Yes but only real men drink Irish whiskey....Jamesons is a bit too rough for some gentler souls

I have always thought the reverse Saty.

The better quality Irish single malts I find are a bit tasteless.

Prefer a good Scottish Highland single malt myself.

I will have a word on Neeld.

He came from the Malthouse camp and whether we like Malthouse or not we can't deny that he can coach - runs are on the board. I don't think the problem with Neeld is that he didn't have a game plan or an idea of how he wanted the team to play. His problem was he couldn't deliver/sell the message or get buy in.

Its interesting, after the initial Neeld euphoria on his appointment, I did wonder how the players could "believe" because from early on I was struggling. With Roos, he just keeps the message simple and seems to have the equal measures of tough,approachable, disciplinarian, but likable and friendly and it is not difficult to get swept up by him.

Is it ok to enjoy a double shot Canadian Club Whiskey with one block of ice?

Makers Mark and Jamiesons have been old friends. As has J Walker Blue and Wild Turk OP.

In moderation of course. But i must say since Abbott and Co have arrived and are dismantling the fabric of my country the consumption of top shelf liquor has increased....:)

Surprised that you guys are talking about whiskey when Roos has just presented his (Part 2) pre-season update. Surely there must be some comment?

Today I have run out of enthusiasm for football in 2103 CBDees.

This is a little lighter and less abuse if you say the wrong thing!

amazing how far one's 8c goes these days

The only other guy I ever heard of drinking that was the former boss of "News of the World".

Rupert would be disgusted that WYL can afford the same drink as his boy .

Tweet him immediately with the "News".

I can picture the phone call from Rupert to the ABC

RM"Tell everyone they are sacked immediately for wasting money"

ABC employee"Mr Murdoch ,are you aware that you don't actually own the ABC?"

RM"Why not-who says"

ABC"It's a publicly owned broadcaster"

RM"Bloody socialists"

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
