Fanatique Demon

Thé game starts at 11:15 am for me. I’ve never developed a taste for morning alcohol but I’ll start at half time. Here’s the plan… If we’re well in front at half time I’ll have a rosé or three. If it’s very close, I’ll go for white. And if we’re in trouble, red. If we’re so far behind we can’t win it, I’ll opt for Spirytus Vodka.

Never been so nervous in my life!

Proving harder than I thought… In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" There is immense diversity within each variety of cheese, leading some to claim closer to anywhere between 1,000 to 1,600 distinct types of French cheese. I’m going to need a bigger cheese board.

We’re only 500 km apart! Drop in any time.

Bonsoir from France. I don’t think there are other Demon supporters near me, but that hasn’t stopped me from flying the scarf in the car, putting that little membership sticker on the number plate and wearing the MFC cap whenever I go out. Plus I’m wearing the jumper around the house. Big screen awaits. Just need the cheese platter. 😀 Vive les Démons.

I gave our Roomba a pretty solid workout this afternoon.

You could anything you want from that video.

Didn’t feel a thing in France, other than THE ENTIRE NATION HATING US FOR THE POOR HANDLING OF THE SUBMARINE CONTRACT.

Hi DeeDJ. Welcome and thanks for posting the article. Hope you enjoy Demonland as much as I do.

You’ve done good with this, Werridee.

Jones was on his best behaviour. Only said “bl00dy” twice this time. Seriously, I have never heard him speak - even in an interview immediately after a game - without him managing to use that word. Not that it’s a bad word, but it must be one of his favourites. 😀

I noticed in previous years there were times when umpires continued to give votes to players after they had become ineligible. I wasn’t able to watch the count this year, so I don’t know if this happened again. But I've always thought that it’s a silly act to waste a vote that could have gone to another worthy recipient. Did anyone notice it this year?

I thought the same!

Good effort by our boys. Would have loved Clarry to win it, but the coaches’ award is actually a better indication of a player’s value than what the umpires think. The status of the two is the wrong way around.

Lovely to hear. I wish I could be with my daughters. Haven’t been able to see them for two years.

Town called Souillac sur Dordogne.

You’re right. We’re in hiding. Our door bell features pictures of the French and Australian flags. Last week I wanted to swap the Aussie one for a Demons one, but my wife was against it. She’ll be in favour of it now, surely.

Ray Groom was a sensational player.

France sounds nice. I think I’ll go there.

Anyone in south west France wanting to see the game can PM me.

Get this! 1964 Football Record: “Frank Davis — Half-back flanker who broke into the senior side against Hawthorn late in the year and has done remarkably well. Six games.” Now in 2021: Jake Bowey— Half-back flanker who broke into the senior side against the Gold Coast Suns late in the year and has done remarkably well. Six games. Do we have a premiership player and future captain to echo the fine work of Frank Davis?

Here’s one dog that’s on our side. My wife sculptured this full size Shikoku and I dressed her appropriately. Come on Demons!

On the other hand we could all dress up and WEAR THE DEMONS.

Pictures?

Nah. Too many teeth.
