Queanbeyan Demon

I was just looking at the Sweeney post above. They mention 7 (?) players - only two that I know.

Outside of waterboy and mcgovernment - i haven't heard of any of them.

I suggest you get a phd in dolphin language before embarking on anything harder @At the break of Gawn.

Hibba played 34 games in the VFL b4 playing senior footy.

Nope - not what I hear at all.

Other @ChaserJ

Are you talking about Milkshake or Biden?

My mail on Waterman is caveat emptor.

I was fortunate enough to have a 30 minute convo with Clyde at a granny breakfast a few years ago. What a lovely man. And a Demon through and through. Goody had just taken over from Roosy and he was very bullish on the Dees. Really knew his football - good footy brain as they say. He also loved Brasso like a brother and said our success in the 50's and 60's had much to do with Ron's drive and desire to win at all costs. He also loved Norm. Roost 'em from the Smoker's stand flank Clyde - and may the umpshires wave two flags in your direction forever more. Lov ya Man.

You know down at Glenferrie in the 80's they had gold taps in the bathrooms @Little Goffy? Me mate and I call Horethorn 'Gold Taps Grove'.

Its got to be said, and I understand it's probably not intentional, but this is turning out to be the thread of the week.

When have so many non sequiturs appeared in the one post? Maybe the Man in the Manor?

Hey @monoccular. I should have been clearer. I meant the comment by way of comparison (e.g. Nicodemus). Sort of like using comparators such as could have been mistaken for Yes Minister or feels like a scene out of a Monty Python skit.

Some predicted pre-season that they would rise significantly. But your point is well made @Bring-Back-Powell. I didn't think the Deez would implode to the extent we have done.

Another coupla goals - Horethorn jump on top of us.

Maybe the 'Land mods are a little like the umps @Clintosaurus. Ya know - rule of the week type approach. This week must be the 'let the facts creep in' week.

When did introducing facts into an absurd discussion become a thing on 'Land?

There's a few of our blokes that need to get Frita's hair dresser's number.

The only one with elite hands is Richo himself @WalkingCivilWar. Hope he uses a shed load of moisturizer.

This is a term I find bothersome @Cranky Franky. I think it arrived in the lexicon courtesy of that footy stats mob. It's pretty meaningless I think. For example, how does Callen Wilkie, who is probably ranked elite by footy central, make the AA side ahead of May last year? And how does the big sook Harris Andrews get a game in front of May? Since the retirement of Rance, May has been the outstanding backman in the game. He's stood the best, and beaten them, for the last six years.

Yeah - the clear miss is Cripps. Nine other clubs missed on him too. A senior recruiter from another club once told me that every other club would have taken Jack Watts at either one or two. The draft is part science, part Russian roulette. Sometime the barrel is loaded - sometimes it's not.

I'm surprised they knew how to write '100'.

Ch$t Kilda have had a messiah complex for 50 years. Ross is just another one in the conga line of false prophets.

How many acres of farmland is he receiving OTB, and At the end of his career, I bet 2024 ends up being the standout year.

Not sure you can count @adonski. Four home and away games plus four finals equals eight games. Having said that, Maynard and I went to the same school, so mercy and counting are not our strong suites.
