Superunknown

Sometimes these threads feel like round and round the garden like a teddy bear ...

Chapeau it’s nice to be nice goodonya

TDS!

This. Life is amazing, but some of the outcomes are sh$t. Greg Norman's lack of majors a perfect example. You handle that with grace if you can (I think the Shark was the epitome of grace, see how he handled Faldo post loss August 1996). Nursing someone along because of a romanticism, in this day and age, I think, is not helpful. Have respect of course, but you can't disrespect the club and other players by making exceptions (I'm not saying anyone on DL is suggesting this).

Yes from me for what little that’s worth with base wage and earn the spot

An excellent contribution

Sure sounds like this is the Last Goodbye for some members.

As long as it’s not clangers langers

He should tell them if they don’t get their act together he’s gone to somewhere that gives a f

I have to say I am enjoying your inputs the last few days. The James Blunt riposter of DL

love the hashies, love

Very good - his Rusty Cage cover is ace. I obviously could have gone a lot wider with the music and left a lot of good stuff out (most is from my high rotation) this is a good one. Actually, a bunch of Pennywise songs sums us up, too.

Here's a rather hastily compiled music themed review of 2019. If you can Bingo on 4 bands or songs, let's have a beer! For added fun, add your own, should be an eclectic mix. [First time thread starter, be gentle - mods delete move as needed] This is intended as a bit of fun, please take it that way. Links to YT vids. After last year’s prelimary final, many had Fell on Black Days. However, looking into 2020, it was fair to think we were heading into the Superunknown. Many thought after a bit of Get Some Go Again at the trade table, we were primed to become a Power Player, as obviously we all thought you Can’t Stop Progress. However, early results indicated that other coaches had looked at Demon Game Plan 19 and said “Shallow Be Thy Game, Goodwin”. They studied well and appeared to Know Your Enemy. Our 2020 plan appeared to continue to consist of Bombs Away, which didn’t bode well. We had lost some Crucial Velocity, 2019 was but a Warped memory, and 2020 looked very Sick (or was it us supporters) as we were Outshined game after game. The Violins were playing a Eulogy for us early as we continued Falling Apart. Going from 4th to 17th was as big a surprise as a H00ker with a Pns. Perhaps some players thought 2020 would be a Victory Lap and some of the selections, according to Demonlanders, were just Like Suicide. Some players looked as though they were thinking the ball was a Burden in My Hand, and some just looked like they had gone to Sleep. Steven May, who we all thought might be The Regulator, was for vast periods unsighted. Many Demonlanders who had been viewed as Profits of Doom after bad losses of 2018, appeared to in hindsight, be correct. Circus Maximus continued with aplomb, but a lot of players appeared to perhaps think this AFL gig was The Land of Pleasant Living, with many Demonlanders thinking said players needed to Wake Up and grab a Fistful of Steel. We no longer had Bulls on Parade as we did in 2018 (although CP5 started to look like one) and our Supporting Caste of 2018 were also MIA or traded. The coach’s pressers felt like they were sometimes filled with Speculative Fiction (particularly post Syd R22) and there was much unrest about the coach on Demonland, with many indicating he was a Failed Imagineer. There was almost a Civil War on Demonland and it became clear some would not be Making Friends. Many really didn't want to become Todays Empire, Tomorrow’s Ashes and wanted to pen a letter to Dear Coaches Corner, pointing out what they thought obvious flaws in what was turning into a Funeral Procession. Some had advice on How to Clean Everything. Some Demonlanders also wanted a Status Update from President and or CEO. Toward the end of the year it really was a Bad Scene, a total Failure. In round 22, we saw CP5 on the phone looking like he was ready to do a bit of Killing in the Name [Ed: privileged to be at this show], and he may have been thinking the lines from that song’s eponymous chorus. Some Demonlanders posited we may have a Township Rebellion on our hand, with one poster saying the inside word was some players could make a bid for Freedom from rather than taking a Bullet in the Head by staying on. When all was said and done, it's perhaps true our season and result could only be reflected by one song: Bottom. This was compounded as a Flood of negativity washed over the club and we were a bit of a Laughing Stock. However, on the positive side, it gave the club some much needed Illumination [Ed: was anyone else at Offshore 2000? Epic], and shows what will be needed in 2020 to avoid being Down in a Hole again. Looking into 2020, Demonlanders are no doubt hoping we Take the Power Back, and crack the whip on some players to Pushit, because if one song sums our our feeling post prelim, it’s Stinkfist. Prelims aren’t enough, we need more, nothing seems to satisfy (except a flag). Here’s to 2020, where the Demons Blow Up the Outside World. Go Dees.

Par for the course

I said a couple of weeks in a row we need a really big loss- think 200 points to shake things up (ie disabuse those of the mind this is an aberration )

Moneyball

Post match conf - key themes - standards brand journey learnings game of margins (in our case big ones)

I know this is going to be controversial but can we have a kpi around goal kicking accuracy for anyone we recruit who might play in fwd half of ground ?

If max wants a premiership he’ll fkoffski to another club

Chaos footy - no one knows wtaf is going on

One way flights booked ”heyyyy what are these green and yellow jerseys????”

I sure hope that low use skill set - goal kicking - is practised in off season i know it’s not a big part of the game but you know, like, might be kinda handy

16 scoring shots to 14 yikes

Their new vegan ones are pretty good tbh

I’d be interested to know if brownies prognostications precipitously play out, who will Barrack for a tassie team? Not I. Family connections to tigers pies swans hmmmm
