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.

    Don't get too far ahead of yourself.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
