Winners at last

I have followed the Demons since 1968. 48 years. No premierships. And TBH, none likely in the next few years. MFC member for years. AFL set up a brand new club. Concessions + concessions. GWS may well win the flag this year. In their fifth freakin year!! Or if not this year, within the next 2. Long suffering and loyal supporters of Melbourne, Footscray + St Kilda haven't seen a flag for 60 years +. (Or, depending on age, not at all.) A manufactured team is likely to win one within 5 - 7 years of its inception/creation. Something about all this doesn't seem quite right.

Somewhat ironic that 4 players were nominated for Rising star, and he wasn't one of them!!

Eeeek!! I think I just did a little sick in my mouth.

It's got worse than that. My son (born 1993) was offered restricted membership at age 15 or 16. My thirdborn (born 1998) was just offered that wanky Provisional Membership recently, at age 18. She won't be offered restricted membership until she's 20, or more likely 21. The wait for full membership after restricted membership will be (another) 20 years. Back in the day, I was on waiting list for about 9 years before becoming a restricted member, and about another 10 or so years for full membership.

It's an awful admission, but I was actually barracking for the filth today. I would have loved to see the poos/wees drop out of the top 4.

I thought the same thing. Had a lucky year with injuries. Certainly can't expect that every year.

Geelong must be regretting letting S. Johnston go. He's the icing on the cake for GWS.

Patton could be the dominant forward in the finals.

It will be carnage.

EXCUSE ME!!! There is only one Bingers .... and that's me!!!

Like most others I don't like Harvey. Nor Firito. Fairly indifferent towards Petrie. Del Santo seems like an OK bloke. I hate Norf. I presume they will lose during the first week of the finals. Terrible way to deal with these players though; looks like "taking out the trash"!!

The team certainly carried out those instructions well!!!

Like everyone else, I love Jacky. But he won't be captain. I doubt that he'd even want the job.

From chocolates to boiled lollies

One thing that has scarcely be mentioned on this forum is the relatively low number of injuries this year. Perhaps I shouldn't?

He's cooked.

I was there too.

I fine you $300 for apostophe abuse. (Pronouns do have apostrophes.) Send me a PM; I will respond with bank account details for payment of the fine.

Has anyone been able to find that lid?

They are actually mine. Please send me a private message.

But he hit that sniper Mitchell, so perhaps that will reduce the penalty?

Fifty-5 Posted 21 hours ago · Report post It's great that Oscar has started playing well, thanks to all the advice from Demonland to how hw should go about it. A bit like Jack Watts really. mauriesy, DemonDave, monoccular and 18 others like this Like this Quote ______________________________________________________________________ Potting Oscar after 2 or 3 games was just ridiculous. Reserve judgment for a couple of seasons (and preseasons). I love Jacky, but it has to said that he really only came good this year (his eighth season).

Oliver = Voss (Michael, not his brother)

He should watch (and emulate) Jacky!!

Martin Flanagan is a friend of a friend. i sat with him at the first Saints match this year. He's a ripping bloke and a great writer. He really likes the Demons.
