Take a chill pill. There's a lot of nervous nellys on other threads. The boys will do their absolute best. They will do their best to minimise mistakes, eradicate coach killer moments and bring their 'A' game as a collective unit.

They'll need to be at their absolute best, because Collingwood will come out and deliver their best on Sunday.

This game will be played above the shoulders. And mindset will be critical before the game. Time for the coach to deliver.

 

What we don't wish for is a chorum of 'jimmy brits' in the game day thread venting with each wrong indiscretion. Get down to the 'half back flank', take out some 'Gary Honey' and get down to the 'Rub-a-dub-dub', sit down on a 'Brucey Doull' for a few 'Richard Gere's' before going to the game. 

Just make sure you stop for a 'Magical Miss' on the way in.

Killing time...let's hear some of your finest rhyming slang...

I came into this thread to ask who Ian Nankervis is.

Saw this. Am more perplexed than I was when I started.

Former Geelong player. Had a brother played for Geelong as well, Bruce Nankervis.

Just googled him. Apparently he retired before I was born.

Can't think of a funny way to say this using rhyming slang but In and his brother (whose first name escapes me) played or Geelong in the 70s (and early 80s) and were both guns. Ian was one of my favorite non MFC players

Damnit!

I tried to fit in with the cool older crowd and now look the fool. I have reinforced your beliefs about Gen Y's ignorance! I am a failure!

"ian Nankervis" = nervous for those who haven't caught on. BTW my mates reckon I've swallowed the Strine dictionary.

On another note, the Nankervis bros. were referred to as the Leyland brothers for their penchant to traverse the entire backline when moving the ball forward.

And, no, I ain't going to explain who the Leyland brothers were.

Drew Morphett had replays on Winners Re-booted the other night. Geelong v Collingwood Rd 1, 1982. The Nankervis bros. were playing among the likes of the red haired, pale skin trio of Neville Bruns, Scratcher Neal, John Mossip. 

A young first gamer in Darren Flannagan also played that game.

As soon as the optimism levels rise about an up coming game, a siren sounds in the back of my head, that I foolishly ignore...

Such is football.

You would need to ask the Leyland Brothers that wouldn't you, after all that is what their song said!

Agree - it's all above the Gregory Peck. If the players have their Billy Goggin's screwed on properly, then a rusty tin will occur

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
