What I want to know, is why Goody always wears visors, surely a cap is the more SunSmart option for a man with a shaved head.

Asking the important questions as we cap the year off.

I don’t know why Goody wears the visor, but I bought one earlier this year and what I wanna know is why did it cost $40?! It’s effectively half a cap, shouldn’t it be half the price, or at least, cheaper?

But wait, there’s more! I once slept with *10 DA members at the same time. Throw in a Board member for good measure, and what a night! Did you suspect that????

 

*it was Sleep at the ‘G so technically I slept with 800 people at the same time. 😅

And here's me thinking I was your only one @WalkingCivilWar. #Heartbroken Xmas

When it was at Maroochydore was it at the Maroochydore multi sports complex ?

I played there in a Masters carnival in October it’s a great facility with six or so ovals with a carpet like surface

Its humid but so is Brisbane Alice and Darwin and there is warm water surf and golf for recreation 

no offense to Lorne but I know where I’d be going!

 

Yeah, Apollo Bay runs rings around Bloody overrated Lorne!

Mmmmm…lorne 😋

The Lorne sausage, also known as square sausageor slice, is a traditional Scottish food item made from minced meat, rusk and spices.[1] Although termed a sausage, no casing is used to hold the meat in shape, hence it is usually served as square slices from a formed block. It is a common component of the traditional Scottish breakfast.

And is MAGNIFICENT! Robs English butchery in Dandenong I can mightily recommend for this and all meats English, Scottish, and Eire🤪

Yours truly was invited for a training camp for the Dees U19s at Lorne in the Summer of 90/91. I was just 18.

I stupidly chose to get hammered with my friends instead.In Lorne.

I was fit enough but I just never thought I was skilled enough to make it.

I had played against Hopgood and Lovell and Stuart Maxfield that year and went OK.

Their footskills were miles ahead.

I was probably fitter than all of them.

But I chose to party.

Silly Biffen.

I don't eat much meat it has to be said PF but a slice or two of square sausage occasionally with a bit of HP sauce is lovely. There's also a wee butcher in Sunbury that does shell pies and haggis as does David Jones in the city. Go easy though if you're planning on being around for our next flag as you can feel your arteries furring up as you eat the stuff.

Hope he does go from Saiyan to a super Saiyan powers this year. Watched the whole Z series with my son back in the day. Weird but interesting show with its emphasis on food and underwear names. Go blonde Kossie!

Gee I love how this club bends over backwards for its supporters! I mean did the Club advertise this move, did I miss the email? I have a family holiday house at Anglesea, if I knew I could have organised to drop in for a look. Oh but I guess the nature of the ground at Lorne means that they can’t lock out fans, so best to not tell anyone.

When I told you that you were my only one, you didn’t let me finish the sentence. I actually said, “you’re my only one… of many.” 😁

Yes Dino it was at the Maroochydore sports complex. 

Wish they still came up here as it was good to go and watch them  but as usual things change.

Interesting comment …I certainly knew as did friends who live in Lorne and went along. Can’t quite remember where I read/heard it but was on a social media format. Maybe on the Members forum where all the “heirarchy “ spoke ?


One of the great ovals to watch footy from - the view is amazing.

Went to a local match there this season - the surface was like a goat track, hope they’re taking it easy!

You mean some of the MFC Strategic Plans when you say that.

Lorne seems an odd place to choose for a camp. Crappy oval apart from the view, variable windy weather, cold water. Sport facilities zero. Plenty of good bushwalking perhaps and hill runs. Maybe the team is bonding over nice meals at some of the new restaurants, although the pizzas on Erskine River are good. 
Are they saving dosh for the legal costs and future settlements coming from the various actions from disgruntled executives and board members ? 
I don’t know but the PR is not looking good despite all the talk about culture and professionalism. The footy can’t come soon enough!

The world is still inhabited by plenty of animals and even some that are not human.

They’re only there for two nights. Don’t think it’s supposed to be a gruelling off season camp more of a shake up and get out of Melbourne for a couple days. Pies went there last December and ended up having a pretty good year. Now they’re having their ‘camp’ in Morwell

I can picture a Biffen party: Pymms and cucumber sandwiches. OH, then a glass of Pinot. Swank!

Was that a work of fiction about flatulence?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
