    If we lose today I will be blowing chunks.

    I can't see it happening.

    I'm hoping we can smash them by about 15 goals and start the press  gang turning on the little talking computer they have as coach.

    Buckley,Bolton,Eade,will all be sacked during the year in long slow assassinations.

    Should be fun.

    We have enough fronts already. That's the lesson of Napoleon's retreat, not to mention the ignominy of Barbarossa.

    Also, I remind you, winter is approaching. Going to war at the MCG in thongs and a T Shirt is no longer appropriate battle wear.

    Never too early. 

    I have learnt from history. I am a forlorn prophet on Demonland.

    Yes true Uncle, I am drawn back to it, but that does not give the thread any credibility. 

    I have long known of my own failings but perhaps you need a new angle,

    I suspect that only a few still visit this thread, 

    I have an affection for you but its time to move on. 

     

     

    At least Hemmingway, both you and I retained some semblance of dignity and rare humility, not to mention literary credo!

    Not sure about taste though. To even contemplate an affair with Gertrude is an un-abideable abomination. Mind boggling juxtapositions.

    If you had ever spent an afternoon with Gertrude you would not say such things Dieter and you would then understand that there is more to a person that what meets the eye.

    Yes, James Joyce told me in his quaint Irish Brogue that, basically, she was a swell gal. Perhaps you may have had an affair with Ezra Pound? Now, there was a sharp mind...

    The Barossa has had some ill effects on me  I'll admit Skinny but I would not call it ignominious.

    I actually teared up as I passed some very familiar names when I drove through there the other day.

    BTW, speaking of wine, have any of you boozers read that the tax on wine is under review? It seems we may have to pay more for a decent red but I'm not sure what impact it will have on the fourpenny dark that Biffen and Moonie   quaff.

    Won't effect old dee of course as he shmoozes free pinos. (Which he refuses to share I might add)

    You'll be hit the hardest Uncle Bitter as the tax is based upon volume, which means your goon bags might double in price to as much as $8. Might even have to drink using a glass vessel rather than the usual 'layback' technique. Culture with a capital K.

    Yes Uncle I am stocking up the cellar as we blog! The last thing I need is an extra tax burden when I order my usual latest vintage 10 dozen Grange for the year! I mean don't they realise that such wine taxes will cost thousands of grape picking jobs, done by 457's and backpackers by the way.

    Your social conscience  is commendable Earl. You are a credit to us genteel folk.

    Just for your info, Bitter, but this is between me and thou and no-one else, I work in the wine business. Just like my noble grandparents in Voivodina/Banat.

    ( Just wondering, have you driven through there lately? Wondering because you do seem to get round and about and away from the cultural strictures of the Romsey basalt - I presume - mansion.)

    Old Dee is really drinking Pinos Cleen under another label - he probably thinks it's retsina in disguise - by the way. Have that on good authority. Never envy the free tipples of your neighbor, I always say, you don't know what brand of tipple they are really consuming. It could also be called Pinos Envy.

    And, as for that pretentious Onanist Moonshine Shadow, or, Moonie as you call him, he doesn't even know how to spell Kulture in English. Disregard anything he says. And, remember, volume is volume, whether it's metric or supine, or perpendicular. 

    My motto is, Don't let Pseuds confiscate any of my 3 or so remaining brain cells.Think about it and I encourage you to emulate that state of karma.

    When you sniff, swirl and sip can you really tell the difference about the immigrant status of the picker? Wow, I really admire your palate. You must be an incognito MW.

    All mywine is hand picked by virgins 

    Which counts out most backpackers.So I've dodged a business expense there.

    Despite Bitters consumption of Gallons of Vin Ordinaire kept in a plastic tank,he is no officionado on the subject.

    I have had great trouble finding virgins in Tasmania and Mornington Peninsula but I did manage to get this years vintage in .

    It would be nearly impossible to do in New Zealand.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
