    I saw Meggs’ thread titled “Buzzing” and thought the missing thread had just been re-named. 😁

    What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

    Well done..lol..  yeah.   The 'cue' wasnt that obvious...unless you knew what to look for....and when you did it was easy peasy.

    Someone mentioned using deposits off the coke bottles....yeah...whole other story there lol...  Looking back I was quite the ratbag delinquent. 

    Twas I. A voracious collector of empty coke bottles, Leeds , Fanta and a few others. Lived in St Kilda East amongst a lot of flats . High density area and great pickings. Made more with bottles than my morning paper round. I hated that round especially on Saturday with the bloody Age. 5 bucks a week and usually had to pay for damaged flower pots. Doh. And it was so cold and dark at 5.30 am. The alarm sent shivers down my spine. As mentioned I got lazy returning the bottles and stacked them around the side of our Westbury grove house. When they went from 10 cents to 20 it was like winning Powerball. Apologies to the owner of the Newsagency for not turning my colleagues in for all the smokes they pinched.

    Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.

    Tough times ahead and wish you all the best.

    Speaking of Mick Jagger, anyone who says Paul MacCartney can still sing is only looking not listening.

    His Adelaide shows are on you tube and he has lost his great voice, which is natural in your 80’s.  

    Think he should have called it a day. He doesn’t need the money and better to remember stars at their best.

    So they were the ones behind the mystery thread culling.

    Just another example of driving two once thriving threads into the ground in their relentless pursuit of productivity & profits.

    Bloody corporates!

    Nice words re Monbon. Ditto.

    As for singers, I saw a combined Simple minds, Devo and the church concert ten years ago.

    Jim Kerr really struggled with volume and hitting the same notes. Devo were still very good. A much underated band.

    Obviously Devo can still whip it together.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
