bush demon

I thought true demon tragics may like this one. From AROUND THE PACKS by Jack Dunn of the Melbourne Sun, June 1966:

Especially since the Free Agency concept is now a moveable feast.

GWS backed off due to 'due diligence'. If they had used that yardstick a couple of years ago they wouldn't have wasted millions to spite Melbourne and then could have outbid other teams when the time came. Just sayin...

'Jesse Pinckman' has posted a spoiler tweet showing him in bed with Walt and Skylar. Didn't pick that.

Agree. Just read Red Fox, and it is explained how Ron Jnr. was recruited after Melbourne initiated changes in recruiting rules to allow him to be picked up. Any common sense understanding starts at least with the Barassi Snr, Barassi junior legend.

Our mid-60's rivals were just hungrier at every level. We had ten premierships in 25 years so things just plateaud. My other thought on it is that we preceded the age of television, and all entire glorious record vanished (like the '64 GF tape), so that future youngsters got brainwashed on the likes of the Saints, The Blues, The Tigers, The Pies etc, and we became a museum piece. Nowhere exists any meaningful footage of passages of play of our great teams, other than very brief snapshots.

It may be heresy to say this, but Norm Smith's day had passed. In a way, the sacking preserved his immortality because it has allowed supporters past and present to wallow in his demise and how the club's misfortunes can all be be laid at the feet of the 1965 MFC committee. I am sick of this crutch. More attention should be accorded to the (unnamed) seagull which has unceremoniously pooped on the Ron Barassi statue.

Suggested Demonland activity: go to a thread where everyone is slagging off at each other and post a comment about the summer Ashes series and see if it gets deleted because its not about football.

Don't forget George Lakes.

You Only Live Twice.

Presumably because this would lead to a devaluing also of our AAA credit rating. Punishment by international credit agencies for trying to manipulate the currency. This in turn would increase our cost of raising finance overseas to pay for our housing loans and bank cards.

The Tory, Labor and truth-seeking media commentary on debt is a blinkered insult to people who slaving their guts out through their working lives. The public debt melodrama is but a small part of the big picture. What about the massive - and growing - PRIVATE FOREIGN DEBT. This issue truly crosses party lines. We as a nation live well beyond our means and it is not just government largesse via middle-class welfare of the Howard era, baby pay of the proposed Abbott gig, or the tendency to spend more on services of the centre-left parties. The libs bang on about government debt because they want to protect self-interest. you never hear them talking about the amount of money being borrowed off-shore to prop up the shop here in Australia. And to think Ron Barassi, Brian Dixon and Ray Groom were my footballing idols. The net total $$$ Australia owes to the rest of the world is fast approaching $800 billion, will this get in the news in the next few weeks? I doubt it. : http://www.australiandebtclock.com.au/

LJ interested in reviving his career with us? Club has been in constant contact with him during his travailles. Jurrah back playing footy after release from Alice Springs jail

Mitch Clark shouldn't play football in slippers.

I have been a one-eyed JW supporter, but it's stuff like turning his back to the play (when we were in possession) and ball in vicinity at the 13m mark of first quarter that makes me feel the guy is not wholly committed. He doesn't 'gut-run' to offer himself to the ball-carrier, just little half-runs. That said, the overall team performance is so poor that it is hard to mark him fairly.

Dees owned the last ten minutes. If they can bring that effort to next half plus bring on Wonnaemirri, could be a lot closer than some think.

Fitzy in the forward line: a presence.

Viney the warrior.

Comical free to Freo, great tackle. Howe gets mongrel bounce in square, bad luck.

Poster. JW has done two high collisions, will have to watch that.

Great work again Homer, setting up scoring shot.

Goal Dean Kent. Well done.

JW doesn't work to create opportunities or help out unless the ball immediately in his domain. Very sorry to be saying this.

13 minute mark and JW ambles away from the action, back to the ball. We are in possession.

Miss McLean, but your scenario is like saying Australia'sprivate foreign debt is over a trillion dollars, whereas our net foreign (private) debt is only about 800 billion dollars. So, taking into account Mitch Clark (Brisbane) for Moloney, (or Maloney as demonlanders prefer) and Hogan for Scully our position isn't nearly so dire.
