  1. The drink of choice round here of late seems to be Melbourne Bitter.
  2. I've heard the same thing. Petracca to Collingwood in a straight swap for both Daicos brothers plus Quaynor thrown in as steak knives.
  3. I don't personally know anybody with those first names, but a quick Google search will reveal they exist.
  4. Say hello to McLean Stevenson, aka Lt. Colonel Henry Blake of M*A*S*H* fame!
  5. Ad infinitum. Ad nauseam.
  6. I thought it might make a change from the mass anger, bitterness and vitriolic wrist-slashing of late. Be warned that I have three (3!!) more teasers up my sleeve, but will not post any for a while.
  7. We could try Robin Hood at full-forward. His kicking is apparently straight as an arrow.

    I realise that The Festival Of Denounce The Demons is in full swing, but that's just not true. Drafting is an inexact science that can only be judged with hindsight. St Kilda drafted Jack Billings ahead of Marcus Bontempelli. Collingwood picked Nathan Freeman ahead of Patrick Cripps. Richmond took Richard Tambling ahead of Buddy Franklin and Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls ahead of Nathan Jones. Hawthorn chose Xavier Ellis ahead of Scott Pendlebury. James Hird was famously drafted at pick 79 and Chris Grant lasted until pick 105. Moral of the story? Every club has its drafting blunders. It's not just us.
  9. If we lose: "Sack the coach". "Burn the joint down". "I'm cancelling my membership". "Wooden spoon". If we win: "It was only North". "Should have won by more". "Do it against a good team". "Sack the coach".
  10. An oblique reference to Matthew 20.16 - "So the last will be first". This is the first and almost definitely the last time I'll be referencing the scriptures! Friggidy is a rapper who has a "song" called "And The Last Shall Be First" Bailey is also a first name. None of the others meet this criterion. Reference to Godwin Grech of 2009's "Utegate" scandal. Godwin/Goodwin. Thanks @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew! The answer of course is that all the players in my team have surnames that can also be first names. I can understand your frustration and anger. You probably want to hit me. Hit me. Hit me. We started with Ian Dury. It would seem appropriate to let the last be the first.
  11. @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew is correct on two fronts. Double bravo! Not only has he identified the correct answer but has also provided another clue.
  12. Hmmm, still no more takers. To help find the answer, focus less on Fogarty (the Crow) and more on Friggidy Tha Saint.
  13. There but for the grace of cod and so on? This particular teaser falls into category 3. I'll be back in the morning with a further clue if required (which I suspect may be the case).
  14. And .... we have a winner! Congratulations to @Lucifers Hero for solving today's teaser.
  15. Looks like that first clue was far too obscure. (Demonland: What freakin' clue?) Here's another. The coach of this team is Dean Bailey. None of Goodwin, Roos, Neeld, Daniher, Balme or Northey qualify.

    He's called "The Wizard" because he can turn certain goals into behinds.
  17. Sure. 3 - not football related.
  18. We've cracked the ton! One hundred views, but only one (incorrect) suggestion to date. My nephew Matthew's footy team also cracked the ton today, kicking an impressive 20.16.136.
  19. written abbreviation for your mileage may vary: used, for example on social media and in text messages and emails, to mean that you understand people may have a different opinion or experience to yours: Their first album is better, but of course YMMV.
  20. Ian Dury had reasons to be cheerful. So do we! 1. Melbourne can't lose this weekend 2. Casey can't lose this weekend 3. There's another brainteaser* * may not necessarily cause cheerfulness As always, below is a mock team that today consists entirely of past and present Demons players. What do they have in common? I don't rate this one as particularly difficult. YMMV. Answers in a PM only if you would be so considerate. ===================================================== B: Daniel Ward Steven May Phil Gilbert H/B: Lachie Hunter Nathan Carroll Joel Macdonald C: Caleb Windsor Clayton Oliver Bernie Vince H/F: Sean Charles Mitch Clark Dean Kent F: Aaron Davey Daniel Turner Kade Chandler R: Stefan Martin Cameron Bruce Brock McLean I/C: Dom Tyson Cale Morton Jake Spencer Matthew Jefferson SUB: Bailey Laurie
  21. Come on, you can do better than that. Wooden spoon! Wooden spoon!

    Insert "Repost counter 149,988" meme here.
  23. That would present a problem if said door was closed, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew. If it was open, another problem may arise in the area of projectile retrieval. You would also need to consider the kid's feelings. He may not want to get his nuts wet.
  24. Coach says nothing. Demonland: "Why isn't the club explaining what is going on? Where's our Comms Team?" Coach gives interview. Demonland: "Blah blah blah. Talk is cheap. Let's see some action."
