Please explain. Does Ed Langdon (surely you don't mean Eddie McGuire) have a business which involves coffee?

Yep. Definitely Lingers and his bro.

Yes, premium instant coffee apparently. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Au contraire.  Just think of instant coffee as a completely different beverage rather than a poor imitation.  Then quality matters.

It's called Lay Day or something. I've had it once. For instant coffee it's excellent and I would definitely take it bushwalking where weight and space is at a premium. It's very expensive though. I haven't bought instant coffee for decades, so not sure the relative cost.

I watched the first half and Bedford was good. Had to go out and saw the scores so didn’t bother with the 2nd half. I presume he dropped off in the 2nd half?

The whole team did. Bedford retains his spot.

Here is the Langdon boys website for coffee. You can order from the website

Great interview from Goodwin there, explained what happened very well. 

Ross Lyon was just recently bemoaning the fact that clubs could not make their players do anything substantive when not training or playing football. He claims when he was coach, he wanted every player to either be studying or working part-time. I can recall when Peter Rohde was coach of the Bulldogs he also required it of every player.

Do we know whether all our players are working or studying part-time? Langdon has his coffee business (and, I think, is studying Commerce), Brayshaw and Tomlinson are studying. Who else? And what are they doing?

I was speaking to a well known author who wrote a book with Gawny last year, and he also wrote the Tigers premiership books. He was saying the expectations on the players time is really intense, and it shifts and changes every week depending on game times.

I imagine it’s very difficult to do anything too structured that you can’t control during the season.

Which is a step up from Petracca who keeps robbing Brighton houses and selling items to Cash Converters

I know of a few...

Max Gawn owns East End Wine Bar: https://eastendwinebar.com/

James Harmes owns Fat Nutt Customs:  https://fatnutt.com/

Jack Watts owns Skwosh: www.skwosh.com.au

The most successful is probably Thomas Bugg with his "Zooz" Influencer marketing business: https://www.zooz.com.au/

Dom Tyson owns Clutch & Co with his brothers: https://www.clutchandco.com.au/

Joel Macdonald, Rowan Bail and James Strauss started LiquorRun, an alcohol delivery start up business but I don't think it exists anymore. 

Matt Jones and Max Gawn had a furniture business called Max Jones Co but it may have been a joke. 

And Bayley Fritsch is a sparky:

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
