I was going to say something about that... along the lines of having ones cake and eating it too :rolleyes:

Yeah, no point in saving banana cake -- carpe bananum and all that ... :lol:

Today I went to the football

I have no idea why

I need help

Ditto. I did think in the last quarter that OD and BB made much better choices for the weekend ...

Well my big weekend in Bendigo turned to nothing.

Five of us getting together.

Friday one was down with flu, one broke his arm Thursday night, third one had to visit wife in hospital after fall from a golf cart.

Yes you are reading correctly she fell out of golf cart.

So the two of us left standing called the weekend early Saturday morning.

After some discussion we are all on for next weekend.

There seems to be a bit of sadness around tonight did we lose on Saturday or something.

Sorry to hear it, OD, but you know the saying -- there is always next week! :lol:

It wouldn't surprise me if the new chairman posted on Demonland. I believe that it should be a prerequisite for any candidate to post here a minimum of 3 months before being considered for office. That and a ravenous desire to devour bananas.

If by "here" you mean on this thread, then no problem. On some of the others, I think three months would be akin to a sentence for daylight robbery ...

The problem is R and B none of us are getting any younger.

We starting talking about this two years ago there were six then!

It is on next weekend come hell or high water.

I hope this not a omen but I will be in Bendigo next weekend!

Sounds like it will be more enjoyable, even if we win by 100+. Any victory for us this season will be sweet, but soon forgotten; a weekend catching up with old mates will surely be something that lives in the memory for ever. Hence don't think of it as an omen, but the right decision.

That's the spirit! The Dees certainly provided the hell on the weekend ... :blink:

I had a serious car crash this morning.

100% my fault, inattention.

One metre further into the intersection and I think I would have been watching the Dees from another dimension.

Everyone walked away ok.

Puts the MFC in a different perspective.

Never forget to tell your loved ones you do!

Glad you are well enough to be at your keyboard telling us about it. It does put things in perspective though.

Old Dee-you will have to stop posting in the car,and turn down the stereo.

Glad to hear you are well.I think we discussed insurance on this forum once so i take it you have some.

Hope you are running on all chambers/valves soon.

I'm sure i'll go in a 4 cylinder and come out a V8

I wonder if this might be a strategy worth pursuing for the current list? Would asada approve?

Just a thought

They tried that with Cale but the doctors refused to operate because his chest was too small and they couldn't find his heart.

If worst comes to worst DC, perhaps one of my "lads" would make the ultimate sacrife and donate a valve. No guarantees of course.

Glad to hear you're OK OD. However, if you were in another dimension upward there would be better things to do than watch the dees. If you were in another dimension downward, watching the dees would be the equivalent of eternal damnation.

Glad to hear you are alright, OD. Certainly puts things in perspective. Good omen, I guess, as it seems that luck is on your side on the things that count.

thanks for the offer bbo, but one of burwood's finest porkers has already volunteered (with just a little coercion)

    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
