    True, but he was the first English Captain to tour Australia!
  2. Demonstone
    Not if he's not good enough. The only relevant aspect is his football talent. For the record, I'd be rapt if we take him and he becomes a star but I wouldn't be basing that decision on his lineage. I think it's a trap to be blinded by fond memories of Jeff and hoping for a romantic outcome.

    If he's good enough, he's good enough and if not, he won't get picked up by Melbourne. Don't forget that none of the 18 clubs were impressed enough to draft him when they all had the opportunity. The fact that he's Jeff Farmer's son is completely irrelevant and doesn't justify blind optimism.

    Might 58er be thinking of Lucas Cook?

    To put this into perspective, you have to keep in mind that this poster also insists that Trump won the election, COVID-19 is a hoax/no worse than the flu and that there was no riot at the Capitol building this week. That's not "higher plane". That's a plane that lacks a pilot and has never got off the ground.

    Ryan Ayres? Warren Ayres was a gun cricketer, mainly for Melbourne, and holds the all-time record for most runs scored in District/Premier Cricket as well as playing 40-odd First Class matches for Victoria.

    Trump cost Republicans the Presidency, the Senate and the House. The orange narcissist actually did it. He made America great again.

    The English language is a beautiful thing old dee, and beautiful things deserve to be treated properly. I'll happily confess to being a pedant but take offence at being termed a "nazi".

    Can I also point out to Bdh that it's "you're" (short for you are) welcome, not "your". Don't mention it.

    * Hear, hear. Also, it it true that NASA planned its moon missions based on an Apollo Creed?
  11. Demonstone
    Well put, Mr. Hemingway. Could it be said that a creed is an organisation's game plan?
  12. Demonstone
    Creed is good.

    "The love of money is the root of all evil" is the whole saying and is actually a Biblical quotation.

    You may have missed the intent of my smart alec post, Luci. Five hundred million dollars?
  15. Demonstone
    Can't be criticised for that decision. $500million is a LOT of money in anyone's language.

    Stuart Spencer wasn't from Tasmania!

    Q: What did the dead blues singer have inscribed on his gravestone? A: "Well, I didn't wake up this morning."

    My brother reckons that "dropkick" is a shortened version of the rhyming slang "dropkick and punt", which puts quite a different complexion on the use of the word as a descriptor of somebody.

    That's funny, I think of people who don't know how to use apostrophes.

    Very nice, hardtack. A Hoodoo Gurus tune, if I'm not mistaken?

    Don't you know how it goes, binman? When we win, it's because the team played well. When we lose, it's because the coach is no good.
  22. Demonstone
    Just make sure you know when you've had enough ...
  23. Demonstone
    Two from the same source: "Trump won". "COVID-19 is a hoax".

    If any Demonlanders face the awful prospect of spending Christmas alone, please contact me. Looking for some extra chairs.

    40 days and 40 nights at least.
