Queanbeyan Demon

I actually like it @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew. But don't tell other 'Landers that.

Recon it runs a distant second to Canberra though @Mel Bourne.

Melbourne in the 70's was atrocious. Hate to think what the 50's were like. Adelaide is appalling. (Sorry @Deemania since 56. Not aimed at you at all. I just recon Adelaide is pretty much the #%&# end of Australia.) And TS is my second favorite footballer at Melbourne after equal firsts Max, Mazie, Vines, Cho Cho, Kosi, Duke of Windsor, Trac and Salem.

Thank goodness for the (sometime) sane voices on 'Land. Cos the media haven't a clue.

We might have some holes and deficiencies, but not as many as 17 others.

Odd choice of words. We know what happened the last time something was put in front of him. I would have him on the interchange bench all season mentoring the young guns.

The AFL will act only when the $100,000,000 (minimum) law suit lands.

I did check @monoccular. Apparently 20.

Things have been much worse. We had 20 debut in 1896.

Looks hard doesn't he?

Loving both no.6 and @WalkingCivilWar.

FWIW - SEN are broadcasting the game. Josh Jenkins is on special comments.

who did he wind?

King's the one who should submit to out-of-season testing.

QD comes on to 'Land to grab the news on the Magoos today and is wondering if his computer has been hacked.

QD's top 10 players in the comp Gus* Max Clayton Trac Maysie Bont Kosi Vines Tommy Petty Sparrow 50-1 rest of the field. * Ineligible due to the ineptitude, incompetence and shamefulness of management.

Robbo hasn't a clue. You mean the best tall back in the comp isn't in the top 50 players in the game?

I can think of one word for SPP.

Angus Brayshaw has retired. How about calling it out for what it is? Assault and battery.

How is it no one's named Pedo?

Snake Baker in '77 was enormous. As was Wade in '75. Wade could barely move come September and was as good as dropped after the prelim. He pleaded with Brasso to play. They hatched a plan. Brasso said he could play as long as he stayed in the goal square and didn't fly for the ball. Kicked 4 and Norf win their first flag.

I suggest the club annually awards the Bradshaw Trophy in perpetuity to the individual who inflicts the most harm on the Filth in any 12-month period. In fact, let's get Stephen May to run through Maynard on KB and knock him into next week. We could then call it the Maysie-Brayshaw Trophy. Milkshake is the obvious choice as the inaugural chair of the three person panel that determines the award's recipient. Suggest Daisey and Danny Hughes (as the best player to wear the number 10 after Gus) complete the make-up of the inaugural panel. Should a panel member be indisposed for any reason, Carl Dietrich will be co-opted as a short-term replacement. When Maysie retires, the panel will be disbanded and the great man himself will be the sole determiner of the award.

Make no mistake, Norf are stacked with at least six up and coming A graders of which a couple will be superstars. I watch them most weeks with my Norf mate and barrack along with him. I'd be shocked if they do not play finals consistently from 2027 onward. And the good news is this . . . They'll win a premiership before Essenscum, Pork Barrel Park, Sh&^mond and Meth Coke do.

Melbourne is a shocking one hit wonder club. The premierships of 1900, 1926, 1939, 1948, and 2021 were just awful.

I'm so devastated I haven't been able to post for 24 hours on this. Angus is one of my all time fave Demons (and I've seen every Demon for the last 50 years). It's been a privilege to watch him over 10 years. Always fair, committed, courageous and a club-first player. A premiership star who could play anywhere from half-back to half-forward to mid-field and influence the outcomes of games. Never shirked a tough contest nor gave the Club grief - a model citizen on and off the field. His parents would be justifiably proud of their children. It'll take me years to get over this. Signing off with a tear in my eye. QD
