Demonstone

No, he was booed because he was a blackfella that had an opinion and spoke up about the disgraceful treatment his people had and still do endure from the less enlightened members of society. Those people objected to an "uppity black who didn't know his place". Anyone suggesting it wasn't racially based because other Aborigines weren't booed is missing the point entirely. As if you have to abuse every member of a minority group before it's considered racist behaviour. FFS. When the docos go to air, it's a safe bet that those would benefit most and learn something from watching them will be the least likely to even tune in.

I wondered how long it would be before a knuckle dragger brought up this red herring. If that is a reason for sustained booing, why didn't other "floppers" (eg. Matthew Lloyd) cop it? Further, if it were the real reason, why did he not get booed for all of his career?

You could buy fairy floss at the Melbourne Show much, much cheaper.

But, but ... all the experts on here told me he was going to Collingwood, for certain.

Don't worry Soupy, it happens to us all and I don't exempt myself from that. Q: What's the most common pick-up line in the Alzheimer's Disco? A: "Do I come here often?"

Your memory is playing tricks, mate. They didn't play against each other - Biff retired three years before Duckworth debuted.

Pagan never coached Phil Krakouer.

Melbourne Bitter seems most appropriate at the moment.

Funny how Inelegant always bobs up at the same time as Basher, liking each other's posts etc. Makes you wonder if it's the same troll with multiple aliases. Back under the bridge you go ... IGNORE LIST!

I'm not doing anything with my back paddock at the moment. Granted, it would need developing and it's four to five hours drive from Melbourne, but you've got to start somewhere.

Makes me wonder if the word he used rhymed with 'maggot'. Otherwise, the banning beggars belief.

Clarry "choo choo" train??

"Supporter"

Dunkley it is.

I'll take that bet. How much would you like to put on it? Or are you just all mouth and no trousers?

Hindenburg was a zeppelin.

I really hope GWS wins the flag this year.

* LOCK THREAD * Over to the gameday thread Demon fans!

Grumpy Cat died this week. Surely Scott would be the logical replacement.

I'd endorse those sentiments, but a very small point of order: It's 'Wiz' ( short for The Wizard) not 'Whiz' (what we do at a urinal).

Would you like some cheese with that whine, Don?

No doubt we'll all look back at this and chuckle when Maysy ascends the podium to receive his third consecutive Norm Smith Medal.

Never in doubt. Only two games outside the eight.

Was this the recession we had to have? One step back to take two steps forward? Jeez I hope so.

If we even win the toss, I reckon I might do a lap of honour around the lounge room.
