Yeah , a long proud history. Fascinating engraving really. The long goal posts without the behind posts, The stand with the colosseum look (super boxes ?), the scaffolding for the lights (is there a bloke up there?) and the old picket fence in the background. Obviously night footy didn't take on as we waited a while for the next installment!

    I was just thinking, how unappetizing do banana fritters look?

    Just imagine, OUR GREAT CLUB had already been in existence for 21 years when that pic was taken. In fact, our club was established 33 years before the Federation of Australia. Not even old dee and me go back that far, but some times it feels like it!

    Edit: spelling

    Just home from a knee operation mate and at the moment I do feel that old.

    No doubt I will bounce back.

    Have a great Christmas lets hope 2012 is an improvement.

    Go Dees

    Hopefully the knee comes good and you are out bouncing on the trampoline within a week, and if it takes a bit longer than that, you can always content yourself with jumping out of your skin at the Dees prospects for 2012. Seasons greetings to all Demonlanders. Our patience will soon be rewarded!

    Listening to "Over You" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Can't believe he disappeared for about 35 years. One of the best pop voices of all time.

    What was the controversy?

  • Quote

    The lyrics to "Young Girl" raised a bit of a ruckus if my memory serves - from Wikipedia:

    "Controversial at the time and later for its risque lyrical references to underage romance. Allmusic labeled the groups lyrics "bizarrely pedophilic."

    Wong's Chinese Cafe in Glenhuntly Road Elsternwick has been renovated!

    Opened in 1959 it was the same until october...I had lunch in there today.

    The Food is still the same....but it did feel a little weird sitting in the "New Room"!

    WYL - I go there sometimes too.

    Occasionally, I lunch with some other avid Demon fans as well.

    Perhaps we might catch up there some time.

    Do it on the Queens Birthday weekend and I would be happy to turn up... I used to live not too far away from there in Field Street (just off Alma Rd near the corner of Glenhuntly Rd).

    Could well be on holidays in Asia next June. Melbourne winter is just too cold!! I was thinking more over summer before the season starts...But i am sure we could work out some annual events at Wong's!

    Wongs was a family favorite for many years, I can't fathom that it would ever change!

    My mum always loved the banana fritters there, even though they did look a little turdlike.

    Anyway, I want to wish all of you all the best for the festive season, it has been a tough year footy wise but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel at last!

    I think I'll spend next week at the G with the swarmi army, I can't get enough of the place

    Cheers to all

    HaHaHa...The Menu is still the same, don't worry..and i am sure the Fritters are prepared in exactly the same way!!

    The long soup with the flat noodles is a special.

    If this keeps up I'm going to claim some advertising from Steven the proprietor.

    I have some good stories about the place when I think it was his mother in later years who served and was sometimes a bit forgetful.

    Steven (Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou) Top Guy...We would test Mrs. Wong on her Menu Memory when a group of us ABC persons would take over the Lazy Susan table quite often on a friday afternoon in the 80's...great days.

    Steven is so polite and calm, I often wondered if he could have a dark side....maybe I have seen too much Dexter

    Ah yes, forgot about that. Of course he didn't write the song , their producer Jim Fuller did.

    We could all meet there before the first NAB cup game.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
