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

    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.

    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

    Why don't you 'pin' it?

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

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

    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.

    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

    • 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.
