    WOW. The past catches up with us all. Lively political discussion about the Szondy-Gutnick confrontation, a fair bit of personal abuse (where were the mods then?) and this gem from Deebest commenting on Spunjy's (now Axis of Bob) draft preview:-

    Bartel is the biggest certainty to be going to Geelong. I perhaps wonder about Del Santo at nine (Melbourne's pick). The height thing - he might be too short considering we need key positions?

    Well, history shows that we didn't take Del Santo at #9 but took Luke Molan instead and while D S might be criticised for a few aspects of his play, I don't think we should have worried about his height or lack thereof.

    And just a little quiz - in the same draft, Melbourne selected a player who went on to play in a premiership team. Who was he?

    Nah, it was that one. We moved straight from Aimoo (the setup in that snapshot) to this setup at the end of '05.

    I joined Demonland and Demonology at the same time in 2003.

    Just on the archive, checkout some of the 'political' threads there. Jeez Fan (then Deefan) was an agro bugger back then! :D

    Takes me back to stinking hot days logging onto the old bucket of bolts that was the Pentium, checking out the latest from the Oracle. Good stuff.

    (edit: oh! and i wish the Nick Gill article was archived!)

    Great pick up Rusty.

    Its a pity that when moved from Aimoo we lost the history archive there could be some real flashbacks and some embarrassing recalls.

    Good salvage nevertheless.

    Geez Anonymous was active back then.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
