Good Evening demonlanders.

I joined twitter a few days back.

Why because the number of people talking about it and using it intrigued me.

So far I am totally under whelmed.

Truly struggling to see the value.

What piece of magic am I missing?

Aren't people who use twitter twits?

It is a conversation tool, so it is only useful if there are people there you want to converse with. Hence joining up with a group of friends or people with a common interest is the way to go.

Hey Biff, if you join twitter you can receive tweets from the mighty Black Caviar. You'll drool over it.

Quite frankly, I don't know how she does it so quickly having just completed her run ...?

And they thought Mr.Ed was all class talking and all. BC tweets!

What happens if you have no friends? Do you send yourself messages?

You may have hit on the problem Bbo

check your local library biffo

much better than 50 shades of grey

My wife bought that book and hasn't wanted a bar of me since.

I've been using the buit up sexual tension to have juvenile arguments with Stu.

I picture myself pouring hot wax all over him and then getting BBO to whip him Red and Blue.

Sloonie then comes in and [censored] Slaps him till he finally shuts the frick up.

It's not perfect ,but it gets me through.

Your right about that.

By the way Biff you are almost as sad as me don't you have anything better to do on a Friday evening in February?

Clearly not.

I have just downed a bottle of 2009 Pinot ,some steak and some salad and spuds .

My four year old is asking lots of "why" ,"but why" questions.

I make up my favourite answers.

I find that more satisfying than meeting up with my new found twitter mates . B)

I think I am a couple of generations in front Biff GD minding duties tonight.

She is fast asleep and I hope she stays that way.

Only 2 and is a sweetheart

You know that old joke................

If I had known how good grand children were I would have had them first

boom boom


Come on OD I will follow you,. What is your tweet address. Message me and I promise not to give out to all and sundry here. We can then have a decent conversation about how good the dees are going to be this year. Music to your ears

Rather talk to you here longsuffering

Tweeting is BS in my view.

Probably too old to get it.

Life has taught me that occasionalyl things don't suit you.

Most of the 21st century suits me fine.

I have already moved on.

Why is it that ever year February is the best time of the year for tragic's

I live in hope that one year September will be the best time of the year.

2014 perhaps

I was a virgin tweet till not long ago and find some of it interesting (Grant Thomas always controversial) and others anal (A.Maher).

LOL you didn't need twitter to know that

Hope this is not true, but a guy at work today told me that he heard from a Doctor that Clark's injury is far worse than we are being told and that Trengove had surgery on his broken foot a week ago.


But there is a photo from training on Monday this week of Jack and Mitch walking and kicking the football quite freely. If Jack had been operated on again wouldnt he be in a moon boot/crutches or just not walking around.

There is a lot of drivel, OD, like everywhere else on the Internet, but there are occasional nuggets that make it worthwhile. Have you tried searching hashtags of things you are interested in? (eg #bananachampagne :) )

What happens if you have no friends? Do you send yourself messages?

Can't imagine that, BBO --- just sign up with Biff and you can tweet away to your heart's content ... :)

On 3AW's Rumour File yesterday, Ross Stevenson said that the AFL was going to lay tanking charges against the MFC during the day. It didn't happen apparently.

That's why they call it the Rumour File.

Yes as far as JT goes but Clark is a long way from playing just walking around. Hope the info is wrong as I said earlier.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
