great post - but I note with interest that you are only an annual member not a life member.

I question your loyalty that you have only signed up for one year.

Before I realised that you had only signed for one year I thought your posts were valuable and insightful but now I believe they have little merit and will be no great loss if you decide not to sign up again.

I have heard a rumour that you are hanging out hoping to be picked up by a more successful fan forum like "The Punt Road End".

The good news is that if P-Man does go we can get a very high compensation poster pick and cherry pick posters from Saintsational fan forum.

(good job P-man)

    How long did you work on this for?

    Best read on demonland for 116 days.

    Take an extra 10 minutes at lunchtime and have yourself skinny latte.

    And a better page to read than rpfc's manifesto.

    I thought you were a full cream man, jazza ... :blink:

    Excellent. But I can't believe 2 things so far:

    I can't believe no one has taken umbrage and occupied a couple of pages of useless back and forth argy bargy. Well done so far DLanders.

    I can't believe that if the colour of the sky is wrong, it's not somehow Jack Watts' fault. (And there's a little bit of self deprecation in that!)

    Edit: spelling.

    the sky is blue, in my eyes anyway... fluid, prefer a low light blue myself, of the evening hue.

    wrong colour for bbo, not enough amber in it for him/her, not sure. sunset hues for shore

    daisy wants to know how to tax it, & make it work smart for him...

    robbie f; just wants to own it, but for others to pay for him to take it home with him. 'he deserves it in his eyes', so he's just taking it.

    eyebrows, working silently undercover behind the scenes, trying to turn the sky into a neck tie. a work in progress... ssshh. jkennett wants it cut up into pieces & sell it off to the highest bidders.

    fan thinks its so random & inefficient, it lacks logical skills, & its a bit slow, old school. could be smartened up somewhat.

    wyl wants it to pull its finger out & blow harder. except on washing day.

    human headline wants to look down on the angry sky, but just can't seem to get up to heaven to do so ???

    wilbur wants to serenade it & rock it baby.... what he wants to do to it after, worries me.

    Well of course it's all Jack Watts fault - just goes without saying these days. No point in harping on about it. Roos keeps sticking up for him so even though we all know Jacks to blame for the silly blue sky, it's ok because Roos says it is!

    I think rpfc would want to analyse and classify the sky on a number of criteria (for example hue, saturation, contrast, depth, air quality) to determine how our sky compares with the sky in 17 other selected regions of Australia. He could tell whether the sky at sunrise was brighter compared to the elite sky overhead, or the sky at sunset, and how much C-grade or D-grade cloud cover could be sustained before the sky stopped looking like sky we expected to have. Then we'd all have to move somewhere else because the sky was never going to look good again.

    The question for many on here is not what colour the sky is but whether it's falling or not.

    Bring on the Adelaide sky on Sunday. Let's watch it collapse and destroy the Power. Dees by 27. Blue sky thinking!

    hmmn, an Adelaide 'Blue Sky' do you think we'd have the resources to 'Mine' that Blue Sky?

    Given that it's multi-cultural round, and with some fusion of theme of this thread and the 2014 draft thread, maybe we should look at rookieing that Korean prospect... Song-sung-blue?

    Good work P man!!!

    However, I have to admonish you for missing my old mate Stuie.

    If I may?

    "The sky is blue at the moment but if someone else says it's blue - fu ck them, it must be green. And fu ck the green sayers too - they are wrong - it must be red.

    I'll have a go at those bastards who say it's red too. Weak bastards, where is the evidence? My evidence is real evidence and it is right!

    I say it's purple but Biffen says it's purple too - he must be stalking me. It's really yellow!

    Fu ck all you bastards, I'm not going to post for a month just to teach you all a lesson"

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.
