Geez Hardtack ,I never picked you for an old fella.

I've been to Nam twice as a tourist and I would never have survived the mozzies .

My wife is from Tay Ninh and her dad was "re-educated" for 3 years when the South lost .

Lovely people but the ice in the beer is really a post war crime.

Is that because the ice sucks or because it's a crime to put any ice in beer whatsoever.

    The ice should be placed AROUND the beer to cool it before the bottle is opened.

    I have tried to explain this to the people of Vietnam but they will not accept my imperialist attitude.

    Either that or they cannot wait required half hour for the bottles to cool down.

    The ice itself is fine,the beer tolerable. Helps wash down the bbq rats marinated in chilli and lemongrass.

    I was called up in 1972...on my birthday no less! I was deferred because I was studying at Swinburne and then Gough got voted in later that year and National Service got voted out; can't say I was disappointed.

    Same with me.

    Interesting I spend Saturday watching Uni Blacks in Amos .

    They won again on top and 1 game clear.

    Had fun with a couple of mates.

    Makes me realise you can go to the footy and have a good time.

    Finals football coming I think this is my spot for the next few weeks.

    Heard the expected score from the dome of death and my reaction was oh hum what is new.

    Spent yesterday baby sitting my GD.

    So all in all a good weekend.

    I doubt I will go on the weekend even if it is GCS

    I have got to the point of who cares anymore with the Dees.

    Jetta suspended 1 week and Nicholson a broken jaw. That is 17 players out. Unbelievable.

    We could seriously be struggling to field a side by the last round.

    I am beginning to seriously doubt our ability to win against the GWS.

    We will also destroy Casey's finals again due to injured players.

    A repeated one at that too.

    It's amazing how Carlton does this far more blatantly and the experience is used as a sort off hand 'joshing around' conversation piece in the media and when we do it is as if we are the third rising of the fallen angel Beezlebub.

    Fitting I suppose...

    Yes in 5 more weeks.

    I hate to admit this but I am listening to a 70's disco mix while I read Demonland.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
