Demonstone

A corky, perhaps?

Who do you think England will bring into the team to replace Sterling? Surely he's now on the plane to Tokyo to compete in the diving for England. By default, it's Forza Azzurri! for me.

I just had a quick squiz at Hellofatime's posting history and six of has last seven posts have been calling for Majak's inclusion up forward. It's not just an opinion, it's a crusade!

I reckon you are if you claim that the AFL instructs umpires to influence the outcome of games. Incidentally, you only make such claims when we are losing. Is it also "manipulated" when we win? You clearly have every right to believe that the competition is rigged/manipulated but in my opinion that is risible and as nonsensical as most other conspiracy theories.

Does this mean we can now expect the Federal Government and the Murdoch press to rip into N.S.W. and their Premier the same way they attacked Victoria and our Premier? (I know, I know ....)

Are you sure that's not just the MFCSS talking, Jaded? I can't believe that's true.

You still reckon it's all rigged? Don't go changing Clint, you're always good for a chuckle.

How has this absolute nothingburger of a thread attracted 75 posts? (Apart from nuffies like me responding, that is)

Genuine? ?

Bevo might have been thinking of Matthew Elliott. As the saying went at the time, "If you drink and run, you're a bloody Elliott!".

Bags was referring to Artificial Wisdom's bathroom door gag, not your original post jnrmac.

I've had the inside word on our preferred target and I can't believe it's not Butters.

The real question is which Demonlander will be the first to trot out that tired, stale old cliche about "bathwater".

Further evidence that some people bring joy wherever they go and others bring joy whenever they go.

I think enough people have hit upon the correct answer. Not only are the players' surnames the same as movie stars, they are all female actors. Mazer Rackham, maximum bob and Fanatique Demon all share this week's prize which is my AFLX All Nations team (liberties may have been taken with some names!). The Players: Peter German, Ben Holland, Heath Scotland, Andrew Ireland, Barnaby French, Andrew Welsh, Des English and Ray Finn. The Coach: Wayne Brittain The Reserves: "Turkey" Tom Carroll, "Aussie" Jones, Mark "Russian" Jamar, Kevin "Hungary" Bartlett, Charlie Cameroon.

Can you be more specific?

Sorry that it made you vomit, bob. Not music related this week.

It's not common knowledge, FD. It's also not relevant!

Despite Mazer Rackham's James Bond joke above, he's just PMed me with the correct answer. Happy to leave it open for longer if people still wish to torture themselves.

How do you know this?

At this early stage? Short answer, "No". Long answer, "Noooooooo".

If Tracc reads this Kev, I'm sure he'll take your plank comments on board. See what I did there?

With the Port game being in the early slot of Thursday night, this week's quiz is going up a day before usual as well. Again we have a team (a quite good one, you'd have to admit) of AFL/VFL players past and present, in position from the backline. What do they have in common? B: Ross Thornton Harris Andrews Mark Roberts H/B: Easton Wood Peter Foster Frank Davis C: Josh Kelly Tim Watson Jayden Hunt H/F: Scott Thompson Jack Watts Taylor Adams F: Liam Ryan Sam Day Zac Fisher R: Peter Moore Shane Crawford Scott West I/C: Jarrod Berry Lewis Taylor Colin Garland Daryl Griffiths

You're welcome to talk about Tracc. But Kev, seriously mate ...
