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 ?

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?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
