Addition: "Nothing to see here". Summarily dismisses any point of view as irrelevant - like you have the right to do so. Rating - 9/10.

 

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"

"Blah blah blah bananas. Blah blah blah antique rock band / pop heart-throb."


I love these:

'When he does a preseason he will.....'

'One of our better ball carriers.'

'Watts will prove that's he's better than Nitnat...'

'We should have taken Martyn at 2...'

'I trust the Club.'

'I trust the Club.'

Somebody probably said that the day that Norm Smith got the sack. It's almost 50 years later and that trust must be starting to run out.

I just wish I didn't have to remove 1/2 my brain to understand what is being said. (Or get a Colling^%#wood suporter to help me.)

 

(Enter year) is a make or break year for Sylvia.


"From all reports, Tom Scully is as fine a young man as you could wish to meet and a picture of honesty to boot."

Whatever. A picture of honesty painted by a blind dog with no legs, perhaps.

Old - move on


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

Felafel munchers

'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!

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

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

'I believe in Tom'.

" Tom " himself has already ensured that this cliche will never appear on Demonland again except in a thread such as this

 

Ban bad punctuation - grammar and spelling two.

Not using the apostrophe correctly when player's are involved with their manager's and all the extra's they need to do.

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

Posters who pretend to be Scottish when they're probably not.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
