    The Wolf of Wall Street was funded by stolen money from the Malaysian government. (1MDB)

    Ex PM finally started a 12 year prison stretch last night.

    OK @WalkingCivilWar and others from the Demon Army:

    the players are doing this after a win:

     

    Can the Army start it it the crowd so that it becomes our mark

    What a great idea! I’m gonna suggest it right now on our WhatsApp chat!!!

    I dunno about this idea… it’s the players’ thing and I believe they do it if they keep the opposition below 60 points.
     

    Would love to see it once in the crowd with 2 minutes left in a grand final we’re about to win but I feel if we see it done 5 times a week in the crowd it kinda cheapens a concept they clearly bond around.

    Agree It's  the players private celebration 

    Supporters can do it any time they want after a win etc.

    Memory is a little foggy from the broadcast, but didn't they say it was more about winning and keeping the oppo under 60 points? I think it might have been Nathan Jones who talked about it pre-game somewhere.

    Maybe it's just me, but that would have seemed a more appropriate celebration for the 2006 West Coast Eagles to engage in considering the contents of what Matthew McConaughey spoke about in that restaurant.

    That said, I reckon we should do it if we knock off the Filth. Rightly or wrongly, they consider us bourgeoise scum. I say we throw that back in their face in a manner they hate.

    100% it was this.

    well actually 99% it was this - I think it was 63 points (as their average)...anyway, it wasn't the win, it was the defensive effort they celebrated.

    I read the book before the movie came out. Great read, ordinary movie.

    Personally, like the Dogs and "Freed From Desire", it's best kept out of the public's eye.

    Yeah, great to see it but I'd have preferred it kept under wraps.
    Surprised they left the door open TBH.

    Diamond - was that funding for the movie or for the wolf himself?

    Love our team song, hate the delivery.  What I mean by this is that music that accompanies the words and the way it is sung is so 1950ish for the want of better words. It is so last century, tired , old, way past its use by date. Not inspiring at all. I’m an old bugger and I reckon it’s old!

    Please don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change one word, it’s perfect, in fact I believe it should never ever be changed.  It’s just the delivery.

    When our boys ‘sing’ it in the rooms after a big win it is like a war cry, a chant, bearing no resemblance to what is played over the PA system at the G that we try and sing to. 


    I love hearing some of our younger crew belting out the words on train going home after a big win. The tempo that they deliver it in is exactly how team belts it out. Sounds great.

    Would love to see some professional musicians bring the ‘tune’ into the 21st century. The formula is already there, up the tempo, modernise the music  so that it matches what our boys do. That way it would be a powerful chant that we could get going at the end of the game.

    Could you imagine if the music was modified and played on the PA after a win at the G. I could really imagine the vast majority of our supporter base ripping into the ‘chant’ (rather than try and ‘sing’ it).   Combine it with beating our hearts. It could be our new trade mark.  It would be magnificent and intimidating all at the same time.  (Bit like the INXS theme that Port do at the start of their home games, it is just so effective).

    If you don’t like the idea and think it should all stay the way it had been, all good.

    Ah yes, 'modern' theme songs, what could go wrong....

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
