Demonstone

This weekend is a personal milestone for me in that it will be 200 weeks since I last drank alcohol. I've told friends I'll have a beer when Melbourne wins the flag. After such a long time off it, I think I'd be less of a two-pot screamer and more of a Cadbury's (a glass and a half) or even an Omo (less than a third of a cup).

I thought that match report title was 'Our Friend The Wino' for a moment there.

In my first ever game of under 12s, I only got one kick. It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

I think his most recent game was Number 96. They could make a TV series about it (one for the more mature reader).

Not sure on the exact date, but I believe it was a Wednesday.

A racecourse you say? Wonder if Horse thought of it.

This repetitive shtick is getting tiresome mate. If you genuinely believed that the comp is rigged, why the hell would you keep watching?

Hope there's no need to switch to Melbourne Bitter.

We did have a Phil Rhoden who only played a handful of games in the 60s I think.

On the other hand, we gave them Sean Charles. Broke his leg in his one and only game for them, poor bloke.

Straight swap for Gaff.

Hmmmm ... Cale Hooker you reckon?

Don't let the sideshows distract you from the main event.

Someone posted a few years ago at a VFL game where the opposition supporters were sticking it to the Demons fans for being rich etc. One of our blokes finally answered back with "Shut up or we'll put your rent up".

Crows fans will be really happy. They've just been tipped out of the eight by a bee's and replaced by .... Port Adelaide.

'Water' is correct ... the letters H to O = H2O = water. ps this is the non-MFC game thread ... games still to come. :)

Seeing as we're a few hours off game time, here is the best cryptic clue of all time IMO. The answer is a common five letter word. HIJKLMNO

I'm such of fan of crosswords that I've asked to be buried six down, two across.

They should banish him to umpire in the Western Region Football League, where he would be just a Little Ray of Sunshine.

Nice work, Dr. D. My only quibble would be that naming Oskar Baker and Weed as 'potential misses' is a tad premature.

I went to that game. Seeing as the mate I went with was a Fitzroy man and he was driving, we had to stay. Until the end.

Ha Ha! Superb!!!

It's enough to make me almost wish I knew some Crows' fans. Almost.

I've heard they're negotiating with McDonalds to rename it the McG.

Meh. It will always be Docklands to me.
