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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
