A pet cockatoo. Now fancy that!

As a near neighbour, I always thought the loud screechy voice belonged to she who must be obeyed!

No that was Kennett the cocky.

BTW Mrs. Redleg is not amused.

    Let's not let a 'D' get in the rode of the theme.

    Could we get these ladies as the pre-game entertainment? Even Ben-Hur might be happy.

    I'm thinking that Instead of scarves, we could issue members with red and blue bandanas.

    And the players could wear them to look like badasses.

    Good idea, we use the Hawks membership numbers rort. Yes we sign up our Alpacas, budgies, turtles, hamsters etc and suddenly we are a major club again. Sponsors will see us worthy of of their sponsorship dollars with our huge data base.

    The AFL will once again see us as the major club we once were.

    I will even join up my pet cockatoo with the loud screechy voice, who we named Kennett.

    i knew a girl a long time ago who had a cockatoo

    those were the days ...my friend

    As we near 200 pages and 5000 posts, I think, for only a second, we should reflect on the post MFC career of that person, on Ablett like money up West of Sydney. Saturday, another typical day at the office, 13 possies at 60% effectiveness.

    Oh well back to bananas.

    Have not seen one for two days Redleg which is sad in its own right.

    Even as we sit at the bottom with a crap list we did the better of that deal.

    Thank God I have finished in the chair for 4+ months.

    Today while the game was on as I sat through 110 minutes I thought hell this way better than being at the MCG.

    How bloody sad is that!

    I know how you feel, I was at the game.

    I think we need to change the MCG seats to banana lounges. We will steer away from pies and chips and sell banana fritters, banana splits, banana bread and cake, banana mousse, duck a la banana sandwiches and washed down with those healthy banana smoothies. I will get the trumpeter to play the banana boat song and have the bananas in pyjamas selling raffle tickets at the games.

    Every new member will get a free banana .

    I will get this club moving again.

    That might get the team playing like the Bananas in Pyjamas. Oh, hang on ... :-)

    No he is too busy running for President of the Australian Pigeon's Association, even though he is a cocky not a pigeon.

    Banana doughnut with coffee this morning.

    very nice way to start the day.

    then I foolishedly ventured onto sports news web sites.

    hmm seems there is plenty happenning behind the scenes at the MFC.

    This is my first venture back to Demonland.

    now do I have the resolve to close after this thread?

    Stick to the banana crepes, they won't give you nightmares of Melbourne games.

    Was in McDonalds this evening and noticed at the McCafe they were selling Banoffee cake... I can only presume it's a banana / coffee combo.

    Could there be anything more repulsive?

    Please, Redleg, tell me you're not a banoffee man ?

    I stand corrected, sort of.

    Google tells me banoffee is a mixture of banana, cream and toffee

    Only slightly less repulsive than a banana coffee combo

    Must admit I have never heard of it. Sounds like an interesting combo. I am prepared to try it.

    For those interested I have a runner at Seymour thursday at 11.03, named Starcrazy. If not too heavy he should go ok.

    Best banana crepe I ever had was sitting in a cinema in Hong Kong with only me and an old guy smoking up the back and coughing occasionally watching a horror movie I understood none of in Cantonese.

    I still remember the creamy banananess of this crepe and the genuine smile of the woman who gave it to me.

    Bananas are truly the king of fruit.

    Was just there for the visa. The crepe was a bonus, and pretty much the highlight of a very brief visit.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
