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

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    • 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?

      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.
