    I believe our good gentrified friend Earl Hood may have lapsed into deep depression. Mr Turnbull today announced that imperial honours were finito! The good Earl has been seen at the right places and pressing the right flesh (not in the way Biffen understands) in order to qualify for a gong. All in vain it seems.

    Hope he doesn't cast himself off the roof of the Stock Exchange.

    Bill Guest a long time Demon fan, just got his horse into the Cup, winning the Lexus and surviving a protest I thought he should have lost.

    Pity they missed the steward .

    Deserved a bullet for that alone.

    Probably. He wanted to have a drink with Biffen so he must be a weirdo.

    I only drink with interesting people.

    When they aren't available,I gravitate towards perverts.

    That's very funny Biffen.

    You are quite the cunning linguist at times.

    Yes BBO I must admit I have been a touch maudlin since the announcement but I have returned from the members at Flemington totally recharged! Certain well connected colleagues have assured me that as far as they are concerned Tony is not finished. And apparently Her Majesty is not happy with Malcolm one little bit, according to dear old Flynty!

    And DC guessed correctly I did, at my lowest ebb, find myself drowning a few G&T's outside at the Builders Arms on Gertrude Street waiting for a bus, would I do it or wouldn't I? Then I realised in the 20 years I have lived in Fitzroy I have never seen a bus on Gertrude Street, they don't go down that way too many trams in the way I guess.

    Just to add to many concerns you have Earl, I saw a fellow in Crazeyburn wearing a nicely styled North Fitzroy hipster man bun...... it matched his tatts rather well I thought.

    BTW I was just driving through in the Merc and observing poor people.

    earl, one of my neighbours (ignorant multicultural sod) thought gentrification had something to do with gentlemen

    when i explained that fitzroy was gentrified he wouldn't believe me

    DC is the multicultural sod a half Box Hill, half Blackburn skippy who has migrated to Borewood. That would explain it.

    BBO as you have stated before, just driving your Merc amongst the poor lifts their spirits as it gives them a vision of what is possible, what they can aspire to. It is laudable that you would put aside some of your precious time to volunteer amongst the poor, at your own cost. Although you might want to talk to my accountant to explore what might be deductible in regards to your fuel costs, your time and other wear and tear on your vehicle.

    Thank you Earl - your sage advice is always appreciated. However, I must differ on one point. When attempting to minimise my taxation burden, I deal directly with my lawyers. I find that group far shiftier .... ,errr more, shall we say flexible. Although, as you can imagine, gains are to some extent offset by exorbitant fees of course!!

    Herbologist are you, Earl? How about some advice on parsley, rosemary and thyme as well? :lol::blink:

    as my grandfather always said, bbo, be careful when dealing with lawyers, some of them may actually know the law

    Funny you should mention herbs R&B my wife has pots of them all over our balcony and every dinner time she insists on asking me to "get me some thyme, get my some parsley". Nearly every time I come back with the wrong herb and that allows her to reinforce one of my few weaknesses on a regular basis. It is a real blank spot for me and I have suggested she put name plates on all the pots but of course she has no intention of doing that!

    get those little stakes from Bunnings and write their names on them. Make them less obvious and surprise SWMBO with your talents ...lol

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
