The title is click-bait. There is no such thing in Portugal as no-one in this country has any idea of what AFL is, although my local grocer was a former member of the Portuguese international rugby league team. Anywho, anyone travelling here in the Australian ski-season is welcome to send me a message, as I might have a place for them to stay between Cascais and Sintra. This is not one of those serial-killer scenarios which apparently helps @WalkingCivilWar get to sleep at night, and I have a heap of credits inviting other members of this forum to stay at my place in various parts of the world sans murder, while also accepting some very kind offers of hospitality in return.

    I was in Lagos and Albufeira last week. Maybe a bit early on that one… Could easily live in the Algarve though.

    Did you go home already? I just got back from Aljezur on the west coast a couple weeks ago, but then had to go to Belgium. Back in Portugal now.

    I did recruit at least three people to the MFC cause in Mozambique, a country which has remarkably seen live AFL action in the past: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-to-stage-match-in-africa-20110509-1efte.html

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
