One of my favourite covers of all time

Love this! Funny how you can not like a song much until you hear a superb cover of it.

    And that song Calling You from Baghdad Cafe is so good! Another film from that era was the Coen Brothers effort, Raising Arizona.

    Raising Arizona is a great move. As are most Coen Brothers movies. Fargo and No Country For Old Men are my faves.

    I always imagine, that is exactly how it would have started... some dude/dudette, with some words, on a guitar...before production.

    Pies first gamer, Irish recruit Anton Tohill is son of Anthony Tohill who played a game for us in the 90’s. He is listed as 200 cm! Interesting to see how he goes. 

    Mmmm.  So just a few games short for a father and son pick for us then - no doubt Scott would  have a public gripe though had dad play for the Cats.

    And then it usually goes south at that point.

    Not sure if I've seen that one. Will put it on the to do list for a rainy weekend.

    It’s so good! I guess lockdown’s not all bad: you get the opportunity to discover new stuff to watch.

    Just watched a few minutes only as I really DGAF re the result.  (We need to only think  of winning our games and ignore the rest, given that we are still currently on top.  Any other mindset will lead to another season of MFCSS disappointment).

    Has the distance required for a mark been reduced to 8 meters, without the public being informed?  And holding on after a mark is apparently now ok. 
     

    7 commentary again awful.  “Was that deliberate? Oh, didn’t go out??”

    Correction - 4 meters, it seems.

    Just watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics, like so many other events without crowds it just isn’t the same. Plus the amount of people involved it makes it look like it’s a dress rehearsal. Feel sorry for those involved, their opportunity at being a part of something special and it’s (yet another thing) ruined by the pandemic.

    Such an upbeat Ceremony. Great to see a nod to macrame at the start

    I swear to god I’m losing the will to live watching this opening ceremony. And then the other option is watching Port vs Pies. 
    Life is so hard.

    I wonder what the Japanese theme for the torch lighting will be?  Kamikaze pilot??

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
