Could this prove to be a transition as decisive and irreversible as the 'facial hair -> no facial hair' prime ministerial eras?

Nice one, Goffy (Goughy?) Erudite!

Putting aside our clean faced (though gloriously topped!) opener, Edmund Barton, the latter, and still pertinent, era was kicked off by none other than our Stanley Melbourne Bruce.

    Aye, don't you be loosely mentioning the illiterate branch of the clan around here.

    My parents moved to Canberra in the 70s. My dad was a journo. Can you imagine how hard it was to book a taxi for 'Goff' to pick up from Parliament House late at night?

    Tough times, we thought we'd had enough, although we ploughed through the trough until the big fella was given his rough furlough.

    Ugh.

    There's gotta be some sort of prize for that para and 'full stop'! Its certainly a '10' (if I've counted correctly 😉) 👏

    Waddayareckon @Demonstone?

     

    I arrived as the big fella's nemesis was in turn realising primeministership wasn't meant to be easy, then saw out Bob's heady first couple of terms there.

    Having just ready the past 2 pages I can only conclude that Round 0 cannot come soon enough.

    Perhaps you want to re think that!

    What's there to get? BBO is whoreganizing another orgy? Old news. Escargots straight from the field of the Manor would have been much more interesting...You can guess my age: the days of whine, women and song are way past. I'm deaf for a start and a victim of God's even-handed justice. In other words, Muslim men might get down on their knees to praise Allah for not making them a 'woman', but older men - alte kakkers like me - pray every day to maybe be able to pass 'water' straight into its bowl instead of its perimeter just once, for old times' sake...

    Found this hilarious.

    Tom Morris on the Furnace on Channel 9 said he wouldn’t do the Lions Las Vegas trip story as there is no proof it has affected their performance.

    Seriously, when we look back at his reporting.

    The Dees have been copping it in the media for 2.5 years, with no proof anything said has hurt our performances.

    It's because we are the biggest threat in the Afl to other teams.

    We are a force others are scared of.

    Would Eagles hanging on and beating Swans be the biggest upset of the year, including the rest of the season?

    I can relate, but at least with titanium and ceramic I can walk around and stand as tall as I can. Other things. I wish I had a cowboy hat instead of cowboy boots !

    A warning to all of you wonderful people and good friends.

    A disgustingly named thread has been started on DL.

    It names the unnamed villain of this thread.

    Please for your own mental health and well being don’t visit it.

    I am shocked the mods have allowed this offensive thread to be started and continued.

    I think it is particularly scurrilous that they have bypassed the auto-censors by changing one letter to a symbol.

    • 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.

    • 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.
