Demonstone

It's lockdown and you can tell that I'm quite bored and have way too much time on my hands. Below is a team, listed in position from the backline. Some of the names will be familiar, others less so but all played VFL/AFL. Your task is to find the common link. B: John James Chad Morrison Majak Daw H/B: Alex Keath Ted Richards Neville Stone C: Jason Gram Michael Parsons Craig Bird H/F: Farren Ray Rick Davies Rene Kink F: Lachie Neale George Young Gary Cowton R: Chris Bryan Chris Connolly Eric Sweet Have at it Demon fans!

Is the author related to Jim Cardwell, Melbourne's own legendary "Prince of Secretaries"?

Is there an echo in here?

It was Barry Humphries, who recorded it in 1964 under the title of "Snow Complications". The Coodabeen Champions trot it out each year on Queen's Birthday weekend so you'll hear it at the start of their show this Saturday morning at 10am if you are keen to listen to it all again. Gerry Humphreys was the singer of legendary sixties Australian band The Loved Ones.

Not sure what you're trying to say here, mono. Racism is racism is racism, regardless of the perpetrator.

I'd have to say he looks a long way from being fired up in that pic. Come on son. Be fired with enthusiasm or you'll be fired ... with enthusiasm.

there is no doubt the pies are going to lift hard for Bucks I think there's considerable doubt as expressed by many other learned posters on this forum. They may come out flat and deflated after using up all their emotional energy in the days leading up to the game. As a postscript, why have you felt the need to to change your username no fewer than eleven times? It makes it hard to know who is posting when people keep doing this or changing their avatars all the time.

I'd be happy to see Mark Neeld return to coaching at Collingwood. Or Carlton. I'm not fussy. Meanwhile, good to see past players playing tribute to Bucks ...

Where would you go to hire some waters?

Yes.

Nah, it was real unfortunately. Bit of an abberation, however.

Looks like Rafael Nadal disputing a line call.

Me too, but I'm also fond of a little head.

As a result of that win, Collingwood jump from 16th on the ladder all the way up to .... 16th. Let's keep them there.

It's worth remembering that Weed hasn't even played 50 games yet. I reckon he'll improve considerably and I'd back him in to do so.

Congratulations to sue for winning this week's "Missed The Obvious Joke Award".

Alas, I think we've past the point of no return.

That was alright I suppose.

People are no longer saying that we paid overs for Rick and rightly so. He's a gem.

Haha! Not trying to pick on you Smokey. It's bad enough that so many nuffies think that plurals (or any word ending in an "s") require an apostrophe, but inserting one into a player's name is beyond the pale. Same goes for the cringeworthy but ubiquitous "Go Dee's". No apostrophe required! That hereby ends today's grammar lesson from Demonland's resident pedant.

How does she feel about Jone's, Harme's, Bray'shaw and 'Spargo?

McCluggage or McLuggage? Let's make him pack his McBags tonight.

I was quite angry with Robinson for that comment, mostly because what he said was true. I've since come to admire his footballing ability and gutsy play but wouldn't be unhappy to see the above scenario.
