  1. I think big Benny already has two records at Melbourne. Most games (13) and most goals (25) in jumper #50.
  2. I downloaded the app but then was totally confused about what to do. Ended up deleting the app. It’s harder for us old folk.
  3. I just thought a professional market research firm could see the flawed methodology. Maybe I went wrong when I thought “professional”. 😀
  4. Expected better from Roy Morgan.
  5. Good one. I started out wanting to speak fluent French. Then it slipped to making do. I thought of teaching 70 million French people to speak English but gave that up too. Now like you, I just speak English with a French accent.
  6. Some of you know I’ve had a number of health issues to deal with over the last couple of years. I saw my heart specialist today and all is good. We were speaking French (as best I can) and I could swear he said “your heart beats true”.
  7. Fritter by a mile.
  8. Does the club offer a special deal to those MCC members? Or do they have to pay the same as everyone else?
  9. Somewhere between 1 and 74,000. I’m certain of 1 because I’ve already signed up.
  10. He’s definitely one of them. But he might soon be behind Petracca, who has many more years to contribute. (With respect to Fritter, I just wish Trac wore the #31.)
  11. What a week! I got the all clear from my kidney doctor
 kidney function back and dialysis no longer a threat. I sold our house for a profit, which is unheard of in rural France. And, if you hadn’t already heard, MY TEAM WON THE PREMIERSHIP!
  12. Remember him fondly in his 26. In fact, he holds our record for games in that number. RIP Greg.
  13. We won the Premiership after missing the final the previous year. Surely that’s rare. Does anyone know when that last happened?
  14. Ok, you got me. When I go to the local bar, i wear this Tee shirt and work my way across. (It’s how I get my five fruit and veg per day.) But they don’t have the footy today.
  15. ThĂ© game starts at 11:15 am for me. I’ve never developed a taste for morning alcohol but I’ll start at half time. Here’s the plan
 If we’re well in front at half time I’ll have a rosĂ© or three. If it’s very close, I’ll go for white. And if we’re in trouble, red. If we’re so far behind we can’t win it, I’ll opt for Spirytus Vodka.
  16. Never been so nervous in my life!
  17. Proving harder than I thought
 In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" There is immense diversity within each variety of cheese, leading some to claim closer to anywhere between 1,000 to 1,600 distinct types of French cheese. I’m going to need a bigger cheese board.
  18. We’re only 500 km apart! Drop in any time.
  19. Bonsoir from France. I don’t think there are other Demon supporters near me, but that hasn’t stopped me from flying the scarf in the car, putting that little membership sticker on the number plate and wearing the MFC cap whenever I go out. Plus I’m wearing the jumper around the house. Big screen awaits. Just need the cheese platter. 😀 Vive les DĂ©mons.
  20. I gave our Roomba a pretty solid workout this afternoon.
  21. You could anything you want from that video.
  22. Didn’t feel a thing in France, other than THE ENTIRE NATION HATING US FOR THE POOR HANDLING OF THE SUBMARINE CONTRACT.
  23. Hi DeeDJ. Welcome and thanks for posting the article. Hope you enjoy Demonland as much as I do.
