Interesting article in this morning's Age. 

I am now nominating our own dc to mount a campaign to have Borewood renamed Ballyshannassy.

I'll chip in 20 cents.

*ballyshanassy

thanks, uncle. always knew we could count on your manorial generosity. we want more than just a rename but, we want a un observer recognition acknowledging our unique culture.

did you know that ballyshanassy is a local aboriginal word meaning "meeting place"?

    It is Irish, place of John O’Shanassy who was an Irish born settler and twice Victoria’s premier.

    Thank you for that gem of cultural insight dc.

    And ... speaking of sacred sites. I note that your old hunting ground, the Borewood Tennis Club, is now in Glen Iris!!

    That must cut an old Borewoodian rather painfully .

    Yes, she’s a chicken but no one’s successfully invading my house anytime soon. If a stranger approaches her she lets out an otherworldly scream the likes of which can only be heard during a messy murder. Her name is Rooey and she loves cuddles and having her wattles tickled.

    I think dc's visits to that worthy establishment have a more carnivorous intent Red!

    Think I prefer the scones with cream and jam and a nice hot cup of tea to wash it all down.

    Talking of scones has made me think about biscuits, strange isn't it?

    My favourite biscuit is the Anzac.  Just love them.

    I am sure we will soon here from the tim tam lovers.

    Wonder if Uncle Bitters is an iced vo vo fan.

Why, then, can we not have interviews on TV via satellite WITHOUT that annoying 5-second delay?!?! It’s 2024, not 1954. Surely some boffin or other can figure out a way to do it.

     

    PS: my favourite biscuit is the Tim Tam, but not any old Tim Tam, I love the ‘Chewy Caramel’ variety, in particular.

    When I see the word Mikado I think of Gilbert and Sullivan and of course Japan.

    As the biscuit appears to be called Elite and Chocolate Mikado is the flavour, I wonder what other flavours they come in.

    Silver Sake.  Strawberry Sashimi.  Neapolitan NiNgiri. Tangerine Tempura. Lemon Yellow Yakitori. Raspberry Ramen. Nectarine Nasu Dengaku.  Uncle's Udon.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
