Red and Bluebeard

Must make it hard to type ...

Not long home from the game. A good second half, with lots of spirit, especially given the same old horrors of the second quarter. I was sitting about two rows in front of Russell Howcroft, and about six rows back from the spot where Howie took the hanger that was out on the full. Saw Wonna talking to Dom Barry at half time, and towards the end of the game noticed that most of the non-playing Demons were seated nearby, including Joel MacDonald. Nice to see Flash run down Adam Cooney in the last quarter -- a `Flashback' you could say. It was easily the best atmosphere of any Demons game I have been to in the past few years. When we learn to use the ball better and get some poise under pressure, it will be a different team. It was no coincidence that we looked very good when running the ball out of defense and backing ourselves, rather than stuffing around, second-guessing, and taking the third or fourth option. Surreal ... goodbye and good riddance to season 2013, but the last two quarters were by far our best for a long time. Hope is kindled ...

Whoa! Never seen a red and blue frog before ...

And how big the bananas are ... PS what is with the change of avatar? Aren't you a frog anymore?

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God ...

Midfielders?

No - you would claim that the bananas were bought in Mexico by a muscular dystrophy sufferer, and he gave them to you for a snack once he didn't want them anymore. Anyway, you signed a waiver saying that Con the Fruiterer told you it was all ok, but the records stating the date you ate the bananas, how many there were and what condition they were in were eaten by passing dog, so there is no proof that you actually ate any bananas at all, even if they were found in your possession, and despite the fact that you have been having injections of fruit-based substances which were only ever vitamins, despite being secretly injected over the road from your doctor in a secure room with no cameras ... What's that song? Ah ... "Yes, we have no bananas ... "

Welcome back, DC. The ghost who walks rides again :-)

So their hearts beat true, and they'll never walk al8one? :-)

She has made a good choice of father-in-law!

Hope it is great occasion, Redleg. A Demonland social function will always run a distant second!

An admirable show of faith, BBO. Pity about the result, but the boys did respond with their lowest losing margin of the year. Gotta count for something, I guess, such as it is this year...

I thought they were North's mascot for a minute. Might put me off banana cake for a few hours.... :-)

Whoa! Sounds like too much information to me!

Sounds like a chocolate, or perhaps a biscuit ... :-)

A sign outside saying "Diet banana cake swap meet"? And another saying "The foxes went *that* way" for the alpacas? We could also just ask everyone to sing 'Its a grand old flag' in public, as you would have to be true red-and-blue or certifiable or both to do that ...

No alpacas, though ... :-)

Great idea, Redleg. We could also discuss how the boys are training the house down under the new coach ... :-)

I thought it was the number of slices of banana cake to be consumed by the end of the season ...

Glad to hear it was a good trip, OD. I am a native of Bendigo myself, but left when I was a baby, and have no connection there now. Should auld acquaintance be forgot .... (dimly recalls singing that in the distant past :-))

He'd be better off with a rather large banana smoothie ...

For me its like banana cake ...

All the best, DC. Hope it goes well, and you come back here better than ever.

Glad to hear you are alright, OD. Certainly puts things in perspective. Good omen, I guess, as it seems that luck is on your side on the things that count.

That's the spirit! The Dees certainly provided the hell on the weekend ...
