TBH, it’s actually my new hobby. Seriously, there’s comedy Gold in this thread. 

It has become essential reading for 1000’s. I think at one stage it had a higher readership than the Harry Potter 📚 books.

I see it as a vehicle for spreading truth, in a world of misinformation.

Hmmm 🤔 define “truth”

Speaking of definitions I can now say with confidence that I will NOT go to my grave not knowing the definition of “mention” thanks to your good self. 😁

"Truth" are the words that come from my mouth and keyboard.

* Admittedly, that stage was before JK Rowling released the first of the Harry Potter series.

First Harry Potter book published 1997 and this thread started in July 2011.

Pity I didn’t get royalties, like  JK Rowling.

In other words, the Harry Potter series had sold millions of books as well as numerous other sources of finance including a number of movies and you think this thread was more popular?

To the devotees and fans of this thread, there is no doubt it is more popular than Harry Potter.

PS: If you do like Harry Potter, all the movies are being shown currently on Foxtel.

My Grand daughter got me into Harry and the crew. I really enjoyed them.

I’m up to page 10 of reading this thread, and while it’s captivating (at the very least) I don’t know if I can read on. I just saw this post, looked at the date and realised what upcoming match was being referenced. 😞

Not sure I can stomach reading the next (hopefully only a couple) of pages.

I was worrying unnecessarily. There are only three comments posted after the game and one of them was ‘Jaded no more’ (but when still ‘Jaded’) referring to wine as salvation. 😄  Then no more posts for a fortnight thereafter.  
I daresay the post-match thread from that day would be an entirely different story. 😑
Anyways, I’m only 12 pages in and the price of bananas has  already dropped from $14.99 per kilo to $9.99. So there’s that.

You do realise WCW that, as you work your way through this momentous tome, there will be regular testing of its philosophical content, moral implications and how it advances one's understanding of life itself.

Sub standard performance may require penance at The Manor.

And by penance you do mean 10 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys. Right?

Errr ...... not precisely ...... although your religious reference is apt WCW. Think more along the lines of religious penance in the Middle Ages ( you can exclude burning at the stake).

I’d be put into Stocks and be subjected to villagers throwing rotten fruit at me??? 
I’d sooner go the burning at the stake option. Over and done with in no time, and zero humiliation. 😑

I look in the mirror to shave or brush my teeth and see a club member of the Premiership AFL team. Gee, I suddenly look and feel better than I have in the past.

You should post that over on that thread pushing for 100 pages, Red😄

Anyone else got a COVID face like mine? We only get about 2/3 of that well-identified feeling then, Red, but it's still mighty fine.

Funny you should say that, Tim. I’ve been reading this thread from the very beginning (yeah, I know, I really need to take stock of my life) and it appears this thread was created, in part, as a place where there’s no mention of “you know who.”  The one with  the initials Tom Scully. Those initials again… TOM SCULLY. There are posts lamenting that “that other thread” which I assume is dedicated to TS, has more pages and how there’s a need to catch up. Ten and a half years and 1081 pages later, here we are. 😁

Ban yourself from Demonland for 24 hours. You mentioned the unmentionable and even worse, on the very thread where the unmentionable is specifically banned from being mentioned.

I hope I don't have to mention this again.

This is a serious offence.

I hope you feel sufficiently chastened.

Could not agree more Mr. Leg, it is interesting to note that while other threads on Demonland have dropped to a crawl the mighty banana thread carries on regardless. The cream always rises to the top!

Not mine, WCW (when you read this after 24 hours' banishment...) - I was referring to the Post GF thread, homing in on 100 😁

 

p.s. And, yes, you really do need to!😠

 

Nah, just kidding 😄

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
