Tarax Club

D'mania would that be the original Pantheon concrete or is it James Harmes struggling in the 'Gabba glue with 'concrete boots' late in the game?

Erratum: Honourable mentions; Harrison Petty Steven May Ben Brown

6 Angus Brayshaw 5 Jake Melksham 4 Max Gawn 3 Clayton Oliver 2 Jack Viney 1 Jayden Hunt Honourable mentions; Kysaiah Pickett Christian Salem Adjudication; Despite the disparity of free kicks. forward fifty free kicks favoured the Blues. These are 'gold tickets' in close games. Fortunately Carlton's forwards couldn't deliver. Broadcasters; Back to plan B contenders triumph pretenders sent packing. Overall Comment; Cathartic and season defining

Was that a straight left jab or a right cross?

Jayden Hunt and Jake Melksham = Demon Spirit NEVER SAY DIE

No Tommy Alvin warming up in the rooms prior to the ‘94 Qualifying Final.

Those Blu bag appropriators deserve to be excoriated, excommunicated and exorcised before burial in the sacred MCG turf LITD.

S.W.M.B.obeyed has dictated the venue for tonight's viewing is at 'Silks'. Currently running at a bust,* Dees 0 Oppo 2 Prayer will help. Apparently...

Joeboy - well balanced summation

Pies about to drink their own bath water.

Wasn’t that the erstwhile clothing manufacturer Fletcher & Jones? Still have a FJ ‘Reefer’ jacket sitting in the wardrobe. Sadly gets no use in the top end. Thongs, boardies and tees emblazoned with sponsors names are considered the ‘height’ of fashion up here.

From fracking back in day to MCC membership. No wardrobe change required. Remarkable!

Maldonboy38 on another thread summed up the Selwood celebration succinctly, showing due respect for his long reign as a champion footballer. But correctly questioned the Selwood legacy as being flawed due to his poor sportsmanship and chronic propensity for 'plaint. The fatuous ‘warrior’ mythology spouted by a Fox Sports promo was debunked immediately by the very definition provided. Duckwood clearly doesn’t measure up. But the ‘heroic’ visuals of copious releases of blood 🩸 from the captain’s ‘battlefield engagements’ recall a darker more decadent past. Sleepy old Geelong on the Bay, reminiscent of Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast. Is redolent of Bram Stoker’s old haunts set anew in the Antipodes. GBH stadium despite copious tax dollars spent resembles a faux-translyvanian architectural fantasy. Suitably doomed by its deformed dimensions. It is is referred to locally as “Castle Dracula” by the cretins that habitually inhabit the ‘bleachers’ at home games. In response to the eternal question; How Jeerlong stays competitive? This mob’s long reign as finalists without the fulfilment of a premiership cup' is akin to a the theme of dissolution in the movie Interview with a Vampire. Lestat (Selwood) offers Louis (Dangerfield) to transform from a crow to a vampire cat in the vain hope of premiership glory. Which appears almost tangible but remains elusive. Any transfusion of youth is like turning troubled talent like Tyson Stengle (Kirsten Dunst) into a vampire pussycat. Which brings to mind another question. Where does Chris Scott fit in the bigger picture?

Jayden Hunt - not too shabby

Fire 🔥 Up Demons!

To be ‘Frank’ minus the party pooper the sentiment here had been entirely positive . We’re blessed to have so many worthy individuals, both quality footballers and champion blokes at MFC at this time. Angus Brayshaw is one. NID IMHO

Apologies feelings are running very high tonight

joeboy - Joeboy you win(ge)

22 to 13 TKO

WCW assuming this 'centrefold' was an exclusive from Cleo back in the day? Pleased to see Ita Buttrose maintaining strict editorial control, by making sure all the 'bits' were well tucked in!

Round 19 Demons v Dogs. Much as Heracles made atonement, Jason sought redemption and Odysseus's long journey home. The Dees have a series of "labours' decreed by Zeus 'Gill' from on high Mt. Olympus AFL house. The Vemeon Bris'Vegas' Lions dealt with (away from home). Cyclops 'Tom Hawkins' (bruising first encounter decider in September). Stymphalian Birds 'Magpies' and Laestrygonians 'Lygon Street' Lotus-Eaters await reality readjustment at the 'G'. Dockers it seems will be on the first ship attempting Gibraltar shame about the avalanche. After consulting the Oracles at Demonworld. Tonight's challenge; Cereberus, the three headed dog (Bontempelli, Noughton and Daniels) . Dog's aforementioned 'canines' mere mortals on kennel leave or restrained. Doggies appear to be the hired help, like security? Demon’s all ground defense to take a stranglehold.

At 5:00pm Alice Springs 22.9*C Humidity < 10% Darwin a pleasant dry season afternoon of 25.0*C Humidity 38% not uncomfortable considering 1500 km further North and given maritime rather than continental influence. But a world away from chilly Melbourne.

Sparrow - got hands dirty Jordon - workmanlike improve delivery Jackson - road to redemption Bedford - minimal opportunity given Melksham - confounded critics soundly Harmes Joeboy - Hit or miss

6 Kysaiah Pickett 5 Jack Viney 4 Christian Petracca 3 Tom Sparrow 2 Ed Langdon 1 Michael Hibberd Honourable mentions; Adam Tomlinson Jake Melksham James Harmes Luke Jackson Alex Neal-Bullen Charlie Spargo Ben Brown Bayley Fritsch Adjudication; No real complaints. Charlie Dixon gets J C Williamson award for 'milking' a 50 metre penalty goal. "Hard" man with "soft" hands. Broadcast; Pleased to hear BT's repeated references to the 'Big Tree' it is well on the way to being adopted as part of the AFL dreaming. Thank Jove the live ladder was dropped for the last quarter and FOX footy's Kelly Underwood being 'anchored' in the South Yarra studio. Opposition hyperbole watch; Powell-Pepper sprayed the goal front like an old tom. Desperately needs the Kossie implant. Overall comment; Port have improved significantly since earlier in the season. Almost a full compliment of players many in good form. Provided a seriously competitive match. Hopefully our boys will be battle hardened by September. Moggies meanwhile are aging and getting it soft.
