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...

ahhh the great Douglas Adams. Don't forget your towel...

"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.

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?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
