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.

    They have no concern about this game. They’re talking whiskey for gods sake. We are a joke! 😂

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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?
