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.

You mean not everyone gets one with their membership!

How lucky am I?

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
