of the snow, a St Bernards or a beagle with ambition?

The political system has thrown up Prime Ministers Morrison, Abbot, Rudd, Turnbull, Keating, etc.   Shrinking violets to the man with hubris unknown.  Be Afwaid be vewy vewy Afwaid — (Elmer Fudd c. 1956)  Any mention of a recent State Premiers will cause this thread to self-combust.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

Not to forget the unbelievable Bertie Beetle show bag, a perennial favourite.

Yes... queue was often immense &/or they were sold out by time you got there.

Seem to recall Bertie being a mostly 'Show' cult fan fav vs outside of there 🤔

They should get rid of picnics, nuts do not belong with chocolate just like pineapple doesn't belong on a pizza.

Pineapple pizza... culinary cardinal sin!

Bit harsh on the choco side though Azz!  

Some choc coated peanuts perhaps?  Sultanas?

Now that i know you're into pineapples, how about my late old man's fav below?  Problem with this one was if you only liked one or two sections the rest usually ended up in the bin.

The chocolate on a violet crumble sticks too firmly to the honeycomb.  The choclate on a crunchie can be nibbled off leaving the honeycomb to be wolfed down.  This is the correct way to eat a crunchie but don't let anyone watch you.  They may come over all unnecessary.

A good contribution to an important discussion.

Yes the Freddo Frog was a bigger seller back then.

While the frog could be plain chocolate or filled with different fillings, Bertie made do with some honeycomb bits in the chocolate.

I'm betting that daisycutter chose his showbags based on which ones contained a phantom comic 

At the risk of changing the topic, I was never into the Phantom, I was a Superman boy.

Can we ever forget the White Knight bar?

I had until now. What about the crazy maze? Or was it Krazy maze, is it still around?

Also haven't seen the pepermint crisp around. My mom used to smash it up and decorate the old Pavlova. 

I also remember the Coleman's chips showbag. Bags were all under a dollar and were good value.

Phantom was frew publishing

Apologies Daisycutter. I had a Phantom book from the early 90s published by DC but it might have been a re-print/re-boot.

Oh no, I love pineapple flavoured lollies and the goo in the snack bar. Strawberry goo in a strawberry Freddo is da bomb!

No I'm not harsh on nuts being in chocolate, it ruins chocolate and should be made illegal with punishment of death.

Serious question guys.

How come everytime I try and load a photo onto a DL post it says too large, when everyone else loads videos, large photos etc.

What am I doing wrong.

Could be that you've ran out of attachment allotment. You only get 39mb (well that's my limit) so you may have to delete some old attachments.

Either that or what you are attaching exceeds the total attachment size of 10mb

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
