Demonbracket 50 - Celebrating 50 Fruitless Years

[Demon3 2,541]

Incorrect my friend unless their were two similar occurrences.

That's exactkey what happened. Ball bounced near Lyon, he grabbed it, kicked the goal, but umpire had blown time off. Lyon them just told a Wiz to calm down, didn't tell him off.

I think Cuddles might have won that match up a few years ago . . .

[Brian Wilson 331]

Feeling pretty confident. That Schwartz guy isn't very popular is he? How could I lose to a guy whose nickname is 'Theo'?

You are in big trouble Willo !

Found Wiz v Balls to be the toughest choice before settling on Farmer.

This is an outrage. Three Brownlow medallists knocked out in Round 2. And you ask what is wrong with this club.

[NowWeKnow 130]

Melbourne supporter, tough as nails, 2 times "Bluey" winner and Victorian representative Laurie Fowler defeated by Greg Hutchison! Really? I guess that's the beauty of Demonbracket.

[Redbeard 497]

Flower vs Wight, my first badge vs my first guernsey number.

A huge surprise that one and an indication of the age of the majority of voters.

I'm not sure it matters. We all know it'll come down to Flower v Stynes.

You may be right

Of course old buggers like me are able to relate to Hardeman, Fowler et al more than the younger generation can.

That's fine.

[Grapeviney 9,717]

It's just dawned on me that I might have potentially possibly maybe almost for certain not quite have pressed the submit button in the preceding rounds.

Sorry Ricky Jackson - my failure to vote properly cost you a tie with Alistair Nicholson.

edit: no, I'm not responsible for the jackson defeat - he would have lost by 1 vote, not 2

Really hoping the Demonblog Solid Brown Dancers will be involved.

Surprised you're not at Manuka with an ale in hand.

Really hoping the Demonblog Solid Brown Dancers will be involved.

The late great dance troupe were sadly missed in this year's end of year spectacular. Apparently they've gone to Syria to fight with ISIS.

No surprises except the drop off in voting numbers.

[Red and Bluebeard 2,084]

I'm not sure it matters. We all know it'll come down to Flower v Stynes.

I am predicting Robbie over Jimmy by 55% to 45%.

Happy with the numbers considering it was held over 1 day rather than 2 (or more for the games that went across weekends).
