    I recently joined the Flat Earth Friends group on Facebook, and I’ve never seen such a busy group in all my years of Facebook use! I’m positive that the vast majority are there to extract the urine, or for the laughs (I sure as hell am), of which there are plenty. You’ll encounter some of the best creative writing you’re likely to read, coupled with ideas and comments that are both pure genius and so astoundingly stupid at the same time, they’ll have you pulling your hair out by the roots
 as Molly would say, “Do yourselves a favour
”.

    But be warned, if you join the page, it will overrun your feed like an out of control Lantana infestation
 but still, I cannot recommend it highly enough regardless!!

    Brilliant. @Demonstone, your best work yet, methinks (sheepish self-identification notwithstanding).

    I've grown accustomed to the bulbous state: eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we diet.

    Lucky this enjoyable thread, and the equally enjoyable contributions it triggered, arrived before the end of 2023.

    It would have set a very high bar for 2024 honours.

    i’m offended. my brother stepped on a broken light bulb when he was 8 and died from sepsis from the infection. 

    very insensitive 

    delete thread immediately 

    news.com to post article “Forum to be cancelled due to ‘disgusting’ insensitive comments”

    At least one questioning the whole premise, another one asking what the hell is that about, a face slapper, and the obligatory you are the only one, must be a new comer. 

    If we don't change the way we produce electricity, the bulb problem doesn't matter. I think the real question is, how many Demon Landers does it take to change energy production? Otherwise, turning them on will lead to getting turned off, and the associated trauma.

    It takes a Village, with people from every side of the spectrum.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line 
 Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
