Dear everyone, Don't worry about Clarry.  He was the standout for me today.  Hogan was also brilliant.

Why wouldn't they have it the following week. I would love to take my kids but that day is their last day of school for them. I'm assuming many others would be in a similar boat. 

It's the last training for the year. They can't have it the next week! It's a shame it isn't the Saturday or even 3pm on the Friday so people could take the arvo off, but I guess they are trying to stick to their routine and get the year done before the players break for 2 weeks.

Take the kids out of school in the morning and return them at lunch time?

I'm bringing tofu burgers and vege kebabs in case Moonshadow rides in on his biodiesel scooter.

Can we bring wine?

Surely Saty is a shoo in for Santa with that beard. Though the kiddies may be somewhat bemused to see Santa arriving on a scooter than on a reindeer led sleigh.

He will need to stuff a number of pillows under the red outfit. Saty is quite slim.

Don't forget the deconstructed latte Biff.

For you I'll bring some burnt lamb chops, a six pack of VB tinnies and 2 points of goey. 

That is, if you actually show up.

Sorry no brioche, tofu or vege sausages but delicately flavoured and cooked snags and white bread. Club might go the whole way and offer brown bread as an alternative to white. No expense spared.

 

Stick it then.

This is the MFC .

Not some dirty suburban cultural wasteland.

If we don't have 7 different types of organic sausage I'm going to my own sausage party.

I expect a rocket and Parmesan salad with a balsamic vinaigrette at the very least as a side.

This is Gosches paddock after all, not  the Burmese railway .

Care to rephrase that Biff?

Tongues will wag.

Surely you would add some more greens, then you could have a Parmesan vinaigrette instead, I find when the BBQ is on at Gosch's,  a nice little sachet of Worcestershire sauce that I carry with me, gives my sausage that extra lift

Worcestershire and HP are sauces usually preferred by ten pound poms.

If we're going to do this properly we need some beetroot chutney and some olives stuffed with goats cheese.

I'm thinking a Semillon or Pinot Gris might be ideal.

No pork pies please Saty.

Biff, arrived here Business Class on Singapore Airlines, begged them to let me stay as a political refugee, escaping the impending era of Thatcher, thankfully they relented.

Discovered Chiko rolls, Aussie Rules and a mini skirted young female CBA employee in the first few weeks I was here and I was hooked

Haven't managed to find a decent pork pie in all the years i have been here, they never get the jelly quite right, closest was in Brisbane

Never been a wine man myself, prefer a nice cold McCrackens

Saty, for you the world. Worcestershire Sauce will be on the table.

Tell me. How have you exactly managed to survive living in the Gat?

Arrived with my grandkids for the penultimate session of the year.

Smell of the barbie is magnificent.

Good crowd (but there are some strange characters out here :o).

Looking forward to your scintillating reports, Jack!

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
