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 is hard to screw up Bananas!

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.

You mean apart from this one? :-) The Aaron Davey one got close for about 6 posts or so.

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.

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.

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

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.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
