With filtered ice and a drop of water, all whiskies are ripper, in their own ways.

    Definitely going to have to try this. I'm all about the Pinot/red wine casks.

    Been meaning to join the Whisky club for years. More than happy to get a decent whisky each month for reasonable $. 

    You can opt out each month too. We do t get them every month but occasionally get a real nice bottle as an add in.

    to bring it back to the topic at hand...

    • With no proper chf
      May, lever and Tomlinson are going to destroy larkey and get a intercept mark record

     

    • Clarko's first squad since returning, and the following things are notable:
      • Cunnington in
      • Turner not dropped (at least not immediately - still listed in squad)
      • McDonald and Stevenson still named as starting on the field
      • Not that it matters greatly, but Sheezel named in the Centre is interesting
      • Tucker named in the forward line - believe that might be a first?
      • No Cooper Harvey
    • Anyone that pays attention to where people are named on the field is an [censored]. People who actually have the ability to pay attention know we do stupid things like name Powell at CHB. Its all cause our media department run a weekly comp to name the team, so we make the correct answer obscure. But you know, anyone with such a great ITK that tells you Noble wasn't getting sacked right before he got sacked would know what the club actually does.
    • 40 points is just about party time territory. Last time we played these lads, in a 90 point loss, I high fived a bloke in front of me who was the only North fan in a Godees entourage. We were both delighted at everyone's fury that the margin ended up being under 100. Only time I'll ever be content with such a ****house performance
       

    gotta say, love that last one - i remember feeling like that just a decade or so ago!

    On the roos equivalent of dl, there's probably a very meta thread about the what they are saying arden st thread on dl that has devolved into a thread about high end whiskey, which as they rightly suggest could only happen on mfc related forum.

    Further to this… last night Sophie (one of our three AMAZING leaders) told me that in 2013 if we lost a match by anything under five goals the cheer squad would sing the song. 😢

    In that era I would consider anything under a 10 goal loss as a moral victory.

    Fast forward to round seven this year and some Demonlanders were upset that we beat North by ONLY 90 points!!! 🙃

    Both of those do not exist… only whiskey with the e comes from Ireland or the US iirc, Japan and Scotland it’s whisky. It’s to do with the grains used. See, learning is fun with whisky! 😃😃😄😄

    Talisker for me

    Although if I'm going to nurse a fair few,  a good speyside malt like the Balvenie is hard to go past

    Love the Speyside single malts. 

    Do yourself a favour and get on the Macallan 12 y.o sherry cask. Sweetness.

    For sure. Macallan is high class. I don't believe I've had the Shery cask but have had a few bottles over the years

    Is it bad for the stereotype that I agree with old about brandy? (Well cognac actually).

    Talisker is my clan whiskey and from loyalty to the fine folk of Skye, is difficult to sidestep when buying a bottle of scotch.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
