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 ...

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

Is there a competition on and nobody told me?

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?

To make them much easier to counterfeit, of course (especially all the Masonic symbols on the $1 bill) ...

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

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    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
