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!

Have l opened the wrong thread???

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!!! 🙃

No but hopefully this will help from opening the wrong bottle… 😃

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! 😃😃😄😄

That (thoroughbred) horse (stabled at my Red Hill winery weekender) has well and truly bolted.

I'd really hate to be an MFC fan that gets stereotyped.

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

Brandy is superior.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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.
