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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
