When will we have banana fritters at Wongs?

Still curious about the alleged renovations

Not big on the fried bananas myself.

The renovation just basically opened the place up and gave it light and more access to the passers by.

Not surprising....I think they still use the same chopsticks they had on opening day in 1958

Actually, the place has a new bright look and I think it might be paying dividends for the owners.

I went past yesterday and congratulated Steven on the new look and I'll certainly pop in for a feed one lunchtime in the near future.

But I won't be using the chopsticks because, quite frankly, I'm no good at that sort of thing. I always say that if god meant us to eat with chopsticks then we would all have been born with two long fingers.

Spoon and fork for me.

Just make a time & let's do it. I was there again last week. Wong's Rocks.

This is probably not the thread for it but the Melbourne Victory must be close to the worst run Senior club in Australia ( then again the Melbourne tigers might give them a run ) at present.

They go through coaches like there is no tomorrow.

Sack the coach that has won them 2 flags

His replacment is replaced half way through a season.

The third and current coach has no contract past this year and starts talking about changing players but may not be there for the next season.

They are on their third FD in less than a year.

Perhaps it is not the coaching staff that is the problem

The board it seems to me should resign on mass and give someone else a go as they are obviously not up to the job.

I watched a bit of their game yesterday and I reckon they're tanking.

As long as they don't recruit a kid with wonky knees and a fat father next year, they'll come good very quickly.

I know very little about soccer WJ but they do not appear to have a back line in addition to a hopeless board.

I know less about soccer than you do but their defence looked pretty shoddy. Kevin Muscat was a big loss at the end of last season but he was a bit of a loose screw in the latter stages of his career.

You should all be following Melbourne Heart the new boys. I am not a soccer fan but have seen them play live a couple of times and they have a go. Also my mate is an owner/director and that is another reason I follow them.

I'm thinking of going to at least one of the interstate games this year. Anyone know how far the La Grande apartments on the corner of Mitchell and Knuckey Streets, Darwin is from the Marara Oval?

Marrara would be about 12km or so from the town centre. The ground is on the northern side of the airport (entrance just past the airport terminal entrance). See the map.

There are plenty of buses going to the ground from the city centre on the night. Car parking is easy.

Righto then I would enjoy to share the lunch at Wongs Cafe (404 Glenhuntly Rd Elsternwick) for the controversial Banana Banquet lunch with any fellow Demonlanders before we play the Doggies at the G before round 4..Sunday, April 22nd.....game starts at 4.40pm.

I will be taking full advantage of the low corkage surcharge. They also have dishes without bananas.

If there is some interest let me know, if too many show up unannounced Steven may get rattled...but I doubt it

I don't follow either Redleg, the game frustrates me.

I doubt I will ever get keen about soccer, spent too much of my life on AFL.

Probably my loss not soccers'

The Victory board fasinates me much more than the game.

I am with you O.D. The Melbourne Victory Board are the most incompetent bunch of toothless Clowns i have read about in years...They should be leading the pack by so far it is not funny. Ernie Merrick would be having a top giggle, and good luck to him.

I think I heard he is coaching in HK.

Probably getting paid 5 times as much as he was in Melbourne.

There is one thing the Victory board cannot do.

They cannot change the fact that Ernie won 2 flags.

It will be a very long time before that is equalled.

I suspect long after the current board has been shown the door.

Exactly...i like Ernie...he was straight down the line. Victory have the most members and biggest crowds in a growing league...They should be ashamed at top level..Muscat as a coach....enough said.

Not a bad idea.

Please remind us closer to the time of the game Ravi.

You can be table captain.

We will will have to wait for the Queens Birthday Honours list, we are sure to be there.

A win over the Pies would be a nice bonus before we head to Government House.

Probably a typo Redleg I am sure you meant to type "when we win"

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
