Red and Bluebeard

dieter, it sound like your Dad is doing very well for someone of that age. I was at a family funeral last week (a cousin of my mother's) for someone of that age, and it was hard to feel cheated on behalf of someone who had lived so long. Age doesn't always bring perspective, but it seems to me that this football thing has always been crazy, and that we enjoy it all the more so because of that. But there do come times when the silliness and froth of it all are laid bare, and it all just seem too trivial for words. Best wishes to you and your family,.

Good taste?

Of course!

A perfect attribute for a Demon-supporting 'droid ...

Of course. He wouldn't make it into this thread otherwise!

Not sure this guy will help much, OD ...

Latest rule change OD ... :-)

Watching the Dees kick for goal will fix that!

All good OD. I sort of lost interest in following the Dees last year, and have only had my enthusiasm renewed by the new season and the prospect of witnessing a game in person (and the first one at the 'G, and on a Saturday afternoon, which is like a siren call to me). I understand the desire to stay safe at home and out of the way of the Virus-that-shall-not-be-named. That bloody thing is more infectious than the Dee's inability to kick straight ...

Hard but not impossible .... it is a long way to the 'G for you though DF!

So who is going to the game this weekend (you know, that thing we do when we are not obsessing about bananas ... ??)

Hope you are up and about again soon, DF. Same goes for the Dees, I guess!

You could say it is part of our evolution as a club ... ?

Good thanks OD. Just been out of the Demonland habit this year .... How are you?

Stick to whiskey then ...

If Marty does the same thing in the last minute of the last game of the year, then we will all be happy ... ?

Isn't every day Banana Day?

True, but given the amount of awful footy that I have witnessed, it is always better to win with awful footy than to be beaten by less than a kick having played great footy. Anyway, back to bananas ...

Gotta savour what you can get when you can get it, OD!

There is no such thing as a bad win, especially over the Hawks!

Limitations don't apply to this thread. Evidence: 8 years worth of posts and more than 2^10 pages ...

I watched the first quarter with the sound on, which is about a quarter more than usual, and then turned the sound off until the last couple of minutes. Much better way to watch the footy than to listen to the inane prattle that passes for commentary.

Moses going to part the red-and-blue sea and lead us to the Promised Land? I like it, BB ... ??

More than Jesse Hogan? (who?)

It was Gough yelling in response to a member of then then Country Party, probably Doug Anthony, IIRC.
