WOW! That was quick! 3 seconds ago I was reading this and then suddenly there is Barassi, Smith, Lyon etc etc. Love the new banner! Well done, Guys.

LOL! Found this amusing with 666 being known as the Devil's number! On a Demon's forum! Good work BB59

Our real Xmas present will be when the AFL announce (just before Christmas) that there was insufficient evidence to prove that players and coaches didn't try to win games. In colloquial speak...Melbourne did not tank!

Signs showing of CW insecurity re the talented Emma! CW quotes 'fairfax' when referring to EQ stories but in today's Age EQ not only quotes The Age she also credits CW with the Tippett story 2 years ago. Very generous given that when EQ broke the Crows breaches 6 weeks ago CW took over the running without a single reference to her erstwhile colleague. Reading between the lines suggests that CW 'pulls rank' on Emma in various ways! Emma is all class!

What was really offensive and distasteful was her reference to John McCarthy's death at an end of season bender in Vegas. How distressing for his family to read this, especially if no toxicology report has come back yet. Is she guessing? Is it a rumour? If either she should hand in her 'journo badge' or be sacked. Even if fact a tox report is confidential. How dare she take it upon herself to 'release' this. Even if not guessing, she has stooped to a new low. No respect shown.

WOW! We all have days when DL posters seem to have a contrary view but Pegasus, your posts on other topics show you are a real demon fan so hope you continue posting.

Before RDB and #31 there was a war and believe it or not, there was no televesion and few newspaers. News spread slowly. Romantics pre RDB therefore are very private, have passed away or don't follow DL but if they are still living you can bet they revere #31 and everything it stands for!

Dale Roberts! B)

Not sure he left only for money. He also left to coach and other issues happening at the time. But to answer your question: I love him because he was a champion and he played hard. He loved the Club his father played for. He still smarts and hurts over the 58 GF loss. He defends anonymous girls being beaten up by their boyfriend in the middle of the street. He still loves the Dees. He loves his heritage both family and football. I love him because he came home to the Dees. He is a champion footy player and a champion bloke. Not much else to say really.

Crikey! That Jose sure gets around!

Did Petterd, Bate, Cook, Bennell etc nominate for the draft? Didn't see ex Dees in the selections last night. Wish them well in finding a footy home in the other drafts.

Totally agree mt. In fact I find it offensive that anyone would compare Grimes and Scully in #31. Why let a scumbag define our respect for a # on our jumper...any #, any jumper.

But Jack's smile is genuine !

A demon through and through! Lucky us!

Great decision MFC. #31 deserves to be honoured again. Couldn't think of a better option than to give it to one of our captains. Jack will truly do it proud! I can see the 13th premiership cup being held high by #31.,,what a beautiful day that will be!

does anyone know when Rangey is due back? He must be chaffing at the bit to get back to DL.

my eyesight is failing dc!

and the short answer?

Watts = Brendon Goddard: # 1 draft pick; roaming from defence thru middle to forward to kick the odd goal Watts = Luke Hodge: #1 draft pick; running out of defence to set up mids and forwards Watts = Herd: ? draft pick who roamed the whole ground Jack is built like Herd, plays the same role as Goddard and can become a Hodge. Jack is elite. Just give him time and space folks.

Sorry Bossdog, it will never be just a number...too much emotion attached to it. Will always be deserving of great honour in my book. Can't allow HWSNBN sully a great legacy. BTW no pun intended with the word sully...altho I could write a gem of a poem with it about HWSNBN

We need to wait 90 years!!!***

Just being cheeky! The 'No BS No TS' thread just wouldn't be the same without bananas!

Bananas!

Having Finkelstein means our Christmas will come early! My logic: • AFL has no concrete evidence that will stand up in court. • The next AFL Commission meeting is in mid-Dec where they will hand down their findings...AFL won't want it to go into 2013. • Mid Dec is a perfect time to announce no sufficient evidence - no one will care what CW writes, KB says - all out celebrating. AFL will be relying on this to minimize airplay. Then we can happily get on with our own Xmas merriment and enjoy the Xmas turkey... ...ah turkey: that is both the edible kind and the turkey image the AFL will have tainted itself with!

...and that image of The BBF fading into the sunset will be a Xmas present for us DEE supporters.
