Redleg,

You'll be delighted to know that I've put you down for a coaching position with the Demonland/Demonology team purely on the basis that one of our players is called "Bananas".

I will have to see where I am at. Currently being interviewed for Saints senior coaching position and Magpies senior assistant. My record precedes me.

If you are selected and take up either of those appointments, nobody around here will ever communicate with you again. It might just be the biggest decision you will ever have to make. Weigh it up carefully!

While reading Demonland I went on you tube and don't yell at me people but I have enjoyed can't Speak French by Girls Aloud. Good song and great visual. Now listening to Sly and Family Stone greatest hits. Better than bananas.

Unfortunately I know who you are listening to.

Is it just me or do others feel the same about trade week.

There are as many stories as people who want to create them.

I suspect that 90% of the stories we see are based on very little if any hard evidence.

So I will believe a story when it is proved to be a fact.

i.e. when a player is reported to have officially moved then it is fact up till then it just the figment of someone's imagination.

Same old dee. As Tim Harrington said about 2 % of the stories being floated around trade week come off and are true. The rest is really spak filler. Clearly it gets the blood pumping for some and like our resident member daisycutter it represents a chance to boost their post count. haha. :P;)

I think it would be worthwhile after 5pm Thursday and at the conclusion on Monday for results.

I heard (third hand) of a club official describing trade week as "that week where we try to offload all our players that are no good, and every other club tries to do the same". Pretty much sums it up, really.

Apparently Cooney may have been on the table. Some reporter on SEN apparently i read it on Bf though.

Anyway this can be a sign of how bad degenerating knee injuries can be? what is Cooney 25 and could be a shadow of himself? struggled this year and apparently takes alot of pain suppressants to get a game in.

Maybe if we threw in 5 Kg of Banana's at the latest price along with pick 12 and one of our compensation picks. That might have done it. Sheeds loves banana's.

Will be changing the name of the thread to Not a TS, O'Meara or Crouch Thread.

Now changing to "Not a TS, JO'M, BC or MC Thread" to cater for that bloke from the Lions who prefers Yo ho Freo to It's a Grand Old Flag. He's got to be a cretin, surely?

I'm not suggesting you do this WJ, but an alternate title for this thread might simply be 'Bananas'. There seems to be as much discussion of that particular fruit as any other topic, and without wanting to mention names, I'm starting to think that some of the contributors (myself included) have gone a bit 'bananas'.

Edit: Proof that I'm more than a bit 'bananas'!

Bananas is already a tag for this thread and you're right - anyone who maintains their loyalty for the red & blue for a long time in the circumstances has to be bananas and a bit of a fruit loop.

The fact that Redleg and I post here just confirms this as a fact.

Speaking of Bananas, Mrs Redleg wanted to share a banana smoothie for lunch and I declined saying we had not traded anyone and there was nothing to celebrate. Skinny Latte was the substitute.

Hope we don't miss out on too many more players or the title of the thread will be too big for Demonland.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
