    Wow.  A couple of years and several hundred pages since I’ve visited this thread.  And I only have to scroll back a few posts to see bananas are still a hot topic!

    Congrats on the persistence!

    you mean this?

    On 8 April 1985, during a VFL reserves game, Bourke kicked Sydney Swans ruckman Pat Foy in the groin in response to Foy tagging him throughout the game. When umpire Phil Waight attempted to report Bourke for the incident, Bourke shoved him to the ground and kicked him, and also made contact with a Collingwood runner who was attempting to take him off the ground before running into the stands to attack a Swans fan.[2]

    The match was being broadcast on the Seven Network, with commentator Ray Jordon crying "You've gotta take the boy off!" as the incident unfolded.[3]

    As a result, Bourke was handed a suspension of ten years, equivalent to 240 matches.[4] It was later reduced to six years.[5]

    I understand how he felt, half way through the third quarter of the 21 granny, I got up to do the dishes rather than abuse my wife and the TV.  Her cry of,  they have just kicked a goal brought me back very quick.  the dishes waited for a while.

    Eff it, I hope I can be at the ground this year if we make it.   Go Dees     Love this thread.

    Thanks 640MD. The love for this thread is really lovely. I loved creating it and am loving that so many intelligent people have also loved it. I feel it has created many mores loves and lovers as a result. 
    The loveliest comments of the posters have always demonstrated their loveliness, in their appreciation of the thread. I personally have felt lovesick and lovelorn when away from the thread for any short period of time. It is a thread that has many lovelocked and loved up and sometimes feels like a love affair with the written word.

    As they say, all you need is ❤️ love.

    Have to admit rather sheepishly, I had my first pinacolada in many years last night and it was very disappointing. I remember it as a creamy drink and this one wasn’t that at all.

    Possibly coconut flavouring instead of coconut cream Red.

    Same thing was happening on the cruise we went on back in May.  They did a great job with the presentation but it was like having a pineapple slurpy!

    Any decent Pina should also start with Bacardi Gold as the base with hints of caramel, almond & most importantly... banana!!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • 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.
