I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

Close... okonomiyaki (no ‘e’), so we’ll pay that ?.  I went a couple of times to a really old Okonomiyaki restaurant in the Tokyo district of Asakusa, called Sometaro. It was still in its original building and operated by the same family, and was over 100 years old. Soooo good!  Were you connected with the armed forces in some way (Yokosuka was and maybe still is, the home of a US base).

    Giving (Melksham) away the free kick was stupid enough.

    I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

    What was it for?

    Simple explanation really:

    AFL rule 102.3.b.  “A crucial free kick against Melbourne does not require any justification  at all” and 102.3.c “Missing an obvious and especially a crucial free kick to Melbourne does not require any justification  at all”

    I don't normally overtly bleat about umpiring, but I watched the first quarter yesterday - granted I was looking only for Melbourne free kicks paid or not paid, jeez I felt there were a lot of holding the balls not paid, a lot of tackles around the neck slipping down not paid, and even some marks not paid.

    Is it my bias...seriously, or are the rules not rules, just interpretations these days?

    Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me. 

    Then I guess we should stop giving them our coal iron ore and food for hundreds of billion dollars underwriting our superior lifestyle

    Well they've just suspended imports of barley from our largest grain exporter citing 'quarantine' pests. The saga continues.

    Since 1945 guess which country  has been at war most often? Guess who has military bases all over the world? I know, they were in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq and Panama and Granada and Libya and Syria and Cambodia etc etc etc  'protecting our freedoms'.

    I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

    Don’t ask. Just eat whatever it is

    It would help if the commentators didn't turn dwn the umpires' volume so they could make their asinine name dropping etc.

    Close. Drop the E. I too love the dish. Best time I've had it was a random restaurant in Tokyo where we didn't speak any Japanese and they didn't speak any English but we just pointed and nodded. I've now been back to Japan almost a dozen times including living on the north island for a few snow seasons, and bullet-training our way across Honshu for our Honeymoon. Would easily move there if I could.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
