All religion is "strange" though. We dunk babies in water, hunt for chocolate easter eggs, pray to an imaginary man in the sky. They are all strange in the eye of those who were not raised understanding the principals behind it. Anyway I'm sure I'm boring a lot of people here, time to move on.

Good story and I fully agree with his stance. The fact that it is still something that needs to "come out" shows that we've got a long way to go in our society in regards to acceptance. I look forwa

^^ This, perfectly said. Being gay myself I totally agree with this, the whole coming out process was difficult and stressful, I can't wait for the day when society accepts differences in peoples live

This topic is one big bore for me. I couldn't care if you're hetero, homo, bi, or asexual. I don't want gay rounds. I don't want the AFL to be a moral police with their green agenda. I don't want

correct. I am hoping for no "imaginary friends" in the next life. It retards evolution terribly.

(Sorry to get back on subject guys, back to your Jihad)

Lol know I know why all you want to talk about is football. The ignorance you display to other issues is embarrassing. Have you ignored me yet?

It's the off season and I'm not breaking any specific code of conduct rules.

Don't you have an administration to pot?

I don't see how not wanting to talk about the intricacies of Islam on Demonland in a thread about Brock McLean's gay sister equates to ignorance, but feel free to point out some examples if you have any basis whatsoever for saying so...

No,no,

Go on.

This is now actually more interesting than Brocks sisters sex life.

Which I never thought possible.

What sane women would like the delights of your body, FFS get a grip.

I never said they were sane.

Lets be clear on that.

and don't swear at me in abbreviations.

I dont think you've ever posted one nice, funny ,charming ,clever or intelligent sentence on this site in your brief but utterly tedious time here.

Did someone just run over your pet rat?

Or a you just an angry little person.

Next time a Demonlander gets the urge to slag of Magpie fans as a bunch of rabid ferals and rednecks, perhaps they should pause and read this thread and the one recently about Jurrah. It would appear the dees have our fair share!

Now now Biffo, if it's upsetting Stuie of course Slonnie will have to stop.

It doesn't upset me that Biff is trying it on with Sloonie. Least he realizes he has more of a chance on the interwebs than at the bar, and the way this site is going why not let it be an RSVP dating site as well...

Beyond that rugged ,thick skinned ,no nonsense exterior lies a delicate little soul that just wants order and discipline .

Sloonie is just educating him .

Gay man says and asks Barn Dee "My round is next, Barn, would like a beer" BarnDee says "thanx mate"

Gay man walks off to the bar

BarnDee turns around to his straight mate as says "did you see that? He just hit on me"

Straight man looks down at BarnDee and replies "Is that a gun in your pocket?"

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
