  1. Pedantic point: We beat them in Alice by 3 points in 2020 https://www.saints.com.au/matches/2859
  2. Any comment on the length of the last quarter? Wasn't it almost 40 minutes? There were a lot of goals kicked plus the stoppage when Spargo was taken off for a concussion test, but it still seemed excessive. What is the record for the longest quarter (barring lightning delays and power outages)? Ironically, if the quarter was a couple of minutes shorter, we would have won by more ...
  3. Demonland goes nuts? 😀
  4. That was a win for the ages! One thing that stood out to me was our attitude and intensity, especially in the last quarter. We left a few goals out there, for sure, but we kept at it with plenty of second, third and fourth efforts as required, and if a mistake was made, we just kept on going without dropping our heads. It reminded me of our best a few years ago, when the last quarter was always ours, mainly due to intensity, pressure and 1%ers. With some tidier skills (including better goal kicking), we are not too far away from our win over Brisbane in the Qualifying final in '21 (a stretch I know, but a Demon can dream!).
  5. Thanks. I am a little short on toilet paper :-)
  6. None of the following will be new to Dees fans, but the Melksham "incident" and related commentary gives me the irrits. Melksham goes for the ball, uses his body (not arms) and takes the mark. McGovern get bumped out of the way, and collides with Petty, who was dangerously pushed into the contest by Ginbey. But the West Coast parrots who pass for commentators reckon Melksham could be suspended? I was pleasantly suprised that Goody defended Melksham in the presser, and stated that he thought it was a mark to Melksham (ie not even a free kick) and that the reason for Petty's concussion needed to be equally scruntinised. What are your thoughts? And don't get me started on the high contact free and fifty to Viney which lead to a goal. Surely that is at least as worth of discussion? But of course it was a Melbourne player on the receiving end, so ... crickets.
  7. Expanding their evil empire presumably ...
  8. C'mon Bub, the answer is right there in your question ... Eddie McMouth only seems to chip in when it seems there is something in it for the filth ... 😀
  9. High impact, no contact, intensional means it is classified as a fine rather than a suspension. Defence arguement of great bloke, first offence and a very large bunch of credits in the bank was accepted, meaning that the fine of 10 banana smoothies is imposed, but suspended pending any further offence before the next Demons victory or the KB game against the filth (whichever comes first). Any further offence resulting in a resoundingly famous Demons victory will result in it becoming as compulsory to the podcast as the theme tune ...
  10. Sounds rather like a difficult contortion, especially when running at full pace ... 😀
  11. Some are also bananas about horses 😀
  12. A classic reason why we need a "chunder" emoji ... 😃

    Only if we get to put up a sign that says "Welcome to Hell" at the entrance ... :-)
  14. Sounds like he thinks he has seen a ghost (not unlikley on a forum decidated to demons) 😆
