    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.

    • 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.
