    Bex (compound analgesic) Bex was a strong compound analgesic which was popular in Australia for much of the twentieth century. It came in the form of APC (aspirin–phenacetin–caffeine) tablets or powder, containing 42% aspirin, 42% phenacetin, plus caffeine.

    The phenacitan was an anti-inflammatory as I recall that killed off kidneys (and thus sometimes their owners) and was banned maybe in the 1960s

    Well that’s a bit boring, I reckon the all-suffering Dees supporter would need something a little stronger.

    You don’t look well mate. You may well be coming down with something. It just wouldn’t be right to potentially cross-infect young children. Best to just stay home.

    ....I like it...won’t somebody think of the children!

    It’s my sons 1st birthday which I organized the party for 1:30 start, I never checked the fixture I just assumed we were playing tomorrow, so I will have to catch replay later 

    Ouch. Touché mate.

    My Filth supporting father took me to this game as an 8 year old. I still remember it like yesterday , we were standing at the last q Dees scoring end with the handful of Dees supporters. He’d oblige my support of the Dees by occasionally taking me to non-Filth Dees games. 

    My old man would disappear for most of the quarters to sink beers and leave me to my own devices. But even he was glued to the contest in the last q and jumped around like crazy with the other Dees fans when we got up. 

    He even got me to hang my scarf out the window as we made our escape down Mt Alexander road! 

    Thanks dad, that one game made up for the years of childhood trauma of being dragged to Victoria Park every other weekend!

    Ugh. Today I’m attending a 3rd birthday party with the family. Starts at 1.00. Goes for 3 hours. It’s at a kids play centre. 

    Thankfully the Dad is a Dogs fan. I’m hoping we can hatch a plan to somehow watch the game. Then again, wouldn’t want to spoil his kids’ birthday party by souring his mood! 

    Sigh, looks like DLand game Day thread followed by replay tonight again.

    Just finished watching the game. Holy sheep s**t! A few observations:

     

    Don's Lollies - Couldn't help but notice the hedonistic amount of confectionery in the Adelaide coach's box. Pyke had a massive bowl of lollies right next to him; open bags of snakes, jelly babies and other sugary, artificial fruit items strewn over the desk. All before the first bounce. Talk about thinking you've 'got the lollies' before the game's even started. His early sugar high then descended into a messy comedown by 3 quarter time, the diabetic hallucinations riddling his brain as he tried to stare into the players' souls. All to no avail. Ease off the lollies, Don. 

     

    Hand Job - Man, how good were Hogan's lightning hands today? Might have had a few private lessons from Clarry. Impressive.

     

    Work For It - One image that stuck out to me in the first quarter was that of Hunt and Pedo doing running exercises during the game. This sums up the current mentality of the club for me. Kick back, watch the game in front of a fan and cheer on the lads? Nah, go and run laps and prove you're going to bust the friggin door down like Jack Nicholson with an axe if you want to get a game. Ruthless. 

     

    Nice Try - To the marketing/comedic genius in the crowd with the dodgy hand-written banner hanging on the fence reading 'Jesse Hogan - come to Freo': poor effort. At least wait till we play the Dockers. Or not beating up on teams by a bazillion points. Or not when he's still contracted for a further 18 months. Jackass. 

     

    Shut Up - To he clown in the crowd (or was it on the PA as a 'crowd engagement'?) squawking like a crow after every Adelaide goal: stop it, you're embarrassing yourself. Clown and/or club

     

    The Big Sticks - I love how we're bucking the current AFL-wide trend of missing goals. Innovative. 

     

    Keeping Up Appearances - A poster on the Game Day thread commented that they thought Viney has put on a few kegs. That could be true, but I tell you its his haircut. He's trimmed away the boyish longer locks to a more meat-and-potatoes, I'm a captain, get-the [censored]-outta-my-way, Sergeant Hartman kinda look. Hard ass. 

     

    Trying to Pick BOG - Good luck. 

     

    What a friggin awesome moment in time for our club. Start dreaming a bit people, [censored] is getting real.

    Is it just me, or does the singing of the song speed up a little bit more every season and make it lose all impact?

    The boys can't even enjoy it any more because none of them can take a breath!

    Slow it back down lads!

    Totally agree with this. And the friggin ‘yews’ in every gap of the verse. Goes for all teams. There ought to be a singing/chanting coach brought in.

    i really hate to say it, but the blues the other week nailed their song- proper tempo and no ‘yews’. 

    Our boys have to lift

    Don’t care how much we win by. 

    I am expecting a 4 Quarter 100% effort. 

    This “away” game is an atrocious situation, in front of how many people?

    Meanwhile our 100,000 seat home plays host to somebody else, yet again

    The only way we can bring the Demons back to Melbourne is to win, so that we simply out grow these ca$h grabs

    The G is empty today, SWYL!
