Think DL could turn really feral if we lose to the Saints:

My main concern for the game is how well Max recovers from watching the Giro D'Italia final competitive stage last night.

Plus there's the let-down of commuting through the dreary 'sameness without theme' of an Australian city after watching the landscape of Northern Italy go past for five hours.

Hopefully it manifests in anger. A real 'I will create something beautiful today and nothing will stop me' moment.

I see this post arrived below a '2 weeks later...' notice. I hope achievement of 30,000 posts hasn't been 2021-like in creating a no-more-mountains-to-climb attitude.

Back on pace and on message, please, ladies and gents!

Great article by Langdon, who praises Goody and the Club Culture, for putting players’ welfare first, as evidenced by him being allowed to miss the Eagles game to attend his sister’s wedding in London.

He said the club was a great place to be and play football with as they really cared about their players.

That is a fantastic advertisement for any player thinking of moving clubs.

Thank you, DP. You are not alone.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club.

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?
