LOL to whoever said this would be the first deal done during trade week.

Sam wants to play in round 1

Nothing wrong with these sensitive new age footballers discussing hair do's and how to maintain their blond tips. Has won Brownlows for people in the past.

Would it be out of order to try to reunite both Beams boys at the club and bring dad to Melbourne?

The eyes of the football world are well and truly on this thread - not just because Hogan is under discussion but because of the fact that the commentary here is all over the Essendon doping scandal. The word is out that every day last week before the Federal Court sittings began, the various counsel in the case including Middleton J would log in to Demonland to see if they could get a better appreciation of the issues under discussion from this very thread. According to his tipstaff, the good judge was spending more time in his briefs eating banana after banana and, during an adjournment in proceedings, placed a call to the management of the Gat about the availability of lodgings there. You are shaping the future of the AFL if not the world.

Australia's Under 19s lose to Afghanistan. I didn't see that coming.

So if Daniher left us in a such good place, why did the Board sack him?

It's the revenge of the dwarfs.

What happens to my bet?

Good riddance anyway. We don't need sooks.

In that case he must have tanked in 2012 because he didn't seem to show much interest last year.

Is it true that our NAB Cup season starts on February 13th next year?

That must have taken a big weight off everybody's mind out there!

Now fancy that. All out in the first innings for 192 after being 5/43 with Matthew Prior top score being stranded at the end on 70 not out. I don't suppose they have green tops in Dubai?

I hear that someone's running his backside off north of the border. I think we need Chapter 2 and a dose of reality to help us understand what's happening.

Had me in tears. Very sad.

Clutterbuck's a given and the obvious candidate for the number 31 guernsey. Couch already looks to be a part of the furniture. The other two? I'd take a KPP and a medium/small outside midfielder who can go forward or back.

49ers first in the play offs. A long time between drinks.

Not till the second innings.

Good to see we didn't get the dud brother here.

A few of the punters who took up your suggestion of backing Serengeti Miss at Mornington yesetrday might want to meet you too. I believe it's still running.

On very good grounds too.

Just changing tack a little, what do people think about ex-bananabender Mitch Clark's haircut? To me, he's trying too hard to look 60s Merseyside whereas I prefer his punk look myself.

It's a great idea for cricket to have the tests with Pakistan in England but what does it say for that particular country when you can't play big time sport there?
