Demonstone

Goes around in circles too much for my liking.

It appears to be creating a whitewash.

Good get Nasher! I'd forgotten about that one. Clarry "The Beast" Oliver could go with 666, but the numbers would look a bit cramped.

The highest number ever worn by a Melbourne player was 59 in 1986, as sported by Andrew Dale.

If he's found guilty, a fine will be the least of his problems. We're talking about a large, trafficable amount of gear here.

Is that the next big stadium being built?

Can't help but see a touch of R. Flower about that mark.

Think you might have the wrong end of the dog.

Crikey, are people that negative that they're going the pre-emptive sook now?

No change ... for this year. Inevitably, the tail will wag the dog and Channel 7 will get its wish very soon.

Nice to have a game to talk about after that nine-day sookfest we've just had. Demons by a few goals for me.

Or what?

Great, another hair shirt post. About time we gave the self-flagellation a rest girls.

Sounds to me that people are just looking for shadows to jump at.

Apparently, he told the boys to go out in the last quarter with one goal in mind , which Nibbler duly delivered.

You can sort of understand it. McKenna IS Irish and Dickson IS a spud.

Lucky that Peter Filandia isn't still at Essendon.

Commonwealth Games?

Anyone else reckon this thread becomes redundant once the team is announced in the other thread? Each week we seem to end up with two threads essentially discussing the same thing. Mods?

Sorry Barrie! I agree that Tassie Johnson may be the one you're thinking of, and what a prodigious roost he had. As a kid I had the big Mobil posters of Tassie and Hassa Mann on my wall, and Hassa's 29 was on my first guernsey.

Are you blokes sure about Danny Hughes? The dropkick had disappeared from the VFL in 1980, a few years before he debuted under Ron Barassi, who most certainly would not have permitted anyone to dropkick. ps. Just checked my 1987 Elimination Final tape ... no dropkicks from Hughes or anyone else.

I tried breeding Easter Bunnies once, but their eggs don't taste nearly as chocolatey as they look.

Never in doubt.

I think we've all heard this song before. It's by Captain Hindsight and The Monday Experts.

That's Hogan alright, only with a goatee and a different face.
