  1. Wow, you guys must have seen a different replay to the one I have watched 46 times now. I am struggling to beat my eldest son, who lives in New York, to 57 times. Look, guys. We are all fervent Dees supporters on here. Ed Langdon may be content to go down in history as the best wingman in the modern game, but I just cannot see why you think Brayshaw will stay at a club that will deny him the opportunity to win that Brownlow. He already has a premiership medal. He has got to have the desire to go one better. Look, I hope he stays. I just don't see the logic. His management must be telling him to leave. And the Saints would be the best fit IMO. Gotta say it is good that the playing group are forbidden to access this site. None of us will ever forget his grand final game in 2021. What a player, what a game. Angus will make his decision and i will respect it.
  2. Have you not seen the replay of the third quarter, when Hannan had the opportunity to put us to the sword? Have a look and a listen to the Dennis Cometi radio commentary. We were all petrified when Hannan got his hands on the ball n the the quarter. Where were you, my Lord ??
  3. sorry, people. Did nor mean to say I "espect" Brayshaw's decision, I meant to say I will respect his decision.
  4. Dunno, Sisso, But I will respect any decision that Angus makes. Put yourself in his boots. How would you like to be remembered ?? Mitch Hannan left because he could see a future elsewhere and he has done very (very) well. I (for one) will not boo Angus if he decides to go to Freemantle (or anywhere else for that matter).
  5. Hey, Daz. No, the nursing home is in Melbourne somewhere. I escape sometimes and get to a computer but they always track me down. I have this thing on my ankle which seems to glow when I escape. They have now taped up all the window on my floor, but not the upstairs windows in the demetia ward. It is only an 18 foot drop. Piece of cake. Talk soon, Daz.
  6. Niall in the Age made a really good case for Angus to leave the MFC. It is not just about money. It is a short window as an AFL player. Does a really talented player want to be remembered as a bit player? Angus could walk into many teams and into their midfield and get close to a Brownlow medal. Or he could stay at the Dees and potentially get another couple of premiership medals. If Angus was my son, I would be urging him to leave.
  7. Hey, people. I recommend getting a dees face mask. The club's official masks are pretty tame and understated, but there are websites out there selling demons masks that are in your face. Wearing my red and blue mask on public transport in Melbourne since the Granny has led to the most amazing conversations. Sometimes, it is just "Go Dees". Sometimes it is just snarls from the other teams' supporters. The Tiger's supporters are really upset (for some reason) that Petracca is being compared to Dusty. There have been so many amazing conversations, but my best in the last few weeks was a young bloke (early 30's maybe} who came up to me and said he was a West Coast supporter. Turned out he had met his father for the first time at age 29 (divorce etc) and he and his dad got on like a house on fire. His dad was a mad WC supporter and bought him a membership. Truth is stranger than fiction. Get a demons mask, people, but look beyond the club merchandise. Regards, Rollo (Rumours of my death are untrue)
  8. Hey, LFS. What did Jonathan Brown say on the Grand Final Edition of "On the Couch" ? Was it "pearls before swine" or "feeding strawberries to pigs" ?? 😄
  9. Hey people, Gotta thank the mods and their Masters for keeping this site alive during all the hard, long years. You know that I know that you know that I know who you guys are. Lots of people on here do not know the sacrifices and the financial commitments you have made. Thank you. Gotta thank all you people who take the time to post on here. It gives great joy to our dees community. Every time I think I want to post, some other bastard has already said it better. There are lots of different Melbourne Demons face masks out there. Just google and you can choose yours and your price range. I wear mine proudly. I love the conversations with fellow dees who would otherwise just walk past. Even better are the snarls and snorts from the opposition supporters. Others may have their favourites, but I have two insufferable brothers-in-law. Long may the Hawks languish. Again with apologies to my mates who migrated here with me from the old demonology site, I have a third verse for the Club Song for your opnion: "Well, we broke through and won in the year '21 The Norm Smith curse is now Gawned And you'll find us there in the final four A new Goody era now dawned Every heart beats true etc..." Regards and Xmas/ New Year greetings to all, Rollo
  10. Good time to thank you guys for all the entertainment this season... I claim to have read each and every post... 🤐 When we migrated from the old demonology site, I promised three mates from there that I would not burst into song on here. Sadly, two of those guys have not lived to see this day. Yes, the day that bastard Rollo broke his promise. To the tune of "We are sailing" by Rod Stewart: We are Melbourne. We are MELBOURNE !! We're the demons, we're red and blue I am Melbourne, you are Melbourne You for me and me for you There are as many verses as there are present and past players: Christian Salem, CHRISTIAN SALEM !! You're a demon, you're red and blue I am Melbourne, you are Melbourne You for me and me for you Regards and thanks to all for this season of posts Rollo
