    I'll have you know I have been omitted from some the finest institutions in the world.

    And forced to remain on occasion also.

    i think the correct term is now "depubbed"

    I will be at The Rose myself early on but not necessarily because there is a footy match on.

    That might create problems, we wouldn't want to leave to go to the game.

    Delusional types frequent the mountains of Victoria. The altitude Has dire effects on those without the proper inbreeding.

    I'm yet to find the hospitality of buxom blondes & the bar open after hours, with music going & song & dance & much merriment around West Gippslamd. oh so stayed.

    but nothing like a chilling frost up the nostrils to fire up the inner heat. an open fire on the ground & a poncho over the shoulders & an esky at hand.

    I remember when the publican was Whale Roberts. A huge man, but fairly cheerless in my experience.

    I used to "Have an Ale with The Whale" quite frequently. Yeah, he didn't seem all that convivial.

    Against that he was on SEN last year and seemed to not be a bad bloke, witty even.

    Whale had a pub in South Melbourne many years ago and was a top bloke but you had to get in early because he used to get p1ssed almost every day and was hopeless when he was.

    Back in 1967, when I was a drinker, I worked a couple of doors up from the Duke and it was my lunchtime watering hole, they served a good beer and it was a top little pub.

    • 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.
