Apologies if this has been posted previously.
Looking through some of my old posts in the archives not so long ago, it reminded me of all the comedy gold/heart warming/head shaking moments we have had on the land (and I'm not being facetious with the second category listed above).
I therefore call on members of the 'Land to submit their greatest Demonland moments from the above three categories.

1) Comedy gold: Biff's ongoing life at the Gatwick and the perils and travails it brings with it.

2) Heart warmer: A tie between P-Man's tribute to his father last year/the Virgin Australia video we submitted (how the Saints managed to win that thing is still beyond me).

3) Head shaker: When Cameron Schwab came on and gave all the plebians a good scolding over his handling of sponsorship.

I will need some older stagers here to help out as I have been here roughly a year. Time for a trip down memory lane!

I believe RR is holding down a small unchartered Pacific island, on his own and unaware that the war is over.

Range Rovers 'resignation' was quite entertaining, even though it was some of the most self indulgent bs I'd ever read. That guy was extremely delusional.

Range Rover was a fairly divisive character .

Who or where is he now?

Or should we have a poll to decide the truth?

I believe he retreated to 'Ology didn't he? He claimed, not unlike Douglas MacArthur, that despite the setbacks early in the year that he 'shall return'. However, unlike MacArthur and his defeat of the Japanese, he is yet to return.

That post should be stickied at the top of the board to remind everyone that just because someone is in a position of leadership doesn't mean they have any idea what they are doing or know better than the every day supporters they ridicule.

I remember that "scolding" he gave. He was on the money with that. There were many on here who expected fairy dust to be sprinkled and sponsors to appear. We absolutely stunk on ice and were very unattractive to any sponsors so that he did get sponsors was one thing he got right. The only ownership he didnt take is that he was one of main reason we were so unattractive. Also doesnt take away from the fact that he had a nasty dose of arrogance when he delivered the message here.

I seem to remember there was a very touching post from a 'lander who had found out they had cancer and talked openly about how they felt and the path to treatment. Can't recall who and can't find it on a search. Do remember it was very emotional and quite beautiful to read, and the replies were equally touching. Puts all of our petty squabbles and football losses into perspective.

Anyone know of this thread?

That was devastating to read and really puts things in perspective. The courage Two Sheds showed was nothing short of exemplary. Thank you for putting that up again Moonie.

Going back over that post, the thing that struck me was how big an ego he had. Seriously, we are a bunch of punters on a message board. Was he really that wounded that some of us were impatient in getting a new sponsor? That sponsorship, by the way, ended 2 weeks into the season and the whole company was on the verge of collapse a few weeks later. So much for finding 'the right fit' and due diligence.

Unlikely CK,

It's a re-build of a re-build.

Suspensions will cost us dearly.

Did Doctor Who ever make it to the Land or has he always chosen to stink up 'Ology exclusively?

Dr Who was definately on here a couple of summers ago....kept talking about how great Carlton were going to be...then thankfully went back to 'ology

Hopefully he went down with 'ology...

Wouldn't expect anything more from a classless, witless, dh like you.

Not only to make something up, but to think calling someone homosexual is an insult.

I think the exchange between Biff and Stuie might be symbolic of most of the posts on the 'Land. We start a topic, it eventually gets off track and ends up becoming personal sniping. Kudos to Biff and Stuie. Kudos.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
