    I doubt it Earl the LNP would have nothing to do with those commos and they will not hear of us importing bananas.

    The last great tariff protection

    I suspect that Comrade Earl would deal with anyone. Indeed in my experience, Commos are an honourable lot compared to their capitalist counterparts.  

    Earl's behaviour has the touch of Milo Minderbender. Our very own Milo on this site. I am looking forward to hearing of further outrageous trades involving Earl or Milo.

    Sorry Old Dee I missed your reference to the LNP. Also look out for Cory Bernardi and his conservative revolution!

    The other point to make is that Cuban bananas bend the other way, to the left, rather than to the right as you are looking at them. Not sure if this will pose a marketing problem or not? 

     

     

    Must be that the Cuban girls roll them on their left thigh rather than their right, Earl?  Funny that the Cuban cigars don't give an indication of which thigh they were rolled on?

    Anyway, maybe it also proves that our banana bending Qld friends favoured the right all along with their Aussie bananas. Must go all the way back to Bjelke's days.  

    Oh and Earl, how goes the search for fair trade coffee in Cuba?  Any good 'brews' found that you could do a little importing of?  You know, sewn into the door upholstery of the Roller when you bring it back into Oz?

    bj the way you describe it I may take up smoking again! 

    Ernest, profit is everything but it is not about me, I do it only for the Syndicate and our share holders as you know.

    Sorry to throw footy in here, but I was thinking that a good year for us, will put us in a strong position to grab a FA or two next year, so that we don't have to rely too heavily on the draft, with our fairly young list.

    If we have a good year then FAs will go bananas? And be all over us like monkeys up a chocolate-covered banana tree? And they will kick lots of goals with bananas? And this thread will go even more bananas? And if we make the finals I will plant a banana tree in my backyard? 

    Is that enough? :lol::)

    Think you nailed it.

    I assume you would be watching your banana trees grow, while lying on your banana lounge in the backyard.

    I think you're right Redleg. We'll become an attractive proposition and dare I say it, a destination club for a couple of players.

    How did this quote come to be allowed here. I just read about Cuban girls' thighs which piqued my interest then someone had to drag football into it. Back to google for me !!!

    OD I suspect you are correct my Cuban banana deal is in tatters. I have been double crossed somewhere at the highest levels. I am currently licking my wounds in Cancun after being whisked out of Havana last night by my brother in law one step ahead of the local police chief. You may remember my brother in law sells vacuum cleaners in Havana, well the whole time I was there I never saw him sell one; I suspect he was so frustrated he started drawing pictures of vacuum cleaners as a side line I suppose to earn some pesos. I quite liked his sketches actually and remember showing them to a few of the regulars at the Wonder Bar where I would have my regular afternoon banana daiquiri. They were very interested in them so he had potential clients no doubt about it but when I mentioned this he went ballistic! Next thing I know we are all off to the airport to catch the first plane out? 

    To add insult to injury I had my stash of real Cuban coffee, the Inner Party coffee confiscated by the communists at the airport customs. So I have nothing to show for my trade deals except a few kilos of guava paste! 

    I suspect there will be no Cuban bananas in OZ anytime soon.

    And what about equal time for pineapples ? Another delicious tropical fruit.

    Not on this thread. Only one fruit is the gospel on this site.

    • 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.

    • 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?
