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.

    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!

    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!

    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?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
