Believe it or not but I had Collingwood as a second team back in the mid seventies. Under Tom Hafey they played a good game of football.

Don't worry I saw the light in 1988 when abused by a little old lady magpie supporter for cheering a Melbourne win.

Since then GWS has been my second team. For a while they were like a fantasy football league

    He signs his name with #34, that says to me he's coming our way. I'm more confident now than I was last year.

    Yep 

     

    He’ll be a Dee barring some late winds change — ie upheaval or sudden major decline that looks unrecoverable.. but can’t see that as even IF absolute worst happened & we lost Trac, Clarry, Max next year and even Kos, I honestly blv the haul we’d gain in conjunction with our young talent means it’d be a 2-4yr skid at most! But my current feeling is that this group now is closest thing we’ve had talent and fitness wise to our 2021 group, line by line, 90% doing 90% of pre season etc so of course that can all change but KW a demon is about $1.27 for mine 😉

    Pricing KW.

    It's triggering my cost of living angst.

    Call me paranoid, but I fear the AFL will pull some sort of swiftly on us, again. 
    Q: is it paranoid when you know actually and truthfully they are out to get you?

    I am confident he will end up with us. However, he is a young and skinny,  and I really don't see him being a good AFL player until about 2028  - he will need to fill out, and learn the senior game. This is absolutely not a knock on him, but you can't be a ruckman or a key position player until you have some weight and strength.

    If he does, we’ve hit the jackpot. Sam Darcy will be the best player in the game within the next 2 years. He also progressed extremely quickly for a tall.

    Perhaps you may need some sort of counselling. It couldn’t happen again. Look at it from a half glass full not empty. 

    It was a dreadful act by the AFL and some compensation should have come our way.

    Counseling  for paranoia never helps, because the counselors are really part of the plot and are out to get you 🙄

    Sam Darcy was drafted in 2021, he only just started coming on last season so it's taken him a few years to get to the level.

    Still feel we needed to draft or trade in a ruckman in the 22-26 age bracket ready to take over from Max in a couple years, even if we get this kid it's ganna take time

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
