I didn't attend the footy today nor did I even think about it until about 6.00 pm this evening. Today I had the privilege of attending a "special olympics" swimming carnival. Most of the competitors were Down Syndrome the the others had ID's of various types.

The highlight for me was a 50 metre race where 3 0f the competitors had finished and the fourth was about 3/4 of a pool length behind. The crowd cheered the last person on and, as she came near the finish, the other three who were still in the water began to clap.

I am a hard hearted [censored] but this made me cry. Actually writing about it now is making me cry.

It puts life in perspective.

You are a big softy bbo in more than just girth.

Good to see this thread taking on a more enjoyable and sharp direction.

A bit more red-blooded spirit would be a lot better ... :blink:

Actually don't think we lack spirit R and B.

The lack of skill is our problem.

It is difficult to pull your socks up if you do not have any on.

True, OD. But one of the constant frustrations of being a Dees supporter is seeing the difference between the best and the worst of the current list. Some will struggle to make it at AFL level, but if they all put in to the best of their ability each week, whatever that is, then .... well, that would be different ...

Clearly more blue than red.

I believe this real issue is lack of a sash, We need one!

Something in me tells me that a sash is not a good look right now ... perhaps just playing like demons would be best. :blink:

You want us to play that badly?

See below, Perth's nickname is also the Demons.

Surely we can do so much better?

Perth is 8th on a 9 team ladder.

They not won their last flag in the late 70's and I don't think they played in a Grand final since that time.

It makes the whiter one look positively terrific.

Probably do well at clearances, and great at shepherding, but will struggle on the lead and not strong overhead. A real bugger to shift from the bottom of the pack, though ...

I see your point, but I was thinking more of the demented ape-[censored] crazy desperate fiend ... bringing a bit of hellfire and brimstone would be a welcome change! :blink:

Then he should be worth $10,000,000 over the next 9 years.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
