Ah to look at the magnificent artwork on the walls of the Gat, created by the inmates, with their bare hands, while in a drunken or drug induced stupour, on the filthy tiles and plaster.

Artwork at its finest.

You are a man of taste and sensibility RL.

 
 

Anyone besides me going to the game friday?

Bruce Springsteen for me.

Christmas present from my daughter and to be honest that night with my daughter is way more important.

Beats watching paint dry or concrete setting anyway.

Lucky you weren't at art school during The Robert Hughes era or we may never have known such talented criticism.

You are welcome for "anexclusive tour" if you give me some warning so my minions can clean the art.

Inspirational stuff Biffen. Understand the subtle metaphors that evolve from your substance abuse. The lads teared up when reading this.

You have magnificently demonstrated just how boorish you are Shandi. I am trying to be an example of what is expected on this site. I am sure WJ will admonish you for your crass posting.

And! What's more you have insulted a fellow poster, who has risked life and limb , protecting his neighbour's wife and wine collection against the threat of fire. You should be ashamed.

I don't know how Adam Goodes can love with himself for accepting that award.

You are correct Biffen. I thought I was a certainty for a gong this year. What the eff more can I do??

Try and keep on topic or start your own wine appreciation thread on the general board Bitty. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. Anyway, you're a very naughty boy. Bad, very bad.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There is only one way to get off the topic on this thread ... :blink:

What is the origin of the shandy?

An extremely good question Redleg .

Back in the sixties before wine became popular it was a "lady' s " alternative to a mixed drink.

Other than that I will bow to superior knowledge.

Often, after playing cricket on very hot days, some blokes had the habit of having a shandy or two first. They reckoned a full beer was too bitter when you were really thirsty.

Strange how this go out of fashion Bbo

I have not seen anyone have a shandy for twenty years or it could be longer.

Of course it may be that I don't mix in the right circles!

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G.

The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
