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

    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

    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.

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

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
