    City Park monkeys

    It must have been the expression " two heads are better than one"  that drew him to their unique culture.

    Thanks for the heads up on the monkey business.

    I'm also going to Launceston to try and get away from the Food channel. I've been watching it a lot ....all night.....I'm addicted...... and it makes me want to eat all the time.

    I'm turning into a lard person. I think we should start a thread here ......Ban the Food Channel.

    I will certainly be bringing up the Food Channel on every thread from now on.

    I can't for the life of me understand the weirdos on this site who want to stick to the thread topic.

    I mean I've been a paid up Melbourne member continuously since 1963 and find the club and stuff interesting ................but .......

    this Food Channel issue.........people here need to review their priorities.

    Besides there are some fat players or possibly becoming fat players, who obviously need our help. Like Chunk and Pedo.

    Special if you are into wine the Tamar Vally has some excellent wineries up either side, including some Straya's best sparkling and pinots.  Also, if you are into nature, Launie isn't far from world heritage sites.

    I know how you feel Special.

    Ive been watching grand designs and I feel the urge to put on a black polo and black rim specs before spouting on about glass and light like I invented them.

    Also Mount Ben Lomond.

    The famous founder of our city formed a long line of men with guns there and they marched towards the ocean, shooting men,women and children wherever they stood.

    Hard to find any tourist markers pointing this out.

    Interested in your sources for this post Biff. I am currently reading about early contact from 1788 onward and the writings of the early explorers observations of the locals in their natural environment.

    I am into nature Moony big time. In fact I think the only hope for saving nature is a new party I am going to form a new party....'The Green Fascist party.' I haven't discussed my idea with Pauline Hanson yet but I think she will love me. The Greens are just too wishy washy now and need a new strong leader. I have some great sketch ideas for uniforms....Green with high boots (synthetic, look alike leather.)

    Yes Biff TV...it's awful here. The best tv in the world is in Italy. They have stacks of great shows...like game shows and stuff, with funny presenters and lots of girls. If only we could get Silvio Berlisconi to take over the ABC here I would be rapt.

    Govenor Arthur... late 1830 to ordered a massive six-week military offensive known as the Black Line, in which 2200 civilians and soldiers formed a series of moving cordons stretching hundreds of kilometres across the island in order to drive Aboriginal people from the colony's settled districts to the Tasman Peninsula in the southeast, where it was intended they would remain permanently confined.[5][6][7]  (Wikipedia)

    Also worth researching Cape Grim on the west coast for the same reason. 

    Best be careful or we'll have Demonland's Bolt fans calling us the black arm band lefties

    Yes the Black Line or the Black War.

    Graziers were reporting raids upon properties and Aboriginal tribes sought retribution for their women who had been stolen or " purchased".

    Batman controlled the line from Launceston to the ocean with the intention of driving any survivors out to Flinders Island to the N/E

    It was here that Batman grew his ruthless reputation and gained support as a selector in the new colony of Victiria.

    Touchingly, he took care of a young Aboriginal boy who's parent he had shot. He was all heart.

    Thank you Special. It seems you're not such a bad fellow after all.

    It so happens that I will making my first ever trek to Taswegia in early February so a report of your tailblazing trailblazing activities will be most helpful I'm sure.

    Maybe you could take special along in the Merc for that road trip you have been promising him for 3 years?

    I notice Biffen that you are very generous with my assets!

    I have previously refused Special any access to the Merc on the basis of his poverty. Now I'll grant you he seems a decent enough chap for one of that ilk but his need to stowaway on the "Princess" suggests little change in his state of penury.

    Haven't heard much from the good Doctor of late.

    I suppose he's preparing for the festive season. I understand it's a very big deal in Hopping Dicks and really draws the community together.

    Apparently the Summer Solstice will do that. The body painting is supposed to be quite complex  but I believe the good pagans of Hopping Dicks simply get a few spray cans of Dulux from the local Bunnings and go at it furiously so that they can get straight into the naked dancing.

    The bizarre sexual rituals that follow are supposed to be worth a look also but evidently they have considerable difficulty finding virgins for sacrifice in those parts.

    It is rumoured that the good Doctor's alchemic skills provides "secret herbs and spices" which makes the barbequed possum something special when washed down with a cask of Aldi red.

    Still haven't heard from the good doc and he doesn't appear to handing out his usual indiscriminate thrashings.

    Is it possible the doc cavorted a little too enthusiastically during the abovementioned rites of summer and did himself a mischief?

    • 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.

      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.
