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

So thats whats wrong with Cherries these days

If I could only find that I blame Jack Watts thread now

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

And probably a few more I have forgotten.

If I was Jack Watts I would be destroying Cherries every night.

I bet he's been slaying them since he was at Brighton.

Could be why he is always so relaxed .

Footy has certainly changed. Sledging about family gets you suspended. I was told in many amateur games I played, by my opponent, that he had f...d my sister. It didn't worry me too much, mainly becuase I haven't got a sister. Players today need to be very careful what they say both on and off the field.

Very funny redleg .

This modern trend of players telling players that they have raped their mother is appalling .These days a player cannot simply punch another player in the head so they are forced to "dob in" the offenders.it is a ridiculous sledge that says more about the sledger than the sledgee .

the games getting bit soft I reckon. Sledging is just a mind game. If you re sucked in then youre fair game.. In out time red i reckon there was as much fun in the 'banter" and there was hip-shouldering someone into the turf/fence. Ah...dem good ol days !! lol

"Oi, I f...ed my girlfriend for half an hour last night!"

Your mum jokes. They're like kids in the playground. Can't believe it's such big news.

Thats more of a boast than a sledge really .Half an hour- What a Romeo!

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.

Though not in first seasons, add Bartram.

Looks like the thread will remain as is, especially as we don't mention the person who is central to at least 6 new threads recently and continues to be mentioned in several other threads. If for some other reason there is the need to change the name, I am happy to just delete the reference to "NO T$" and simply remain as the "NO B$" thread. Long may the thread continue and provide something a little different for Demonlanders.

Old Dee if you are still wondering what to do with all those scarves, I saw a lady on Sunday wearing a large cape made out of old Dees scarves sewn together. It looked very impressive and quite warm I would have thought. I think it was just 4 scarves sewn together lengthwise

A few more and you could have a great grandkid's bed cover. Does Mrs OD sew? (I assume you don't)

Great idea. I have a lot of old Dees scarves. I will see if I can get them sewn together. It will make a great blanket when I watch dees games on TV.

Thanks for the idea DC

Yes Mrs OD does sow however not sure she will do the job mate.

Bloody Pies fan.

However it has given me a great idea for a blanket for No.1 Granddaughter.

Now that will put the cat among the piegons!

Or perhaps the dee among the pies!

Stop this Redleg I reckon you are mosing us.

However it is hard to argue with your idea.

I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
