Who has to come back fitter - besides Clarrie and the injured players?

The whole team.

Go Saints.

Go Suns.

Our season in a nutshell.

That’s a shame. I was hoping Laurie the enforcer would take out Maynard early on !!!! 

Laurie wouldn't be my first pick.

Well I thought tonight was going to be lovely...

Big blob of rain about to appear and the forecast is now "Very high chance of showers, tending to rain at times later this evening. Damaging winds possible about the nearby hills later this evening."

Looking at the radar, it will all pass over by 6pm or so.

Ground will be wet but no rain during the first quarter and a half.

Then it will bucket down.

He better come out and clearly state he’s a Demons for life.

I can’t handle hearing anything else this week. I’m still raw from the JLo-Affleck divorce announcement.

Feels like a metaphor for our season:

Not sure what options they had to cover a mid?

I was thinking more about not playing Jefferson and getting some surgery done early.

The pies for instance are managing mcstay.

I go to virtually every Demons match at the G. But going to filth matches absolutely does my head in ... the filth team, coach and supporters make me (figuratively speaking) sick. So I won't go to any of their matches ... grand finals included. (I've been to every MCC GF since 2004 but didn't go last year ... thankfully.)

So, sorry to all, I won't be there. Please cheer a bit louder to cover my absence. 

 

I feel much the same way and understand completely.

I'm going for nibbla.

Nah, they know I’ll show them up. 

Sadly, with our kicking skills, you're probably right!

I'll preface this by saying that I'm related to Luke Parker. That said, you've got to be kidding BBP. Hunter is vastly inferior to Luke by any measure you care to make. Most importantly, he has that will to win that very few have. 

Is his his nick name Nosey?

Oh ffs 

Did any of these clowns stop and think that maybe, just maybe, Trac was putting on a happy face and telling his teammates he was doing ok when asked?

How many people do you know who put on a smile, while deep down they’re struggling?!

It is entirely plausible that Trac felt a sense of responsibility to maintain the upbeat tone that he’s so well known and loved for amongst his teammates. It’s entirely possible that when his mates asked how he’s doing, and of course they did, he said he’s fine. 

Maybe he wasn’t ready to tell them how badly he was struggling, or maybe he didn’t know himself how badly he was struggling either, until he had time to process. 

Indeed.

And maybe the context is important.

We are talking about an AFL football club FFS.

No doubt the culture of footy clubs have improved - somewhat.

But they are still full of ultra alphas, where winning is everything and where playing through pain is not only par for the course it is lionozed (eg pendlebury being lauded for playing the last two game with an injury).

The Demons take on the Magpies in a dead rubber in their last match of the 2024 Premiership Season with pride on the line. Who comes in and who goes out?

There's a game this week?

If you have these posters on ignore, how do you really know they're long gone?

Because peanuts and trolls constantly get quoted!

Oh man, Trac looks very happy in the water. He’s off to the Swans. 

Tracc wants trout?

Don't tell me we have another poster who thinks he never loses an argument.

I resemble that comment.

Wait for the appeal.

I hope they appeal and i hope it goes down to four weeks.

Just in case they go undefeated for the rest of the year.

Don't want him to risk missing round one for the dees next year thru injury.

He was wearing the wrong black and white stripes 

White and black?

Can i propose we change the title and focus of this stoooopid thread:

Any chance you can tell us how many are on the list bin?

Actually not that many to he honest. I tend just to skip posts by posters who grind my gears or burn my bacon.

I just checked. 28 in total. But I've posting on demonland for a long time.

Mainly 'characters' that are long gone (mostly banned) -  eg lord nev, tonatopia (the first poster i ignored), curry and beer, matsuo basho, dee-luded (not to be confused with deeeluded, stuie (lord nev's intense first incarnation), osilik and uncle fester.

And a small handful of current posters.

How do you block a poster?

Serious question. can you do it on your phone?

One of my therapists recommended this to me

Go to setting and there is an ignore users option.

Used and recommended by binman.

No doubt JV did a little better this week than potentially was on the table 2 weeks ago...

But I'm wrapped, ❤️💙

I doubt it.

But if true, good on him.

I’m not going to reveal my sources, so don’t ask, but Christian did a tour of the Yarraville-Seddon Eagles facilities last week. He was very impressed by what he saw, including access to the Westgate, and public transport options on both the Werribee and Williamstown lines.

His reservations are parking around Anderson street, and the lack of blockbuster movies showing at The Sun cinema. He does however rate the cinemas Choc Tops.

And he doesn't get the whole 35mm thing.
