    It's possibly true of many, if not most, here, but it's particularly true in this case: you are a rich tapestry, @WalkingCivilWar 😊

    Awww thanks (I think?)

    Since it’s you Tim, I take it that’s a compliment.

    @Salems Lot - what's yours a reference to?

    @Webber - I do think of bbq's and cooking!!

    Indeed - I do like my cooking. Not a naked chef though, but good food access the heart and souls of people. And when I was younger led to romantic encounters!

    It is probably a bit of my latent cheeky side - most peoples head goes to a certain place when they hear the word 'engorged'...

    The onion bit is a work reference... to peeling back the layers of the individual to appreciate their 'core'.

    Mine is merely a Dad Gag referring to our wonderful #3 and the Stephen King novel.

    Previously I was How?Jeremy Howe but sadly that became untenable

    @Nasherit's definitely Dean-ox. Nickname started in highschool and has continued ever since, there might have been a bit of a David Schwartz reference in there originally as well given my love for the Dees at the time.

    @WalkingCivilWarsometimes I forget that's still my avatar, as it's the only one I've ever had. I had probably just read Clockwork Orange for the first time when I created my Demonland account all those years ago!

    Mine is some of my initials. I thought, jeepers, ya dope, you probably shouldn't have most of your name in a public forum, hence changing it to not all my initials haha. Very boring story.

    And good memory @Salems Lot.

    Yes, mine is a tip to all those MCC Officials (the Blue Coats in the old days), who stand at the gate preventing entry into the “members enclosure”, usually on the grounds of how you look. And, no matter how hard you plea your case that your collarless shirt or ripped jeans are state of the art designer fashion statements,  I have never seen one of them back down. “Call them what you will sir, those jeans are ripped…….” These confrontations have always made me laugh! My avatar, is of course, the great John Cleese, during his “upper class twit of the year” phase. “I’ll let you draw your own conclusions there!!!! Anyway, a brilliant thread for this down time between seasons!!! Go Dees

    My username is simply a combination of two of my greatest loves - The Rolling Stones (hence the Keith Richards avatar) and Melbourne Football Club.

     

    Similar to this thread - always thought the Stones were singing about 'pistachio ice-cream' as a kid. Easy guess as to the song?

    I always read @WalkingCivilWar as a reference to themselves being extremely uncoordinated, clumsy or injury prone. No offence 😅

    All of the above, Nascent! 😂

    So no offence taken. It is indeed a multifaceted username.

    The exact opposite, Loges. A pacifist til the end. In fact I was gonna change my username on February 24th this year, the day Russia invaded Ukraine. I didn’t like having the word “war” in my name. 😢

     I never knew the origin of your name. That’s so funny. 😁

    I always love it when people firmly agree or disagree with 'A F' in their posts, because of the abbreviation. As in...

    "That umpire's call was definitely soft AF."

    Is it "Gimme Shelter" (It's just a shot away)?

    edit:  No, it's not!

    A little off-topic I know, but since when has that ever stopped me, amirite?! 

    One day I got to thinking about how if someone dies suddenly their online contacts may never know. To this end I had a convo with my middle son. I said, “if I was to die suddenly, don’t worry about FB, nor Insta, nor any of the band forums I’ve ever been on, there’s just one thing I want you to do online. I want you to tell my friends on Demonland that I’m dead. You don’t have to create an account, just log in under my account and let them know.”

    He said, “so, to be clear… if you die you want me to log into your fan forum, as you, to tell them you’re dead. Okaaay” 😳

    So I said “ok then, create your own account for the purpose. You could call yourself SOWCW as in Son Of WCW.” He said, “nah, I’d be Walking Civil Unrest, and he (points to his younger brother) can be Walking Minor Spat.”  😂

    Yep, we put the FUN in dysFUNctional!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
