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

Is there a competition on and nobody told me?

    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 ...

    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?

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
