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.

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

    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.

    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.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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.
