Demonstone's Tantalising Tuesday Time-Waster
Ah, so it's not Domino's! (My shock-face reaction was to a tattoo of same, not the product. To pizza, of any persuasion, I too am partial. Indeed, fully!) Nothing from me just yet, then, WCW; you have the floor.

I shall care for them as if they were family (my own being so remote in our current dystopia...)

Would everyone like another? It is only Tuesday, on a slow football week. Not.

DS, you could almost have got away with subbing Essendon's Bruce Dodson in for our Nathan😁...

FINALS: Week 02 2021 (NON MFC)
Jesse kicking a bag would provide a sentimental bone of interest. Otherwise I'm in the Beat Each Other Up camp.

Angus Brayshaw Media Conference
As I was listening, was thinking all the things I'd say about Gus. Then read on and found you'd said them all! Thank you, everyone Would just add, through the constant and widespread messaging, I'm genuinely believing now that the players are genuinely playing for US!

Is this the best Demons side of the last 57 years?
Ah, yes, of course! But 'twas a product of a unique, exploitable and fleeting perversity of rules. Our legion arises from a settled and competitive rules regime. But, with Stan Alves involved, underdog-ness, premiership virginity, victories over disliked teams (I never hate), quirky stars, etc, North's exploits then (but definitely not since) provided me some engagement and thrill when my team's weren't, so much!

POLL: Preliminary Final Opponent
Prefer - GWS. We can beat both but a GWS game will bring much less emotional baggage (for me, mainly!) Believe - GWS. Loss of Greene isn't all-or-nothing. GWS emotionally high after last weekend, Geelong shot. Geelong playmakers can be more easily identified, planned for and dealt with.

Is this the best Demons side of the last 57 years?
A subset question to your OP one, Dan: Has a club - MFC particularly but indeed any club - ever put together a better, larger group of 'foreign legionnaires' than our club has? Five 'starting 22' in May, Lever, Tomlinson, Langdon and Brown plus door-knockers Hibberd and Melksham. Throw in Majak Daw and Mitch Brown if depth is needed for a tie-break.

If the West Australians can match the South Australians of last weekend (and I think they might actually do better) then we'll do all right, I reckon. Particularly if GWS is the away team.

A toast to our Dees and fans
A timely thread, Girl; I was looking for somewhere to say I realised some time (well!) after midnight last night that I was overdosing on Demonland. Time for a break!

The person airlifted to hospital: was he the same one Ch7 interviewed? Remarkable recovery!

The 2021 All-Australian Team
Thanks for this commentary everyone! As some have said, and no doubt everyone has thought, What. A. Night. Apart from the Charlie/Flag/Norm trifecta, one other item to tick off to make it a quaddie: Coach(*) Of The Year. (*which would be 'Coaches' in our case) (Quiet note to AFL: it's 'centre', not 'center')

Max Gawn’s goal - the commentary
Magic, WJ. Kudos. This year, and last Saturday in particular: The Gift That Keeps On Giving. And is it time for a 'Like' button that likes every post in a thread? I've been having daily guilt pangs this week...

Cards, keep it, you young whipper-snapper; you can look forward to being less and less worried about wuss as you get older. Take it from me.

Care to clarify, DD?

Demon Tattoo
Even at my age (I was probably just a little shy of the legal age in '64...) I have joked with my family about doing this. Easy when it hasn't really been a prospect... Simple, small, well-concealed, but proudly borne and worn will be my go. Probably the 'MFC' and maybe the year. With room for addition.
