To start I really enjoyed the win on Saturday.

However I feel quite off hand about the MFC right now.

I feel like oh good the club is getting going at last so they don't need me any more.

The membership will probably take a big rise this week and when we win next weekend it will go up again.

Next two weeks are interstate then Richmond at the G which will be the only game I can go to till the Hawks game ( OS for 3 weeks )

This may be contributing but I feel quite detached at present strange!

Wait until we are 4-0 OD ... :blink:

    It's either too much single malt or .... more probably not enough OD.

    Zero Bbo

    But some nice heathcote red at my sisters on Saturday night.

    Shiraz from Heathcote is usually top class. Hope you downed some of your sister's pinot.

    Interesting Bbo their entire grop of grapes this year was destroyed by European wasps so no 2015 vintage.

    But the 2014 is coming along nicely in the barrels.

    And yes we did crack a couple of 2013.

    I hope JV plays on number 9 if he gets a game. A couple of those smashes into the ground would go down well.

    Need to build on that win. Have to roll GWS in Canberra. Need to win the games we have a chance to win. Best thing is for the players to gain belief.

    Agree Redleg. Momentum would be good for this group.

    WOW that is disturbing news

    We are coming off bumper crops of magnificent grapes in all the North East.

    The concern is what to do with the the large quantity of last years not so good which were kept after a few years of small yields of excellent quality. Price points are being put into interesting perspective.

    The euro wasps have been bad but I havent heard they affected the harvest.

    My sister grows only Pino and they seem to like it best. She also has some table grapes mixed in and as yet they have not touched them.

    When i was there on Sunday the vines are just a mass of wasps. My brother in law has destroyed 23 nests in their area I have never seen anything like it.

    Hanging rock winery is right next door, they have lost a lot of Pino but only small damage to other varieties.

    It is hard to believe but they suck the juice right out the grape.

    Leaves the empty skins in bunches on the vine.

    Thanks for the news OD will share with the NE vignerons I know.

    There are some winemakers here with close contacts in other areas so it will be an interesting comparison point.

    I hope the little bast ards don't like shiraz!!

    Cold weather today would have done a lot of them in Bbo.

    Cold weather is their Achilles heel.

    This is potentially national emergency stuff for heavens sake! Dpositive get onto Brown Brothers and Gapstead pronto!

    These bloody imported wasps! All our best produce goes to the overseas market. The Mad Monk should get on top of it now! It's a disgrace. Pass me another single malt please lass......

    Blddy Euro wasps. I might have to switch over to boutique beers. The Byron Brewery does a nice tasting platter of 6 for $18.

    Hope the German wasps among them don't start going after hops as well.

    They must come from Mediterrean regions them. Likely the Mafia is behind it all.

    Achilles heel? They must be Greek. Never trust the Greeks.

    Sorry Daisy and Biff. Looks like the blue rinse brigade has lost the club to an entirely new demographic. All we can do is sit back and wince or hope that we continue to win and that will scare them off. (For the record, I like Chet Faker's music).

    just temporarily, just long enough to rid the country of hipsters

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
