    Club stated the AFL deal is a different event. And noted that the drink package included wines from our sponser Penfolds ( a couple of granges might ease the tension) anyhow get bitten once and you learn

    Unlikely...if not there's always Uncle's stash! 

    That's assuming they don't crack in the boot of the Bentleigh on the road trip up.

    If it were a Bentley I'm sure the shiraz would be well packed.  Can't risk a good shiraz!!

    Benefit of doubt to DD:  'Bentleigh' is an auctocorrect problem...

    The Uncle Bitter convoy has arrived in the fair Hamlet of Burra on route to Alice.

    The locals are very excited of course.

    I'm currently enjoying a libation at "The Burra" and , I must say the dining facilities are very pleasant (albeit rustic)!

    Tx Jaded. We've had some big names out on a consistent basis this year from round one. Hopefully the run of bad luck stops soon.

    Most teams have had key players out during the season. We've managed our players OK.

    For those that want a special experience, head out to Santa Teresa (about an hour drive on road that goes past airport, 50km of dirt but can easily do in a 2wd for a 2.30 pm start at the grass oval there.

    Hoping the overall experience provides some nice NoT$NoB$ vignettes (if not vins), Uncle - or any other B$Ters on the trek.

    The Uncle Bitter tour suffered a late arrival in Coober Pedy. 
     

    Im doing catch up drinks, so no further communication tonight!

    Any perversions to report to NoT$NoB$, UB? Your favourite tipple hard to come by up there? Or, if not, at least compromised by coming from the *shudder* fridge?

    You might presume it drains quickly ....does it ?

    Is Spargo named sub for this game?

    If he is, don't think he's a great choice as his body type and skillet is limited to a certain role. Also even in his usual role his form hasn't been great so there's that too.

    Man driving all that way is a great support effort. I hope we win just for that drive alone.

    They had an excellent local shiraz at "The Burra" .

    Overindulgence in which accounted for my late arrival in Coober Pedy.

    Surely it has to be Melky, you want an impact player not a defensive limited skillet ( My new word of the week.... Skillet)

    • 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.
