Surely you have something better to do with your time than worry about the best thread on Demonland.

Good luck with your grandson's lightning premiership day.

    Apologies to the banana cake, but I sampled some vanilla slice cake last night, I forgot how nice it tastes. Haven't had any in years.

    You never usually ask.

    Better see if Stuie is OK with it.

    He loves a good closure.

    I just get the feeling Neil Craig knows something about the Coaching position at Melbourne, as he keeps repeating, if he is not what we are looking for, he won't get the job. He also keeps saying he was given the job for 11 weeks and that is his brief, nothing more.

    No, but there are few others that may have postings, but not a lot of worthwhile content ... :-)

    FWIW I planted some roses recently, and in a certain corner put a red one and a blue one (well, as blue as roses get - more like light purple )

    One day I hope to be able to put a navy blue one next to the red one, or better yet, a hybrid one that produces red and blue flowers, starting in late September ...

    Is that better, WJ? :-)

    Maybe. I see it more as him not putting himself into a corner by saying that he wants the job, but then having nowhere to go if he doesn't get it. He won't say that he doesn't want the job, of course (even if that is the case), and if he does he would need the team to win more than lose over the next four weeks or so, which makes him a hostage to fortune. So he says the above as a typically polite way of saying "too early to tell".

    FWIW Provided that one of Craig, Williams or Eade wants the job (and understandably none of them have.openly said so) I don't think we could go wrong with any of them.

    Nothing on this thread in 24 hours is more informative than 30 postings on a lot of the other threads.

    e.g. the prattle on the "Jobe Took The Drug" thread over the last week.

    Worried about sensible content on this thread?

    Well I'm just returned from the Myanmar frontier. By god it was tough going at the headwaters of the Irrawaddy. No decent red wine to be found, the Mandalay Golf Club was in poor order and the coolies couldn't wave the fans fast enough to keep me cool. The Kyber Pass would have been a better choice.

    BTW. Did Biffen make it back? He came up here chasing cheap drugs to onsell at the Gatwick. Doubt he made it beyond the "pinga pongas" in Thailand.

    Made it back with all goods secure.

    The old Khyber is not the same though.

    Tentative list of those substances allowable for consumption by D'landers for approval by -T$B$ commission

    are as :

    Bananas ( all shapes and form )

    Carrots , only when in the form of cake

    Snot Blocks

    and I also propose the humble Custard Tart ( on probation )

    Mr Leg you know you never see a vanilla slice in the healthfood shop. What is always there under the little glass dome - yes banana cake - health food of a nation.

    That will be two "extra" laps around the tan for you!

    Not sure I could make two laps in my current condition. But gee it was great vanilla slice.

    Just had lunch with WJ's nephew at Surfers Paradise. He is one of the doctors for the Suns. He is just in awe of Gary Ablett. I said he is in a long queue.

    If it is up for nominations, I nominate date scones (fresh, of course), and it sounds like Redleg would nominate vanilla slice. Come to think of it, what do OD and BB have against proud custard tarts? :)

    My nomination is choc éclair with fresh cream - none of that sugary pretend stuff.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
