Losing our first pick in the draft is going to make guessing who we might get impossible.

I'm 98% sure you are correct

It's sure to make for a long thread on Demonland.

I can see someone changing the name of the thread to the Not the Draft Thread. Don't want to give my age away, but while on Demonland, I have 70's Disco Hits on You Tube in the background. I am bouncing around on the chair and can hardly type straight. Wonder if I have any flairs in the cupboard, platform shoes and a bright shirt.

I have some Redleg Mrs. OD kept them for f/dress parties. They are well used.

Loaned out continously.

Got a new license yesterday.

But they have screwed up they have put this olds guys photo on it.

Not sure where they got an old photo of my father

But now I will have to go back and get it fixed.

When the Roy Orbison was cooler, and memories of the last Dees flag were still crystal clear!

Oh please I have just got over the pain of 2011 season.

Pretty Woman was No.1 in 64

Every time I hear that song the GF comes back to me

Heard it on the radio on the way down from the country That and "Have I the Right" by the honeycombs.

Drove home that night and thought this glory will go on forever.

Oh well I had a few good months till the 65 season got going.

Ahh ... we have more in common than just our advancing years, a drop or two of good red and our unconditional love for the Dees.

I was dating two lovelies in '64 (hello Maureen and Jane). Sadly, they disappeared from the radar in '65 much like the Dees. It was a sh!t of a year in many ways, but I'm thankful that mini-skirts arrived a couple of years later, the good music continued for another decade, and the Dees are once again on the march. Ahhh!

My god two at once!

One at a time for me was good fishing.

Yes Mrs OD looked very good in a mini back then.

Actually she is probably holding up better than me.

can we go the distance deeoldfart?

I hope so

Carn the Dees

PS Over the last 5 years October and November have been the best months of the year.

We have not lost a game and expectation rises with Drafts etc.

Bit of trivia for you. The Homecombs drummer was a girl and her brother was the lead singer. Very few great female drummers over the years. The best IMO was Cindy Blackman in Lenny Kravitz's band who was the driving force behind " are you gonna go my way". She could really pound the skins.

'65 was a bad year for the Demons as we all know, even the youngsters have done there reading!

But a fantastic year for the Beatles with "Rubber Soul"

The Rolling Stones with "Out of Our Heads" (USA Version of course!!)

Bob Dylan with "Bringing it All Back Home" & "Highway 61 Revisited" Bob was on a roll Big Time...

& The Who smashed out the "My Generation" Album....

What a year for Record Player Sales....1965..& Mini skirts!!!

In My Humble Opinion WYL I always enjoyed "The Magic Bus" a lot more than MG.

Arh great years for music even if the Dees were crap.

You can see them on you tube if you are feeling nostalgic.

Thank you I will go looking, do they still exist as a band?

PS Just had a look, well I forgot how conservative they looked.

Time changes everything

and don't forget Bobbie and Laurie........not really my cup-o-tea though


Hitchhiker.........

I preferred "Hitch Hike" of "Out of Our Heads actually....Side 1 Track 2.

Hey O D i reckon the Who were Fantastic, and hit their Zenith in 1973 with the Double Album Epic "Quadrophenia"

I still give it a good listen today...they were all brilliant on that one..

But yes "The Who Sell Out" with Magic Bus in '67 is worth finding on Youtube

All those great Jingles they wrote for Radio London....(The Boat that Rocked)

"I belong with you", great song.

I remember going with a few mates to a dance called Penthouse in North Road, Ormond when the great Laurie Allen and Bobby Bright were on the bill. 

It was 1964 and the pair were popular artists on the The Go!! Show as well as a couple of popular music programmes emanating from the Channel 2 studios at Ripponlea. 

To use the modern vernacular, the night of the dance was "massive". Hundreds of screaming young girls turned up and they outnumbered us males by 5:1. We thought, "how good is this?"

Problem was that when Bobby & Laurie were done, so were the chicks. For the rest of the night the males outnumbered the females 5:1 and alas, the three shillings spent on entry went down the toilet.

On reflection, it was a pretty good time. The Demons were on a roll,  virtually invincible and on our way to a premiership flag, we could safely hitchhike wherever we wanted to go and we were young and free.

What a time it was!

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
