There's a few posters working hard lately to get their post count up

Is there a competition on and nobody told me?

    How long can you live on that once or twice a year R&B when the other games are mostly 10+ thrashings and the game is over at quarter time?

    I am just about at the end.

    By the way I remember the old race, it is very likely we were both sitting there near each other with our respective dads.

    Great memories mate are about all I have left.

    I hear you, OD, but living on the good stuff is better than the alternative. 1981 lives on in my memory for a visit to training with my Dad (who knew one of the then training staff) and briefly meeting Ron Barassi, the applause that greeted Ron before the first game against Hawthorn (grrr!) and Robbie's mark in the goal square to kick the winning goal against Footscray for our only win of the season. Otherwise a season full of garage, long since forgotten. Life is too short; you have to focus on only the good bits.

    Interesting comment about the old race --- small world, eh? (or large crowd :lol: ) I have a feeling that I may end up there more often if we perform like we did in that quarter ...

    Yes, but don't tell anyone else! First prize is a reserved seat for our next game at Geelong (second prize is two seats :blink: )

    Sorry but I was educated in northern Georgia.

    That's Georgia in the USA, I presume, not the one in the former USSR ...

    I am struggling to read any other thread at present dc.

    We are going round and round in an every decreasing spiral.

    Is there anything left to say?

    A few posters keep me coming back to this thread and that is about all I can muster at present.

    This could be the raffle in which no one bought a ticket.

    The way things are going, if I had every ticket in the raffle, I still wouldn't win.

    There is a whole lot of self-flagellation on most other threads, which is understandable, but I find it gets a bit boring after the 37th time ... I find it hard to understand why some people seem to enjoy arguing the pants off each other about how bad we are ('No, I said we are crappier than crappy crap' 'But I think we are crapper than that!' etc). But then I find it hard to understand how people make money out of hip-hop ... :lol:

    The world is full of thinks I don't understand, like how come all USA bank notes are the same size and colour?

    Good afternoon fellow banana lovers.

    Any news worth discuss that does not involve, sacking MN, the new GM achieving miracles in 6 months or slagging off my fellow Demonlanders?

    I had a very nice banana sandwich for lunch so far the highlight of my day.

    You know I don't want to be the bearer of more bad news, but Elvis died of a heart attack, due to his obese condition, contributed to by his constant eating of fried banana sandwiches.

    I hope your sandwich, or the banana wasn't fried.

    Wholemeal bread with natural Banana straight out of the skin that was it Redleg.

    Washed down with a cup of English breakfast.

    Thank you for the concern for my health.

    Bloody sad that this is the most positive thing I can talk about today on Demonland.

    You're lucky, I can't even think of one positive today

    And to cap it off my central heating unit packed up, and so far i can't get a service man before next tuesday

    Can you imagine if they had the anti-obesity drug AOD-9604 around in 1977, Elvis could have become a champion Essendon footballer?

    Typical pizz weak suburbanite. You should try toughing it out in the bush. We have to cut down trees to provide fuel for our firepits.

    Unfortunately fire pits got banned in burwood in the '70s.

    too many locals went missing and the stench was terrible

    we had to get more inventive and sophisticated in making people disappear

    Is that how you got rid of the commos ( or other minority groups which I dare not mention nowadays) ?

    we don't talk about left-wing post-materialist inner-suburbanites with government contracts in the inner-to-middle suburbs

    The mask, the underpants disguise, it all suddenly makes sense. You're running a clandestine ASIO cell in Burwood. That's clever!!!

    close, but no cigar. Jungle Patrol actually, not asio

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
