If Dragon Boat is open Im happy, but it was totally empty last year and I thought it had turned its toes up. Its great for dinner. West lake is my favorite for Yum Cha at lunch as it is all hand made onsite yet not very expensive. But Dragon Boat (about the same pricing as WestLake) has a nicer dinner menu and IMV a better experience... but its not yumcha, although you can order a small range of entrees that feature on the Yumcha (lunch) menu.

    Thanks Damo, looked open online but just tried to call and the number is disconnected. I'll look into Westlake. Thanks for the tip.

    From one Molly Duker to another: Vintage Cellers is 3 doors away and Westlake charge very little for corkage. Go the Ginger Prawns, Sui Mai and the Footballs. Delicious.

    1) So they can worry about their silly song instead?

    2) His team are mostly kids who are into music, fun etc, not philosophy students.  Not sure I've heard of coaches filling player minds with achievements of a host of well known 'leaders', simultaneously.  The mantra most heard from coaches and players is "Keep It Simple'! 

    But if it works for them, great.  I just couldn't help notice the difference in coaching approaches.

    1. Sticks & stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me - but songs will 🤦🏻‍♂️
    - resiliance lacking at the kennel?
    2. KISS principle is perfect for footballers

    What do you base this on? 

    I base that on them being a very good side in 2021.

    They may well be the best side in 2022, which is a different year to 2021.

    Counterpoint: bang bang bang; premiers; they can go [bad word] themselves.

     

    GO DEMONS!!!

     

    I understand those who caution against over-confidence. We need to be focused and disciplined to win

    But let's not forget the last time we played them we smashed them by 74 points. In a grand final. We are a better all round team than they are and as long as we have our minds on the job at hand we will win this game

    Bad news for the dees on the injury front ! 

    According to Fox Footy tonight ' Tom Rivers ' is injured and won't play Wednesday night 

    That's upsetting, especially since his brother Trent is also out injured. !!!

    Has the flag raising time been announced yet?

    First sign of team selection. 

     

    • Thanks 2

    With Rivers and Petty missing from the GF side Gus’s selections are Hunt and Smith to replace them and Max has gone with Hunt and Tomlinson. This is from their ‘selection segment’ on their podcast unless there’s a left field selection. 
    Pretty obvious it would be those 3, interesting to see who misses out.

    Apparently Hunter isn't in the Doggies' side.

    Possibly practising his limbo dancing? Or driving practice/lessons? 

    Am I the only one that can't stand that bloke?

    I think it’s fair to say he’s been freed from Deesire

    Hated him from the moment he grinned like an @r$ehole WHILE milking a high free during the GF. Didn't get the last laugh though, [censored].

    A couple of things I'd like to see on Wednesday

     

    A banner in the cheers squad that says " bang, bang, bang, bang!"

    Another that says, "surely not another one"

    And for Dees to enter the field to Freed from desire, with us fans doing a great rendition from the stands

    Hunter is an insufferable, diving, smug campaigner but I also rate him pretty highly as a player. So this news makes me doubly excited.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      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.
