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: )

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.

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

Whenever that happens, Redleg, I'll shout you a banana smoothie ...

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.

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

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

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
