From an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies in which the Hollywood actor Dash Riprockā€™s (aka Homer Noodleman) friend and fellow actor Crunch HardtackĀ impressedĀ Jethro so much that he decided to giveĀ himself theĀ stage name of Beef Jerky... for some reason Hardtack seemed like a pretty good name to have.

    A close friend part-owned a racehorse called Dan Zephyr. I was previously Demon77 and was looking to change my display name early last year. The name Dee Zephyr was suggested to me by another member on here andĀ I thought it was fitting as the horse was goingĀ through a long drought of over two years without a win.Ā 

    A week or two after changing my name the horse comes out and wins his last ever race to endĀ the drought.Ā The name stays until the main drought is over.Ā

    Or if that's too far south for you, you could moveĀ to Kurnell just outĀ of Sydney. Obviously not Inner Kurnell. Far Kurnell is a much better place to be.

    Salute to the greatest political slogan I can remember. I believe Singleton came up with it for Labor's 1972 campaign which broke their 23 year electoral drought. Drought breaking hit an obvious nerve for a lifelong Dees supporter. When I chose it in about 2007 I thought we were entering the new era that was going to break our drought andĀ I didn't expect it to be relevant for more than a few years. Oh well. Will gladly replace it when it becomes redundant. Although by then it will be relevant to the 2 peat and then the 3 peat etc.Ā 

    The slogan and it's success had some significant impacts on my families lives. My brother had just been advised he was going in the next lottery for conscription to the Vietnam war. Whitlam won the election and immediately stopped conscription which probably saved my brother going there. He also brought in free tertiary education which I benefited directly from. That slogan heralded in one of the craziest political periods in our history. A breathtaking series of political reforms such as the Marriage Act and land rights and economic madness like the Khemlani affair and Junie Morosi. Who'll ever forget Al Grassby. Ahh they were the days. All leading to our greatest political crisis.Ā 

    What a slogan.

    My avatar succinctly sums me up. We were born on the same day. Not the same year though. I got the clown bit without the genius bit but hopefully a healthy sense of the absurd.Ā  Other less kind people might say I got the absurd without anything else. Anyhow..... It's Time.Ā

    Reminds me of an American sex education video we were shown in a Religious Studies class in about Year 9 at school. This was mid '70's. A kid was standing outside his High School with a beaming face proudly saying "I got it!"Ā

    I changed mine back in 2011 when we had a 96 pt win over Adelaide at home after being only 14pts up at half time. It was false dawn time and i was standing on the seats belting out the song as loud as i could after the siren. The line, "what do we sing" just stuck in my head all the way home as did the smile that always follows that line.....it became obvious upon returning home what needed to be done.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • WHATā€™S NEXT? by The Oracle

      Whatā€™s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facingĀ Ā intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, itā€™s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.Ā

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourneā€™sĀ performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
