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

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
