I can’t think of one interesting thing I did all summer. 

That’s messed up

Sounds like the perfect summer to me. 

1. Refurbished one of my eskys to make it much more efficient

2. Learnt how to play Finska and had a lot of fun and beers playing it.

3. Booked our honeymoon to Greece for later in the year, and then later realised it's during the freaking finals. Fmd how could I stuff that up!!! 

 

1. Spent two weeks in Taiwan and, among other things, did a presentation about Australia to a bunch of kids studying English in a public high school

2. Drove from Sydney to Melbourne via the coastal route down the Princes Highway and spent a couple of weeks catching up with friends.

3. Took my son to Tokyo for a couple of weeks and wandered around taking photographs and eating.

Uncle @Bitter but optimistic I'm sure you could show these normies a thing or two on how to spend an off season.

1) Ran a full marathon (in October) and a half last week

2) Read both the Great Gatsby and the Brothers Karamazov

3) Started a biological course offered by MIT which I had to drop out from due to work

Overall, despite the numerous engagements and holidays overseas, the births of children and dabbles into viewing other sports.. 

 

.. we’ve all terribly missed the mighty dees!!!

 Watched   highlight  of MFC  replays of the finals and  H&H winning games and bagged the umpires for ripping     us off.

 2. Demonland  to keep me sane. Sometimes sane.

 3.  Curse the  **@#**#*  hot weather!

  Is it Saturday 23rd of March yet ?

1. Welcomed a beautiful baby girl (our first) into the world.
(Seems there might have been a few new additions for Demonlanders over the pre/post season?)

2. Avoided work at all costs and managed to get away with it (so far).

3. Made a real effort but struggled to enjoy the cricket this Summer.

Woke up.

Watched Snooker.

Made love.

Went to sleep.      One is a lie


1 Travelled through Europe with the family

2 Visited plenty of breweries much to the kids chagrin

3 Found the five kilos I lost last year...plus a few more

Tricky one but I’m pretty sure people who watch snooker don’t get laid. So I reckon you didn’t watch snooker.

Advice from here on in: relax and enjoy, these are the good times. It's all downhill from here......

 

 

Membership should go through the roof with all these babies being born! 

very impressed that you all timed it so well for the births to be in the off season. Can only imagine the logistics involved!

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
