It'll certainly be a step or two up on what you're accustomed to BBO.

The Estate in Romsey is comfortably pretentious while remaining tasteful. Sufficient to let the poor folk gawk in awe.

So I assume then that the Fyshwick townhouse is likely to be opulent but, given Biffen's lack of taste, crass?

I believe Bitter But Optimistic is driving up from Romsey, you could try him. That said, you might feel more comfortable travelling up with Ivan Milat.

I have an old corolla which will make it ok...looking for someone to come with me to share petrol and accommodation. Desperately poor so can only do this with help. The plan is to drive to Holbrook .

Correct plus certain other "gear" to ensure exciting night after activities in Cantberra.

BTW Biffen has organised accommodation for me in a place called Fyshwick . He assures me it is a very salubrious area.

couldn't you put special in the horse llama camel alpaca trailer?

" gear" ...............if i was you I would travel alone "Special" no disrespect to BBO!

No offence taken Ernest but surely you would understand that I am like any honest tradesman. A plumber carries his wenches wrenches, an electrician his screwdrivers. A decent flagellator carries his/her ... well you get my drift.

No offence to "Special" but the Lads are very touchy about their trailer.

I want video of this roadtrip on YouTube for all Demonlanders to enjoy want went down.

Sorry Em but all videos are strictly for personal use. I'd have to give you a whipping if you got your sordid little mitts on one.

If you carry a short length of hose and a large Jerry can with you,free petrol is only a quick suck away.

Alternatively, if you found a way to harness the methane expulsion in the Carolla over 6 hours with Bitters you could travel to mars.

I'm afraid it would be a choice of either the Eagles or the Eagles sonically so you might consider taking some razor blades.

I only just glimpsed the end of that first sentence Biff and thought one of your girls was to be in BBOs car!

Interesting road trip.

Im picturing a cross between "Priscilla", and "The Sure Thing"

I'm picturing Thelma and Louise- but as overweight men,shoved into a Carolla,exploring their freedom on the road.

Probably not as good as the original movie .

They could do the lemming thing if we lost badly.

Also ,I think the ACT is a hub for porn purveyors and collectors so Bitters will make the most of the trip I'm sure.

Please Biffen, don't tell me you mislead me about Fyshwick. You obviously overcharged me!!

The plan is to drive to Holbrook ...... leave about lunchtime Friday and stay overnight on Friday. Then 3 hours to Canberra Sat morning. Drive back to Holbrook accommodation Sat night.......back to Melb Sunday morning arrive sun arvo.

Petrol about $150 total and accommodation around $90-100 for a two single beds times two nights. So the travel/accom could be done for About $175 each.

Prefer stunningly attractive young blond female companion, however will accept old ugly [censored] like myself....or any other Demon mad human being. I've got an old corolla but it'll make it. Would be happy to go in your late model Ferrari or similar.

Any other hair brained scheme to get there considered.

If you still haven't found a passenger to share the load with you The Demon Army's facebook page will help you out

I think we should demand a full report on this thread afterwards, which could form the first chapter of a new book called "Demon road trips" ... :)

There's a road trip to a Demons Swans match at the SCG in 1983 (or 82), arranged by the club (or possibly the cheer squad) that i COULD elaborate on for that book

classic. nice to have a laugh this morning. has anyone actually seen BBO? i have always been intrigued by his photo and posts. almost worth taking the risk and giving him a lift to find out after making sure he is in the backseat with seat belt firmly on to ensure he or she cannot get aroused on the journey.

someone told me this was a shot from better days

If Jack Kerouac had read this thread before he got big his first novel may well have been "I'd prefer to stay home".

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
