Love to be there for the season opener NSFM. Sadly the reality bus is broken down in Neeld’s garage so travel is off. But will be cheering at a square box. Intend on ‘dismantling’ a chilled Guinness to celebrate the Demons delivering in darts against the desperate dockers.

Just keep a sharp lookout for the trolls and wear your face mask. All will be well.

SP (book this in) Really stepping out on a limb here. After some careful consideration of the coffee grounds. Toby Bedford "outside run and creativity is the new imperative" SG WB (Jack Watts Perpetual Trophy) To be closely contested between two already 'popular' crowd favourites on the DL boards. J. Milkshake and Gussyshaw

Given the available evidence that may be a valid scientific insight. According Newton’s Third Law of Motion ‘For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’ As he bestrode Earth he has created space for others hence Angus Air. Which may explain the praise of almost mythic proportion some posters ascribe to Comet Noir’s appearance at Casey Fields. Majak it appears is a force of nature to be reckoned with.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MAJAK DAW
Tarax Club replied to Lord Nev's topic in Melbourne Demons
A glimmer of the old master’s prose returns to be snuffed out some sub-shakespearean pessimism. Where is the optimism of younger men, surely the Sun also rises? -

AFLW: Rd 03 vs North Melbourne
Tarax Club replied to Demonland's topic in AFL National Women's League
Correct OD, currently down in Chairman Dan’s Greater Victoria ‘enjoying’ NT border shutdown and the lockdown. Top dees win has boosted the feeling of solidarity with the local chapter of the DL fraternity fortunately. -

Demon sheilas’s side have-indomitable spirit and will to win in spades. Can it be bottled and intravenously drip feed to the blokes? -

Was that the DL ‘drone’ mysteriously hovering high above the goal mouth? If so we await the release of some bird’s eye downfield covert footage! Strictly ? of course... -
So a pandemic of highly contagious panic has now set in? The faith healers have appeared. It will be a relief when the vaccine is released.

No intention of stepping on anyone's toes but the backwash is almost palpable...

He was a panel member of the ABC TV Footy Show with Doug Heywood. Essential viewing for the well informed young footy fraternity. ps. caption of photo in Age article is incorrect. Percy Beames is standing sixth from the left.

"Ossie" Osborne as a footballer was more at the 'Hey Hey its Saturday' end of the ability spectrum. Back in the day was annually 'conscripted' to attend footy at the 'G' with a school mate, a mad tiggers fan, for the Demons v Tigers clash. Usually seated high in the old Olympic stand, it was not a 'fun' Saturday afternoon, as Richmond post Len Smith were stacked with people like Francis Burke, Royce Hart, Kevins Bartlett & Sheedy etc. Recall one match where # 7 playing across the half-back line, valiantly attempting to fly the flag, left his man to intercept a kick. The unpredictable bounce of the footy meant the ball flew over the head of the on rushing GO. Predictably the tiggers scored an easy goal. My school "mate" had an annoying habit of delivering a sharp dig with his elbow to my ribs after each goal, you can say like my footy team your correspondent was often on 'the receiving end'. Fortunately, "La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid", the following season the tiggers as the reigning premiers were not faring so well. Come round 19 August 8th, a typically cold winter's day. Tigers were expected to comfortably account for the lowly placed Demons and keep their chances of September action alive, but that afternoon we were simply irrepressible, including a six goals to one in third quarter. Final scores Dees 18.10.118 v Tigers 9.10.64 A most memorable home and away victory in seemingly bleak bygone days. Some players already mentioned in this thread were worthy contributors, including Peter Weekes with three goals. Do recall during that dim era, Graeme Osborne having one day out when it all came together for him. Played like a champion. ps. my school mate's ribs did get a deservedly thorough sharpish digging.

At a previously held pre-season time trial... -
To be fair the 'young bloke' has done a more than competent job with the stills from today's training session. Some very well taken and creative image making is on display.

From the minuscule scraps the club media department are feeding supporters; some speculative pre-season conjecture. Tom Petty still in rehab? #19 has a decent frame.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Tarax Club replied to Dee tention's topic in Melbourne Demons
That claim may raise the hackles of some resident DL sandgroper anglophiles demonstone. Believe Captain William Dampier's party toured the West the previous century. Apparently not as controversial as bodyline but he did let a few bumpers go. -

Image captured on Wednesday, probably needs Vagg's surveillance device from the DL drone to sharpen it, but it 'appears' that there were a couple of bystanders on the cyclone fence. -

More likely failed to launch and still on the ground. -
Curious? Was Phil's full moniker Philip Hamilton Rhoden? Believe there was a previous thread on demonland regarding that 'gentleman's' professional activities.
