I drink strong decaf myself. You’d be surprised how good decaf is these days. As for 7/11 coffee!!!! Are you sure you’re a Melbourne supporter?

Well at least it has caffeine in it! Are you sure you’re a coffee drinker?!

True, but I've found St.Agnes are producing some great drops locally, Snap.

I have to endorse Old's recommendation. The 15 yr old XO is lovely.

Sorry Uncle, I'll put up with the wrath.

do you drink it or collect it?

Drink. Stuff collecting. I have no kids to leave it to for inheritance and even if I did I’d still drink it. Life’s short, enjoy it!

Believe it or not some of what makes clubs now big or otherwise has to do with Melbourne's geography. Richmond was not a wildly successful club early in the competition when Collingwood was racking up premierships at will but it was a big suburb full of small working class cottages filled with large Catholic families - the genesis of the Tiger Army.

North by contrast is a small suburb with plenty of industrial/warehouse areas taking up space so an even smaller population, and in football club terms is sandwiched between Carlton and Essendon, both successful early in the VFL. So it's always had a smaller base and more attractive clubs surrounding it. Add to that it was late to the VFL and had literally no success - played in one losing grand final in its first 50 years in the League and you have the recipe for North today.

On a personal note I would that its [censored] colours also contribute to its lack of appeal. I mean really, washed out sky blue, and white(!). Contrast that to, I don't know say a deep, blood red and a dark, almost black navy blue, those are colours you can get around.

The lack of a name suburban base was always offered as a major reason for Melbourne not having a bigger following when it was ruling the roost.

I find this stuff really INTERESTING!😀
