Wizard of Koz

I fessed up just before dinner. Best April fools day joke ever. My family is cool. My wife said I will get you back at sometime over the next 12 months when you totally unexpect it and it will be at least double the stress value. Kids thought it was hilarious. Hugs, kisses and laughter all around.

This morning I told my wife that I fell in love with a beautiful Thai lady on our family trip back to Samui in Aug last year. I told her that I want a divorce so I can actually be happy, work remotely in Phuket and start a new life, because I deserve that at the very least. She stormed off and went to work in tears with our kids in the car. I am still waiting to build up the courage to drop the April fools text. I was going to wait until dinner tonight but that might be a touch cruel.

See what I mean below. Case in Point. All re: Jack Viney staying or going in sep 20. He was always our same Jack. Some people or just thick. And on that premise I will not buy the JVR is over rated or no good.

JVR will be a top shelfer. Some of you clowns were seeing the compensation pick as a win win if we lost Viney to geelong fo free agency in pre 2021. So I interpret what a number of you think about football as though I was picking up my dogs feaces off your front lawn to be honest when it comes to knowing our players. Would be an interesting thread to dig up

I am pleased to say I was wrong about BB. Big time, but thats life. I think he is is in the best form and fittest he has ever been in his time with us , including 21. Hope he stays fit. We have another group of generational players coming through.

Todd was awesome. A Silver to Gold Version of Tom Sparrow. Kicking was always a worry.Jay was tougher than tough, Not sure why he left? Maybe too slow. Robbie Flower met Todd at the Airport in 1986 wearing a full Safari Suit, as an ice breaker , and took him to Robbies joint for the day and night. Todd was A demon from then on and helped Robbie play in his first finals and the clubs first in 23 years. Todd rebuilt us culturally before 21. Tod hated Neeld. Premium Family royalty for the Dees. BArassi, Cordner and Vineys. Hard to split.

A WINNER. And was always going to be. The Ultimate "Our Boy"

No team for the NT. See above. Just a miserable take.

Said with such authority and pomp. Tasmanian is our great games heartland. If you cant see that the compassion and support our footy family needs in Tassie and debate it over the whole $$ rubbish that is sad. Trust me, the $$ will sort itself out. Always does. The games not going bankrupt because of Tassie! It's probably some long standing gripe you have had with someone over this and you cant get past it. If you love footy you just have to love the concept of Tassie in the family.

That 2016 game and last qr in particular was when the tide turned.

Dunstall pondered that Fritsch wanted number 31, after being drafted at pick 31. Then noted, it's odd because it is nit as though 31 is a popular number. Huddo jumped in to remind him that the number 31 is actually quite famous at Melbourne. I have always admired Dunstalls clarity when analysing games but that Spalding knee to the concaved head could be taking it's toll. It's only natural I suppose. That was a horrific injury and respect as he was one incredible skilful, selfless and tough footballer. But it's amateurish to commentate on a Melbourne and say that about the 31. Give me the race caller anytime

He's getting dementia and forgets names of players regularly. Speaking of dementia, I am not sure he was captain when he left. I thought it was Ditterich to Robbie to Greg Healy to Lyon

Absolutely. At the end of the 3rd game it is looking like I was way off. Fingers crossed it will last throughout the season. TMac way better than BB and I still have doubts on him. But hey, I am a supporter who is more than happy to be proven wrong. Hopefully after Flag 14 you can remind me again. It is only March

AI collective Demonland thoughts 1 hr after the game rd3 for all Those with dyslexia adhd or cant be [censored] reading Melbourne Victorious, But Injuries Loom: A Deep Dive into Demonland Forums The Melbourne Demons faithful have gathered on Demonland Forums, their virtual MCG, to dissect the recent thrashing of arch-rivals Hawthorn. A dominant win, it seems, can't fully mask the anxieties gnawing at the edges of their jubilation. Here, we delve into the thoughts, uncovering the emotions, opinions, and concerns swirling amongst the passionate Demon supporters. A bittersweet victory: The resounding win undeniably brings elation. Fans like "Rodney (Balls) Grinter" express pure joy at witnessing Hawthorn's downfall, especially considering the historical dominance the Hawks once held. However, a contingent led by "dl4e" tempers the celebration. They acknowledge the victory but argue a victory against a lackluster opponent like Hawthorn shouldn't overshadow the real concern – injuries. Injury woes: The shadows of May and Lever's injuries loom large. Speculation runs rampant, with some fearing an ACL tear for Lever. Relief washes over the forum as fans like "Jaded No More" dissect post-game interviews, hoping the injuries aren't as severe as initially feared. This concern highlights the crucial role these defenders play and the potential vulnerability their absence might expose. Demonstrating Depth: Despite the defensive worries, faith in the team's depth remains strong. Names like Petty, Tom Tomlinson, and Jayden Hunt are tossed around as potential replacements, offering reassurance that the backline can hold firm. This resilience in the face of adversity speaks volumes about the team's overall strength. Shining Stars: The win wasn't without its individual bright spots. Fritsch's impressive performance earns him praise, while Petracca and Gawn's consistent excellence is acknowledged. JVR, the new recruit, particularly impresses fans with his ability to battle in the ruck and contribute at ground level. These individual contributions paint a picture of a well-rounded team firing on all cylinders. Taking Aim at the Hawks: Hawthorn's dismal performance, particularly their abysmal first quarter, becomes a target for the Demons' supporters. Sarcastic comments and jokes flow freely, with some fans, like "samcantstandya," even wishing for a prolonged period of struggle for the Hawks. This animosity towards the rivals adds a layer of spice to the overall celebratory mood. Beyond the Win: While the core discussion revolves around the game, other topics surface throughout the thread. Umpiring decisions are questioned by some, adding a layer of frustration to the mix. A lighthearted debate erupts over the appropriateness of nicknames for young players, with "whatwhat say what" questioning the use of "Wizard" for a player with limited experience. Finally, the ever-present dislike for commentator Gerald Healy finds renewed expression, reminding everyone that even in victory, some grievances remain. A United Front: Despite the range of opinions and concerns, a sense of unity emerges from the forum. Demons' fans stand together, celebrating the win, acknowledging challenges, and offering support to the team. The collective hope is that the injuries won't derail their momentum and that the team can continue its dominant run. The final sentiment, perhaps best captured by "Rodney (Balls) Grinter," is one of cautious optimism: success should be savored, but challenges lie ahead.

Now chasing all of my comments around to get narky. Weirdo

Still call BS even if it was written on the underside of the 21 cup.

Because I still call bs on the 2nd in time trial rubbish that you buffoons spew.

He and BB are massive liabilities for the club in 2024. It's ridiculous.

To all of the nuffies who were giving me a hard time and banging on about how fit Tmac is and 2nd in the time trial. I still don't believe it. Seriously some people just get so loose on here with wanting to be outraged. This was taken when the debutants were announced this week. Always an immortal but he certainly does not look like a guy in peak fitness to me. Some of you are so thick.

The dumbest comment in internet history.

blake howes hopefully will come on in his place

a 44 pts down? When was this? How can I watch? Edit: Brain fade it was MFC v Geelong 21. I misread it as Windsor played in a TAC gf where they were 44 points down and won. I was keen to watch that!

I think his hammy issues may have been a ruse

Most exciting first year player, according to training vision, since Clayton. Blake Howes is another who looks good. Throw in JVR, Judd and potentially Kolt and we have a gun baby Demon group coming through. Anything can happen.

Another try hard witty one liner that someone had already used. Our resident comedian Ethan. Only problem is he is the only one who enjoys his lazy comedy.
