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?

    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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
