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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
