Demonstone

Get on Amon Demon.

I don't reckon that should be a factor in selection despite the romantic/feelgood nature of it. We must always pick our best team and this week's looks particularly strong.

You tell me. I've never seen any of that meathead's movies.

Don't know what the go is with FTA broadcasting this round, but it appears that only three of the nine games will be on Channel 7 - one tonight and two tomorrow afternoon. Looks like there is no Saturday night nor Sunday arvo games on FTA. Anybody have any idea why they aren't showing the customary four matches at the usual times?

There's a nice little interview with Bowser on the AFL site today. https://www.afl.com.au/video/754724/footy-feed-undefeated-demon-to-celebrate-unique-100th?videoId=754724&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1651814211001

I'm quite fond of nibbling on these.

Reminds me of that band who called themselves "Free Beer". Licensed venues were most reluctant to book them.

The thread title is misleading as there is no news.

This thread may now be moot as Melbourne City Council have approved the demolition of the old stand and redevelopment of Punt Road and it is now up to the State Government to give the final okay.

Do you mean Jordan Jone's? Go Dee's.

Manchester United are NOT part of my Demon family. Wash your mouth out!

He plays for the same team as Jordan, Wiedermann, Thomlinson and Bowie. And you call yourself a Melbourne fan.

Wurlitzer one for the money, two for the show ...

Richmond's threat to leave Punt Road if they don't get their way seems hollow to me. They would be the only ones to suffer if they took that action so the threat is meaningless.

Clearly not an example of Shiel be Wright.

I think there are two records being confused here. The record that Bowey holds is the most number of career games without a single loss. The other record is most games before first loss, as shown in the table above. Bowey is four wins behind that particular record at the moment.

That was the joke.

That's what spuds are for.

I think I may hold the record here. It was round 9 in 1998 and we lost to Essendon at the MCG after a stirring win the previous week at the same venue against Collingwood. Lyon, Viney and Stynes were among those still playing for the Demons. Haven't been to a game since for reasons many and varied. Come at me.

Nutshell.

We were shaken, but not stirred.

Not for a long time, binny. Drew Banfield in 1992 and Michael Gardiner in 1996 are their only number one draft picks.

Seventeen Grand Finals as either a player or coach for ten wins (and a draw).

3 + 1 = 4 which was Norm Smith's number. I can hear that Twilight Zone theme playing.

Matt Buntine was clearly rated as a junior, being taken at pick 5 in the 2011 draft. Adam Tomlinson went at pick 9 in the same draft.
