AFLW on the main board
The main forum is called Melbourne Demons isn’t it? Is the women’s team not the Melbourne Demons?

AFLW on the main board
Another in favour of putting it in the main forum... my browser defaults to this forum page and so I tend to miss updates on the AFLW forum unless I consciously go looking for them; something that’s easier said than done when you’re brain-dead.

High Flying Shaun Smith
I have no doubts about that at all... he’s actually taken to photography and has a very good eye for the composition of his images... makes me happy because after music, that’s my other passion.

No interest in that... although I did hold out some hope at one point in time when he told me his favourite song was by the Clash

High Flying Shaun Smith
Would love to get back to Melbourne to play gigs, but when your a low profile bunch of part timers, the logistics are a bit daunting; not to mention the fact we may just not be good enough ? (there’s a link to YouTube in that music thread in the General forum). Sadly my son has given up any hope of playing again (for the time being at least) as since his second ACL and first full reconstruction (first was just an arthroscopy), he still feels tightness and instability and lacks the confidence to give it a proper workout.

I used that image in a poster for one of my band’s gigs... Sean Smith saw it in the Facebook event and wanted to see the band... unfortunately we’re about 1,000kms north ?

This one is, I think, better as it gives a wider view (same pic I think, just uncropped)...

AFLW: Rd 2 vs Collingwood
I thought it was funny that no-one in the commentary seemed to noitice that the ball got into our forward fifty courtesy of a superb kick out of the centre by a Magpies player (can't recall who). It was not mentioned once or even replayed.

Nuggets' Music Videos
A bit shameless self promotion here... my band Los Romeos Oxidados recorded live at the Marrickville (Sydney) bar known as The Gasoline Pony, covering a Lefty Frizzell tune "Watcha Gonna Do Leroy" (maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but a bit of fun nevertheless) - note also, if you hang on after this tune finishes, there are six more clips of varying lengths that will start up automatically (starting with our version of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man); but be warned, production values were thrown out of the window and we're probably fortunate that we weren't as well!:

Origins/meanings of Display Names?
From an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies in which the Hollywood actor Dash Riprock’s (aka Homer Noodleman) friend and fellow actor Crunch Hardtack impressed Jethro so much that he decided to give himself the stage name of Beef Jerky... for some reason Hardtack seemed like a pretty good name to have.

Membership packs
My sms was received on Monday... still nothing in the post; but it is a long bike ride up the Hume to Sydney.

Training - Monday 3rd December, 2018
As I drive down from Sydney at this time each year so my son can catch the first session, I'm hoping they stick to the usual arrangement of the first Friday (I think it is) of the new year... in which case it will be on the 4th January.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - NATALIE PORTMAN
Started as a child actor in Luc Besson’s “Leon - The Professional”... still one of my favourite films.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
I have it on good authority that the sonar being used in the search for MH370 has just picked up a signal that matches a certain 2009 #1 draft pick.

Jason Taylor Resume
Jeebus! Give the guy a break... he’s only 50 years old. He’d be good for at least another 10 years.

I’m guessing Range Rover... similar narcissistic tendencies.

While the biscuits have been removed from this thread, we seem to have been left with a few that are crackers.

You’re missing out on the therapeutic goodness to be gained from taking the opportunity to needlessly speculate, be outraged and wring one’s hands.

May (meets thread criteria) I cite you on that?

You have to view that in terms of what it was in response to DC. ?
