Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
 

a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

Hmmmmm,you'll have a raging hangover after this game tonight!!!

    How is it a lame duck game though? There's plenty to play for and we can still technically make it.

    I can only assume you're quite a young chap BenF.  I do admire your optimism. 

    A decent quality shiraz should do the trick.  There's still time.  Give it a decent breather about now.  Then a good old scoffing about half hour prior to the bounce.  This should help dull the forthcoming torment a little. 

    After that it's just a matter of topping up as you go.  This will ensure the numbness continues till well after the final siren.

    NOT reading this game day thread after the bounce will also assist here.

    Ye Olde Crusty Rusty

    Sounds like a good find CHF, lovely Syrah in that part of the world too.

    What are the chances we turn up for the fight tonight? Who knows really. GWS will look to pressure us for long enough...they will know our guys will toss it in if it gets really hard.

    If we bring the can't be f%$&#d's right from the start then it will get ugly.

    Are you taking orders CHF? 


    The mood/tone of this thread seems more gloomy than usual tonight.

    However, the optimistic Bitter would like to remind you ,that it is September and we are still in the game!

    How often has that happened in living memory?

    beautiful part of the world Rab. A friend of mine grew up in Nairn. Mustn’t be too far from where you grew up?

    Hi DD. Fraserburgh, or as we say in our local dialect, The Broch. Like a lot of small coastal towns it's seen better days but the beach is a cracker with a big sand dune the locals call Tiger Hill.

    It's only ruined if you harbour expectations Wise.

    And if anyone here is going to harbour some expectations after the last two games, it will be me!

    Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything out of this contest.

    Did he do a hammy while warming up with the boys, GC?

    Likewise. It's been a depressing rainy day so this will be the cherry on the top no doubt.

    Can we take bets on when the first “ sack Goodwin post will come “.

    TBH looking at our side I just can’t see how we can win this. It is a very ordinary side, at least on paper.

    Lucky the rest of the day was so great. Sunshine, hanging out with family and friends, going out for coffee.... wait I’m in Melbourne, never mind.

    OK peeps. Let's get this over with. I trust we're all sufficiently fortified enough to endure the next couple of hours. If not then you've only yourself to blame.

    My money is on after our first turnover for the night.

    What is the real kicker is that the weather up there tonight is perfect.  Just rubbing salt in the wound.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
