You need one for single malt Rev.

Otherwise you are just getting drunk.

That's the way it's been for a while now. You think I should stop necking the bottle then? Tell you what...if we beat Hwthorn next week I will use two glasses. One for each hand.

Have you got two over there?

I will stick to one glass but the volume might increase a little.

The bottle counts as a glass right?

I'm off to Hong Kong for the weekend tomorrow. Catching up with my son to watch the game - if we can find a bar that screens AFL. Maybe I'll buy a couple of nice glasses and a fresh bottle of something good at the duty free on the way back.

Go Dees!

Perhaps it is because we are a similar age AW.

I like the guy.

On this basis, o Old One, I think the Wise One should join us on the Geriatricity Ladder over on T$/B$? And, by name, so too should you, deeoldfart (Are we there yet? Please, no!)

And on another theme herein, isn't it a great sign of our progress that we're again contemplating single malts instead of cheap reds, or worse. There was a similar - and quickly scotched (:o) - contemplation about this time last year. No more false dawns, I say!

Funnily enough TRAB I drank more good single malt when we were the pits.

It helped ease the pain and convince me there were still fine  things in life.

There are few things that work quite so effectively as single malt. One of the great mood modifiers. I have it on good authority that the bars in heaven are laden with bottomless vats of very fine single malts. Good things await... but only for the faithful. The heart has to beat true.

Perhaps we could start our own coterie group and call it Grumpy Old Men.  My grandkids don't call me pa or granddad.  They prefer to refer to me simply as grumps.

I seriously doubt the MCG is big enough to hold us all iv'a.

But a sterling idea.

Smoking jackets with elbow patches and crystal glass in hand.

That sounds like the correct attire I can just see us all on GF day !

I have it on good authority that we will enjoy many more years of intensely joyous pleasure before we shuffle off my friend. It is written...

I'd agree with Warren's idea about our improvement, and arrival as a contender, if we can knock over the Hawks next week.

And little would make me happier.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
