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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
