    Do we really need ANOTHER new thread bemoaning our current plight when there are already so many to choose from (or avoid)?

    I've never wanted to win a game as much as I do this one. Has @WERRIDEE revealed his true identity? Is his real name Ray Stevens?

    I love how you've created a wonderful new word by combining "petulance" and "impetuosity" in a masterstroke of portmanteau neologism. Seriously, your word deserves to be in the dictionary. It's magnificent and I'm going to use it at every opportunity. Kudos to you!

    Look, I realise that this is meant to be a Xavier Lindsay Update thread but we now have the update. Just one more to help ease the pain, Demon fans.

    Thank goodness for Carlton. At least we have something to laugh about.
  6. Happy to discuss the points you have raised. Nothing wrong with a full and frank exchange of views. 1 - Harmes will always be revered as a Premiership player and he played well on the weekend. He also played some good games for us, but many more average ones. He was and always will be a foot soldier and his leaving was mutual. I don't believe he would make our team better. 2 - Nobody batted an eyelid when Baker was delisted after 15 mediocre games in five years. He also played well on the weekend, which brings his career tally of good games to a total of ONE. Do you think he'll still get a game once the players of the calibre of Bontempelli, Treloar, Weightman, JJ et al are available again? 3 - Your scepticism of ANB's reasons for leaving is based on the facts of a new father and mother wishing to return home for family support not suiting your narrative. We had no bargaining power and took what we could get. Would you have forced him to stay? 4 - You're shifting the goalposts. The fact remains that we did not choose to trade either of Jordon and Bedford. 5 - What have we replaced these players with? McVee. Windsor. Tholstrup. Langford. Lindsay. Players change clubs all the time. Not surprisingly, they will have good games at their new clubs. That's football, mate. No doubt there are some sooky fans of the original clubs of May, Lever, BBB, Langdon and Hibberd whinging that they were "let go". I understand that you, like all of us, are disappointed and frustrated with how our season has started. We all want success for our club, after all.
  7. It just goes to show that you are determined to stick the boots in at every opportunity.
  8. So Baker plays his first ever decent game for the Doggies and Harmes produces his usual one good game in every ten and Captain Hindsight laments that we let them go. If we'd kept them, no doubt you'd be whinging about us retaining NQR list cloggers. Can't have it both ways, mate.
  9. According to this and other recent threads, my understanding is that many Demonlanders are advocating: OUT: Bathwater ALSO OUT: The Baby

    I'm not expecting anything. Just wondering what your reasoning is.

    How does that help them win games?
  12. Demonstone posted a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Umm ... that was the joke, such as it was.
  13. Demonstone posted a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Wasn't me. I have no cents at all.

    Winning a close one is even better! Onya Doggies.

    I heard that we'll be running out to this song on Saturday. Here's to a Demon victory, Jah willing mon.

    Happy to help you out, Froggy. Originating during the Cold War, countries were classed as: First World - Aligned with the Western bloc, led by the USA Second World - Aligned with the Eastern bloc, led by the Soviet Union Third World - Non-aligned and developing nations You're spot on with your observation that "Second World" is not a term we ever hear.

    I wasn't considering using the naughty word to abuse other Demonlanders. It's a word I might use to describe certain opposition supporters and players, umpires and members of the media. Don't worry Andy, I'll play nice!

    Also testing censorship: [censored] edit: Incredibly, the word "i d i o t" is still deemed too offensive to print.

    We were very keen and he was thinking seriously about it as he didn't feel valued at Port. However, all his teammates agreed to show their love for him by wearing a patch bearing his initials on their jumper and he decided to stay.

    He could use his Collingwood connections and bring Brayden Maynard across with him.

    What about Tesla? Surely their involvement would fire the team up. (Suggested logo illustrated below)

    I can envisage Horse fitting right in at Caulfield.

    Whatever it takes?
  24. ... is a bit slow on the uptake?
