just sometimes dee-luded i think you are irw's altar ego

edit: but as he often remarks "what would i know"

HaHaHa, good morning DC,,, Altar eGO??? Bring back the Choirboys... sorry, they were a Hard Rockin' band, weren't they.

No my main concern is we don't spoil the kids & undo the great work we're starting to do, as we've continually done in our clubs history.

Realising is the first part of change, & my only motivation is for us to learn to see how we effect our club. Deenial is a destructive thing, for us & our clubs wellbeing & successes.

We need to maintain the 'Rage' onfield, & on the track.

 

Marcellin Old Collegians are the eagles, but they use the Grand Old Flag as their song (substituting red for maroon).

 

Ha played against them when I was playing for the London Swans quite a few years ago now!

I cut my teeth in the Ballarat League against the Daylesford Demons, home of Chris Grant and his brother Jamie (great footballers), but I see now they have moved leagues and changed their name to the Bulldogs...

Boolarra Demons? How do you know about them, YDE?

i live in gippsland and i played against them this season and a couple before, playing for Hill End

Do you play at Willow Grove?

I drove thru to WG a couple of months ago.

And drove thru Boolarra 2 or 3 days back. Got lost they're, lost my bearings, trying to get out, to go to Foster, but started toward Morwell.

Wow, totally lost my intuitiveness.

I got to Foster after driving in circles on dirt roads rally driving, back thru Mirboo & eventually to Foster.

yeah ive been playing out there for a few seasons. unfortunately injured my shoulder early in this season and wasn't able to return as it never returned to full strength in time. Both WG and boolarra are nice little towns. If you're ever going through WG again i recommend going to their restaurant. pretty nice feed, they do lunch and dinner. A little pricey at dinner (not sure about lunch) but it was very nice when i went there.

haha happens to all of us! At least there would've been some good views while you were trying to find your way to Foster?

Brushing up on my dirt driving skills.

I didn't realise the Grand Ridge Road was loose gravel.

I turned around & went back & around, only to find out a day later, I was this close to the intersection. I was up in the logging truck route.

I ended up back on another gravel road so had some fun throwing it around a bit. whoo hoo... geez.

...anywayz, back to topic I guess...

That would be just the sort of thing i would do too! anyway as you said back to topic...


Thanks for that. Anyone with time on their hands may like to go through the list and categorise teams that use 'Grand Old Flag' as their team song.

Waratah fc in the NTFL.

Springvale Districts in the SFL.


Echunga and Uraidla Districts in the Hills Football

League in SA both wear red and blue. Echunga definately call themselves the Demons - not sure about Uraidla - maybe

Redlegs(?)

You don't happen to be an actual 'Grimes' do you? One of the brothers?
No im not.

The grimes live/grew up in diamond creek however they actually all played up the road at hurstbridge. Although the oldest did play a couple years of senior footy at creek.

Pretty sure Bungaree Football Club (Home of the Frawley family) is also known as the Demons.


I played (very poorly) for Milawa FC in the O&K

We were the mighty Demons!

I was going to mention Milawa and I believe on another wine tour GreatWestern was bedecked in red And blue playing a grand final

It was a few years ago and travelling sporadically around Vic and SA i was amazed at the numkber of clubs that sported the Melbourne colours and were playing grand finals it lifted my spirits not just the alchohol related ones. If I remember quite a few won.

Surfers Paradise. Played there 40+ years ago. Melbourne jumper & known as the Demons. Got some stories about those times.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
