One of my favourite covers of all time

Love this! Funny how you can not like a song much until you hear a superb cover of it.

    And that song Calling You from Baghdad Cafe is so good! Another film from that era was the Coen Brothers effort, Raising Arizona.

    Raising Arizona is a great move. As are most Coen Brothers movies. Fargo and No Country For Old Men are my faves.

    I always imagine, that is exactly how it would have started... some dude/dudette, with some words, on a guitar...before production.

    Pies first gamer, Irish recruit Anton Tohill is son of Anthony Tohill who played a game for us in the 90’s. He is listed as 200 cm! Interesting to see how he goes. 

    Mmmm.  So just a few games short for a father and son pick for us then - no doubt Scott would  have a public gripe though had dad play for the Cats.

    And then it usually goes south at that point.

    Not sure if I've seen that one. Will put it on the to do list for a rainy weekend.

    It’s so good! I guess lockdown’s not all bad: you get the opportunity to discover new stuff to watch.

    Just watched a few minutes only as I really DGAF re the result.  (We need to only think  of winning our games and ignore the rest, given that we are still currently on top.  Any other mindset will lead to another season of MFCSS disappointment).

    Has the distance required for a mark been reduced to 8 meters, without the public being informed?  And holding on after a mark is apparently now ok. 
     

    7 commentary again awful.  “Was that deliberate? Oh, didn’t go out??”

    Correction - 4 meters, it seems.

    Just watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics, like so many other events without crowds it just isn’t the same. Plus the amount of people involved it makes it look like it’s a dress rehearsal. Feel sorry for those involved, their opportunity at being a part of something special and it’s (yet another thing) ruined by the pandemic.

    Such an upbeat Ceremony. Great to see a nod to macrame at the start

    I swear to god I’m losing the will to live watching this opening ceremony. And then the other option is watching Port vs Pies. 
    Life is so hard.

    I wonder what the Japanese theme for the torch lighting will be?  Kamikaze pilot??

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
