Demonstone

(Not) sorry to be a pedant but, if we win the next two games, this week will be the penultimate and the Grand Final would then be the ultimate.

I'm not.

Stand by for a message from Mr. E. McGuire of Toorak, who is seeking three tickets.

We already have the cake and I believe we have the icing as well. Adam could be the Cerra on top.

Cheers WCW. I saw that earlier and it's a sensational effort and one to make any Dad feel proud. I'm less proud of all the Fathers' Day cards I've received addressed to "To Whom It May Concern".

Why do you love the Cats so much?

Plenty on here seem to think so. Some even convince themselves that the AFL tells them which team to favour.

Nah, I believe he's a Protestant.

One with a Melbourne flavour I'm surprised hasn't been nominated yet ...

Tonight's playlist: Ron Sexsmith -> Ash -> Sufjan Stevens -> Toots & The Maytals.

Not to mention Humphrey B. Flaubert, brother of Demonland's own Colin!

Polite enquiry Wrecker - how can you tell?

I'm the same BDA and also finding it hard to decide which of the two teams I'd rather prevail.

Can't say I have a particular favourite or go-to song; it's more a case of what I feel like at the time. Last night it was Beck, Weezer and Alex Chilton. Tonight will something entirely different. No matter what your choice however, it beats listening to the appalling TV commentary.

You'd struggle to convince me that 186 wasn't a disgrace. Same goes for Neeld's time at our club.

In professional sport, it is all about winning. Ask any past, current or prospective AFL player and I'm sure they'd tell you that winning Premierships is the ultimate goal and that individual awards, while nice, are not what they strive for.

What does it say about our society when there is a Highway To Hell but only a Stairway To Heaven?

No, stuff it. Enough of the negativity, the doom and gloom and pessimism, the whining and moaning, thinking that the AFL and the umpires have it in for us, that we never have any luck, the self pitying and all that feeble-minded talk of curses, upsetting the footy gods, tempting fate and all that superstitious nonsense. The time is now. 2021 is our year. Be positive, have belief, support our boys, think like a winner, embrace success and enjoy life as a Melbourne supporter. Go Demons.

Life imitates sport. My cat just threw up a furball.

I've noticed a lot of posters quoting their feelings of MFCSS in the lead up to our Preliminary Final against Geelong. It's time we reclaimed this negative acronym, make it our own and wear it with pride. My proposal is that, henceforth, we assign the following meaning to the term: Melbourne Football Club September Specialists

Got his just desserts?

We get 14 days off. Shouldn't make any difference to either team.

Do you ever feel good about a game, Jaded?

It's certainly not because purple is a combination of red and blue.

It would be a thrill to see Big Mummy reprise the role of Big Carl in the last round of 1980.
