Not sure if it's been noted before, but an interesting comment was made in an article on The Age website about Jac Nasser becoming chairman of BHP:

"Born in Bundaberg and a Brisbane Lions supporter, Mr Argus will hand over to Mr Nasser, a supporter of the Melbourne AFL side, early next year."

Good to have heavyweights in our corner, hope he has some involvement with the club...

Nice one Arthur. "Is there any Tea on this ship?"

"Space is Big....Really Big. You might think going to the chemist is a long way, but to space that's just peanuts!"

Douglas Adams still Rules. The '82 BBC Series is pure GOLD.

The world is about to end in 3 minutes...Isn't there anything we can do to stop it, like put a paper bag over our head or something...If you like yes....Will it help....No.

Disagree!! May well help to put a bag over our heads (or at least over Vlads for next 1 to 2 weeks). Is the answer to - How many days until we are safe regarding the PP = 42??? :wacko:

Alternatively get the Bill Highy character to come and recreate the world circa ealr 1960's with a clone of the Red Fox as coach of MFC!!

BTW in the AFL version Vlad and Adrian A see themselves as the mice!

If you look closely in that scene in the pub when the world is about to end Douglas Adams is sitting at the bar. I know, it's sad that I know that.

Yes we need SlartyBartfast to re create the Glory years!! Good call Tony.

Yes the observing mice could well be Vlad & little anderson. Most observant pick up there.

Lets watch how much cheese they devour between them on Brownlow night.

The Film is ok, But Zaphod & Marvin are so much cooler in the BBC series. I saw the Film in New York, & nobody laughed!! Idiots.

I was actually pretty happy with the film. Letting Americans produce such a masterpiece was always a scary proposition. Douglas one said that getting a movie made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a succession of people walk into a room and breath on it (or something to that effect).

Other choice DNA quotes:

"I love deadlines, I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"

"Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so"

Don't get me started, I could go on like this all day. One of the best books I've read.

One from Arthur himself "Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of."

Pity you couldn't find a Demons scarf to go with the snappy dressing gown Arthur :lol:

Am I the only one confused by this?

"Born in Bundaberg and a Brisbane Lions supporter, Mr Argus will hand over to Mr Nasser, a supporter of the Melbourne AFL side, early next year."

Don Argus is a well know Demons support so who is the Bundberg, Lion supporting fella??

How do you not understand it?

Don Argus was born in Bundaberg.

He is a Lions supporter.

He is handing over to Jac Nasser.

Nasser is a demons' supporter.

Not rocket science.

Yeh i think the problem is i know for a fact Don Argus is a demon supporter so it begs the question the reporter may of got his facts wrong or written it up wrong meaning Nasser is a lions supporter?

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
