My calendar tells me it is the start of the Chinese New Year and is the year of the Tiger. Somebody please tell them it is the Year of the DEMON. Tiger has had his time.

For NFL watchers, the Cincinnati Bengals just made their first SuperBowl since the 80s and could win their first ever.

Richmond can get stuffed though.

The TAB has a "Year of the Tiger" promotion where you can get Richmond Tigers and West Tigers to both make the finals at $8.

The trouble is West Tigers are projected to come bottom 2 in the NRL. 

 

I was born in the Chinese Year of The Rooster and my astrological sign is Taurus.

You might think this is a c ock and bull story, but it's true.

Well DS I was also born in the year of the Rooster and I am a well balanced Libran and I am surrounded by combinations of numbers adding up to nine. My birth date and year combine to 999 what does it mean.????

You're just short of being a grand individual?  Or you're an upside down devil worshipper?

Just kidding.  You're a grand Demon worshipper!

I brought this up last year when ppl were talking about number patterns etc. Since and including 1964 the Dees have only played in Grand Finals in the year of the Dragon. So I figured 2024 would be our year. Still might be right! Now I’m curious as to why the dragons on these guernseys. 2012 was the year of the Dragon so it’s not just a coincidence (?)

Richmond won 2 of theirs in years of the Pig and the Rat.

And to think I never believed in astrological hocus pocus.

Anyone who believes this smoke and mirrors stuff also believes things happen for a reason.What utter Tosh!  If you win tattslotto or get hit by a bus it is all random. Dont get me started on philosophies of life, death and most importantly winning premierships! Albert Camus was on the money. Existentialism is not neccesarily a bad way to look at things. Chinese calendars? Bah!

I think the dragon (instead of the demon) was used for the Chinese audience.

It was either that or we got rebranded as the Guangzhou Gweilos.

I was born in the year of the Tiger, which means this will be a year of good luck for me. So rest assured the Dees are going back to back and Richmond can get stuffed. 

I was born so long ago I forget exactly when

but I forget where I left my keys

my phone

my wallet 

my pants

Not quite. You have to buy a Tattslotto ticket and you have to put yourself in the vicinity of the bus to give it a chance!

On the other hand, I find it depressing that more people know their star sign than their blood group.

Full disclosure: I'm a Scorpio with A+ blood.

Hey Pickett I now begin to understand why I have always enjoyed your contributions.

intriduced to Camus at school age I have always nominated as an existentialist. I did adopt an interest in Chaos theory which nicely confused and satisfied me.

Agree with you totally on the humbug of not only Chinese calendars but an array of beliefs, but I do reserve the right for healthy scepticism and a never ending search for infotrivia.

i am of course much more satisfied with life now that I am recognised as a premier supporter 

I spoke to my personal horoscope consultant this morning and he told me "The sun shines out of Uranus". 

He then went on to say that the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is about to align with Mars.  The next bit was a bit hard to catch, but I think this is what he said.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
