Skuit

The toe issue is obviously far worse than we feared. Tommy can't even use his legs to get around the gym.

Currently Northeast of the Dominican Republic. Doesn't seem to any Aussies here at all let alone footy fans let alone the any of the few of those still supporting the Demons.

Here's a collection of crystal-shaming from an entire decade ago from the willing folk still overtly present here on Demonland: Dappa Dan: Yze to win the brownlow. Little Goffy: Into the eight with about 13 wins, win a home MCG final against an overated Collingwood titan-uranus: Jones, McLean, Moloney to become the no. 1 midfield in the comp Praha: We'll make finals. Clint Bizket: Melbourne to finish 5th. Please note: Melbourne finished 16th in 2008. Adam Cooney won the Brownlow ahead of Simon Black. Paul Wheatley finished in approximately 65th place as the highest MFC player with 5 votes.

Sorry, I forgot to include you. SWYL will choke on a bitter artichoke.

The Demonland MFCSS crystal balls-up. Little Charlie Spargo will collapse into an on-field coma after being denied a well-needed rest before round three, to be later diagnosed with late onset narcolepsy. The AFL will reintroduce a condition-specific sub-rule to cater to Charlie’s condition, only for the other clubs to take advantage of the new clause by pumping warm milk into their under-performing players through an IV drip at half-time. While the Bombers prove to be well ahead of the game, scandal will rock the AFL when Jay Kennedy-Harris is discovered with a tell-tale milk-moustache after exiting the main-break huddle. Although Jayden Hunt will be banned for two years in the subsequent investigation after testing positive for Nippy’s, Clayton Oliver will escape sanction, with the judicial panel finding the submitted visual evidence of Clayton sporting a milk-moustache to be highly inconclusive. Oliver, however, will be one of the first humans on Earth to be officially recognised as a victim of global warming, succumbing to the 0.00000134-point rise on the ultra-violet index. His ashes will be left on the MCG in a moving but practical response to the tragedy. Pundits will say he should have altered his zink to banana-boat ratio. There will be calls for Alex Neal-Bullen to be dropped before Easter. The proletarian MFC selectors will finally succumb to the demands of the self-anointed Demonland High Council, but when they approach Alex to inform him of his demotion, ANB will just run away, and just keep running, from coast-to-coast, an unlikely protagonist in all the nation-forming events to occur in Australia for the next 30 or so years. Sadly, Alex’s fumbly hand-eye co-ordination will prevent him from ever rising up as a world-champion talent at terrestrial ping-pong. The MFC is like a box of snakes. As a senior leader of the club, and otherwise unavailable for the next 18 weeks due to an on-field incident which effectively ends Sam Frost’s career (of which the majority of Demonlanders will accept was a reasonable act under the circumstances), Jordan Lewis will be sent to chase after ANB, but will immediately and inexplicably fall over. As a senior citizen in general, the broken hip Lewis suffers in the fall will prove especially unfortunate, marking both the end of his own career and the beginning of a rapid terminal decline. Stay tuned for further MFCSS crystal-ball updates direct your psyche in the coming pre-season weeks. Go Dees!

Snap. I've always maintained that Hunt was nowhere remotely near as poor a kick as what he is made out to be on here - based partly on - and I can't be bothered going back and retrieving old posts - my conviction that the footy department were encouraging him to break the lines by run and by foot. Some shockers, sure - but in my mind he had been asked to execute much higher degrees of kicking difficulty - with the full support and expectation of Goody. Wasn't dropped for his disposal, but lack of confidence and getting his hands on the ball. Build that back up and he'll be one of the first selected.

So Dr. D's assessment was accurate? Only three sessions in and Bradkte is already going backwards.

I predict that @ding will pretend he doesn't care all that much but will put in a PhD-worthy mountain of pre-season research to claim back his former precious - the one ball that rules them all. 640 × 360

Oddly, I think this kid may be a distant relative of mine.

?

Love this bloke already. May have dismissed in the past as a simple brute. Proposed new nickname - Stark (May - winter is coming)

I get strangely aroused every time I'm forced to enter a Centrelink office.

Kolo replaces Dom but he also provides defensive cover ahead of Fritsch, whose effectiveness waned once also played out of position. Meaning we also get Fritsch back up the ground or on a wing.

Who is the jkh you speak of?

You too Ethan? Wow, this thread is cut-throat. I'm just gonna slink quietly back back into the background. Exit the Skuit.

That's part of my point. Three beers in and I don't care if some other street kid tells me I could have got my six-pack for a buck cheaper. P.s - I see Oscar more in the orange rather than floating role after this trade period. Come at me binman.

If I scored a quarter of a million beers and 40,000 packs of ciggies at retail for under $200 grand then Gil himself would probably proclaim me as having an IQ above 150.

Jeeps, peeps are tense today. Was an off-hand tongue-cheek comment. For the record, I don't want or expect Pert to get involved. But love the notion of him taking Bell aside and telling the small child to grow up.

On another, perhaps more esoteric note, when I lived in Cambodia I would quite often flick a fiver to some street kid to go and fetch me a six-pack and a packet of cigarettes, with the unspoken proviso that he or she could keep the change. When they returned with my bounty, I didn't once ask how much they scored my desired goods for. That is this - or at least how it should be viewed.

It's okay deanox. I was just curious if Pert was on board yet. If so, while I am fully aware list management isn't part of his mandate, and absolutely shouldn't be, my suggestion was that one experienced football administrator could give advice to a strutting newbie about best practices and serving the interests of a footy club rather than a personal ego. That is all.

Where's Gary Pert at the moment? I feel like he should be having a quiet friendly word in the ear of Bell about what's what.

Question for yourself and the other talent watchers Chaser - this year's crop was initially hailed as a super-draft, then more recently there have been suggestions of a sharp drop-off after the front-end. If accurate, do you know roughly in AFL circles where the steep decline is expected, and what is your own opinion?

K = 1000 K x K = 1,000,000 1,000,000 = mega

If anyone actually cares to uncover Enter the Dragon's former or current alternative Demonland guise just throw me a few leads to get the ball rolling and I'm pretty sure I can sort it out before the conclusion of trade week. Me Stuie (an insult to ETD) Curry & Beer (I don't think so from memory - abrasive but not dynamic enough). Range Rover (I don't recall - but a new 'Rangie' popped up last year before he was sent packing). Anyone else?
