    At my Doctor's insistence (she who wants me to give up the booze), I am about to head to the gymnasium (with a letter from said doctor) for an assessment and development of a "fitness" program.

    I shall keep you informed - if I survive.

    In any event it seems a good excuse to buy some new gear. I look rather fetching in latex - if I do say so myself.

    Anyway toodle pip!

    Started Saturday with MY GD for breakfast.

    Pa made chocolate pan cakes with banana and Maple syrup.

    If there is a better way to start Saturday I don't know of it.

    Speaking of lunch I just had a great banana cinnamon smoothie. Feeling rather full. Might have to get up from the couch and take a long walk around the lounge room.

    I have a gardener to nance around in my garden.

    Anyway ....

    Just woken up – had to have a kip after my “workout”.

    Well it wasn’t actually a workout – but interesting. Don’t understand how people enthuse about this gym business.

    I arrived at the “Leisure Centre” and met with Katie, my fitness consultant. She took me into a small office where I sat on a tiny chair and parked my guts on the table. Things apparently didn’t proceed according to the normal plan. Katie tried to take my blood pressure but the machine kept conking out and reading “error”.

    She gave up and started taking measurements. The problem, however, was that neither her arms, nor the tape would fit around my girth.

    The final straw was that I wound their scales off the meter. Katie then spoke to another fellow who made a smartarse comment about a weighbridge.

    Katie then said she’d consult with my doctor before going any further but offered to show me around the gymnasium before I left.

    In an odd way I immediately felt at home. Here were all these people in tight costumes with red faces, grunting and groaning. They were surrounded by or using a range of very odd machines and implements.

    Apart from the lighting, it was very much like the BDSM clubs that Biffen had arranged entre for me on occasion.

    I asked Katie where the whips and canes were kept but she didn’t answer and left without saying goodbye . I am guessing that information is reserved for members.

    All in all an interesting morning but if they expect me to start lifting those treadmill things , I wont be going back.

    I was supine on the sofa last night - more from exhaustion than alcohol and watched the Swans/Hawks game. It was a fantastic game of footy. However, and I know I've said this before, such games are depressing when you compare the depth of talent these sides have to ours.

    Both sides are stacked with players who can deliver the ball (by hand or foot) quickly and accurately while under extreme pressure.

    How many players do we have who can do this? A handful? Premiership sides have depth in this level of skill.

    Will I ever see a premiership?

    I suppose my pessimism about seeing a successful premiership charge is somewhat leavened by my minimal chance of longevity.

    I seriously doubt it in my lifetime Bbo and I suspect yours as well.

    The gap is a gulf to those two sides

    Yes it was a salutary reminder of what a top footy team is capable of.... and ... what a top list consists of in terms of personal. Hawthorn loses Buddy but still has three other players around the top of the goal kicking list. FMD !!!!

    It is the stuff wet dreams are made of.

    Purely and simply we have absolutely stuffed up our recruiting over the last several years. Last year under a new Coach and Recruiting Officer looks more promising and w have to hope that they get every pick and trade right from now on.

    It can turn around very quickly though as we have seen with our undermanned side improving dramatically defensively in just one year.

    Add Hogan and with improvement in Salem, Toumpas, JKH, Kent, Tyson, Riley etc and with a few more good picks and trades we can turn it around quickly.

    Just checked my emails since Friday and there was one from the MFC.

    It offered Corporate packages to the GF, talk about the excitement etc. of the big game.

    Bought a smile to my face.

    Wonder what that feels like.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
