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?

Straight swap for Gaff.

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".

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.

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?

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

Where did he go?

If you wanted to be political, it could be Barnaby on one cheek, Tony on the other and Malcolm in the middle.

Josef Fritzl? If only we still had James Sellar.

I used to know a bloke who sniffed glue (true story) and his nickname was 'Bostik'.

Dunno about you lot, but those ads scared the bejeezus out of me and had a lasting impact. I've never been ten-pin bowling since.

I hereby dub him "Wee Charlie Spargo". There hasn't been one since the days of Georgie Bisset.

Harrison? Petty? Are we trying to re-unite the Travelling Wilburys here?

No room for Sean Wight?

I started following this mob in 1965. I'll take any sort of flag at all; it's the only thing left on my bucket list.

Like how his first name is an anagram of 'angry'.

In 1972 our under 15s footy trip was to Kardinia Park to watch Geelong v Melbourne. Tilbrook was playing full back in the seconds that day and his kickouts were regularly reaching the centre. He kicked it so hard, the BANG! would echo around the still empty ground like a rifle shot. From memory, the seniors had a big win later that day. Sorry, realise this is off topic!

How very MCC-like of you to call players by their number, binman. But what has Weideman got to do with the topic?
