Unsurprisingly a storm in a tiny teacup 

sorry to cause any discomfort 😀

  • Demonland changed the title to ANB Corked Calf Reported on 7 News
 

The main training session is on Tuesday, so we will know then I suppose

No suspects at this stage but short, bald man with tattoos seen at the scene of the cork


A friend of mine had a corked bottle of Grange -  he was confined to his bed for a month.

Jacqueline Felgate saying Bulldogs win sets up a fairytale finish for them. Haven’t they already had their fairytale finish. I think there is another team waiting for their fairytale. 

Theirs is Rapunzal, ours is Cinderella.

My word the state of sports journalism in this country (in particular, channel 7):

1. Cribbing a Melbourne website interview with Steven May for a bit of soundbite credibility
2. Fake alarmist story based on grainy footage of a strapped calf
3. Sensationalist headlines galore (glad I didn't have to watch the story about the world number 1 women's tennis player and Wimbledon winner "crumbling")


 

Anxiety crashed in as soon as I saw the op.  I live in Canberra, where we have a different news bulletin to Victoria, and I sculled 1/2 bottle of Shiraz in the short time waiting for details.  I’ll now enjoy the remainder of the delicious‘Father’s Day’ dinner that Mrs. Deeoldfart has prepared for me.  Thanks,

It's okay, Demons are just resting Nibbler for a week to prevent him being suspended for Selwood's neck-to-the-throat fend-off and/or off-the-line-of-the-ball bump to the side of a bent over opponent's head a couple of weeks before that.

Hard to imagine Nibbler being able to focus with that much scrutiny on him.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
