Neil Crompton

At the final siren last night, I could have been persuaded to go.

Can we trade a few of "our" posters instead? I'd support that.

Worst quarter of football by us all season

Sorry Picket, nothing to do with cricket (at least as far as I know)

Well Mazer, I'll think on that, if you think on this: Here is a team of past Melbourne players. This team is a little old fashioned as it only has 2 interchange players, and there are some names from very long ago. I spent (wasted) a whole afternoon trying to put this together, so i will be dejected if someone gets this "discombobulation" too quickly. B. Billy Deans Tassie Johnson John Beckwith HB. Frank Davis Joe Pearce Tony Sullivan C. Robert Flower George Bickford Stan Alves HF. Andrew Obst Earl Spalding Scott Thompson F. John Lord Fred Fanning Bob Johnson R. Jim Stynes Paul Wheatley Hassa Mann INT. Arthur Sowden Bill Allen Not one but two things link this team – one football related and one not. What are these 2 links?

What the hell did he dare say to me? I cannot remember.

Please put me out of my misery - what's the answer?

for gods sake, will you please dumb your clues down. What the hell is a logophile?

Absolutely NFI. Either I'm dumber than I originally thought, or you need to give better clues WCW. ? (and how the hell did you come up with a name like "WalkingCivilWar" anyway? I bet the reason is as obscure as the clues you have given here!?)

its got to be something about cricket

Too many moons ago when I was in primary school, a student teacher came to do his apprenticeship, and he was immediately appointed as our football coach. His name was David Parkin. I like to think our team inspired his later outstanding coaching career. While in year 10 our school appointed BryanKenneally as its Phys Ed teacher. Unfortunately he was never asked to coach our football team for some strange reason. Lovely man though, but I kept getting reminded that his name was not Bryan during school hours.

Looked at your avatar Demonstone, and thought someone was trying to shoot a rocket up your kazoo. Then noticed everyone now has a rocket. Do we all need to lift our game?

While the game day thread can do your head in, there is an unwritten Demonland law that “whatever happens on the game day thread, stays on the game day thread” and anything you say should not be used against you.

I know you loved your first live game in 2 years Old Dee, but I hope you have gone home by now, and are not still posting from the ground!

Sorry its off topic, but Boots, Jack had his two brothers (one named Max) and Wines as his groomsmen, not Gawny and Oliver.

And I always thought you knew nothing!!

Bradtke surprised me - thought he did a pretty good job for most of the game, including some nice grabs. The backline in general was very solid. Bowey excellent first half, bit quieter in the second half. Joel Smith also very pleasing with his marking, defensive work and his kicking (!!!).

Based on what AlanRichardson said about AVB on a club interview a couple of weeks ago - something like “the selectors believe that we are a better team with AVB in it” - I don’t think there is too much doubt that if his form warrants it, AVB will be in the team.

Loved this - "everyone forward of full back was dog sh*t."

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Eddie yet. To me, he is the worst of them all, by a long way.

Probably no change is a good statement, but I’d prefer to give Harmes and ANB a chance to find their mojo again back at Casey. Depending on continued form this week at Casey, I’d like to see AVB and either Bowey or Melksham come in.

Congrats on the sobriety.

I know he’s a good player, but having watched South Park, I have to force myself not to smile every time his name is mentioned.

I used to excuse your obnoxious nighttime posts as just the Merlot talking. I was obviously wrong about the Merlot.

You talking about Dr D or simply looking in the mirror?
