Redleg,

You'll be delighted to know that I've put you down for a coaching position with the Demonland/Demonology team purely on the basis that one of our players is called "Bananas".

I will have to see where I am at. Currently being interviewed for Saints senior coaching position and Magpies senior assistant. My record precedes me.

    If you are selected and take up either of those appointments, nobody around here will ever communicate with you again. It might just be the biggest decision you will ever have to make. Weigh it up carefully!

    While reading Demonland I went on you tube and don't yell at me people but I have enjoyed can't Speak French by Girls Aloud. Good song and great visual. Now listening to Sly and Family Stone greatest hits. Better than bananas.

    Unfortunately I know who you are listening to.

    God we are old!

    Is it just me or do others feel the same about trade week.

    There are as many stories as people who want to create them.

    I suspect that 90% of the stories we see are based on very little if any hard evidence.

    So I will believe a story when it is proved to be a fact.

    i.e. when a player is reported to have officially moved then it is fact up till then it just the figment of someone's imagination.

    Same old dee. As Tim Harrington said about 2 % of the stories being floated around trade week come off and are true. The rest is really spak filler. Clearly it gets the blood pumping for some and like our resident member daisycutter it represents a chance to boost their post count. haha. :P;)

    I think it would be worthwhile after 5pm Thursday and at the conclusion on Monday for results.

    Apparently Cooney may have been on the table. Some reporter on SEN apparently i read it on Bf though.

    Anyway this can be a sign of how bad degenerating knee injuries can be? what is Cooney 25 and could be a shadow of himself? struggled this year and apparently takes alot of pain suppressants to get a game in.

    Maybe if we threw in 5 Kg of Banana's at the latest price along with pick 12 and one of our compensation picks. That might have done it. Sheeds loves banana's.

    Now changing to "Not a TS, JO'M, BC or MC Thread" to cater for that bloke from the Lions who prefers Yo ho Freo to It's a Grand Old Flag. He's got to be a cretin, surely?

    I'm not suggesting you do this WJ, but an alternate title for this thread might simply be 'Bananas'. There seems to be as much discussion of that particular fruit as any other topic, and without wanting to mention names, I'm starting to think that some of the contributors (myself included) have gone a bit 'bananas'.

    Edit: Proof that I'm more than a bit 'bananas'!

    Bananas is already a tag for this thread and you're right - anyone who maintains their loyalty for the red & blue for a long time in the circumstances has to be bananas and a bit of a fruit loop.

    The fact that Redleg and I post here just confirms this as a fact.

    Speaking of Bananas, Mrs Redleg wanted to share a banana smoothie for lunch and I declined saying we had not traded anyone and there was nothing to celebrate. Skinny Latte was the substitute.

    Hope we don't miss out on too many more players or the title of the thread will be too big for Demonland.

    Saturday Banana Jokes ( I didn't say they were any good, but at least as exciting as trade week )

    Why are bananas never lonely?

    Because they hang around in bunches.

    Why did the banana go out with the prune?

    Because he couldn't find a date.

    What's yellow and writes?

    A ball-point banana.

    What would you call two banana skins ?

    A pair of slippers.

    What is the difference between a banana and a bell?

    You can only peel (peal) the banana once.

    Why is a banana peel on the sidewalk like music?

    Because if you don't C sharp you'll B flat.

    After those jokes I am back off to the trading threads to see all of the trades we have done this week.

    Saw a sign recently: "There are no bananas kept on these premises."

    Can we get rid of the apostrophe in banana's please? It looks awful.

    Canaan Banana's descendants will be disappointed to read that.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
