    That is reserved for the native Canadian wildlife we refer to as a moose.

    Heard Eric Bana state that he was one of the few not to have witnessed a Saints flag and would place it above winning and oscar. It was a lovely gesture of support from him and filled me with admiration but  there are plenty of us that have had our lifes scarred through our demon allegiance. While I am qualifying for a pension this year I have not been able to appreciate the glory of attending a premiership victory.

    Our glory years were when I was a child in the country and had to play out our victorious moments on the front lawn listening to the radio. I will always remember Bluey Adams, Barass, Lord, etc from that time, while equally and probably better skilled players are wallowing without that pinnacle of achievment

    I have been to more grand finals of other teams than I have Melbourne and frankly am getting sick and tired of being an irrelevancy. I hope that our current group can develop  a more sustainable model. Perhaps they need to be reminded of how many Eric Bana's we have.

     

    I know that does lead itself into some inexusable banana repartee but go for it

    Your pension admission also qualifies you for a position, dp, in the geriatricity ladder I'll be putting together once 20,000 has been passed. And quite a high one at the moment, too!

    Earlier this year , before and during the NAB there was much conjecture , harrowing and MFCSS-ing , obsessing , no/yessing about what may or may never occur.

    e thought ( some of us) bring on the Footy season and something of substance to grasp a hold of. Something we can talk about that was real, as it was happening afore us.

    It IS the season proper and there's still just as much worrying about the peripheral or non existent as ever.

    Who was it  ....  The more things change the more they stay the same :rolleyes:

    Your posts normally suggest that you are an intelligent, thoughtful, and personable chap. Have you taken leave of your senses?

    French is derived from Roman times and Latin as you know, similar to other languages such as Spanish and Italian. French is the language of love good man. It is also the language of diplomacy, science, literature and philosophy. Peasants do not speak French. They speak dialect or indeed speak in few words. Similar to the peasants here particularly those that gather in tribes to watch the Tigers and the Magpies or in SA, Port Adelaide. We also have a few here on Demonland, but who will not be named as we know who they are. Also I value my neck given the importance of the mind body connection. Although, I have to say there are a lot of headless people in these illiterate times of Kali Yuga. For those wanting to find out about Kali Yuga consult Google. The French along with the Indians know all about Kali Yuga. However, I am getting distracted from the main point of my post.   

    I will be reporting your outrageous and frankly obscene comments to the Academie Francaise. I hope you are not planning a trip to France anytime soon. 

    If I was planning to make love to a beautiful woman, I would want her to whisper sweet nothings in French. Remember Francois Hardy "only you can do it". Yes I know that is English. But lost in translation of course, for the French words are beautiful....que vous pouvez le faire...... and the grunts even better! Knee trembling stuff Moon. 

    I suggest you go to Alliance Francaise and then we can converse in French just to raise the tone of posts on this site.

    As yes, French is a sophisticated language. However, I do not enjoy it in a Celine Dion song.

    French is a lousy language according to George Bush, who famously said, " the problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
