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 ... :-)

    Great name! Has the cockatoo sued for defamation yet? :-)

    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: Collingwood

      Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
