Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

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 ...

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.

I was having an angiogram whilst you were crashing cars

Have to go back in 10 days and get a new aortic valve (+ 1x bypass)

Not looking forward to it but have been expecting it for a few years

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.

Daisycutter-a French philosopher once said"I would rather die young than compromise by eating Margarine".

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.

Gee mate that is a big one.

I have had quite a few friends and Rels who have had By pass operations and Stints put in the last few year.

Everyone a big success

So Think positive dc.

And get better I need your witty lines.

PS just occurred to me dc!

what better avatar could you have

PPS I reckon you have a good case against the Dees, how much heart ache can one person take?

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)

    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
