  1. Plenty on here seem to think so. Some even convince themselves that the AFL tells them which team to favour.
  2. Nah, I believe he's a Protestant.
  3. One with a Melbourne flavour I'm surprised hasn't been nominated yet ...
  4. Tonight's playlist: Ron Sexsmith -> Ash -> Sufjan Stevens -> Toots & The Maytals.
  5. Not to mention Humphrey B. Flaubert, brother of Demonland's own Colin!
  6. Polite enquiry Wrecker - how can you tell?
  7. I'm the same BDA and also finding it hard to decide which of the two teams I'd rather prevail.
  8. 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.
  9. You'd struggle to convince me that 186 wasn't a disgrace. Same goes for Neeld's time at our club.
  10. 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.
  11. What does it say about our society when there is a Highway To Hell but only a Stairway To Heaven?
  12. 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.
  13. Life imitates sport. My cat just threw up a furball.
  14. Demonstone posted a topic in Melbourne Demons
    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
  15. Got his just desserts?
  16. We get 14 days off. Shouldn't make any difference to either team.
  17. Do you ever feel good about a game, Jaded?
  18. It's certainly not because purple is a combination of red and blue.
  19. It would be a thrill to see Big Mummy reprise the role of Big Carl in the last round of 1980.
  20. Is your real name Jimmy? The Jimmy?
  21. Did that come before or after your immaculate conception?
  22. Howdy Rollo, great to hear from you again. You are correct and your mate is not - it was Micky Bone whom Crompton followed up the ground.
  23. But why? It just sounds like immature retribution along the "two wrongs make a right" school of thought. This pandemic is not about politics. It is a major health issue that impacts on people regardless of who they vote for.
  24. Better to be woke than asleep at the wheel, I suppose.
  25. How would our straight kicking help to keep Brisbane under five goals?
