Demons working overtime (XTC)

...

And all the world is football-shaped

It's just for me to kick in space

And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

And I've got one, two, three, four, five

Demons working overtime

Trying to take this all in.

I've got one, two, three, four, five

Demons working overtime

Trying to taste the difference

'Tween a lemon and a lime

Pain and the pleasure

And the church bells softly chime.

    Is that all? Praise the Lord and give thanks for new opportunities.

    Positivity is it's own reward. Only the good go to heaven and to be good you have to be positive. Makes sense, yes. We're all going to heaven. Not too sure about Tonatopia though. Blessed are the long suffering Demon supporters for they shall inherit the cup.

    You mentioned my name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A bit of positivity - Magner has tweeted finished his first run of preseason. I like the boy!

    As Boney M sang:

    One way ticket, one way ticket

    One way ticket, one way ticket

    One way ticket, one way ticket to the blues.

    Choo choo train

    Gotta travel on it

    Never comin' back

    Ooh, ooh got a one way ticket to the blues.

    Surely that was referring to Brock and Chris Johnson

    Good morning Crawf

    It is wonderful to see such enthusiasm on this thread.

    However it is beginning to sound a little Clerical.

    Or should that be musical comedy?

    Any way carry on guys you are the first thread I check

    Tom McDonald - another reason for optimism.

    Just goes to show that we don't always get our drafting wrong. Sometimes we get it right. It would also appear that young Tom has thrived under the coaching of Neeld and Co. Here's a young man making the most of his opportunities and contributing to our future success. Go Dees!

    The glass is always half full - optimists start your engines. If you belief you cant do ... you have already failed. If you believe you can do it - you have taken the first step. Every journey worth wile starts with the first step. Never focus on the journey - always focus on the destination.

    Such a massive engine that we should keep him as CHB or a flank but you have got to teach him to kick better...

    Love that the title is now 'Rev Crawf'. The flock need to hear the good news.

    Not sure about Rev Crawf but happy to be the evangelist.

    The Optimist Creed

    Promise Yourself…

    To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

    To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

    To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

    To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

    To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

    To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

    To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

    To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

    To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

    To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

    To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

    To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

    Some words of wisdom. It's a Grand Old Flag!

    Go Dees.

    There is no need to evangelise, people.

    Just don't eulogise because you think we are close to being euthanised.

    Actually always focus on the journey otherwise life is one let down after another

    Reasons to be cheerful:

    • Neil Craig indicates we're on the right track
    • Trade week is nearly here
    • Brock's tweet indicates we may be playing some hard-ball in trade week (not that I'd give too much credence to this guy)
    • It's Grand Final day and we get to see how it should be done by two teams with the sort of culture we need to develop
    • Nathan Jones Brownlow performance
    • We're not getting Travis Cloke - we can spend the money on more reliable stock

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
