How many finals have they won in the last 8 years again?

No it is not. Demonland is the sacred realm where paranoia meets passion, and every preseason training update becomes a 50-page saga of hope, dread, and wild speculation. It’s where rumours run rampant, sometimes turning an off-hand comment from a boot-studder’s cousin into tomorrow’s headline. Double-speak thrives here as well, with phrases like, “They’re tracking well” secretly meaning “someone’s ankle is in six pieces.” In short, it’s where the heartbeat of the red and blue beats erratically, as any good Demon fan would have it

Great FIXture scheme of arrangement overall . . . SH for Trac's brand.

So am I . . . and that's the problem.

Brian Waldron as salary cap manager as the steak knives?

Not yet @Ugottobekidding. But I'm reliably informed that Tony Lockett has returned fitter than he's even been.

Are the board meeting today?

Bella should be our next captain.

So, the only head to roll was Pert's. Surprised.

Yeah - cos they just haven't been serious.

Do we actually have any facts available about the appointment to make a considered determination on the nature of the appointment? Asking for my friend.

We're making a massive assumption that they'll even be permitted to participate in the 2025 draft.

Pedo - you legend.

Wood love to c him get to 250 games.

Exactly. Carltank have already ordered x-large paper bags for the 2026 season.

Amazon Prime will snap up for a cool billion a year over 6 years.

The cost of living crisis is biting us all it seems.

Regarding Bob Murphy . . . hope he never coaches our midfield. A fart in the quarter time huddle is as risky as a Jack Viney handball in the backline. It could lead to a messy turnover.

Move on from what? I still haven't gotten over Jimmy running through the mark. And don't even start me on round 22, 1976.

Um . . . Parker is still in the top 300 players in the comp. You mean there's not a role in a side that finished well out of finals contention for that sort of a player who can play multiple roles? Judging Darling on his last two years at Wet Toast is ridiculous. Hudson would be battling to kick a goal with that mob. As a decoy for JVR, Disco, Jeffo Airoplane - he would have been fabulous.

I haven't the time right now to read the whole thread - but YTF we didn't chase Darling and Parker is totally beyond me. So many pluses and so few downsides to both of them.

Are we starting a grid iron team?

Not sure anyone is asking them to come at it.

That's called draft tampering and is accompanied by heavy sanctions if found guilty.

All good points @Macca. I must admit, I'm wondering why we didn't make a play for Jack Darling. Depending on price and cost, seems to me he could have taken some pressure off JVR and possibly even Jefferson Airplane if/when he's ready. (Cue moans and groans from the peanut gallery.)
