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

 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

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

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!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
