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.

    This is certainly good news.

    From the Big Banana to the Big Oyster, Australia's 'big things' are still striving to put small towns on the map

    Can not wait for a town to be called “the big Richard”!

    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 😄

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
