Dear All,

I don't post these days, but am highly entertained by this site,  and rumours of my death are somewhat exaggerated.

I am pleased to see TGR has survived all the death threats over all the years. I did dispatch the Benalla bikies some years ago to end his career, but they got distracted by some good-looking women in Clonbinane.

It may be fake news, but I have read that the Russians have paid Trump to send Special Forces personnel to protect TGR from harm, and Demonland gets a dollar for every TGR post from the Russian foreign aid budget.

As a teenager in 1964 watching Hassa Mann miss from point-blank range, and the hulk Gabilich wander down the ground with no Demon in pursuit, I was crying too hard to see Crompton kick the winning goal to deliver our last premiership, but I watched it many times on the replay. His opponent (as back-pocket) would have been one of the Collingwood rovers, Norman or Bone, but they are nowhere in sight on the replay. The players all had day jobs back then, and match fitness and forward-line pressure had not been invented. Lots of the guys had a smoke at three-quarter time.  

My ticker did not skip a beat in '64, but I nearly had a heart attack today, and it was just a home-and-away game. Can we start a petition to the players? Win big or lose big, but no more close games please or the baby boomers might die.

Regards to old friends and old enemies. Steely glare for TGR.   :)

Our first four point win (against Collingwood) on the G. since that day?

Rollo! Classic. 

 

Thankfully, half the posters on here would have no idea who TGR is.

Good to hear your still kicking Rollo. Pitty the footy forum games have have extinct since your retirement.

Living in Wang dow days mate so would love to catch up for a beer.

At least the Demonland Dees seldom subjected you to nail biters. I think Carlton once got within a kick on the soccer field at Gosch's Paddock, but that was about it. Enjoy Rollo.

The other half just wish they had no idea who TGR is!

Nice to see you're still kicking Rollo - there was a time that you were an integral part of the only thing successful involving the red and the blue.

Well played and hoping we'll share some greater success in the near future!

Well said Rollo but the Russkis aren't paying Demonland a zac for TGR's posts.

The Chinese Government in Beijing on the other hand, have sent in 1000 yuan for your post and promised ten times that much if you can organise an interforum game against Saintsational at the end of the season.

Rollo - please rejoin the permanent fray - this site is lacking in death-threats somewhat and especially in conspiracy-narrative. Do you think Comrade Neeld may have been in cahoots with the Russkis? If not directly, I think it's telling that when you google 'Mark Neeld', the predictive auto-fill comes up with 'Mark Neeld's daughters' or 'Mark Neeld's family' - clearly a man under serious duress.

Well,(expletive deleted), nothing changes.

(Although I had lots of offers from well-endowered Young Russian girls while trying to get to this site.

Hey, bush. I can think of 5 such wins since '64.

Roger. Yep, demonology was a blast, but we are all serious demonlanders now and the thought police are monitoring our every word.

Deestroy (!!). I would have thought you would have drunk yourself to death by now. Way to go, mate. I hope your liver makes it to the next dees finals campaign.

Dazzle. You will pay for a Brown Brothers fine white wine, but give me a call. My number has not changed from the inter-forum days when we were [censored]-cared that dazzle had missed the train again. (m) 0408 698 328.

Wise, we got beaten by Saintsational on a day you were not available. Captain Wise never played in a losing demonland/demonology forum team, but a Royal Commision has been announced into the goal umpy's call of our last gasp kick for goal in the very first saintsational match. Can't quite recall who that goal umpy was. :) I do recall the idiot demonlander who posted on site the next day that he thought his kick went the wrong side of the post !!

Desciple, reading on here , I can't believe that 99% of people have not heard of the great TGR. It's like reality TV - you gotta have some bad guys. If we win a premirship, Rono will criticise the interchange decisions and call for the sacking of the coach. A poster on here once accused me of being TGR. I have never felt so insulted in my entire life.

Finally, I don't think this site needs rollo when it has skuit. One intelligent and erudite person is surely too much?

Considering I rarely ever drink, and certainly never posted about drinking, I don't know if I'm sad because you've confused me with someone else or because you've lost your [censored] mind. 

If I drank whilst watching this team for the last 10 years, well I probably only would've lasted 5. 

Good to read you anyway, Rollo. Post more, we need a Deeluded replacement.

Sorry, mate. Just banter. It was you and the Tasmanian who used to wonder about the relationship between my drinking and some of my rambling posts back in the days of the demonology chatroom. Best wishes. Rollo

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
