A Day In The Life Of A Demonland Thread


Demonstone

Recommended Posts

‘Demonstone’ you forgot ‘rjay’ 

‘rjay’ always uses quotation marks when addressing posters. It’s an ‘rjay’ thing. So, ‘demonstone’ please remember ‘rjay’ next time.

Sir Why You Little:     This is what a typical Demonland thread looks like.

Lord Nev:     No it's not.  I'm sorry SWYL, but you've got it all wrong.

binman:     I'd like to add a brief comment but we all know that's not bloody likely.

old dee:     This thread will never be any good.  It's doomed to fail dismally.

picket fence:     Sheeeit!!!!!  I'm more EXCITED about this thread than BIG KEV could ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Jaded No More:     I (censored) hate Geelong and this thread is almost as bad.

Clintosaurus:     The umpires will influence this thread.  It's the narrative that the AFL and media want.

Lucifers Hero:     Can the thread title be changed to "What They Are Saying At Brunton Avenue"?

daisycutter:     i don't see how capital letters could possibly improve this thread.

Ethan Tremblay:     This thread has sewn up a trade coup for MFC.  Make of that what you will.

Bitter but optimistic:     Has anybody "maid" a double entendre yet?

WalkingCivilWar:     Have some "manors" Uncle Bitters.  Soz, but Ima say it anyways.

faultydet:     Sigh.  This is just more woke virtue signalling.

rpfc:     I've nothing to say but here's a GIF for you.

Cranky Franky:     I object to everybody and everything in this stupid thread.

dazzledavey36:     I've been watching this thread since its junior days and knew it would make the top level.

willmoy:     This is a biased thread because of the maggots.

adonski:     This thread would be far better if Jacob van Rooyen was in it.

Demonstone:     Oh dear.  This thread is riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

WERRIDEE:     I've made up a possible team using the names of all the posters in this thread.

Demonland:     This thread is now closed.  Take it to the "Changes For Next Thread" please.

 

Could not have said it better dstone.

I miss Deeluded.

Couldn't write a sentence to save himself but.. 

I miss trying to decipher what the bloody hell he was on about! You tried clarifying and he'd take you down some other weird and wonderful rabbit hole. It was like having a conversation with the serial pest, Peter Hore!

I know this thread will likely run 4-6 weeks, but there’s a better than even chance it’ll run longer.

Back then dl was convinced that the Northern Stand 'people' were the sole reason as to why we never won games ... it was all their fault

And the hub of course ... if we, as a group, had a place to visit after the games to have a coffee, we'd have also won more games

None of it ever made any sense

However, he is missed as he was part of what we are - a motley crew

From memory, his logic was something along the lines of there being too many backslappers in the Northern Stand that detached young players from reality and gave them too high an opinion of themselves. If there were only a community hub, they might start rubbing shoulders with salt of the earth types like himself and becoming more humble and better footballers. Supposedly, coaches no longer being able to give Ron Barassi/Norm Smith style sprays didn't help things either.

Never mind that we had a VFL quality midfield in 2012, a generation of draftees who either went on to success elsewhere or were wound up after 50 odd games, a CEO who was making draft selections, a sponsorship deal with a inveterate racist internet troll whose business model was built on a house of sand, and a coach whose first post game presser is used in AFL training circles as an example of not what to do.

I'm sure the latter set of examples had nothing to do why we were shot. It was all the social club and Northern Stand.

Deeluded's rants about the Northern Stand & the would-be hub in Elwood were priceless

Every day for close on 10 years.  Multiple posts per day as well on both non-talking points.  Stickability skills to the fore

And how about Rhino & Bub? ... the use of the like-type function only for those 2 now

 

Putting on a chastity belt and throwing away the key for them.

When you say “Connected in some way to the MFC” does emotionally connected count?

Asking for a friend who’s psych. ward level obsessed with the MFC and if brutally honest would admit to loving the Dees more than her own children. And not just a little more. A bunch more.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
