Old dee,

I just think we need to go beyond the banana fritters and the like.

This thread started as a distraction at a time when everyone was going bananas at the thought of Voldemort jumping ship. Once we've played GWS and hopefully given them a shellacking, what purpose is it going to serve?

Quite obviously your mind is made up.

So have a nice night WJ

Definately Penski material.

Well. One could argue it is after all about something. In this thread we can identify the fluctuations on banana prices and keep a good track record of Redleg's track runners. Oh and there's a countdown clock somewhere showing the time to this years National Draft...importance personified.

Other than that, yeah it's tracking a la Seinfeld. But in this case there's no B$ ! Apparently.

I like the banter here but I reckon it does the board a disservice because Redleg's observations - often thought-provoking - end up here rather than in the relevant thread.

My 0.2 cents

Surely, there has to be some closure from this whole T$ thing at some stage?

What better time than after the GW$ game when we get the chance to see him in the flesh in that ghastly orange garb?

How about we extend the olive branch WJ, and instead of closing it, move it to general discussion, where it can continue on its merry way. It fits under 'general discussion' after all, given the nature of its content. And if Redleg wants it re-named or have the T$ taken out, we can make do ??

Si ?

I'm not suggesting it's broke, I'm suggesting to keep the thread alive.

moving it to the general board will be like putting it into an iron lung on life support

or, like sending your kids to Junior Boarding School

Inclined to agree there, too many timble weeds I suppose. Unless we merged sports and general boards.....food for thought anyway.

Why don't you 'pin' it?

No-one looks there and there are always around the 3 or 4 threads up there.

That's an option.

That's currently under review dc. Awaiting a consensus of sorts.

I think that during these dark days at the MFC it is very sad that the site cannot afford one thread that is light hearted

and does not take itself seriously.

We have a multitude of threads with people at each others throats.

You have won me. I am with you 100%.

If it helps, I can start a discussion about which other fruit the players like. I believe Watts likes cherries.

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

Yes it seems we do not have much luck.

I seem to remember that a couple of those we drafted knowing they would be out their first year.

Gawn and Fitzpatrick I think.

I do not take a lot of interest in the fortunes of draftees at other clubs Redleg

So I do not know if we are poor by comparsion or not.

but like you I think we seem to have a lot of bad luck with these guys.

PS you could have added Grimes to that list

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
