Fanatique Demon

I’ll be at a classic Citroen event in Murray Bridge with my two loves… my wife and my 1967 DS. I’ll skip the Motorkhana and meet up with an old school friend I haven’t seen since about 1969. He’s also a lifelong Demon supporter. A big win would top off the perfect day.

Barassi, Flower, Oliver, Farmer, Gawn.

What does he call his underwear?

Fox… Herald Sun. Their station, their paper and their man. Much to our dismay.

Great to have Penfolds on board. Our members’ special deal is six Koonunga Hill Cab Sauvs at $100. Or 12 for $190. (Dan Murphy does six for $85.80.) 🤐

Looks like his Dad in that picture.

Got the call today. Membership sorted!

The worst was a Welsh woman who at one point said, « you know you know you know ». True story. And the stranger thing was she didn’t know she was saying « you know ».

I know! (I used to teach presentation skills and I heard that thousands of times.)

Or even 6 sixths😜

I tried to call earlier in the week but there was no answer. So I opted to request a call back. Nothing so far 😞

Over the weekend I watched our last two games against Brisbane last year. Aside from Petracca’s “broken leg” there were no obviously banged up players in my view. And Trac actually played well. The difference between the drubbing we handed them and the disappointment of the final seemed to be lack of dare. When we were desperate in the last few minutes we kicked two quick goals. Of course Lever’s brain fade and Kosi’s ill-discipline (two down the field frees for late tackles and a 50m penalty) didn’t help us. But it seemed to me that in the final we were going through the motions, thinking the game was ours any time we wanted it. Then all of a sudden, reality dawned on us, but too late. That’s mind-set, not fitness or injuries. Bath water, anyone?

Not so much full of it… just it.

I’m not familiar with the meaning of “death riding”. But a tennis commentator just said he’d spent all week death riding Djokovic. I still don’t know what it means.

Thanks, all.

Zorko’s behaviour in several games last year was “uncaptainly”. Uncaptainish? It’s late… you know what I mean.

Which emoji represents “groan”?

For many years I proudly displayed my sticker on my car in France. Of course no one knew what it was. We moved back to Australia and into a new apartment a couple of months ago and we’re gradually meeting neighbours. I got off to a good start with a young couple I met in the car park when I saw the Melbourne sticker on their car. The perfect ice-breaker.

Appreciate that you included the numbers, Wilson.

There are hot cross buns at Coles, Easter eggs at Woolworths and Werridee teams on Demonland. Must be January.

A couple of excellent kicks from Maloney too. My memory was full of those high up and under kicks he used to do from the centre clearances. But there were two great passes from him in that quarter.

I was going to do a classic 18 and coach where their jumper number’s corresponding letter (1 = A, etc), when combined could be unscrambled to reveal the centre-half-forward’s wife’s favourite holiday destination. But maybe that would have been too simple. Obviously it was Monument Valley AZ USA.

Yeah, yeah, Naarm. (I’m learning to talk like an Aussie after being out of the country for 25 of the last 30 years.)

Greatest of all time video? I’d like to see that.
