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: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
