  1. ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ and if you could replace Gawny as a top-line ruckman, could you adequately replace his outstanding leadership?
  2. Now thatā€™s true ā€˜Demon Spiritā€™.
  3. Outstanding choice for an amazing human being! šŸ’–
  4. I had the great privilege and pleasure of working with Hassa for about 6 months while he was working for the ā€˜Advance Australia Campaignā€™ in the 1970ā€™s. As others have mentioned, he is an absolute champion bloke, but the thing I remember most about him (outside his feats on the footy field) was his ā€˜crushingā€™ handshake when we were first introduced. Vice-like would be a gross understatement!

    This is a disappointing setback for all of us, but I commend our Club for communicating the news immediately. This probably wouldnā€™t have happened a few months ago.

    Broady! ā¤ļøšŸ’™
  7. Merry Christmas to all, and special thanks to Andy and the rest of his crew for this wonderful site. Special mention to our fantastic track watchers as well. Living in this dump of a place (Canberra), Demonland is my football ā€˜lifelineā€™. ā¤ļøšŸ’™
  8. It was a nightmare for Mrs DOF and me. 33,000 ahead of us when we logged in, and when we eventually reached the head of the queue and tried to pay for the tickets, a message came up rejecting our credit card details. We checked and verified the details and repeated the process three more times, all with the same result. We were close to giving up in frustration, when an email arrived confirming that we had successfully purchased our tickets. Presumably some sort of system glitch had given us a false message. I suppose that allā€™s well that ends well, but thatā€™s two hours of our lives that we wonā€™t get back!
  9. This is my favourite!
  10. What a fabulous / positive thread ā€¦ā€¦.. and it hasnā€™t been derailed once by needless one-up man-ship. A real pleasure to read. Huge thanks to all contributors!
  11. I wish I could put both a double ā€˜Loveā€™ and ā€˜Thumbs Downā€™ emoji beside your post Luci (for the obvious reasons), but unfortunately I canā€™t! ps. I hope that makes sense.
  12. Those boys are genuinely excited! So am I!
  13. IMO Nibblerā€™s role is irreplaceable by one player, given our current list. If the role is to be adequately replaced, it will be a shared role between a combination of players like Lingers and Chin, or perhaps AMW (if he has the tank) and Chin.
  14. Lindsay! The second leg of a huge quinella for the Dees. Well done JT!
  15. You bloody rippa!

    Our AFLW team wore black armbands today, in Jackā€™s memory. šŸ’•šŸ’
  17. Beautiful! Nibs will always have a place in my Demon heart!
  18. Brayshaw(?), Petracca(?), Oliver(?)
  19. ā€¦ā€¦ but still it continues to get madder by the day!!

    Vale Kenny. You will have a great catch up with many team mates from our Golden Era.
  21. Thatā€™s perfectly sensible!
  22. If Iā€™m interpreting what you are saying correctly, thatā€™s a very hasty, narrow minded, ill informed, ignorant, and dare I say it, hurtful comment. Iā€™m a 45+ year premium member who lives interstate. I pay a large sum of money each year, for my myself and my ā€˜one eyedā€™ Demon family members, as a pledge of loyalty and financial support for the Club l love, and have barracked for since the 1950s. We travel to as many games as I can each year, but I admit that itā€™s probably less than 20% of games! After the loyalty and support Iā€™ve shown to our Club, Iā€™m astounded that you would suggest that me and my family to be denied membership in 2025 and beyond! ā€œWin-win if the MFC knocks them backā€? I donā€™t get it! I doubt the MFC would either. PS. I unreservedly apologise if I have completely misinterpreted your post!

    No!!