  11. Thanks for this great read, people. I was too young to be there in '58. The filth went in as rank underdogs and stopped our run to win 4 GFs in a row. I was at the game in '64. Once again, the mangy pies were rank underdogs and gave us a real scare. We will go in as favourites, but the doggies can beat us if we are not right on top of our game. Will Clarrie play on the Bont? Who gets Weightman and do we tag Libba again if he is fit to play? (Rumours abounding - misdirection?). Keep posting, people. Regards to all, Rollo. 😷
  12. I do have it out in a mate's garage... If he finds it, I will have one of my kids put it out for sale on the internet... hopefully, it will not be of any value soon when Simon and Max hold up the 2021 cup... 😜
  13. hey, people... things went sour on demonology when tim got sick... we always thought that demonland was too straight-laced back then, but most of us migrated when there was no other choice and, I think, demonland improved (especially in grammar and spelling)... 😇 My favourite poster from demonology was Rono. Like Toby Green and Oscar Wilde, he was always controversial, larger than life, and made you keep coming back to view the latest outrage. Regards to all, Rollo
  14. Hey, radar. I won't tell anybody you told this story many times back in the day on demonology. 😉 My recollection is that you were one of seven or eight people who made up the 1965 brigade back on demonology. My youngest brother (also a brigade member) has reminded me about 1965 many times. Hope we win for you guys. Demons to the fore and demons laid to rest after 57 years. Regards, Rollo
  15. We are footy tragics and we follow our tribe. I have a mate who barracks for the Swans. When they finally broke their drought after moving to Sydney, he was on top of the world. A couple of days later, he was asking - " is this all there is?" Enjoy the journey, people, because (emotionally) victory and defeat are the two sides of the same coin. Regards to all and keep posting. Rollo
  16. Hey, people. I love reading on this site but rarely post anymore. I was 13 and I was there. I was too busy bawling my eyes out when Hassa missed that shot at goal that I missed Compton's intervention. Who was Compton's opponent who drew him to the contest? I say it was one of the resting rovers. In those days, they always rested in the forward pocket. I say it was Bone, but I have a mate who insists it was Norman. 😂
  17. Never need to post these days. It all gets said better than I could say it. Let's harken back to the Northey days, when we had finally shrugged off the easybeats tag and had belief. Langdon reminds me of the Febey twins. There is only one of him, but it always looks like two of him out there. PS Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, but the nusing home staff have learned better than to let me watch the dees games live. Too many solid objects thrown at too many screens.? Got my 50 year MCC membership earlier this year. Wondering if that trumps my 50 year ban from the members. ?
  18. Richmond used to own spot number nine every year... we have knocked them off their perch...
  19. Story goes this old dying dees supporter contacted the club and asked if some team members could act as his pall bearers at his funeral and burial. His son was upset and asked why not family? The old guy replied: "I just want them to let me down one last time."
  20. I was walking down the main street today, in my small Victorian country town, looking for some pub that would agree to switch on the dees game. I spied an old codger across the street wearing a demons scarf. I rushed across and told him we must be the only dees supporters in town. He said: "Sorry, mate. I bought this from the Op Shop to keep my neck warm." My small country town still boasts only one demonlander.
  21. old : well the team played fine in the year thirty-nine/ we're the demons that no-one can lick/ and you'll find us there at the final bell/ in the spirit of 1926... new: well the team played mean in the year seventeen we don't give up possession - no way and we don't need Max and we don't need Hoges they can play in the two's Saturday
  22. Sorry, mate. Just banter. It was you and the Tasmanian who used to wonder about the relationship between my drinking and some of my rambling posts back in the days of the demonology chatroom. Best wishes. Rollo
  23. Well,(expletive deleted), nothing changes. (Although I had lots of offers from well-endowered Young Russian girls while trying to get to this site. Hey, bush. I can think of 5 such wins since '64. Roger. Yep, demonology was a blast, but we are all serious demonlanders now and the thought police are monitoring our every word. Deestroy (!!). I would have thought you would have drunk yourself to death by now. Way to go, mate. I hope your liver makes it to the next dees finals campaign. Dazzle. You will pay for a Brown Brothers fine white wine, but give me a call. My number has not changed from the inter-forum days when we were [censored]-cared that dazzle had missed the train again. (m) 0408 698 328. Wise, we got beaten by Saintsational on a day you were not available. Captain Wise never played in a losing demonland/demonology forum team, but a Royal Commision has been announced into the goal umpy's call of our last gasp kick for goal in the very first saintsational match. Can't quite recall who that goal umpy was. :) I do recall the idiot demonlander who posted on site the next day that he thought his kick went the wrong side of the post !! Desciple, reading on here , I can't believe that 99% of people have not heard of the great TGR. It's like reality TV - you gotta have some bad guys. If we win a premirship, Rono will criticise the interchange decisions and call for the sacking of the coach. A poster on here once accused me of being TGR. I have never felt so insulted in my entire life. Finally, I don't think this site needs rollo when it has skuit. One intelligent and erudite person is surely too much?
