There is no such thing as a bad win, especially over the Hawks!

Didn't say it was a bad win, I said it was awful footy.

True, but given the amount of awful footy that I have witnessed, it is always better to win with awful footy than to be beaten by less than a kick having played great footy. Anyway, back to bananas ...

I am astounded that no one on this great thread noticed that May 1st was National Banana Day.

An absolute disgrace!

Isn't every day Banana Day?

Is there some great historical achievement that the day celebrates?  Was it the crowning of King Banana of the Banana Republic perhaps?

Or maybe was it the birthday of the Top Banana?

Were the bells peeling across the suburbs?  Did the loyal fans go on a bender?

So many questions with possibly fruitful answers.

Why yes... Of course.

 

The Big Banana... the Head Honcho's of the bigger Publicly listed companies.

There's you King Banana's... right there.

 

... let me fathom up an image of a King Banana for ya.

Thank you OD for that ripe old suggestion, but I’m a bit too bent for public office.

Shouldn't be too hard to get another win tonight. Playing at home with a full strength side. Oh, sorry, that is the opposition.

Did we ever find our 2018 team?

With the dees returning to the winning ways of 2013/4 I have this year rekindled my interest in the Uni Blacks in the Amos and Casey after forsacking the Amos last year.

Went to windy hill last weekend and Uni Blacks game against Old Haileyburians at Princes park Caulfield today. Bounded by Bamba Rd and Dover street.

Is this the ground that the old Caulfield Bears played at in the VFA days. I played a couple of practice matches for my country team back in the early 70's against Caulfield bears . Seemed to be the right place but 47 years ago is a long stretch for my memory these days. 

Any one have any idea? 

Almost forgot we won easily. Sure beats watch the easy beats.

Come on OD the easy beats is your favourite band. You may pretend to hate them, but you keep coming back to watch them time after time.

Yes this the old Bears ground but it was not right on Dover street but a hundred metres or so to the north  Used to have a very old stand and the "cave" for drinks after,    as I remember !!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
