Just do the opposite to what Cornes wants and the rule will be fine.

Best team from the last 125 years
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Queanbeyan Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
What? Not Ray Biffen? -
In 2000, the Melbourne Football Club named its team of the 20th Century. If we were to name the Club's best team since the inception of the VFL (i.e. 1896), who makes the side? Here is the 2000 team. Melbourne Team of the Century B: John Beckwith Tassie Johnson Don Cordner HB: Noel McMahen Gary Hardeman Don Williams C: Brian Dixon Allan La Fontaine Robert Flower HF: Hassa Mann Ivor Warne-Smith Garry Lyon F: Jack Mueller Norm Smith Percy Beames Foll: Denis Cordner Ron Barassi (Captain) Stuart Spencer Int: Frank Adams Albert Chadwick Wally Lock Laurie Mithen Jim Stynes Todd Viney Coach: Norm Smith Stan Alves, Ian Ridley, Bob Johnson and Greg Wells were all named as emergencies.

To be fair on Beaconsfield, they had their season cancelled, their best player (Hulk Harrahan) did her groin in round three, and in the rounds that were completed, the maggots killed 'em.

happy four week anniversary everyone. -
There would hardly be an Olympic gold medalist that didn't train on Xmas day. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Interviewer: what separates the really good players from the champions? Paul Roos: The champions train on Xmas day. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Saturday Morning on Demonland (3)
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Q) How well were the Demons equipped to take on the other teams had they played in a final series in October 2020? A) 2021 should have been our second in a row. -
If I'm the Dogs, I recon I'm loving this draw.

They'd be a lot worse appointments that could be made. -
Trackta.

The only thing surprising about this Bing181 is how surprised you are. It's De Going Nowhere for goodness sake. Exactly the sort of dumb thing he would do.

Let’s play the Poos. For the last 15 years, there’s been something weirdly satisfying about watching Carlton have their hopes, dreams and expectations extinguished on the first day of the season. Let this not be another tradition that is trashed.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Run into a Carlton supporter today. Said "g'day mate". He paid a backhanded complement about our win. I said "it's our third anniversary today". "What?", he says. I say, "three weeks since we won a flag". He says something about having to wait another 57 for the next flag. I said, "and it's also only 49 weeks to go". Again, he says "what?". I said, 49 weeks until our 14th. He didn't like it at all. -
POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs

Something similar happened to me WCW at the '87 Prelim. The Phukkenara 15 metre penalty happened right in front of me. I had that experience where everything slows down. Like being in a car accident. I knew I was watching a monumental cluster-phukk that would haunt me for the rest of time and there was nothing I could do to stop it. But at the same time, I was also in denial . . . "no this is not happening . . . they can't take this game, and a place in the granny, away from us. No, noooooooo". As the players ran off the ground I was just sitting in my seat - shocked. Then I thought, I'll turn on the radio . . . 3LO that day. Peter Booth was broadcasting and was talking from the Melbourne room. Something like, "there's a lot of noise and confusion down here . . . people are shouting and screaming." I remember thinking, and totally believing, there's been a mistake. The VFL will reverse the result. At worst, they'll come out and play the last few minutes again. I can't go home . . . the game's not over yet". I only officially got over the trauma of that day three weeks ago. -
Give Tracktor two numbers . . . he's that good.

Jeelong win at Jeelong because they have good players, and they generally play well on a soccer field against weak opposition. Has always been thus and don't worry, the worm will turn.

Def worth a look. Then put him back on the shelf and move on.

It would be the first story the CT has broken in about 20 years.

Hawks on the Slide: How Mitchell is making life hard for himself
Queanbeyan Demon replied to rpfc's topic in Melbourne Demons
Scene: Round 20, 2022, Horethorn vs. Suns. Horethorn down by a goal at three quarter time. Need to win to avoid the wooden spoon. Mitchell: "Right boys, we're in this. I just need one more quarter of commitment, blood and guts. Run your hardest and tackle like you've never tackled before. Go in, head first if you must . . . commit to the contest and put your team mates before all else. Can I count on yous all?" Wingard under his breath to O'Meara: "Yeah, nah." -

By my reckoning, that was about our eighth since '64. -
The Demons next 300+ game players?
Queanbeyan Demon replied to Supreme_Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Christian and Clayton will be forever young in my head. It'll always be 2021 and they'll be cutting a swath through opposition teams like a hot knife through butter for eons to come. Up in heaven, where joy reigns, there's already a big screen playing their highlight reel. 10,000 games each. -
Trak won't let him leave.

The question is, how many of the other 43 would get a game at Melbourne based on our exposed form in September?
