Geez Hardtack ,I never picked you for an old fella.

I've been to Nam twice as a tourist and I would never have survived the mozzies .

My wife is from Tay Ninh and her dad was "re-educated" for 3 years when the South lost .

Lovely people but the ice in the beer is really a post war crime.

Is that because the ice sucks or because it's a crime to put any ice in beer whatsoever.

    The ice should be placed AROUND the beer to cool it before the bottle is opened.

    I have tried to explain this to the people of Vietnam but they will not accept my imperialist attitude.

    Either that or they cannot wait required half hour for the bottles to cool down.

    The ice itself is fine,the beer tolerable. Helps wash down the bbq rats marinated in chilli and lemongrass.

    I was called up in 1972...on my birthday no less! I was deferred because I was studying at Swinburne and then Gough got voted in later that year and National Service got voted out; can't say I was disappointed.

    Same with me.

    Interesting I spend Saturday watching Uni Blacks in Amos .

    They won again on top and 1 game clear.

    Had fun with a couple of mates.

    Makes me realise you can go to the footy and have a good time.

    Finals football coming I think this is my spot for the next few weeks.

    Heard the expected score from the dome of death and my reaction was oh hum what is new.

    Spent yesterday baby sitting my GD.

    So all in all a good weekend.

    I doubt I will go on the weekend even if it is GCS

    I have got to the point of who cares anymore with the Dees.

    Jetta suspended 1 week and Nicholson a broken jaw. That is 17 players out. Unbelievable.

    We could seriously be struggling to field a side by the last round.

    I am beginning to seriously doubt our ability to win against the GWS.

    We will also destroy Casey's finals again due to injured players.

    A repeated one at that too.

    It's amazing how Carlton does this far more blatantly and the experience is used as a sort off hand 'joshing around' conversation piece in the media and when we do it is as if we are the third rising of the fallen angel Beezlebub.

    Fitting I suppose...

    Yes in 5 more weeks.

    I hate to admit this but I am listening to a 70's disco mix while I read Demonland.

    • 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.
