Do I close the thread down for lack of interest?

Surely you have something better to do with your time than worry about the best thread on Demonland.

Good luck with your grandson's lightning premiership day.

Apologies to the banana cake, but I sampled some vanilla slice cake last night, I forgot how nice it tastes. Haven't had any in years.

My local Café had warm banana cake with marmalade on the side......I immediately thought of you blokes.....Unfortunately I don't like bananas....

You never usually ask.

Better see if Stuie is OK with it.

He loves a good closure.

I just get the feeling Neil Craig knows something about the Coaching position at Melbourne, as he keeps repeating, if he is not what we are looking for, he won't get the job. He also keeps saying he was given the job for 11 weeks and that is his brief, nothing more.

No, but there are few others that may have postings, but not a lot of worthwhile content ... :-)

FWIW I planted some roses recently, and in a certain corner put a red one and a blue one (well, as blue as roses get - more like light purple )

One day I hope to be able to put a navy blue one next to the red one, or better yet, a hybrid one that produces red and blue flowers, starting in late September ...

Is that better, WJ? :-)

Maybe. I see it more as him not putting himself into a corner by saying that he wants the job, but then having nowhere to go if he doesn't get it. He won't say that he doesn't want the job, of course (even if that is the case), and if he does he would need the team to win more than lose over the next four weeks or so, which makes him a hostage to fortune. So he says the above as a typically polite way of saying "too early to tell".

FWIW Provided that one of Craig, Williams or Eade wants the job (and understandably none of them have.openly said so) I don't think we could go wrong with any of them.

Nothing on this thread in 24 hours is more informative than 30 postings on a lot of the other threads.

e.g. the prattle on the "Jobe Took The Drug" thread over the last week.

Some times silence is golden!

Amen brother.

Worried about sensible content on this thread?

Well I'm just returned from the Myanmar frontier. By god it was tough going at the headwaters of the Irrawaddy. No decent red wine to be found, the Mandalay Golf Club was in poor order and the coolies couldn't wave the fans fast enough to keep me cool. The Kyber Pass would have been a better choice.

BTW. Did Biffen make it back? He came up here chasing cheap drugs to onsell at the Gatwick. Doubt he made it beyond the "pinga pongas" in Thailand.

Made it back with all goods secure.

The old Khyber is not the same though.

Changed rooms at the Gat -living the life.

Apologies to the banana cake, but I sampled some vanilla slice cake last night, I forgot how nice it tastes. Haven't had any in years.

Tentative list of those substances allowable for consumption by D'landers for approval by -T$B$ commission

are as :

Bananas ( all shapes and form )

Carrots , only when in the form of cake

Snot Blocks

and I also propose the humble Custard Tart ( on probation )

My friend Custard hates being called a "Tart"

Mr Leg you know you never see a vanilla slice in the healthfood shop. What is always there under the little glass dome - yes banana cake - health food of a nation.

That will be two "extra" laps around the tan for you!

Not sure I could make two laps in my current condition. But gee it was great vanilla slice.

Just had lunch with WJ's nephew at Surfers Paradise. He is one of the doctors for the Suns. He is just in awe of Gary Ablett. I said he is in a long queue.

If it is up for nominations, I nominate date scones (fresh, of course), and it sounds like Redleg would nominate vanilla slice. Come to think of it, what do OD and BB have against proud custard tarts? :)

Sorry -- brain fade -- yes, of course. And a big yes to blueberry muffins.

 

My nomination is choc éclair with fresh cream - none of that sugary pretend stuff.

Mr Leg if you are interested being up in the Sunshine State, we have a nice heavy 10 track at Sandown on Wednesday - perfect for wunderhorse Briefed.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
