Where are you Demons?

Country vic - Gippsland.

150 k to a game.....

150 k makes for a long depressing drive home after a 440 sunday thrashing.

I feel your pain, northern country vic, small town called Murchison. Those drives home and the stop at Wallan north bound to feed the mini onedays can be very painful at times especially when all three get out of the car still proudly wearing their #4, 7 and 24 on their MFC guernsey.

Beech forest,3 hour drive and would prefer etihad{yes i know you hate it} to the "G"{especially with smaller crowds]

Dont know where norway is,never been on a plane.

Also not sure about pig farmers.{Josh}dairy farmers are definitely smarter.

How does that work jazza ?

Pig farmers don't have to get up at some god unearthly hour to milk them every day!

They dont get to pull on teats.

They stink like old men{similar to yourself}.

They all look the same and its difficult to remember their names.{pigs that is}

They dont do what the dog tells them.{the pigs and the farmer]

Last but not least,a dairy farmer will be proud to introduce his occupation,a pig farmer says he is an IT expert.

Well lads , being of modest disposition, i hate to brag but I'm currently luxuriating in a 5 plus star resort near DaNang. The only thing football like is the pool which is about the size of the MCG. The pool itself runs down to the beach but the walk is a little too taxing for me. Solution. So I feign a disability and have a couple of the servants wheel me down. With a fan , umbrella and constant supply of the local brew.

I would have fitted in well to the colonial period.

I thought you were going to say that you rolled yourself into the pool ie. what they do in the logging industry in Canada and float on down to the beach.

For the last 12 months: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently back in Victoria for a month before heading back for another stint in Addis, so looking forward to actually seeing us play live against the cats with my old man (Geelong supporter). Been a long time since we played them at the G!

Ethiopia must be an awesome experience.

I trust you are spreading the good news of the oval shaped ball to the locals while you're over there?

Bit hard at the moment with the World Cup going on ;) But on a side note, there are high altitude training facilities here that would surely be far cheaper to use than the ones in the US!

While you are home,without hesitation call AFL headquarters.

They love these stories and are quite happy to spend some money by sending a pump and 100 footies back with you.

My son did some volunteer work Os and the afl had no hesitation in giving some supplies for him to disperse.

Hmm, I've got a long list of stuff I want to take back with me already! But will have to consider that. I think there is some promo work happening in Kenya at the moment so who knows maybe they'll be able to ship something over.

Dc, I have off course used the palanquin method but it has some inherent dangers - if one of the lazy beggars crumples under the load the result can be very undignified indeed.

Try a couple of crow bars Bitty, that'll get you rolling. Make sure all your bits are securely tucked in first.

I live approximately 5kms from the MCG. Would love to live in the country though - had enough of city life.

I lived and worked in Zambia and the DRC for the best part of 6 years. Some of the things I've seen and experienced are quite amazing (and disturbing) when looking back at them.

I have no idea what you do there Ascobar (I was in mining) but some of the more satisfying things we did as expats were to visit childrens orphanage's of which there were plenty of. We'd take along a few bags of maize meal and whole chickens which as you would know makes up the main staple diet - along with Kapenta (dried minnow like fish). We used to take the Sherrin along as well and taught the kids how to kick and handball and eventually tried to run some training drills. It was highly amusing to say the least.

Such an amazing continent. Enjoy your time there.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
