    I slept in, had 4 hours in the garden, followed by 4 hours to myself to do nothing but flick between Demonland and the live footy, fish 'n chips for dinner, and now a nice Heathcote region shiraz.

    Feeling good.

    And I got to watch some Bomber v Giants and see the final score.

    The English language in all its beauty does not hold enough words to describe the jubilation of seeing the Bombers annihilated. I hate them more than Greta Thunberg hates petrol cars, plastic bags and rational thinking. 

    Long may they suffer and rot.

    And now I am feeling very, very good.

    Sounds like my day with Mrs RFS away. Except change fish and chips to Chinese and the Shiraz to a lovely Clare Valley Reisling.

    Let's hope tomorrow holds as many pleasures with a good win!

    It's actually a very old footy expression that was laughingly asked of a teammate (usually the full-forward) about how he'd prefer the footy to be delivered for a chest mark - laces in or laces out?

    "Laces out" was preferred because it was easier to mark and didn't bruise the flesh.  It essentially means a perfect kick that hits the target exactly as planned.

    is it really?? wow i figured it was a punter’s grid iron term only. 

    thanks for the info!

    I have heard that now you mention it, but it's a myth spread by those who wish to discredit Lay Szout and his contribution to the game of futebahren..

    Saw a tweet that said Albo should declare a public holiday when Essendon win a final 😂

    More chance of a state holiday I think as Dan supports Essendon. Although he'd he'd need to win at least another three terms for it to happen.

    If Geelong lose, next week will be only the second meaningless game they have played since 2006 (the last game of 20-5, when they were out of finals contention, is the only other one).

    Remarkable. 

    Would love to see it happen.

    Which game is going to be better to watch, Saints/Geelong or Adelaide/Sydney? Can't decide.

    Going to be a real bunfight in R24 for the 5-8 scraps.

    Yep. No gloves, no grippo, no oil. Like the ancient Greeks did it, but with more clothing.

    I distinctly remember hearing the saying back in the 70's and it might have started then (or perhaps it goes back a long way)

    So it's at least 50 years old and I reckon the connection relates to the leading full forward and those who passed to that player in that position

    Do you recall when it commenced?

    *apologies - nor do I! - my point was - it was done in a context where they would have felt it was relevant - many seasons before the current seasons, thus no idea it was a 'tight' season.

    Don’t apologise. I don’t know either! I tried to google it but I know it’s been a 2 year deal for the last few deals so I can assume it’s been made since we won the flag.

    It’s apparently worth 600k a year. It’s a lot of money. I just absolutely hate it. We are the Melbourne side and I feel like everyone else gets precedence over our town. We should be doing everything we can to associate our club with Melbourne, and the MCG.

    Anyways, will be interesting to see if it comes to an end, or if we still need to do it given we are debt free. 👍

    Carlton coming off two hard close games. GWS off a training run with Green rested in the last quarter. Good luck to Carlton.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
