    Well certainly not for banana bread.

    Had some banana cake myself today, and it was a lot better than stale cardboard (and not Starbucks, too).

    Thanks will look forward to it. Shared a banana smoothie with Mrs. Redleg yesterday from a place called the Avenue and it was great.

    It can be done though. As I said the banana bread at Starbucks was ordinary and I have had banana smoothies that were warm and tasteless.

    One must treat the banana with respect.

    They are obviously not known for their use of the banana.

    Nearly every thread I see started on Demonland is full of gloom and doom. Can't we get one thread with some good news for a change.

    Redleg I don't find it hard to understand.

    I know lots will say I am overly pessimistic but I struggle to see any positives at present.

    We seem to be down a large hole and have not stopped digging.

    the only thing to discuss each week is the size of the loss.

    No one connected with the club ever even says the "win" word these days.

    I try to stay off most threads, not very successfully I might add.

    Can you think of anything positive to discuss as I cannot

    We will have a new Government in a few months and maybe a new Coach in a few weeks.

    It is the next few months that is the problem Redleg.

    Amazing to say this but this weekend with the game in WA on Sunday night

    I might be able to block out the MFC and enjoy the weekend.

    If the media will just talk about other teams I am home.

    Another interesting factor is i have almost lost all interest in AFL teams.

    Most weekends I struggle to know who has won.

    The converse is I am really enjoying the Amos and plan to visit my old Country team in July.

    Big weekend planned with a few of my old mates from my school days.

    Robbo on AFL 360 said that if we get belted by Freo he expects a big press conference by Tuesday.

    Does Robbo have any suggestions as to what might happen if we got up and won?

    Don't think he sees that as a realistic option.

    So if it's not after getting belted by GCoast at the G, it's getting belted by seasoned finals team in Freo at Pattersons...

    Right.

    I have never done this before, but on sunday, after about the first 20 minutes of the game, I fast forwarded to half time, watched a bit of the third quarter and then deleted the game, including the last quarter.

    It is deplorable that any enjoyment of football has been taken from us.

    I did something I have never done as well Redleg I did not intend to listen / watch the game.

    I heard the score on ABC news and got what i expected.

    Like you the MFC gives me nothing but pain now.

    Never in 53 years have I ever been in this position, even in the dark days of the seventies did I feel remotely close to this.

    I wake every day now and half wish to pick up the HUN and find we have returned our licence.

    God delivery me.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
