Let's lighten the mood

I don't need this thread to feel better about things. All I have to do is look at the thread about Anderson quitting and all of a sudden I'm happy again.

The spelling is anglicized but this was at the time considered CFC's biggest and most coveted prize.

After Demetriou's glorious reign over the AFL and in particular the hugely successful push into Greater Western Sydney as well as the wonderfully orchestrated failed tanking investigation into the MFC, he has decided to turn his inconsiderable talents to the mother land and take on the Greek Presidency.

Apparently Andy is so impressed by his chosen successor Giligan McLachlan that he feels very comfortable relinquishing the reins of power over to his young protege.

"Really there's bugger all to do except sit back and count the cash. Even in my wildest dreams I could never have envisioned the outstanding success that GWS would become. Last year they regularly had crowds in excess of Three Thousand!" Demetriou said.

When asked what was his greatest challenge was during his time in power he nominated the MFC tanking investigation.

"I go on holidays in the middle of the season for a couple of months and that little ambitious turd Anderson starts a tanking investigation into the MFC. What was he thinking? What's worse is that it's based holy and solely on what numb nut McLean says and that old hag Wilson's vendetta against Schwab. I had to do something 'cos Fitzpatrick was breathing down my neck threatening to have my balls in a sling if this went any further. In the end I sacked Anderson and appointed the AFP equivalent of Abbott and Costello to head up the investigation, spread some BS about Haddad being a United Nations investigator of repute which the media swallowed hook line and sinker and then let the buggers [censored] it up from the gecko. Pure Genius on my behalf if I do say so my self. It did take a while to bury that crappy investigation, we had to look as if we were actually doing something.", he was quoted as saying.

For now Demitriou is looking to the future and job ahead as Greek President,

"I've had a look at the books and they seem to be in tip top order. As we all know the Greek economy is the powerhouse of Europe and now must look to expand it's influence within the region, I'm thinking Germany could do with a hand".

Greece's gain is surely our loss.

I think a really bad punishment by the AFL would be if we had to take Scully back. That could be far worse than taking away points from past seasons!

Sounds plausible O50 but I think Demetriou's antecedents were like the Toumpas family, Greek Cypriot.

Not only that but it seems that he's already tried his hand at politics over there because, according to Wikipedia, Andreas Demetriou is "a former Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus."

My mail is that he will soon retire from the AFL and re-open his parents' fish and chips shop in Sydney Road, Coburg where it all started which is a risky enterprise because the area is now strongly inhabited by Turkish Cypriots who, for some reason, don't get on too well with their Greek compatriots. This should not worry Andy too much because he has the experience and the capacity to reverse engineer a negotiated solution to the problem and is tipped in the Fin Review and BRW to go on and make a fortune from his new enterprise.

Meanwhile, Toumpas will go on to become the AFL's most influential player of Greek Cypriot origin, winning two Brownlows (including the one he shares with Jack Viney in 2015) and playing in multiple premiership teams for the Demons before becoming AFL CEO himself on retirement. During his term as CEO he will oversee the successful three day investigation into Carlton's salary cap rorts of 2007-9 which result in the Blues' merger with cash strapped Collingwood in 2033.

Haha, thats gold.

I heard he had a ripper of a preseason, and judging from this it's fair to say that T$ is running out games strongly.
