    Wow, sounds like Family Day was fun! 
    I wouldn’t know since I didn’t see any of the happenings described in the above posts. Which is fantastic because it means that we were absolutely flat out for the entire time. We literally did not stop for a solid three-hour period. A couple of hours beforehand to set up and a couple of hours afterwards to clean/pack up. I didn’t get home until 4:30.

    But totes worth it. More giant heads on the horizon! Speaking of, what happens to giant heads of players who leave us? I’m glad I asked! We raffle them. And look who got to come home with me!

    No surprise since I reckon I bought 95% of the tickets. 😁

    PS: to the ‘Landers who came by to say hello… I’m sorry if I appeared rude but as mentioned above we were under the pump the entire time and I simply couldn’t take a break. But thanks all the same for coming by. 

    So you sleep in Fritsch's bed and take Jayden home...and I thought you were a wholesome type...😉

    Clearly mistaken!🙃

    If a Bunnings brunch is not good enough for you, then you are the problem!

    Fritta wasn’t in his bed at the time and Jayden’s made of cardboard, so… reputation intact. 😇

    oh, and i had this image of you sitting in the kitchen,  stirring purloined threads from fritta's bed cover in a bubbling cauldron, whilst chanting magical incantations, in a desperate attempt to breathe life into a cardboard jayden facsimile.......reputation be buggered!

    Are cauldrons still a thing? Like, can you even buy them anywhere now? Do they still make them?

    Snapped up a Kaboodle Kauldron at your Snag Rivals, Bunnings, just yesterday, WCW.

    Though have been trying to follow graphic-rich, word-free instructions to attach legs ever since. Allen key, tossed angrily, defying recovery.

    So we’ve met but didn’t realise it, DZ. I was the one who took your money!

    Glad you enjoyed the snags, as well as the day on the whole. ❤️💙

    Yes we did WCW although my daughter and grandaughter placed the order and paid, how terrible that Coles let the Demon Army down on such a critical day. We were coming back for seconds after the players left but the queue was out of control you ladies were flat chat.👍

    You'll have to find that aisle yourself.

    The 16 year old stoner will try to help, buy ultimately give up.

    'What's a cauldron do? So, it's sort of like a bucket? Maybe try the cleaning aisle? Number? Um, down that way? It's hot in a cauldron? Um, maybe try  the outdoor sections where they have those outdoor heater thingos. Yeah, nah, sorry man, can't help'

    Unfortunately this isn’t an isolated incident, DZ. Similar has happened before. But we always somehow manage to avert disaster. At one BBQ at Gosch’s two BBQs we’d ordered for delivery at 8am didn’t arrive until 10:15am. In the meantime though, a couple of members ducked out and brought a BBQ from home. We always find a way. ❤️💙

    Sincere thanks to you and indeed everyone who enjoyed our wares. Happy to say we made a great profit and y’all look out for new flags n giant heads this season!

    Also happy and proud to report our cake stall and raffles made $2300 which goes straight to BBB’s Chop The Mop cause. 💕

    Outstanding effort yesterday as usual. Not many people put their hands up to contribute to community/social based organisations anymore unfortunately. We’re lucky that there are enough people like you and the rest of the Demon Army who are selfless and civic minded and give back. We’re very grateful. Thank you @WalkingCivilWar

    Thanks so much, BDA. 💕 But at the risk of sounding cheesy af, we do what we do out of love for the Dees. On a personal level, I’m just rapt to have found a bunch of people who are as insanely devoted as I am, to the point of obsession. 😁

    My youngest son is also grateful as he knows that the time and energy I put into the DA would otherwise be channeled his way which would suck because apparently I’m annoying. 🤣

    Australia has the fifth highest rate of volunteerism in the world. Reliable stats comparing year-on-year increases and deceases in volunteerism are hard to come by, as scales of measurement and variables constantly change. But any increase/decrease is generally accepted as being small.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
