on a brighter note, have a good feeling Liam will let loose tomorrow night

hoping Jeremy Howe will too

i can see your logic here redleg

i wouldn't be disappointed to see aaron get a run (if fit enough)

he's too good a player not to be given a chance and he might have been carrying an injury earlier in the year

he's one of the few genuine game breakers we have and saturday's conditions should suit him fine

Sorry DC I do not agree with you.

I think this is a problem that has been with the Dees for too long.

Guys like AD have to learn to earn their spot.

IMO he has not done that all year before the injury.

It is not as though he has only been out of a week or two.

Again IMO we have been let done all year by our more senior players.

Don't drop a kid for him.

Let him play at Casey this weekend and get some fitness and touch back.

 

I think the poor guy is addicted to that thread.

Try as he might he cannot kick it!

I know how he feels I have a similar problem with single malt.

but I am not really trying to kick that one!

come on rpfc grit your teeth and don't click on you know what.

I just can't do it.

I'm not strong enough.

I post, OD. So posters like you, DC, and Redleg don't have to.

I'm doing it for you.

Don't drop a kid for him.

Let him play at Casey this weekend and get some fitness and touch back.

I agree, let him find his feet at Casey, same as all other injuries coming back.

I really don't have much to contribute here but I thought I would just add to the thread......

and I can see your logic too old dee

however we need to get Aaron back in form and I thought Darwin being his home town might provide the right spark

yeah I know he probably doesn't deserve it and we need to send messages to senior players etc

This is probably the most controlled thread I've ever seen on Demonland...

Posting in here from now on.

Ricky Petterd will kill it Saturday night.

I just can't do it.

I'm not strong enough.

I post, OD. So posters like you, DC, and Redleg don't have to.

I'm doing it for you.

[censored] off rpfc (in the nicest possible way)

this is our haven....look it up in the dictionary

if no-one posted in that 'other thread' there'd be just a little less bs in the world

a typical addiction line rpfc.

It can be done ,Think of other things

Not sure but I think I started getting bored at about 8-10 episodes and stopped watching. Hopefully you will hang in there longer.

Don't want to shock anyone but I haven't seen a Harry Potter movie or read one of the books. Tonight I taped two HP movies on foxtel but note that they are pretty recent. Will I ruin it if I watch the later movies without seeing the earlier ones?

PS. I believe that in one of the books, Harry is made a huge offer by a new school to enrol with them and leave his schoolmates of the last 2 years. No one knows if Harry will leave as he said he will leave it until the end of the school year to decide. His current school has made an offer to keep him, which includes a new desk and bigger food serves in the school tuck shop, but that is way below the offer made by the new school, which includes a chauffeur driven ride to school each day and an exemption from Maths and Physics for the whole year. Apparently the education department is doing everything they can to get Harry to move and it is really pissing off his schoolmates. They have started a blog and are up to 60 pages of posts. The suspense is driving everyone mad. Some people think they know what he is doing while others are insisting they don't. Even the local paper, radio and TV have got in on the act. Can't wait until we find out at the end of the book.

PPS. Apparently the new school is in a crap neighbourhood where no one would know Harry and it is far from his family. Now the education department has said they will compensate Harry's old school if he goes with a new library book but the school will no doubt want at least 2 books.

I suggest mowing with the grain it makes for a nice look.

Great advice. Also its best to pick up the dog droppings before mowing - especially in Winter.

hahaha wait till you see the Hogwarts neighbourhood

but seriously, I'd watch at least the first movie before watching later ones


id buy yourself a copy of the hobbit and the lord of the rings and read them instead

Oh god no.

That would drive a very stable person to drink.

Harry is much better read!

Ever now and then Demon17 you have to spit into the wind.

More news in Harry Potter land. The education department has now said that Harry can't receive the gifts even though another school is giving their star pupil the same sort of gifts. Even someone outside the school is banned from giving him the gifts. Latest news is that a headmaster at another school is being replaced by his deputy headmaster but he still wants to be headmaster and may change schools. The president of his school council is running around trying to stir up trouble with all of the other schools so that people don't concentrate on his school. The education department is really stuffing up the education system.

Went for a walk this morning and it was foggy and cold and I was freezing. By the time I was coming back home the sun was out and I was boiling. You have got to love that Melbourne weather, it's so much nicer than the weather they have in Blacktown.

pffft, LOTR is a masterpiece!

Benno I have not read it for 30 years but back then I found it very heavy going.

Now that might just mean that HP is aimed at kids.

Says something about me perhaps!

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I've read all the books and some twice. I think the advice to see the first film before watching the others is good, you'll understand some of the infrastructure behind what your watching, but much better to watch them in sequence. If you watched the 6th film in the series "cold" you'd have no idea of what's going on. Get a copy of the first book, it's short and you'll read it in 3 hours or so. That's the best introduction.

If you don't like fantasy you won't like Harry, but having said that you've told me that you think MFC will win a flag in our lifetime so perhaps you do (believe in fantasy).

Your PS is actually brilliant and could so easily be built into the characters and things in the book. Harry is a brilliant "seeker " in a sport called quididich and would be sort by many other teams but his loyalty to his friends and headmaster would mean he'd never leave.

If you've not read the Hobbit or LOTR's they are both great reads but again, you've got to like fantasy.

Quidditch is a fictional Wizarding sport played in the Harry Potter book series. It is described as an extremely rough, but very popular, semi-contact sport, played by wizards and witches around the world. Matches are played between two teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using four balls and six elevated ring-shaped goals. In the Harry Potter universe, Quidditch holds a fervent following similar to the position that association football holds as a globally popular sport.

The sport is featured in every Harry Potter book except for the seventh, when Harry Potter is preoccupied in fighting Voldemort. Harry plays an important position for his house team at Hogwarts as the seeker. Regional and international competitions are mentioned throughout the series. In Goblet of Fire, Quidditch at Hogwarts is cancelled for the Tri-Wizard Tournament, but Harry and the Weasleys attend the Quidditch World Cup. In addition, Harry uses his Quidditch skills to capture a golden egg from a dragon (in the Tri-Wizard Tournament), to capture a flying key in Philosopher's Stone, and on two key occasions in Deathly Hallows—getting hold of Ravenclaw's Diadem, and during the final fight with Voldemort—the "unerring skill of the Seeker" is vitally useful to him in snatching an object out of the air.

The sport has been adapted under the name of "Muggle Quidditch" (or simply "Quidditch") to the real world. Since at least 2003, Harry Potter fans have played ball games resembling the Harry Potter sport. In the United States, teams from more than 200 colleges are affiliated with the International Quidditch Association and play tournaments. Furthermore, high-level Quidditch tournaments are a mainstay of Harry Potter Conventions, such as Nimbus 2003, The Witching Hour, and, most recently, Infinitus 2010.

My life feels so empty now. Are there any racehorses in the Harry Potter stories. Actually mine won at Geelong today and have another racing at Caulfield tomorrow.

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
