    Can you still smoke next to people eating breakfast?

    What a fantastic country.

    Obsessed with food and sex,art ,culture and having a good time.

    AFL would be the last thing on my mind over there.

    The European Commission Directorate-General for Translation's English Style Guide (a handbook for authors and translators in the European Commission) previously recommended the use of regular plurals for documents intended for the general public but now has no restriction on usage and states:

    Prior to 2006, the inter-institutional style guide recommended use of euro and cent without the plural s, and the translation style guide recommended use of invariant plurals (without s) when amending or referring to original legislation but use of regular plurals in documents intended for the general public.

    Like ‘pound’, ‘dollar’ or any other currency name in English, the word ‘euro’ is written in lower case with no initial capital. Where appropriate, it takes the plural ‘s’ (as does ‘cent’): This book costs ten euros and fifty cents [. . .] The currency abbreviation precedes the amount and is followed by a hard space [. . .] The symbol also precedes the amount, and is followed by a hard space if the following number contains a space.

    That game cost me 10 Euros to watch live at 7:20am in France.

    You're welcome AFL. I hope the Dees get a cut of that. The kids will have to make a choice between escargot and frogs legs tonight.

    I suggest the frog legs, seriously taste like chicken just with a lot of bones

    Good God Doctor!!!! Is it something in the air at "Hopping Dicks Creek" that allows you to produce a dissertation of this nature at 7.51 am on a Monday?

    I wont even be capable of deciphering it until the pm, by which time, hopefully the weekend's Shiraz will be starting to dissipate from my system.

    ahem ... Wikipedia. As to the deciphering, best left till the Shiraz levels have been restored.

    Was in Germany last week for work.

    Cigarettes are cheap. You can't smoke on the footpath between a restaurant and its outdoor eating area, but you can smoke at the table where you eat. Astonishing.

    Love their beer, too. Walked out of a conference and they gave a bottle of beer and a pretzel to every attendee.

    hmmn, $15.15.... you must be a masochist

    I forgot the game was on, until I changed channel from music radio to tv, & there it was. I watched for a bit, but couldn't drag my mind away from the computer, to sit & watch telly... such is the way of today's footy.

    but we all live in hope, things will get better again.

    Am in Auckland for work and managed to totally miss the game.

    As a result I'm feeling quite good at the moment.

    Who won? ;)

    well done prb, & well played.

    you know, the players should be played now to sort the list, & the supporters should take a holiday for the next 2 months, & be payed some compensation for the PTSD suffered, from decades of abuse at the hands of the VFL/AFL

    I reckon the snails and frogs would have played better than the Dees did.

    I'm starting to think our players are French.

    They all seem to meekly surrender at the first signs of opposition.

    Wikipedia is not a valid source of reference material. Someone had to say it, even at the risk of being banned.

    Contact the club and ask for reimbursement, you paid to watching Melbourne play for 4 quarters but they were only out there for one!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
