Yes praise be to Demonland.

We are back bigger than ever and we are all invited to BBO’s manor, to watch the draft and see if we trade up, or take two future champions and another good player in Brown. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on Kynan.

See how I put some footy discussion into my post. I think we all need to do that here and there, to remain on the footy thread.

WJ and I were discussing today whether we use a rookie spot on a mature ruckman for a year or so, any thoughts?

PS: can’t wait to celebrate with a banana daiquiri.

Go Footy!!!

I’m watching Erin Phillips in her last match. The most decorated player in the league and she just kicked her first goal for the day which is also the last goal of her career. The home crowd at Alberton went nuts. She’s an absolute champ. Of course I wouldn’t be so glowing in my praise if Port weren’t second last on the ladder. 😁 GO DEES!!!

It seems Red is also heading to other parts of the world to talk to other red and blues parties discussing heads of house. 
 

He is not happy Albo did not have an audience when he visited the USA. 

I come from the state of bananas, but recently in Singapore had two of the nicest bannanas ever. Anyone else had good overseas banana experiences?

Redleg’s tip for the cup, if Vauban runs to his best he will win easily, with daylight to second.

It is a big IF of course.

Remember Gambling is addictive.

Only 2 weeks to the draft, oh the nerves.

If there is a low weighted horse that has run the distance before, that is always a good roughie.

Their loss, it is the biggest, most posted, most read, longest lasting and best thread ever on DL, never causing a problem either and yet for some reason there is this desire to end it.

Football is discussed, yet it is put on a general discussion board.

It's the biggest load of bs, trivia and wasted time. 

Best thread ever.

Looked at the field and all the odds.

Shortest is $4.40 and the longest at around one fiffty$.

With a field of only 24, has any one worked out the permutations of backing every horse?

There's usually a long shot that gets a place.

Calling all DL math wizards.

Put simply, if you put a dollar to win on every horse, you need a winner at 24 to 1 or better, to make a profit. 

I know someone who says she has backed the winner every year. She backs every horse in it.

Funny!

You will have three wins if you back each one for a place.( First is also considered a place, I think). Hopefully altogether they pay more than 24 dollars.

Just flicking through Fox . There's a programme called " Dr Pimple Popper" !

Could someone please explain this to me in a way that doesn't make me feel more vomitus than I am at the moment.

it's a story about a beautiful princess who falls in love with a dashing banana ...

Anyone else watching the cricket? Angelo Mathews was just given for “timed out.”  I’ve never seen that before. He was more surprised than anyone.

Yeah the commentators just said it’s the first time this has happened in International Cricket.

It’s just not cricket! 🧐

Looks weird on the scorecard…

Was that to do with the time it took to get out to the middle, after a wicket fell?

no. once out there he has 2 min to face a ball

he went well over, claiming his helmet strap was broken and needed a new one

umps, (influenced by the afl cartel) didn't buy it

No Daise, a batsman only has two minutes starting from the fall of the previous wicket to him facing up. Of course, you see it all the time where a batsman takes a bit longer than two minutes but it isn’t an issue. It’s up to the captain of the fielding side to make an appeal to the umpire, which is something I’ve never seen happen. There’s some bad blood between these two sides which is probably why Shakib appealed. The umpire had no choice but to give him out.

It’s actually 3 minutes.

But what’s a minute between friends?

Whatever it is , it's worse than getting out than handled ball or hit wicket. 

How do you explain it to your teammates. Oh wait you probably did while you were playing poker with them at the time.

I'm looking forward to the finals but I really think India already have it won. They have an exceptional bowling line up.
