Demonstone

It feels like it's about 30 degrees outside. Fahrenheit, that is.

Acob van Rooyen hardly touched it today.

Just wondering, Steve. I assumed we didn't have a lot of young posters as most of us appear to be grizzled, rusted-on longtime Demon tragics. The poll numbers to date would support that assumption with fewer than 10% being under 30.

Here's hoping tonight isn't a "Horror Movie" for Demon fans.

I just watched the last ten minutes of that quarter and the ball didn't go into our half. It doesn't help when every kick out of defence seemed to find a Swans player. They were all over us and should be in front.

Had a prostate check recently?

Nobody has volunteered for the "81 and older" category so far. I can only assume that old dee hasn't logged on yet.

There's nothing in the bank but I might be able to conjure up something if I make an effort. No promises. EDIT: I've just drafted a couple of new ones. Stand by for the bye! 😉

Might as well because nobody will be able to tell which vote is yours. I set it up that way deliberately so no need to be coy.

I am curious as to the age makeup of Demonlanders. I suspect that, like our supporter base, it will skew towards the middle/top end. Voters names will not be made public, so don't be shy!

Luke Beveridge claims he "didn't see the incident". Why do coaches of the (allegedly) offending player never see such things, I wonder?

Is Rosman injured or unwell? Haven't heard any such news on him this week. Bedford named as an "In" but doesn't appear in the team, which suggests that he may again be our Injury Sub in the main game.

Ron was the co-author of Robert Flower's book "Robbie" which was released in late 1987. R.I.P.

In 2018 when Zach Tuohy goaled after the siren to sink us, a Collingwood-supporting mate sent me a text saying "Gee, that must sting!" complete with laughing emoji. I didn't bite at the time, but took great delight in sending him the exact same text when Dom Sheed kicked the winning goal to beat the Magpies in that year's Grand Final. He didn't take it well.

Did anybody else see the thread title and immediately assume that Werridee was the author?

I think "Chair" is appropriate for either gender. Some prefer to add a "Mister" or "Madam" prefix.

Thanks dc, I think that's it.

Two thirds (12) or one third?

I realise you're only being serious*, but there are problems with this scenario. 1. He can't play for us this year so won't be part of 2022's back to back. 2. If he plays in our 2023 premiership team, we would have gone back to back to back. 3. If we don't win it this year but go back to back in 2023 and 2024, Tex will be about 45 years old by then. It's all too difficult to envisage and therefore unlikely for mine. * This post is equally as serious.

Hopefully they are F - - - - - for many years to come.

Facepalm. (Cotchin's face, Franklin's "palm")

Suspension upheld.

Updates on afl.com.au for those who wish to follow proceedings.

We can't pick up anybody. There is no vacant position on our list. We are not participating in the MSD.

Although they essentially have the same meaning, I incorrectly used the word "deliberate" instead of the appropriate term "intentional" in my take on the matter. Nevertheless, my opinion is unchanged that Franklin doesn't have a case. This is not to say that the AFL won't roll over, of course.
