Demonstone's Eclectic, Exotic, Esoteric and Exasperating Examination
Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. Or, in the words of the immortal Keith Richards, "It's good to be here. Hey, it's good to be anywhere". Another team with a common link for you to chew over, spit out an answer or possibly surrender to your gag reflex. Today's side is a well-balanced combination of predominantly former players who would have been hard to beat in their collective prime. Where possible, they have been named in their usual playing positions. No fewer than nine Demons have made the cut. Let me know by PM only if you think you know what they have in common. Incorrect responses may be shared by me to reduce the field of possibilities. Given financial restraints, today's prizes will be the priceless commodities of Honour, Glory and Kudos.

Internal Practice Match.
Reports indicate that we won but could have prevailed by more had we not eased off in the last half.

What's next for Adem Yze?
I think Adem Yze is @picket fence! Every sentence! Has an exclamation mark! Without exception!

2022 All Australian Team
The topic title wasn't "Let's have a whinge about all the Geelong players in the AA Team".

2022 All Australian Team
Gosh. So many posters complaining so much about something that ultimately means so little. We're here to win back to back premierships. The rest is just a sideshow.

Most Times in Front at 3QT Record
2016 I believe. I was there at the draw in 1977 with my Collingwood supporting dad and two North supporting brothers. It was the weirdest feeling and nobody knew what to do or how to feel. Despite my long held opposition to the idea, I now support the idea of extra time. Had the rule been in place in 2010, a fast finishing St Kilda may well have denied Collingwood the flag.

FINALS 2022: Week 01
The loser gets another chance the following week in the semis.

Most Times in Front at 3QT Record
There wouldn't be a second week. All drawn finals go to extra time now, including the GF.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MICHAEL HIBBERD
Given that eating humble pie means the same as eating crow, I'd suggest a dollop of this.

22Under22 Squad 2022
No joke intended FD. Petty is relatively unrecognised by the football public at this stage but that is changing. On the other hand, opposition clubs would be well aware of his talent.

Petty may have flown under the radar of your average random footy fan, but I bet opposition coaches rate him.

The Luck of the Draw
Nobody cares nor remembers who finishes on top of the ladder at the end of the H & A season. Everybody remembers who won the premiership.

Demonstone's Tiresome & Torturous Tuesday Timewaster
Let's say around 4pm on Thursday arvo then, at a time we're usually looking forward to team selection. I've come up with a particularly devious teaser and I look forward to baffling/exasperating all contributors.

The Luck of the Draw
I'm just trying to sort the facts from the BS here, mate. The football club have never owned the stadium contrary to your claim. We can all agree that Geelong get a leg up from training and playing (lesser teams) on their home ground.
-
The Luck of the Draw
You've cited nothing to support your memory of what happened. The footy club don't own the stadium. As far as funding goes, check the link I posted. The City of Geelong has also tipped in. You're correct when you say other parties haven't contributed as much as the Government, but the money hasn't just come from one source.

The Luck of the Draw
SWYL, I fully understand and share your utter dislike for Geelong Football Club. However, can you cite any evidence that they own the Kardinia Park ground? You'll also find that the AFL and GFC helped fund the redevelopment and it's not just all Government money.

The Luck of the Draw
The football club doesn't actually own the stadium, SWYL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardinia_Park_(stadium)

Kangaroos want Peter Jackson
That rules him out then as North have an affinity with such fowl creatures. Who remembers Boris the Chicken from 2009? The video is on YouTube if you dare. Warning: It's not family viewing!

Demonstone's Tiresome & Torturous Tuesday Timewaster
Thank you for the support. I do have a couple up my sleeve and was planning on unleashing the first of those this week. What are Demonlanders' preferences - Tuesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon or Sunday afternoon?

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Brisbane
Is there an echo in here?
-
CASEY: Rd 22 vs Brisbane
You appear to have as much trouble with comprehension as you do with anger management Cranky. The poster wasn't advocating Howes be promoted and wasn't talking up his talents. He was simply saying that it wouldn't hurt to try young players in different positions at Casey to see how they go. I don't understand why anybody would have a problem with that suggestion.

Whacking an unsuspecting opponent in the guts is very courageous, I guess.
-
CASEY: Rd 22 vs Brisbane
All the poster was suggesting was that Howes and Bowey be tried in different positions. Nothing wrong with that.
