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.

    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.

    • 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.
