Demonstone

Who are "they"? It's not the AFL saying this, it's an epidemiologist suggesting that the AFL consider it. Storm in a teacup.

We should be OK if people stop posting just for the sake of it.

Glenn James? ( I doubt you're referring to Rowan Sawers!)

Me too, Jim! I reckon a nice big "Demonland" logo would look rather fetching.

Understand the rationale, hate the look of it.

I'm surprised that VB outsold XXXX in Queensland.

You must have a decent Thesaurus. Mine is not only terrible, it's terrible.

I just had a look, hoping I hadn't said something I now feel a bit silly about. Well, I did and I do!

Ed Langdon out of contract at the end of his first year? Gotta be a mistake.

If he played for Richmond, they could make a movie based on that image and call it "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Finger".

Why would Gawny be licking Clarry?

With the possible exception of Christian Salem, who has gone the lemon rinse in his hair!

Welcome back, old dee. Wondered where you'd got to! Here's to a full and speedy recovery from your illness.

Maybe Goody needs to put his stamp on it?

If ever a poster resembled his avatar ... cheer up Andrew!! ☺️

Anyone silly enough to put money on us finishing last can have that bet with me.

Dee-luded's been here in this latest guise for five minutes and already has close to a thousand posts of drivel. Clearly loves the sound of his own voice, or whatever the internet equivalent is. Just put him on 'ignore' and watch the quality of threads and your life improve immeasurably. ?

Trading Jordie Gysberts to North in exchange for Cam Pedersen was very much a win for us.

Source? Or just your imagination?

I voted "no" but it's a moot point as I always watch with the sound muted so I don't have to suffer the egotistical boofhead callers.

No such thing as a "sign on fee" is there? He didn't sign anyway, so I think you may be mistaken.

Couldn't agree more about Martin, he's gone to have a very good career at Brisbane. As far as Howe goes, I thought it was well known that he went to Collingwood for less money than what we were offering because he was a Magpie diehard growing up and he was promised a spot in their forward line. We all know that didn't last long!

It was a bit more complicated than that, jnrmac. The following from Wikipedia: Jarman was initially drafted by Melbourne with pick 55 in the inaugural 1986 VFL Draft.,[2] but chose to remain in Adelaide with the Roosters. Once the Demons' three-year rights to Jarman lapsed, Brisbane claimed him with a concessional pre-draft selection in the 1989 VFL Draft.[3] Once again Jarman chose to stay in his home state. In 1990 the turmoil that led to the creation of the Adelaide Crows and thereby automatically relegated the SANFL to secondary importance within South Australia caused Jarman to reassess his career. Following some friction with the Crows' football manager Neil Kerley, Jarman chose to head east, signing for Hawthorn after the club traded pick 10 in the 1990 AFL Draft to the Bears for his contractual rights

My memory is that we asked for Bartel but Geelong wisely wouldn't let him go. Moloney wasn't our first choice.

Nice one as usual, s.o.n.s. Do you just have a fantastic memory or is there a resource you consult to assist you? "Ratten" I believe would be Johnny "The Rat" Platten.
