Not even sure these are all cliches but ...........

"Our window"

"As the list matures"

"2013 will be our year"

"2014 will be our year"

"2015 will be our year"

"Games into our young list"

"He needs a couple of good pre-seasons "

"Talls take longer to mature"

"He's an outside player"

"2016 will be our year"

Anything spouted about politics or religion from any side or angle of those two topics is a cliche.

'I believe in Tom'.

lol

Very good.

Seriously though, if you are 20 years old and a Demon - I will believe you. But that says more about me than anyone else.

I certainly don't believe in the parents though, and now think that they are capable of anything...

But we move on.

It's not really a cliche but " Have a bex and a lie down " really shits me. Anyone under the age 40 has no idea what a bex is let alone taken one.

Having a bex and a lie down is one of my favourite pastimes!

Rhino Richards pulling you into line. So cliched and I hate it!

Posters who assume the role of famous figure and fail to do that character justice.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
