Dermott’s 2022 flag prediction
Queanbeyan Demon replied to FlashInThePan's topic in Melbourne Demons
Derm doesn't like us because we prevented Horethugs winning four premierships in a row. Definitely two of the best consecutive wins in the Deez modern history IMHO (up until 2021 anyway). -
I'm going with the after party. Anyone carrying Max around is working harder than my iPad after midnight.

The whole Pies thing is a grand ruse Jontee. Nev: I love this club, and you have been so good to me. How can I help us win two in a row? Goody: I have a project, but it's tough - not for everyone. But I think you're the man. Nev: Shoot. Goody: Go over to the Filth for 12 months. I want you to document in a dossier everything you hear, see and touch. Nev: Okay, but why? Goody: Then bring it back here at the end of 2022 when you take up the newly created position at the Demons of Adipati El Supremo Generalissimo of Football and Everything else. Nev: I see. Sounds good Coach. But what's with the dossier? Goody: Oh, yes, that. I will study it deeply. That way I'll know what Colinwood are up to and do everything the opposite here, and begin our run to the three-peat in 2023. Nev: You're a genius. This is going to be better fun than standing Dane Swan in 2014 and taking him apart. Thanks Goody.

Saturday Morning on Demonland (6)
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I've crappped on about Jeelong numerous times elsewhere on 'Land. Here's all you need to know about the numbskull thinking down there: 2021 Jeremy Cameron: 15 games, 39 goals, 16 behinds. Cost: Forfeited 15 years service of three good (possibly great) players. In the door: Holmes. 2021 BBB and TMac: 35 games, 58 goals, 35 behinds. Cost: Virtually free. In the door: Bowey. -
EVERY ANGLE: New look at Dees' flag-winning burst
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Richie Benno. "Marvellous effort that by young Oliver. I've never seen anything like this on any ground anywhere in the world. They're a very good team this Melbourne outfit, quite brilliant today. 22 very, very good players." -
We nailed the 1986 Draft...or did we?
Queanbeyan Demon replied to La Dee-vina Comedia's topic in Melbourne Demons
We've had some great no. 9, no. 9, no.9 no. 9, no. 9, no.9 no. 9, no. 9, no.9 no. 9, no. 9, no.9 no. 9, no. 9, no.9 no. 9, no. 9, no.9 ......... -
Did anyone happen to hear the interview on ABC radio today with Michael Byrne and how he was shipped out of Melbourne in 1982?

Hell . . . a few clubs had a complete and utter mare in the 2019 draft. Cameron Zurhaar in the rookie draft is looking like potentially a good pick.

Such a pity this nob-head (Zempiss) phukkked up the day. -
POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I watched the game again yesterday . . . do other people still shout at the tele even though the game was six weeks ago and you've watch it 50 times? My neighbours must be fed up. -
The one thing remaining to improve
Queanbeyan Demon replied to FlashInThePan's topic in Melbourne Demons
This has been commented on and researched ad infinitum by probably every club in Australia. There's a reason it hasn't improved and it's got very little to do with practicing goal kicking (particularly set shot goal kicking) given the current time constraints players have to get better at this skill versus the time required to improve. If it was simply a matter of practice, Nathan Buckley would have turned Cloke into the greatest forward of all time. I'm not saying it'll never improve, but any improvement will likely be incremental and occur over a long period of time, assuming there is no massive breakthrough in technology. There are a complex cluster of inputs that all need to work synchronistically together to even achieve minor improvement. One of those is practicing under conditions that simulate high-pressure scenarios, the role of fatigue in preparing to kick for goal and take into account the unique characteristics of different venues and whether conditions. Bring all these together in a practice environment, given the current evolution of the game, is practically impossible. -

If you or anyone else you know is having trouble with their #mentalhealth at the moment, you can self-refer to Demonland. -
I notice you don't mention umpiring 58er.

Saturday Morning on Demonland (5)
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Very easy question to answer . . . Bid up if it's any interstate club, Colinwood, Carltank, Horethorn, Essendrugs, Jeelong. All other clubs play fair. -
this is such a myth.

Burgess reveals secret to Dees' incredible injury-free run

Why are you on Demonland then? -

What about Geoff's departure though rpfc?
-
I just do not understand the lack of love for Bwiaaaan. He's articulate, super knowledgeable about the game, respectful of others - especially women and umpires, has a fine footy intellect, can easily discern the ebb and flow of the game, is partial to the Deez, thoughtfully considers comments before he opens him mouth, played for two great and respected clubs and behaves with dignity and love at all times.

I've changed 360 degrees on Daisy.

QD gets home after working the late shift. Opens 'Land to get an update on the biggest story of the off-season so far. GAWN! Decides to watch the replay of the granny for a change! -
Will a team improve enough to challenge us next year?
Queanbeyan Demon replied to WERRIDEE's topic in Melbourne Demons
The doormen told me Goody consults Demonland every Thursday prior to selecting the team. (Then does the opposite to all suggestions.) -

My Child . . . yes, you have indeed sinned. But all graceful 'Landers have mercy. For your penance: $1,000 to the poor box (i.e. North Melbourne charity cake stall fundraising drive in Feb 2022), 100 hours of volunteer work in the Collingwood finance department, Pray once a day for Horethorn's board, Never pray for Carlton, and Watch the 2021 GF replay at least once a week between now and when the AFLW season commences in 2022. Go in pease Child, your humility and honesty have saved you. Your sins are forgiven. Amen. -
Best Player to wear #31 since Ron Barassi.
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Fritta and Turner's topic in Melbourne Demons
Good post GTB. Tempo was easily the best Dog I've seen (didn't see Whitten at his best). Footscray were pretty crap in the late 1970's when he was at his best, so there's not a lot of footage of him (those were the dayz when only two games were fully covered for TV). Those that saw his 15 against St.Kilda from CHF say it's one of the all time great performances. Most of them were kicked from beyond 50. He actually had 24 shots for goal that day. The only CHF to win a Brownlow. Even on half a leg at Melbourne he still managed to kick an average of three a game, including 51 in a team that finished ninth in a 12 team competition. He went on to have a very respectable career as an administrator (Swans) and businessperson. Easily one of the most under-rated VFL/AFL players of all time.
