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 ...

There's a few posters working hard lately to get their post count up

Is there a competition on and nobody told me?

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?

To make them much easier to counterfeit, of course (especially all the Masonic symbols on the $1 bill) ...

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
