  1. Reminiscent of Caro Wilson's amazing revelations on tanking that had to have certain dates amended after publication for correctness. She even had us "tanking" in 2010.

    Aaargh ... I haven't had this feeling since 2000.
  3. That's rubbish. I eat a banana a day (not too ripe) and it hasn't caused me any problems. You need a balanced diet and exercise and all will be well in the world. On the other hand, if you want to get a job at GWS in recruiting ...
  4. We've been told that the club's approach to Clark's rehab is conservative and Mitch himself keeps tweeting that he's on track with his progress. While he was walking laps on Monday, he was also kicking the football as well (albeit with his left foot only) and there's been no evidence of any setback to his recovery routine. I don't think he's been put on the LTI like Max Gawn so can only assume there must be some chance that by mid March, he might be taking part in some light match practice.
  5. No, it's not.This highly informative article by the maestro, Mr. Jon Pierik Yadda Yadda Yadda says it could drag on until March.
  6. Got this off twitter: Broccoli: "I look like a tree." Walnut: "I look like a brain. " Mushroom: "I look like an umbrella." Banana: "Dude! Change the topic."

    I found this blog story on the Net - Ostler: Kaepernick not 1st to feed media beasts Just need to work out what it's all about and why it means the 49ers‘ are going to win the big one next week.
  8. Footballer avoids Vietnam War by visiting Hanoi 39 years after Allies pull out.
  9. Well, in the end, I didn't need to start a fight with those young GCS punks to create a distraction from the tanking rubbish. One of them was able to do it all by himself - Young Gold Coast forward Jacob Gillbee charged with drink driving. Blew half of what Liam did over in Adelaide which shows that these Gold Coast lads still have a fair way to go . Incidentally, spare a thought for Redleg who decided to stay on the Gold Coast for a few more days to enjoy the brilliant sunshine up there. I left on Thursday and the sun was shining but it hasn't stopped p1zzing down ever since. I think it might even be too wet for him to post on the site.
  10. And my growing disenchantment with the game is not being helped by the scheduling of T20 on Australia Day. Once upon a time that day was reserved for the Adelaide Test, then it was used for ODI's and now this ... If they ever do that to footy, it'll be all over as far as I'm concerned.
  11. Weekend. I'm resting my case.
  12. {6} for differentiation. I am innocent and I will never reveal my sources.
  13. {7} for differentiation. I am innocent of all proposed charges because they don't exist as offences.
  14. I'm with you there 100% Biff. Those wimps want to fix me up because I mentioned somebody's old man and were horrified at the thought of me starting a fight with Bluey McKenna and a few of his rookies. Soft and old the lot of them!!!
  15. I told RL it was the perfect opportunity for us to start a fight which would help get the Dees out of the headlines for a couple of days but he chickened out because off the odds. I was ready to take them on.
  16. I'll take it to the Southport Magistrates Court if they even think of trying.
  17. It's good to see that there's a four day domestic game happening at last. The disappearance of these games in favour of T20 etc. is not helpful when you're preparing for an Ashes series. Let's hope its a good game and the Vics do well.
  18. I've checked the Demonland rules for this thread and, in particular, our Rule 19 (A5) and I see no breach of the rule whatsoever. I maintain that on the contrary, by providing a legitimate quiz to exercise people's brains (something not normally required on this thread), I have actually performed a vital public service. I even attracted a well-respected Demonland poster in Fan back here after an absence of more than 14 months and therefore, there is no way anyone can claim that I've brought the thread into disrepute. As for draft tampering - pffffft!
  19. Let's see if I can help out on the identification front without offending against the rules of this thread.Who am I ......... (1st Clue) My son was just appointed vice-captain of the GWS Giants. I am .....? Who am I ......... (2nd Clue) My pay is included in the GWS salary cap I am .....? Who am I ......... (3rd Clue) My weight is greater than more than any five other players at the club combined I am .....? Who am I ......... (4th Clue) Based on my age and football experience, I have just been appointed captain of the GWS Giants I am .....?

    Yes ... I've been waiting a long time for this - what a comeback!
  21. Nominations now being taken for roles in the Hollywood production. I nominate myself as myself and Halle Berry as my wife. I'll be doing my own stunts for every scene.
  22. Well folks, we've reached land and are here on the Gold Coast where conditions are perfect for some r & r after the nerve wracking events of the past week and a half. I suppose you're all wondering about the shenanigans on the banana boat and how it all ended. Well, here's a brief summary: The ship's captain offered us some coffee once they removed our gags and freed us from the ropes that bound us to our chairs. He explained we had been caught up in an Interpol operation against a vicious gang of international terrorists who were using sporting facilities to store weapons for use in their nefarious plan to one day dominate the world. The leader, Al Kyder (aka Vlad the Impaler but a man with several aliases) had been captured alive and taken to the Pentagon for further questioning. His accomplice, the Michelin Man, broke down under interrogation after he was deprived of donuts and Tim Tam biscuits for 17 hours and confessed to everything. The son was released and was last seen wandering around Circular Quay in Sydney just having a look around. "But what about the tape? What happened to that?" "Oh, the tape. Yes, well Vlad did manage to crush it into a thousand pieces but that's not a problem. It contained a compilation of Barry Manilow songs - we managed to switch it back on the ship before Phil grabbed what he thought was the authentic tape. We made copies anyway and returned the original to the MONA Museum." Well, that was a relief. Feeling the throbbing from the lump on the back of my head, I asked, "But why was it necessary to attack us, then tie us up and bring us back to the ship?" "Our men have been training for this operation for a long time. You were wearing the distinctive orange and charcoal livery of Al Kyder's international terrorist franchise. They had to disarm you when capturing the ringleaders. It was only when they brought you back on the ship that we realised your true identity." It turned out that Interpol had been on to Vlad for years. They had vision of him sitting at the MCG during the Jordan McMahon game. The rest of the row was occupied by you know who and his punk son. They had the kid bugged at Hong Kong airport on his way home from the MFC trip to China and knew all about the plot to recruit him to GWS. His fourth placing in the inaugural best and fairest at Blacktown was a signal to the rest of the terrorist group that the attacks would start in four month's time. It was no surprise to learn that a rogue former UN identity had joined the AFL as one of its investigators. We also got the news that the AFL commission would meet on 29 January to exonerate the Demons of all possible charges in the tanking affair and, by way of compensation, the MFC would be awarded the first five picks in the 2013 AFL National Draft. The Giants were to be expelled from the competition at the same meeting (to be immediately replaced by the Tassie Mappers). All would be good in the world again. Things got even better on the last day of the cruise as the ship entered the Brisbane River. Redleg and I (and our respective wives) were sunning ourselves on the deck and drinking banana daiquiris when the ship's purser handed us our envelopes. They were from the Governor-General advising us that on Australia Day, we were to receive our Orders of Australia for services to the country and to sport. For the second time since we embarked on the cruise, Redleg fainted.
  23. It's actually Ashmore Steak and Seafood but if you're suffering from Bali belly, I'm not sure that Moreton Bay Bugs is necessarily what you need to add to the system. Poor old old dee is already depressed today. Don't add to his woes or anyone else's. I suggest you take my advice and watch that programme I recommended to you on SBS tonight just after 10. It should give most of us a lift. BTW, only four negative posts is light on for depressing news around here, isn't it?
  24. Still in Brisbane trying to work out how to get out of the scrape we're in but I'm hopeful of being able to get out and visit the cheap rent hotel that CS, DM et al stayed at when they snared Mitch Clark. I hear its a bit of a tourist attraction in Brizvegas.
