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

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
