That’s completely untrue

I find Roost and a few others play an important role to steadying my mood after a disappointing loss. It's like the steam coming out his ears is releasing pressure from inside my head as well.

The extent to which I agree socially validates the frustration I'm also feeling. The extent to which I think Roost sometimes goes too far resets my thinking to argue the case for the positive.

We're an ecosystem in here. The demonland terrarium!

Thank you, DZ. But because they live in Poland I’ll not be able to hold the little bundle of joy probs until mid next year when they visit Aus. All good though, meantime I’ll be spoiling and fawning from afar. 😅

My son and his partner aren’t into footy at all. But of course they know how much I adore our beloved Dees. Last night I told them I’m gonna buy MFC and DA membership for the yet-to-be-born little one. My son’s reply…

Funny [censored]-er, isn’t he. 🙄 

Congratulations WCW .... I became a grandparent just over a year ago. I can certainly recommend it.

My daughter is a Demon (of course). We watched the GF together. And one of my most treasured photos is of the 2 of us with the Premiership Cup. However her husband is Carlton, and he's more 'into' footy than my daughter, so my beautiful granddaughter will be a Bluebagger.

It could be worse ... filth, Essendon, Richmond, Jee-long ... (I'd forgotten how many teams I really hate.)

Hahaha, I think you’ll find I’ve been very positive in years gone by. I’m just not feeling it this year even though I still believe we can win, I just think it more likely we’ll crash and burn.

Not gonna lie;

Going through a football season thinking 'we should be on top of this' while the team stumbles around with all-too-familiar problems is agony.

Did l hear to be listed "available" if successful session on Thursday? (Petty)

 

This is incredible and I don't know how to feel about it. Part of me says get him in if he gets through the session, another part says hold him back a week to make sure there aren't going to be issues. I just think of last season with Oliver and how he pushed himself just that little bit too hard when he was only a week away and set himself back another month.

But as this is the positive thread I'll just say I'm happy to hear he's back on the track!

Or so it appears, OD.

Don’t let that dour exterior fool you. I PM back n forth with the Rooster and truth be known he’s a big ‘ol softie 🥹

He’s sweetness and light and all that’s good in the world. 

His glass ain’t even half full, it’s full to the brim… of marshmallows. 😃


 

There, that should shut him up 😄

That's an apt description of me although I'm not a marshmallow fan.

Yes good point D17. 

I was surprised how their depleted midfield performed.

Looking on the upside as bad as we played in patches we were in front at the 3 quarter mark and could have taken the chocolates.

That's why I'm still optimistic. The team does have character now and is never blown away by final siren in a loss

Viney is wonderful

I would say pound for pound he would be one of the strongest players about.

He just shakes tackles off and that goal of his was a perfect example.

Is it the Indian Enfield? Saw a lot of those on the roads in India… magnificent!!

He still gets me worried when he tries to take on too much rather than attempt to hand off the ball when he has the opportunity.

I'd say that was more than a Tracca trait Hardtack.

Yes, he does tend to do it as well (I’d rate them almost even in that department 😁)… it’s frustrating.

Yes it's Deluxe Bullet 500cc.

Some Indian company bought the name and started making them again in a very traditional looking manner but with a lot of modern conveniences like efi and a few other things.

They are a staple workhorse in India. You see three people on them.

I was there a long time ago (early 1989 I think it was), so I’m not sure whether there were using modern conveniences at that time (were they even available to those motorcycles produced in the west, back then?). But yes, you’d see them everywhere loaded to the hilt with both produce and human cargo.

I recently bought a Mash Five Hundred - part of the modern 'retro bike' renaissance. Pretty chuffed with it.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
