Play the kids and see if some enthusiasm can bring a few wins, or likely the season is done.

After last weeks game if we don't play Fullerton then why the hell is he on the list? Billings is NQR, Laurie is not an AFL level talent, and Chandler is seriously out of form. When you add that we are playing two backman in Turner and Petty as forwards it is not hard to see why we are having problems. Howes is a fill in player who without Lever  looks all at sea. Surely there is the opportunity to add a couple of first gamers next week how could they possible contribute less than Howes, Laurie or Chandler?

@old dee, @Redleg; you are vertebrae* in this thread! How could you inject the slipped discs of actual football talk into it - and with nerve pinching negativity at that!

Back to inanity, gentlemen, please!

Well your request is my task.

Why do some people call it jam, while others call it conserve, not to mention the Yanks calling it jelly?

This thread is like 'barley', or parliament with its privilege, isn't it, layze; you can safely say stuff that would elsewhere be roundly slinged and arrowed! 😄

That's because we operate under a banner of truth and tackling the hard stuff others won't.

No one cares what Yanks think.....other than Yanks of course....  

They've bastardised the language and therefore forfeited any relevance.

As in..Tonite I'm thru with donuts.

That said at least there are those around who sorely test the limits of Darwinism that'll probably dial 911 thereby doing us all a favoUr ;)

Our old english teacher stopped us using Americanisms by telling us that they turned one gay.  One went into the cupboard but came out of the closet.

Met a bunch of Dees fans last night and they were as feral about the Coach, as Uncle Bitters is when he gets down to the last few swigs from the wine cask.

Basically want him gone and blame him for all our ills.

I have a headache atm and they have got me wondering if it is Goody's fault.

Love the fact we are now playing the younger guys and improving our depth.

Don't know how we can win friday, but if we somehow could, it would turn our season completely around.

Naming storms and the like after people always seems a little odd to me.

Do we do it for earthquakes or wars?

Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered.

Munchausen at the symposium;

Munchausen: "This condition is one where the sufferer compulsively invents medical conditions in order to gain attention."

The Symposium Attendees: "Yes, we see that."

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
