Demonland Message for the Faithful

Recommended Posts

It's funny that whenever "Melbourne" appears in the media now, it's always preceded by an adjective like "hapless" or "embattled", or it's followed by "... who are under investigation for tanking ...". Even in stories where there's no relevance whatsoever!

I'm still whistling with pursed lips!

Maurie, that's because we're all "long suffering"!

What's funnier is that both papers today have the "secret dossier" prepared by the Australian Cricket team for the series against South Africa.

Such a sceret that every hack has a copy!

The 'Hun have even called it an "explosive development" on the eve of the first test. Not sure whether receiving a copy of said dossier from the ACB's media manager qualifies as an "explosive development", but hey ..

Thanks WJ very good

Gave me a laugh for a change.

I spend 5 minutes waiting for something to load.

Then pi--ed myself

Oh well I might need to return to the note book and pencil.

Oh well old dee. You can still take a lead from the song and look on the bright side because, they might be taking away the notebook and the pencil but they're letting you keep the straight jacket!

:lol:

Here's one specifically for you old dee. Probably about our vintage and the artist has obvious links to the MFC.

Two connections actually.

The first is the connection between Judy and Colin Garland (fourth cousins twice removed and replaced once on the interchange bench).

The second was that she appeared in a concert in Melbourne p1zzed to the eyeballs and she was heckled off the stage. Three months later Melbourne won the 1964 Grand Final.

I have said it before in relation to this phot, but i'll ask again. Is JV a vampire?

I noted on another thread that maybe he was a ghost superhero because on the MFC player site he has no weight & no height.

But I like your theory.

Can you tell a vampires weight & height ?

This could be a new exclusive for CW. "Are vampires allowed to play under the AFL rules?"

and sadly Ms. Garland moved on to the real cabin in the sky in 1969...and we went on to win another wooden spoon.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
