Queensland Demons

[Demondeb 8]

hi Guys and Gals

Three things to mention to you.. some will apply to you all and some to just the Queensland residents so please take from it what you will.

1) Voting - As we have lost Chip ( big surprise there eh?) we have the first opportunities to secure our choice of one of the new boys to come to the club… this includes our father/son Billy Stretch, our draftees (TBA) and our players received in trading period/s.

As soon as the National draft and pre-season draft are over and our list is finalised, the sponsorship issue will come up again. I have been asked to send the club a list of five players in order of preference on who we want to sponsor next year. It is really only the new boys that we can choose from - all the current day players bar Fitzy have guernsey sponsors already. So I need from you, a list in order of the new guys coming, who you would like to sponsor from 1-5. 1 being your fave down to 5 and as soon as possible. If you want to choose one of the upcoming draftees just put pick 2 or pick 3 in your choices.

Once I have the votes all in i will count them and make a list of the top 5 to be sent to the club.. Apparently as there are a few that have lost their players from last year, we might pick the same as our first choice so we would go into a ballot for that player ..if we dont get him, we go to our next selection etc etc..


2) By now you will probably know that the AFL has forgotten Queensland exists as a venue for away games for the MFC and for the second year in a row we miss out getting a game up here. It sucks big time and I am extremely displeased but I will endeavour to get some Demon action for us. The boys are coming to the Sunshine Coast in January for a 10 day camp which will obviously include one weekend.. I am going to find out just when and where they will be training and then suggest we make a group trip north to check them out. A weekend on Sunny Coast, perhaps bunking down in a caravan park or motels nearby and enjoy a bit of sun, fun, beach and Demon.

More details to come when i get info but would love to know if you are interested in a weekend trip?


3) Queensland Demons Xmas Lunch - Sunday 14th December Shearers Arms Hotel ( Peachey Rd Ormeau) 12 noon onwards. No charge, just come along, buy your lunch and drinks and enjoy meeting a few fellow Demons along the way. This is a regular event now and we want as many as possible. You will need to RSVP for table numbers by 5th December please.


Ok Thats all.. Hope to hear from you all soon..

Go Dees

Second year in a row there is no Brisbane game and no QLD game at all.

Sad state of affairs.

The only redeeming feature is that it forces me south to watch a couple of games other than QB.

The sad part for me is I lose the excuse to spend the weekend in Bris with my Brother.

If he a fellow Demon ?

Yeah, no Qld game for us makes it hard to catch up - just have to be the Labrador Grand again I guess Graeme.

The 2 NT games are a factor in the lack of Brisbane/Sydney games.

I'd love a Queensland game to fit in with a trip north to visit 2 ancient aunts and cousins numerous.

I wonder how many Demon supporters are the product of a Gregory Terrace/All Hallows union!

Any time Ray.

I have a time share two minutes walk from there.

Great spot.

I am envious!

Unfortunately no, was never a Dees supporter.

A bloody Lion supporter, went up there ten years ago ( approx. ) and jumped on when the amalgamated with the Roys.

You mean he has to suffer all those uneducated Lion supporters ? Poor chap, no disrespect.

We may need to have an ale at the Gabba/Metricon in 2016.

The AFL can't rape us 3 years in a row.

I would not put money on that one!

Im away working ATM - but kept an eye on the cricket. Did you see Younis's efforts. Went for 46 in final dig - pretty good after peeling off twin centuries than a double. Equalled Sir Len H they say.

Outstanding batting from Shehzad, Ali, Misbah and Khan although our attack was pedestrian.

I'll be at the Gabba for India on days 2 & 3.

[Whispering_Jack 30,019]

On players to sponsor, I did indicate Billy Stretch but given that it's the Queensland Demons why not Rohan Bail?

[spirit of norm smith 16,441]

Let's aim for Ben Newton ... I am expecting big things from him in 2015. Will make an impact right away IMO.
