I predicted this loss when the fixture came out and had not changed my view.

On the way to the game we were discussing what could happen and it did.

Then to hear Roos say some players were tired, in round 2,  is just the biggest cop out of all time.

Show some character and say we coached terribly and the players played the same.

I am more angry at yesterday than 186.

We have dumb coaches and dumb and lazy footballers.

    There was no offer. If you think Demonland resembles anything at all to do with the real world then I would not come back from the walk champ.

    Don't be like that stuie. If your feelings are hurt because I rejected the offer to meet up for a beer, then I sincerely apologise. Your defensiveness is understandable, but the rudeness is unbecoming a man of your high standing on this forum.

    Cliches as always.

    Offered you a truce because I'm sick of the rubbish on here.

    Says a lot that you were too "internet cool" for it. Jog on parrot, not interested in your web battles.

    I know a lot of old bastards post here so I'm looking for some info. Is it still possible to buy old style desert boots? ( Brothel creepers in some circles) Poor old Uncle Bitter is a tad footsore of late and I used to find these rather comfortable. I don't think they'll clash with estate moleskins and Drizabone - I'm going for a more macho look (sans designer stubble of course) at the moment.

    I have several worn pairs, the downside (or possibly upside for you BBO) is they each potentially have urine, blood and arabic sand in and on them. If you purchase today I can also throw in some socks, do you have fabric softener?

    That is a hammering for us, OD ... :lol::)

    Just a hiccup on the road to ten wins R and B.

    We believed our own BS and got caught out.

    I have one Criticism from Saturday well two actually.

    Dunn is always in our side if Fit and The Prince is passed it. The game has passed him by.

    We won't win next week never thought we would the trick will be to go into the game with intent something we did not do on Saturday.

    That way we can make a game of it.

    I always knew you were a decent chap Ethan. Rather than being tawdry and mentioning cash I propose an exchange. I have some wonderfully stained undergarments that may be to your taste and would more than compensate for the loss of the brothel creepers.

    In order to allay any concerns you have Doctor, feel free to scrutinise my undergarments for authenticity.

    Are you saying that you are unhappy with products you have purchased from our Uncle Bitter?

    Questionable business practices are more the domain of the esteemed Biffen.

    The original Brothel creepers are still produced by Rossiters.

    Most reputable footwear retailers will stock them or be able to source them for you.

    At the risk of being embroiled in "questionable business practices"

    I have size 5 and 6 in black @ $147.00 and a range of Slatters Ripples in Stone (a light beige) @$99

    but would require a fitting at the shop in Beechworth.

    If you wanted to expand your wine tasting experiences and retreat to Beechworth would be happy to meet.

    We are remote enough from Melbourne that the bitter sting of defeat by Essendon can be diluted.

    As long as they would fit a male with waist size of around 34, you have a deal.

    After that effort on Saturday, perhaps discussion on under garments and desert boots will put my mind at rest.

    I wore desert boots to school back in the time. Comfortable and they were pretty handy kicking the footy after being worn in.

    Did they come with one or two scoops of vanilla ice cream?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
