Here’s the latest update from Norf. Not a lot of posts to choose from but hey ….. they’re totally [censored] up so that’s to be expected . ( Love it )

Here’s a couple of pragmatists

“I've had tickets to fly down and watch this for a while. I am annoyed that there is a footy game scheduled at Bellerive for 1:10pm on Sunday August 6th as this could detract from my brewery and distillery visits.”

There are so many better options to do on a Sunday at 12, and thus I shall indulge in them and not watch. Will be on here after to blame Mcdonald, who probably had another shocking game and shouldn’t be captain.”

The optimists

“I expect we’ll have some sort of rally.

We’ll only lose by high double figures.”

A smart [censored]

"Hopefully Melbourne feel sorry for us , forget previous history and rest some good players. Dear Dees I hope we weren’t out of line by beating you about 19 times in a row “.

This one might cause a few demonlander [censored] cheeks to tighten

“I had the usual pre game v GoDees chat with my Melbourne supporting newsagents this morning, saying “you guys will rip is a new one this week” and they came back with their usual “these are exactly the type of games we usually lose!”

They’re still scarred from being exactly where we find ourselves now, ever wary that the fall is just around the corner.”

Well well Luci, I'm sure it's easy enough for you to talk about "negotiations " !

After all, you're enjoying an indolent jet setting lifestyle while your poor old Uncle Bitters labours away tirelessly and without reward.

At least tell us where you are so we poor Demonlanders confined to icy Melbourne can at least, vicariously, enjoy the privileges of the uber ric7h!

Haha, youve had lots of appreciative plaudits from posters. 😀

'As for 'Jetsetting'.  It is very unglamorous when a booking stuff up with time zones/dates results in missing an overnight stopover thus 40+ hours en route from my home to hotel in Glasgow.  Then add lost luggage...which thankfully arrived a day later...

...as for icy Melb, midsummer Glasgow is damp and overcast just like midwinter Melb.  

On the bright side off to a Banksy exhibition shortly.  I'm guessing most d'landers will need google for that one!

Then shall enjoy travelling around Scotland for 3 weeks including a special young man's wedding, followed by a few days in Amsterdam.

Some negotiations may need to be had when i return...🙃

My advice is, avoid any suggestion of hand-to-hand combat

Thank you.

Glasgow is new for me so seeking out its quirky spots.  And its the easiest way to get to the wedding in Ayrshire.  

For a decent whisky you may need to visit Scotland!🙂

It may be Luci that while there, you can solve the perennial mystery of what is under a Scotsman's kilt.

I asked my Scottish neighbour about this and he said that there is nothing worn under his kilt.

It's all in perfect working order, apparently.

I remember my younger days along the River Spey.

Had a chat with a guy about the cost of fishing. Even then it was phenomenal with a big extra charge if you caught one.

Reminds me of an old contract for friendly navies using the US Naval gun firing range off Hawaii. So much per day but an extra $200k if you hit the target !!!  I guess you were supposed to just miss

I have an Essendon supporter mate who really hates North Melbourne.

He used to always say that North Melbourne had so few supporters that they used to bring cardboard cut outs of Trevor Marmalade (the Kangaroos supporting comedian on the old Footy Show on TV) to games so the crowds looked bigger than they actually are! 🤣

Anyway, I just hope that the Demons win down in Tasmania. But I will admit, it would be very handy to get a bit of a percentage booster and win by 10+ goals.

Don’t get too cocky Uncle remember the Master Coach is back this week! 

Bound to be 4 to 5 goals better than typical durge.

For years North were our bogey team. When we were notionally strong and they were mid table it was usually a loss.

I'm not feeling much sympathy but I can understand their pique with losing Horne Francis

 

They have PA's first pick, so we will be doing them a favour if we can chase down 2nd spot and push PA to 3rd or 4th.

Poor bastard.

Remember the times when we’d say “we only lost by five goals!” 🥳 🎉 🎈

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
