There's brown bananas, and there's brown bananas, but then there's the ones that have rotted on the inside first.

And the Hawthorn club colours too.

    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.

    ‘Tis still around, Deeves. It’s just had a name-change. It’s called a curly wurly now and has been so for many years.

    Peppermint crisps are also still around, as are a personal favourite of mine, Peppermint Patties. Chocolate and mint = a marriage made in heaven. And not a marriage that only lasts a few years as is the norm nowadays, but a marriage like that of one’s grandparents: ‘til death do they part.

    Your right. I had a curly wurly about a year ago. I do remember the pepermint patties as well. ( green wrap) I think it was the sister treat to the old coconut roughs.

    We're probably showing our age with these posts but what a treat to go to the " milk bar" and buy a 10 cents bag of mixed lollies. Sherbet bombs, musk sticks, false teeth, mates, jaffas, freckles, milk bottles,  ( yuk) and even the odd fan tale thrown in.

    I found the peppermint patties very ordinary, sort of soggy, but the peppermint crisp is a beauty.

    I also remember the good old days of collecting bottles to return to the milk bar. Coke, Leeds and Fanta. I lived in St Kilda and there were lots to get. I stacked all my bottles down the side of the house waiting until I had achieved a certain fiscal outcome.

    Then one day the price of return went from 10 to 20 cents overnight.

    My portfolio had doubled in a heartbeat.  Oh happy days.

    Yea but price wise they were good value. The kind of item when you didn't have enough funds to buy a fully fledged chocolate bar.

    Are you two hearing yourselves?! Clearly not. The Peppermint Patty is the best chocolate treat ever. EVER. “Fully-fledged chocolate bar” Deeves? Really?!?! Anyone with half a brain knows that you never have just one. Minimum three, for mine. And Red, “soggy”???? I prefer “spongey” which is the texture that makes it unique.

    What????? What is wrong with you?! Milk bottles (closely followed by *teeth) are the best lollies of all. My biggest complaint about mixed lollies is that there’s never enough of them. Jelly babies overload. 😠 

    * you don’t need to call them “false teeth.” No one is expecting to find real ones in the packet.

    What were the flat white ones , the size of a 2 cent coin with a swirl on them?( tasted like milky bars).

    Why would anyone want to eat a “spongy “ chocolate bar?

    Unless of course you are 🦷 toothless.

    Can you imagine 2 teams playing the last round to decide who gets Harley Reid?

    Half of each side, if not more, would be managed.

    Would be a great game to watch to see who can play worse.

    What would be required for a “tanking investigation “ I wonder, or is that just another negative from the AFL reserved for us?

    Certainly do.

    Whitnall missed about 5 gimme goals and Travis Johnson was left alone to pick up 150 uncontested possessions in addition to several good players being “managed “.

    Not toothless, just love a spongey chocolate-coated treat, which is great in case I ever do end up toothless.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
