Demonland

Geez Nibbler don’t celebrate like that until we’ve won the game.

Nibbler just pointed at that guy and was not manning anyone else.

Even if we win both games which I'm not confident based on the past two weeks the Bulldogs will not lose either of their remaining games and neither Collingwood nor St. Kilda will lose both. We'll kick ourselves for not winning one of the Cairns games. The most Melbourne of outcomes will be winning both remaining games and St. Kilda losing both games and us missing the finals on % by a bees [censored].

It's not dead rubbery. GWS are not relying on anyone but themselves to make finals. We on the other hand not only need to rely on ourselves but we're relying on at least one other team to drop a game or two other teams to drop 2. If GWS were on the same amount of wins as us then I'd be more inclined to agree.

Credit to the Gary Pert & the MFC for keeping on a major sponsor during these times.

Spanner in the Collingwood stream of our plan.

Software changed this. Not sure why. I’ll get used to it eventually.

Also I purchased two jumpers. One for myself and one for Demonland but only received one jumper today. I hope they haven't electronically mailed the Demonland one.

No names on the back of the jumper. As mentioned the names aren't necessarily in alphabetical order. There are some that appear in alphabetical order and then there are a few randoms mixed in and then it becomes totally random. My dad, my brother and myself are in random place towards the top and then we're all in a row down the bottom. I've seen a few names twice and I'd hope that the ones accidentally covered by the sponsors and logos are repeated elsewhere.

It’s not necessarily in alphabetical order. Also my name is on there twice. My brother’s name is in the C’s and he’s mixed in with a bunch of G’s.

You positive it’s not on there? It can be hard to find Names. Took me a while to find my dads. Feel free to Pm me your name and I’ll take a look. Found @Nascent pretty quickly.

My bad. I remembered at some point yesterday but forgot to start the thread. I’ll split last nights games into this thread soon.

There are no names on the back. If you want to Pm me your name I’ll take a look.

This beauty arrived in the mail today.

I’m assuming that the posters who are reporting this same issue are hitting the quote button below the post and not the 3 horizontal dots button above the post which is where the new edit feature is. This change is part of the new software. People will get used to it.

On Sunday, the Melbourne Football Club that won three consecutive games by in excess of 50 points last month returns to the Gabba, the scene of the last of those victories which was a 56 point drubbing of Collingwood. The Demons got off to a good start and won every quarter with a ruthless and powerful brand of football. They kicked 16 goals that day, their accuracy in front of goal a tribute to the skills the put on display throughout the afternoon and evening. In the four matches played since then, their average goals scored collapsed to a little over six per game and they have fallen from a strong finals contender to a rank outsider with kicking skills so poor that they have consistently failed to hit the proverbial barn door. The humiliation will continue when their season will effectively end on Saturday evening against the Greater Western Sydney Giants. Indeed, the humiliation began with the words uttered by coach Simon Goodwin this week: "As a club, I think we need to become a much more ruthless club and really grow up and start to perform in these types of games. "We need to start becoming more mature as a club and more unconditional about the way we go about our business." These words are not only starkly obvious in light of two pathetic performances against lowly teams in Sydney and Fremantle that they were expected to beat even in the oppressive conditions in Cairns, but they ring hollow to any Demon fan who can recall the same dictum from former coach Neale Daniher in the mid-2000s when the same ruthlessness call flopped badly time and again and culminated in his mid season dismissal a few years later. In their past two games, the Demons have taken the field as if the games were meaningless dead rubbers instead of the potential season deciders that they were in actuality. Against the Swans but with the aid of the breeze, they conceded the first two goals and were virtually down and out by half time before butchering their comeback opportunity with several misses for goal from close in. Against the Dockers, they recorded a shameful 53% disposal efficiency (c.f 77% v the Magpies) — a figure that reflects a lack of intensity and a sign that the players were switched off, fatigued, couldn’t give a damn or all of the above. There’s no need to go any further. The 2020 agony for Demon fans will end on Saturday night ... in humiliation. GWS Giants by 50 points.
