Where are you Demons?

Country vic - Gippsland.

150 k to a game.....

150 k makes for a long depressing drive home after a 440 sunday thrashing.

I feel your pain, northern country vic, small town called Murchison. Those drives home and the stop at Wallan north bound to feed the mini onedays can be very painful at times especially when all three get out of the car still proudly wearing their #4, 7 and 24 on their MFC guernsey.

Beech forest,3 hour drive and would prefer etihad{yes i know you hate it} to the "G"{especially with smaller crowds]

Dont know where norway is,never been on a plane.

Also not sure about pig farmers.{Josh}dairy farmers are definitely smarter.

How does that work jazza ?

Pig farmers don't have to get up at some god unearthly hour to milk them every day!

They dont get to pull on teats.

They stink like old men{similar to yourself}.

They all look the same and its difficult to remember their names.{pigs that is}

They dont do what the dog tells them.{the pigs and the farmer]

Last but not least,a dairy farmer will be proud to introduce his occupation,a pig farmer says he is an IT expert.

Well lads , being of modest disposition, i hate to brag but I'm currently luxuriating in a 5 plus star resort near DaNang. The only thing football like is the pool which is about the size of the MCG. The pool itself runs down to the beach but the walk is a little too taxing for me. Solution. So I feign a disability and have a couple of the servants wheel me down. With a fan , umbrella and constant supply of the local brew.

I would have fitted in well to the colonial period.

I thought you were going to say that you rolled yourself into the pool ie. what they do in the logging industry in Canada and float on down to the beach.

For the last 12 months: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently back in Victoria for a month before heading back for another stint in Addis, so looking forward to actually seeing us play live against the cats with my old man (Geelong supporter). Been a long time since we played them at the G!

Ethiopia must be an awesome experience.

I trust you are spreading the good news of the oval shaped ball to the locals while you're over there?

Bit hard at the moment with the World Cup going on ;) But on a side note, there are high altitude training facilities here that would surely be far cheaper to use than the ones in the US!

While you are home,without hesitation call AFL headquarters.

They love these stories and are quite happy to spend some money by sending a pump and 100 footies back with you.

My son did some volunteer work Os and the afl had no hesitation in giving some supplies for him to disperse.

Hmm, I've got a long list of stuff I want to take back with me already! But will have to consider that. I think there is some promo work happening in Kenya at the moment so who knows maybe they'll be able to ship something over.

Dc, I have off course used the palanquin method but it has some inherent dangers - if one of the lazy beggars crumples under the load the result can be very undignified indeed.

Try a couple of crow bars Bitty, that'll get you rolling. Make sure all your bits are securely tucked in first.

I live approximately 5kms from the MCG. Would love to live in the country though - had enough of city life.

I lived and worked in Zambia and the DRC for the best part of 6 years. Some of the things I've seen and experienced are quite amazing (and disturbing) when looking back at them.

I have no idea what you do there Ascobar (I was in mining) but some of the more satisfying things we did as expats were to visit childrens orphanage's of which there were plenty of. We'd take along a few bags of maize meal and whole chickens which as you would know makes up the main staple diet - along with Kapenta (dried minnow like fish). We used to take the Sherrin along as well and taught the kids how to kick and handball and eventually tried to run some training drills. It was highly amusing to say the least.

Such an amazing continent. Enjoy your time there.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
