That Lachie Neale fellow is better than I thought. Apparently won the Dally M award last year, too.

Flying the flag
This is the most enjoyable thread on Demonland. Warms the heart. (And for which other teams would there also be spelling tips politely included?)

Joel Smith Hamstring
Probably not the right time to point out that A TORN HAMSTRING! is an anagram of SMITH...GROAN...RANT!

Night Grand Final 2021
Let me help...we've never lost a Perth Grand Final, irrespective of the time slot.

My apologies to Demonland and Dion di Mucci, who I had incorrectly consigned to another world. (I wonder why?) Indeed, there are five people on the cover of Sgt Peppers who are still with us: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dion Di Mucci, Larry Bell and Bob Dylan.

And there's a member of the current Geelong team who played last weekend who could get a game in this side, too.

Demonstone's Tantalising Tuesday Time-Waster
To keep the quiz theme going, go back to the magnificent cover of Sgt Peppers. There are four people in that artwork who are still alive. Who are they? I'll give you two of them...Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr (both there twice). So, who are the other two?

Did someone say Animals? As it happens, on this week (and for the next three) in 1964, the number 1 song in the charts was House of the Rising Sun by Eric Burdon and the Animals. If that's not an omen, I don't know what is!

Have the first sentence for the Prelim and finish with the second sentence on Grand Final Day.

Lever....... The culture shifter
Agree with your point about Lever, but I'm not convinced Jones, Oliver, Petracca or Viney are leadership material. That's not intended to be disrespectful, but while each shows high qualities on the football field, I don't get the sense that any of them have the necessary tools to be leaders. And that's OK. Not everyone is born to lead.

Prelim Final Statistical Indicator
Completely agree. I also believe the bye destroys the end-of-season momentum for footy fans. Particularly those whose teams haven't made the eight. By the time of the first final, many of those supporters have completely lost interest in what happens.

Most of these will work OK. I like this one: "Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-
Prelim Final Statistical Indicator
Based purely on the data in the opening post, I'm confident the AFL will bring back the pre-finals bye next year to create more tension in the finals series. If the Qualifying Finals' winners overwhelmingly keep winning Preliminary Finals, there's not a lot of point in having the semi-final contests.

Teague Sacked
The way Carlton is managing the "process" for getting a new coach, I wouldn't at all be surprised to find out that they've appointed this Nathan Buckley by mistake.

Teague Sacked
My guess is that it's not the selection process that's troubling Lyon. I presume he's concerned about the reason for the shift in thinking which suggests there are people on the Board who don't want him. If I were Lyon, I wouldn't want to coach any club that didn't have unanimous Board support for my appointment. I think he's been wise to avoid a fractured club.

COVID & AFL 2021
You must interpret this sentence differently from me. It's from the Australian Government's website (health.gov.au) " The vaccine will protect a person who receives it by lowering their chances of getting COVID-19 if they encounter the coronavirus"
-
COVID & AFL 2021
Are you confident this is correct? Are you sure it's not more accurate to say that "Vaccines do not prevent all people from getting or spreading the virus"? In other words, don't these vaccines work by reducing the number - quite significantly - of people who will catch and spread the virus?
-
COVID & AFL 2021
I still don't understand the argument that stopping someone who is not vaccinated from participating in an event, such as attending the football, infringes on their rights. How is it different from requiring people to be X-rayed before they fly?
