Legend? Absolute champion, please! Great name to have, and well selected. I still have dreams about the accuracy of his clearances and his superb kicking to a teammate some 60 metres away....and his desire for the ball no matter what! Only the opposition 'stagers' got a kick off him - and that was gifted by some snot-gobbling umpire misreading the purity of his work ethic. 

He was a pretty handy pinch hitter as a forward on his day too (mainly later in his career I seem to remember).  Probably struck a bit of Tony Lockett fear factor into anyone that got into his space, but was a dam good kick for goal as well and didn't waste many opertunities.

    A skuit is a woman's suit worn with a skirt in place of pants. Pretty self-explanatory really.

    Any time a blast doesn't fire as intended, you dont accept blame yourself, you blame a faulty detonator.

    Had a few clearance divers work for me overseas in the Sollys.  Great blokes, but boy do they enjoy a beer.

    We play with "bomb" almost every day. Sometimes firing over 1000 tonnes at a time.

    The military guys are much more limited in their play time, due to funding.

     

    Must have been a faulty det

    One of my favourite bands is Demented Are Go!, a Welsh psychobilly band who started in the early 80s and are amazingly still going despite decades of debauchery. 

    Featuring demonic hits such as: 

    Satan’s rejects, House of Blood, Love seeps like a festering sore, Who put grandma under the stairs, Queen of disease, Brand new corpse, Cripple in the woods and Demon angel.

    No brainer, really.

    Plus the Thunderbirds reference in the band name, which I loved as a kid.

    Still waiting for Jaded to respond and explain whether her real name is Jade with a surname starting with D or whether her user name is just a description about how she feels. Or both.

    At the time I joined Demonland we were a joke on and off the field and if you didn't laugh you'd have to cry. Hence, a kind of comedy. 

    Note: I'm not a fan of users changing their names without explanation. In the spirit of full disclosure, I changed my name once - but only because I couldn't spell Comedia correctly.

    Great locals (Once you knew how to duck under a machete). The Govt withdrew my Visa when the Mine called Force majeure after a cyclone dumped 1000mm in 48hrs.

    During a heavy day with the lads at a pub early 2000's I was watching one of Troy Broadbridge's early awkward games and after a surprising piece of play yelled at the TV "go you big red fire engine". I followed him with curiosity during his early time at Sandy and across his 40 games for the MFC. I joined this site the year after his passing and it just felt right at the time as a reminder that there is so much more than football. 

    And Peter Walsh was the Little Red Fire Engine.

    I am Big Kev because Stephen Tingay autographed one of my Demons Caps as To Big Kev, since then that cap has been signed by Robert Flower (RIP), Steven Armstrong and Nathan Jones.

    A nice collection of No.2 greats signatures on thay hat Big Kev.  What an awsome bit of genuine supporter memorabilia.  These days the professional collector types etc would probably pay a mint for something that, but I'm tipping that to you it's a priceless keep sake you're not willing to part with for a price.

    Correct, some of them are extremely hard to read now, but I know who signed it.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
