We have a saying at our house, when people talk without saying anything. Lipflap

Commentators can be experts at lipflap, their lips are moving but nothing important is coming out.

Blah blah rhubarb rhubarb blah blah, what do you think (insert name) Oh yes blah blah blah rhubarb blah rhubarb rhubarb blah blah. I couldn't have said it better myself blah blah

If you can't add to the picture , please shut up.

Perhaps there should be an annual lipflap award. The Brian Taylor Lipflap Award for the most noise without content..

    I'd like to see something similar on Demonland. The (insert name of annoying Demonland poster) award for the most posting without valuable content. I know who I'd give it to.

    You understand how hangman works, don't you? You've got to come up with the letters, not me. But, to be fair, I need to tell you it's a single word of ten letters.

    for all we know the op can't even count correctly

    I'm pleased to say that in another thread chookfowler has correctly said "comparisons are odious".

    Which reminds me of Andy Maher continually saying "comparisons are onerous".

    And Rohan Connolly on the weekend said, "The proof is in the pudding". Never mind that the correct expression is "The proof of the pudding is in the eating".

    You don't put brandy, 100 proof, in your Christmas pudding ???

    The difference is for the most part they can see the whole ground, that's what you lose from watching on TV and so much happens off the ball that they could be telling us about.

    . So pi55es me off no end the continual zooming in on a player especially one having a kick from a free or mark, whilst there may be some interesting tactical maneuvering down field.

    Cometti-ism - "Simpson with delusions of adequacy."

    Apologies if it has been posted.

  • Quote

    Some of Cometti's best work.

    'If he kicks this there is no telling what the score will be'

    'if they keep winning they will be hard to beat this season'

    On Brock McLean - "wow he is deceptively slow"

    One of his and my favourites 'he crept up on him like a librarian, no one heard him coming'

    Bruce's best of all time.

    Collingwood v West coast approx. 8 years ago, both Shannon and Dean Cox playing. Dean Cox goes for a run down the wing, what followed next still make me laugh to this day.

    'ohhhh Denis, I like Cox, not little Cox, big Cox'

    He went into the pack optimistically but came out misty optically.

  • Quote

    very start of the match, they're rabbiting on about how it was uncharacteristic from the co-captain jones, needs to redeem himself, he won't be happy with himself etc etc.. then the replay FINALLY reveals that it was in fact Spencer who gave away the free and Cross who gave away the 50.. and when this was clear they didn't even bother correcting themselves. Pack of utter dheads.

  • Quote

    A few years ago when the TV commentary team were discussing who they'd choose to kick for goal if their life depended on it, Cometti suggested he'd like his mother to take the shot. Then he explained that she mightn't be the best kick for goal but at least she'd care.

  • Quote

    'you can bet your money they'll take a look at that' trying to argue that Kent raised an elbow while being tackled, which he obviously did not.. yeah good one zempilas you [censored]

    Edit: spelling

    Suggesting that your mum "take a shot" is a bit vulgar!

    OK Dee-vina you have tantalized me for too long. It must be Demonflogg. ( Forgive my spelling but I had to make it fit. Please please say I'm correct!

    Absolutely. I'm not interested if the player needs a shave. Why oh why do they do it?

    Can we switch from Hangman to Wheel of Fortune? Then you could buy a vowel (of which there are three...all different).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
