2 from the first seven was the high point of my expectations pre season Mr. Leg

Funny what a win does to the reasoning power.

Now I think we are a rough chance next weekend.

We were beaten by four goals over there in a practise match.

Side is more used to each other now and it is at the G

This could be close.

Just imagine if we are 3 and 2 after five.

I hope I don't wake up any time soon.

Sweet dreams.

Seriously you cannot expect to beat the Dockers anywhere and in any galaxy, however, we are a different side and hopefully we can be very competitive.

Then, if we were very lucky and they kicked badly, got injuries and we had the best of the umpiring, well you never know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I woke up.

    Read somewhere on one of the threads that Biffen and Bitter were both going to be in town for last night's game...has anyone heard from them since? Did they destroy some new place (since Bitter was banned from the Gat) and get locked up?

    Have we established whether that was BBO on the tele last night with his shirt off, and plenty of flesh, after we kicked the winning goal?

    Well done my Lord, it took a member of the monied and sophisticated class to pick up on that! I was inside the mansion watching on the home cinema ( and sipping a red) at the time of that bizarre occurrence . I could hear the lads watching on the big screen in the barn begin honking and kicking the walls. I thought I'd entered some sort of space/time warp and was watching myself. Then I noticed the shirt was of poor quality and not tailor made. I had a nasty moment though.

    No Earl, not enough studs or make up.

    Not sure when we'll hear from Biffen again! I believe he had to front court over various "matters". Outcome uncertain I would think!

    Was Redleg representing him or was it someone else from the bar?

    Presumably he'll also need someone to do his soliciting for him.

    There is a lot of concern about the undesirable element ruining the convivial atmosphere and destroying the vibe in St Kilda.

    But we at the Gat have a long term plan to bring down rents and remove these Glen Waverley hipster from our happy home.

    No offence to Danby WJ,but he has no idea about Fitzroy St although his office is right in front of mine.

    He has given very few speeches in Parliament about the importance of the Gat to Australian art and culture.

    The only thing he had added in five terms has been about 30 kgs to his midriff.

    I need to stand up for Melbourne ports and get rid of these educated,employed parasites from our streets forever!

    Even when the "fellow Dlander" rate was applied Red was still far too pricey for Biffen and his dodgy credit card. But, as you say there are plenty of others at the bar. You do any pro bono work Jack?

    Presumably he'll also need someone to do his soliciting for him.

    A possible career change for you Doctor?

    By the way,

    On my (formerly) private court matters.

    I was victorious- with no thanks to my learned colleagues on this forum although I do heed their wise words .

    I represented myself,which was a risky strategy, but I had the matter heard in a rural backwater so I had some chance of confounding/ corrupting the judge.

    I am now free to roam the ever emptying cafés of Fitzroy st to ply my trades!

    Given your extensive "experience" with certain aspects of the legal system Biffen, I imagine you would have given a credible, if not quite Rumpole like performance.

    However, one aspect of the matter does leave me curious. What makeover did you undertake to present as a worthy citizen? You surely did not appear in your usual garish, stained and tasteless pimp attire? No one would lend you clothing surely? Did you steal it?

    I happened to have a temporary job dressed as a light infantryman from 1915.

    Having no time to waste, leaving the bayonet at the desk, I dashed into court to face whiskey o'reilly , the country judge known to be better in the afternoon.

    As he stood when I entered, I knew I had made the right choice of apparel.

    of course paying the main witnesses for the crown a visit to "discuss" their evidence at 2am one morning probably helped a little bit too, biffo?

    Biff surely wouldn't have stooped so low. He consorts with people to take care of those sorts of matters.

    biffo doesn't like paying other people wages, mabel. besides, biffo's credo is the less people know the less they can talk

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
