Each to his own Polly. I have been known to have the odd Cognac. So far my experience is all good quality booze is nice in its own way. The only thing I cannot swallow is Sherry no matter the quality even the smell turns my stomach. Enjoy. 

Agree - a good Reposado Tequila is a fine thing.

How about the real Spanish sherry OD? I like that stuff.

    Have never tried it, I figure there are plenty of other options outside of Sherry.

    I'm a complete novice, I've only had it at good Tapas bars recommended with the food, but it's pretty good stuff.

    Same for me with Japanese and sake.

    I think it goes along with your earlier statement that if you get the right stuff it's usually good.

    Jon Ralph says, "the player, who we don't need to name..." When did the Herald-Sun find this new moral compass?

    Dreaming. Ralph doesn't know and couldn't be bothered finding out.

    Probably a request from the club. Conor McKenna wasn't treated very well last year.

    Connor McKenna actually broke rules though.

    I love a good Cognac. Currently have an excellent Hennesy XO wich is marvellous and smooth. Let's hope a celebratory snifter tonight is appropriate.

    Why does it matter who the player in question was? He did nothing wrong, and like 14,000 other people in Victoria right now has found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. 

    You want a full list of names and occupations of everyone who was at a tier 1 exposure site? 

    He must be annoyed enough that he nearly got an AFL game called off and that he now can't train or do his rehab at the club for 14 days, pushing his case for recovery back. He has suffered more than enough.

    Also don't know if it's just me but other clubs especially the Dogs had no reason at all to be mad at us. A guy has had no idea he was at an exposure site and now boneheads were mentioning forefiting if we couldn't field a team? 

    A person who I work with was at an exposure site WHILE going to get the jab. They ended up negative but should they have been punished if it wasn't? Sounds like this kind of logic was being used on SEN.

    The AFL would have never made us forfeit the game even if said player was at the nightclub at 4am. The actions of an individual, no matter how poor, cannot be held up against an entire club. Just like when the Tigers players breached quarantine hub rules last year, the club was fined and they were sent home, but nobody lost premiership points. See also Harley Bennell. 

    The player in question did nothing wrong. They were at a cafe before clubs were told to isolate all their players. We cannot punish players for having a life. They are not robots. They go into the community like everyone else, and it is not against any rules. 

    Bitter Bulldogs fans and flogs on SEN are not the people to ask about this.

    Well if Dwayne Russell really did agree with this peanut suggesting we should forefit then I hope he makes/Has made an apology for getting it wrong and spreading mis-information.

    A few samplings from their equivalent page:

    "I can highly recommend the Five Dragons. Yez can play all rows of the reels on every roll an' change the credit rate any time yez like."

    "The Lightning Cash machine at the Auburn RSL pays out jackpots more than any other machine in the joint. I should know coz I've been on the machine next to it every bloody time!"

    "If yez play Emerald Fortunes at Crown, the payout percentages are higher than any other joint in Melbourne. But don't tell no-one or they'll prob'ly fix it."

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
