Demonstone

It was Carlton who got lionised last night, not Collingwood.

True dat.

Fev played 187 games for Carlton, but only 17 for Brisbane.

A dirty version of disdain? Couldn't agree more.

A sneak preview of the nominated Demon Army drummer practising for the big game.

I don't think it's the AFL's decision. They don't control the MCG.

At the moment it seems more like nfi, wtaf and stfu.

You may have calluses @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, but I doubt that any part of you is callous.

Tom Wills is believed to have been influenced by his time at Rugby School in England and also by observing the indigenous people in his area playing Marngrook, although no evidence exists for the latter. I'd recommend the excellent book "Tom Wills (First Wild Man of Australian Sport)" by Greg de Moore for a comprehensive account of his life and times.

I think I'm of a smaller calibre than you dc, but I'm a bigger bore. These puns are da bomb!

Pessimist. I see it as Brodie having one sock that stays up.

I'll rifle through my archives for more of these puns. Don't want to be a bullet a gate, though.

It's all related to the Army, believe it or not. This stems from his days at Parade College. He wants to be Captain and be paid attention. It sounds rank, but I've heard that he is feigning Private issues or General soreness (possibly from Corporal punishment). However, I doubt that he is suffering from any Major injury.

I wonder if Demons/Devils is all that different to Eagles/Hawks or Magpies/Crows or Tigers/Lions or Cats/Dogs. I've yet to hear a good suggestion for the new team's nickname other than "Devils" and would be dismayed if they went for something nebulous like Power, Storm, Heat etc.

The Demons versus The Devils would be a hell of a match.

I know we should never take a result for granted, but has there ever been a week on Demonland when at least one poster hasn't described the upcoming match as a "danger game"?

Well @Jaded No More, you either don't know the meaning of "literally", you don't know the meaning of "decapitated" or you were exaggerating for comic effect. My money's on the last of those options.

How could he say that if his head is detached from his body?

Errr ... literally?

Most coaches, anyway.

Dillon officially confirmed as Gill's successor. Knock me down with a feather.

A contradiction in terms, no?

Get the number 8 and apply it sideways so it looks like the infinity symbol and the jumper will last forever.

Weed asked to be traded IIRC. Schache was then recruited to fill his role.

On yer marks ...
