Engorged Onion

Have we all gone off Steven May? His thread is nowhere to be seen now...

Mmm, love a cheeky 9 or 10. Throwback Thursday. To answer the second question would be a long winded inebriated retort so I shall stop right here now....but whatever it is. I am dead right.

38/2?? marginally excessive???....for Geelong?

rant... only 'cause others do it. Effing commentators on Tv - post hoc analysis - the only reason someone must miss a goal at the end of the 2nd qrt is exhaustion... mmmm interesting that one, yet the'll run a further 11km throughout the game. I wish I could get paid so much coin for such little insight, naivety, lack of research or understanding... ugh...I listen to ABC and that's great, and I am an angry angry man tonight. Cripps didn't miss cause of exhaustion, cause he wasn't willing to risk running in, but the bloke aint exhausted... no likes for me farrrrk this even reads like Im drunk...by which I am.

How does that help recruitment and coaching?

Do you like the sound of playing a west coast team that has won one in a row? Is that preferable @qwerty?

how good was that mark in the final qrt. I don't think i've ever seen him drift in an have the confidence to take a grab vs halve the contest. Yes it's a sample size of one. Yet bloody good evidence.

Im sure that'll be covered in their review pal...

Demonlander of the month award for posting this. Both a grin and a tear in the eye!

@Luther - Way to bring me down man... sure mine is more rustic, and not as perfect but man I toiled at my craft.

Indeed He IS...

Queens Birthday Redemption: Jack is deserving of getting into his fluro skwosh pants, doing some blow, doing some dough and calling some grrrllls.

Shaun's little bro?

Only played 22 games...

Yes internally, I'm sure there are some flogs on this forum who will always see Jack unfashionable and pick holes in him... much like OMac

Watts - Seriously underrated with the amount he does both forward and defensively. Has won us games both ends, numerous numerous times. He needs a standing ovation from Demonlanders...perhaps we can podcast this?

You can take the boy out of Melbourne but you can't take the Melbourne (gift goals in dying seconds of quarters) outta the boy. Thanks Dunny

That is so so random Just been on a Elliott Smith stylised Acid trip perchance?

Wow! Elliott Smith being referenced on Demonland - FMD.

on the AFL website now... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-11/speedy-dee-bridging-the-gap-on-his-good-mate

Nice post - I don't see it this way - and I guess I am trying to convince you to see it differently - or have a slightly different perspective... not that I expect you to The AFL is a commercial entity and will always protect 'the brand' (i say with a massive drawwwllll and eyes glazed over) Because of this and because Essendon give great $$ injections (hah! subtle) lobbied for and gifted 10 prime time FTA games, lobbied for and gifted umpteen home games at the G vs big Vic clubs to further fill their $ coffers. Points 7 and 8 - That is the AFL - not Essendon Point 1 - I would argue that the media get to write a new narrative about being heroes or not (and it depends which media you read...) and naturally individuals within Essendon will promote that... Point 2 - Again its the AFL - there is no way commercially that a team was not going to be fielded. Point 3 - Again the AFL sign off on this Point 4 - Essendon would happy push this agenda and again the AFL agreed to this, or failed to put in caveats based on the circumstance of 'how they were to finish last'. Point 5 - not sure what this means - do we have nauseating pre game events - The Big Freeze? Breast Cancer Awareness - Essendon are allowed to capitalise from a marketing perspective on what ever they want to develop - this is totally seperate from what occured Point 6 - I dunno, I read The Guardian a bit, erm, Chip Le Grand wasn't silenced - nor Caroline... Personally Im angry at the AFL as complicit as they were, but if anything, I am just apathetic because it was never going to turn out any other way.

Nev will cover 'em all! No sweat.

Fair 'nuff SWYL... For me its - I shall never forget what individuals working for Essendon have done. They are yet to pay...

Re: Essendon as one individual entity, vs 'Essendon' with culturally corrupt personnel - at what stage do people draw a line of demarcation and move on? We don't slag Melbourne as a club per sè when we were shite - we are marginally more sophisticated and nuanced and we hang Cuddles, Neeld, Schwab, Lyon et al. instead. It aint the club - it's the individuals.

You posted it, I was making a distinction between someone (you) alluding to the 'messing with the heads' vs - common language that, this sort of stuff actually does mess with peoples heads (plenty of people say it/infer it). That's why I said... not about you.
