Standards seem to have dropped. 

Pleased that Others have identified the lack of a good wine to wash the repast down.

Was an adopted practice to spend time preparing the afternoon tea with a secret ingredient in order to divert attention away from the constant loss.

We renewed the practice at Tassie where we created rolls including local products.Bruny Island cheese, Evansford smoked wallaby salami, pickled walnuts from Ross and a Deloraine chutney.

We of course committed the cardinal sin of not having the Gluewien in the thermos.

We were fortunate that the Swiss army pocket knife was approved by security who appreciated that it would not only be used to divide the rolls amongst the masses but would come in handy for slashing wrists if required.

We refused the later course as mentioned earlier we forgot the wine. Lucky.

I had an experience at AAMI park during the year that could explain how the knife got though security.

I took my 87 year old Kiwi dad to the rugby  earlier in the year, the first time he had been to a sporting venue in about 20 years.  As he shuffled up to the security area he emptied his pockets while the security guy wanded him.  As he was standing there I noticed on the table next to him his iPhone, house key and his pocket knife!  The guard did not bat an eyelid.  Back into the pocket it all went and into the ground shuffled an 87y.o. knife wielding supporter.

He was quoted as:

“If a Melbourne Demons supporter is the stereotype of someone who enjoys the good things in life and has a refined palate, then yes. I’ll take that. I hope Melbourne supporters will identify with that.

Well said good man.

Yes I’ve always wondered why some see our stereotype as a bad thing

Melbourne supporter - drives nice car, earns good money, goes skiing

Collingwood supporter - not particularly smart, no teeth, on dole and perhaps renting house from a Melbourne supporter. 

I know which one I would prefer

Yeah that is true. I guess all that 'toffeeness' doesn't translate to the rigors and brawn of a footy game!

That's not true about the Collingwood supporters. I don't think you are eligible for the dole while in gaol.

I really never understood the Melbourne stereotype... oh no, how horrible to be considered educated, well off, and having good taste. I would much rather be toothless, dumb and on the dole.

Anyone remember the old juice bottles called Footy Juice?

My mother in law (pies supporter) used to take them filled with port.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
