Yeah , a long proud history. Fascinating engraving really. The long goal posts without the behind posts, The stand with the colosseum look (super boxes ?), the scaffolding for the lights (is there a bloke up there?) and the old picket fence in the background. Obviously night footy didn't take on as we waited a while for the next installment!

I was just thinking, how unappetizing do banana fritters look?

Just imagine, OUR GREAT CLUB had already been in existence for 21 years when that pic was taken. In fact, our club was established 33 years before the Federation of Australia. Not even old dee and me go back that far, but some times it feels like it!

Edit: spelling

Just home from a knee operation mate and at the moment I do feel that old.

No doubt I will bounce back.

Have a great Christmas lets hope 2012 is an improvement.

Go Dees

Get well quick old dee

Time to reacquaint yourself with a few Demons Youtube clips while you recuperate :)

Hopefully the knee comes good and you are out bouncing on the trampoline within a week, and if it takes a bit longer than that, you can always content yourself with jumping out of your skin at the Dees prospects for 2012. Seasons greetings to all Demonlanders. Our patience will soon be rewarded!

Listening to "Over You" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Can't believe he disappeared for about 35 years. One of the best pop voices of all time.

Can I wish all Demonlanders safe and happy holidays and a great year in 2012 for the Dees.

and controversial... maybe that's why he disappeared?

What was the controversy?


The lyrics to "Young Girl" raised a bit of a ruckus if my memory serves - from Wikipedia:

"Controversial at the time and later for its risque lyrical references to underage romance. Allmusic labeled the groups lyrics "bizarrely pedophilic."

Wong's Chinese Cafe in Glenhuntly Road Elsternwick has been renovated!

Opened in 1959 it was the same until october...I had lunch in there today.

The Food is still the same....but it did feel a little weird sitting in the "New Room"!

WYL - I go there sometimes too.

Occasionally, I lunch with some other avid Demon fans as well.

Perhaps we might catch up there some time.

Excellent idea...Would love to meet Demonlanders at Wong's '59 being a Premiership year!!!

Do it on the Queens Birthday weekend and I would be happy to turn up... I used to live not too far away from there in Field Street (just off Alma Rd near the corner of Glenhuntly Rd).

Could well be on holidays in Asia next June. Melbourne winter is just too cold!! I was thinking more over summer before the season starts...But i am sure we could work out some annual events at Wong's!

Wongs was a family favorite for many years, I can't fathom that it would ever change!

My mum always loved the banana fritters there, even though they did look a little turdlike.

Anyway, I want to wish all of you all the best for the festive season, it has been a tough year footy wise but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel at last!

I think I'll spend next week at the G with the swarmi army, I can't get enough of the place

Cheers to all

HaHaHa...The Menu is still the same, don't worry..and i am sure the Fritters are prepared in exactly the same way!!

The long soup with the flat noodles is a special.

If this keeps up I'm going to claim some advertising from Steven the proprietor.

I have some good stories about the place when I think it was his mother in later years who served and was sometimes a bit forgetful.

Steven (Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou) Top Guy...We would test Mrs. Wong on her Menu Memory when a group of us ABC persons would take over the Lazy Susan table quite often on a friday afternoon in the 80's...great days.


Steven is so polite and calm, I often wondered if he could have a dark side....maybe I have seen too much Dexter

Bahahahaha!! "Wong's After Hours....." what a TV Show...The Kam Yin Chinese in Elwood closed last year, that was dodgy...Never a customer, but always open....

Maybe we have found our Chinese sponsor for the front of jumper?

Ah yes, forgot about that. Of course he didn't write the song , their producer Jim Fuller did.

We could all meet there before the first NAB cup game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
