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

    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.

    • 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
