Err, yes.  That's gilding the lily somewhat.

I get the feeling that the author of that line is no stranger to ice.

James' father Ian was a fine cricketer who once took all ten wickets in an innings of a Sheffield Shield game.

There’s a HUGE difference between ‘could play a bit’ and ‘legend’

I’m sure you were closer to ‘legend’ than ‘could play a bit’ - or so you’d have us believe 😁

Charlie Curnow was called a champion last night. Superlatives are given out pretty easy these days.

True, and we’ll soon need a bunch of new words to accurately describe someone of true greatness. For example, if James Brayshaw is a cricket legend, what does that make Ricky Ponting?

You think we think you're joking!

Outstanding post!  :D

It's all inflation. And a fair bit of this 'shrinkflation' that is becoming popular, too. Like how these days, for not particular reason, you need a Bachelor Degree to do what would have been a Diploma job twenty years ago.

Meanwhile...

The things you find when you search for 'Too many GOATs'.

https://www.themanygoatsproject.com/

A project to coordinate research on goat behaviour across numerous sites because it turns out one of the main features of goat behaviour is that their surroundings can influence their personality in radically unpredictable ways, so it is necessary to simultaneously study goats from a wide range of environments to allow for that situational effect.

This is exactly the kind of the research collaboration that the internet was originally created for.

There are too many goats. Not just in sport, but also, Mongolia.

Cashmere got cheap, so cashmere goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit, which made cashmere get cheaper, so goat farmers increased their herd and production to try to still turn a profit...

Who would've thought that the world was in need of a Goat Cartel?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
