The random thoughts thread

[Supermercado]

.. for when you have something to say but no good reason to say it. Kind of like being on Twitter (that's @demonblog if you're keeping score)

Anyway, on with the show.

How strange will it seem to call Queen's Birthday "King's Birthday" when Queen Elizabeth dies? I can't cope with having to fire up for a big King's Birthday clash against the Pies.

That is all.

I got a puppy last night. She's no good at football. Looks like I might have to forego being the owner of the second spaniel cross* to play for the Demons and just have kids instead.





*the first one being Brett Lovett

Epic. My friend messaged me in Spanish once so to be smart I thought I'd look up some Spanish. The site I gave had "My hovercraft is full of eels" as one of the key phrases so I of course used it.

It seems like only yesterday that I was down at Casey Fields for the practice match against the Bulldogs. We lost in the end but showed some good signs. I remember being ignorantly excited for the year ahead

Has anyone else seen info/docos about the German cannibal who searched and found his victim over the net who willingly went along with it? It was from early this decade.

I watched Silence of the Lambs again and that led me to wikipediaing canniballism.

18k would be an unbelievable result.

With this weather, we might be struggling to get 10k there.

Where I live, 20mins from the 'G'. There is not a cloud in the sky and the sun is shining down. Still a little bit windy but better conditions. Melbourne weather ey. Is Watts playing today?

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Seems not by the look of things mate.

Incidentally everyone, I suspect I won't be on the Bay again at least for a while, given the latest events that have unfolded - the way at least one mod in particular carries on there is farcical...

 

[melbournemartin]

What happened Wona? I have heard rumblings but no details.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Just dropped you a PM about these things mate...

Random stats...

- Our last 10 wins have been against sides that didn't make the finals (assuming Port stay where they are). Last time we beat a finalist was in Round 11, 2007 against Collingwood (who finished sixth).

- 15 of our last 16 wins have been at the MCG. The only win at another venue during that streak was against the Bulldogs at Telstra Dome in Round 19, 2007.

- Our longest losing streaks in recent years have been 10 (Semi Final '06 - Round 9 '07), 9 (Round 5 '09 - Round 13 '09) and 7 (Round 13 '05 - Round 19 '05).

- We've won the last four Round 14 encounters in a row. Look out whoever plays us next year in that round.
