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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
