Wardrobe dept budget would be spared. Wouldn’t have to buy any 7XL kaftans. 

Haha for someone who wanted to be banned from this site, you are doing an awful lot of posting on here WCW.

Ah! I see a light in the tunnel here WCW. The key phrases here are "used to be" and "was", showing that there has indeed been a U-turn of sorts here. Note the present tense in my earlier post, ie about considering such a relationship now. That should be enough legalese to distract even the most pedantic Pharisees on this thread away from judgement, let alone sentencing. It seems ye have already repented, and so the light of the red and the blue shall be your only guide henceforth.

(Oh and if the food at the party includes fried bananas, does that mean you will have had a banana fritter with the Fritters? Had to "rail" this thread somehow ...😆)

I think we need to get this thread back on to the footy, so let me pose the following question.

Which is greener, real grass or Astro turf?

Well Red ...... it obviously depends which side of the fence it's on.

Does spillage from a wine cask lighten or darken Astro turf?

Ask the butler, as he must have poured plenty of wines while you were on the manor tennis court or croquet course.

Isn't it a croquet court?

I don’t thinks it’s a croquet court, as the ones I have seen never have a border to the course.

However, you are correct, as they are called “courts”.

just to be totally [censored]. they are also called a pitch

uncle bitters should be the authority here as every manor must have a croquet pitch

Quote

An official full-size croquet pitch is 28 yards wide by 35 yards long, but most casual players make up their own size depending on lawn space.) Players take turns: the player, or team, with the blue ball goes first, followed by the player with the red ball, then black, and finally yellow.

Uncle Bitter uses the croquet mallets to keep the staff in line.

btw it looks as if only demon and tiger supporters can play "blue ball goes first, followed by the player with the red ball, then black, and finally yellow"

makes sense too that the blue and red balls play first.

Not a single fried banana in sight.

But I’m happy to say I didn’t sleep under a tree in the Frittata front yard. I slept in Fritta’s old bedroom and was woken this morning (a little hungover and waaaay too early, for mine) by being jumped on and face-licked by Oscar, the Frittata family pooch. Good times.

But the player wasn’t there. He chose to sleep at his own house.

What’s your stance re DL’s sleeping with a player’s dog?

I always thought it was called a croquet lawn.

That's what my French friends, Madame and Monsieur Croque, insisted anyway. But they were hardly the athletic type.

We have several lawyers on DL.

Stepping back in for my strictly rationed dose of No T$ No B$, Mr Leg, I first need to ask, has anyone ever suggested the second 'No' might be misleading advertising?

Then, re your post: As if the profession doesn't have enough to deal with, reputation-wise!

And look out everyone; I've got spare time on my hands...

There are actually a lot more, dare I say it in these crazy times, members of the “female “ persuasion than you think on DL.

Like in real life, they use an assortment of various gender identification avatars and names.

I still grapple with whether Walking Civil War is a male or female or whatever moniker.

Dare I say it, in these 'crazy times' as you call them, Mr Leg: regarding gender identification, this - in the sense of the act of persuading - has taken on a whole new connotation for those wrestling with theirs...

If you look on his/her/their Demonland bio you’ll see that he/she/they identify as female. But one never knows, does one?

Presumably the ransom message will come via this thread. Mods, is the Constabulary tapped in?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
