Thank you so much, Jules. 💕 

Re names, my non-footy-loving son said how about NOT ALL Demons-related names? How about at least one non-Demons name? I said sure, I actually have one in mind. I told him the name. He said “Maisie, yeah I like that name!”
I’ll let him believe it’s Maisie until he ever sees it written and discovers it’s Maysie. 😁

So defs (😁) a cleverly-disguised 'Daisie', too?

    Hetty the Hen. 🤔 Sounds like a poor man’s Chicken Little character. But thanks all the same, T. 😘

    Any roosters to look after the baby girls, @WalkingCivilWar?

    Though we live in times, hopefully, that Gregory could identify freely.

    (I see you're ready to contemplate new names, WCW, but apologies if this turn to (gentle) humour is too soon in your grief...)

    No apology needed. 🙂I wasn’t  expecting it, but coming back to DL has helped immensely. Besides, who ever knows when “too soon” becomes “soon enough” if ever?

    As for roosters, I’m not permitted to keep any (city council by-law) in suburbia. This is purely because of the crowing. So, my girls are as *pure as the driven snow. 😁

    *except for that period of six months during which time an escaped peacock would visit mine daily and would be very frequently caught in the act of mounting my OG hen (JH) who actually didn’t seem to mind at all. True story.

    Still the best line coach around though.

    • 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.
