Excuse me? Trolling? Again? Have never trolled. Don't plan on it. Check your facts before you accuse posters, and show a little respect.

And no, they made the point in the program that they were dwelling on two separate players, and that it was vaguely comical. One with the surname Oliver and one with the surname Wines. Pretty much all their texts apparently were based around people who couldn't believe neither were on the ground in their starting AA midfield.

Here's a little fundamental about the development of language for you. People don't always communicate in a way that both parties enjoy or understand. The blame doesn't always lie with the person that conceives the wording. Sometimes, often in fact, the listener/reader is just a dingbat who either can't understand plain English, or refuses to.

Here's another fundamental for you. Check your facts before you go off half cocked. 

My sincere apologies Dappa Dan. I certainly didn't intend to offend. I was playfully referring to the chaos it caused when you referred to Oscar MacDonald as 'Ozzie' in a previous thread. Ironic, as part of that mock-rant spoke of effective communication and I'm afraid I failed miserably in having my tone understood. I don't think you're a troll and I'm sorry again to have upset you.

    Classy post Sku. And I think maybe a first in demonland.

    And yeah, I didn't quite see the playful tone. Maybe I'm just a bit of a dingbat myself. In any case...

    How good is Clarry!

    Not at all. I read it again just now and it came off as very harsh indeed. And apparently I'm writer by trade. It's time I learned how to use that cheeky Demon emoticon.

    Surely it can't be that bad. lol

    To direct it back on topic, the numbers this kid is getting in his second year is phenomenal. Put him in a Collingwood, Essendon, or Richmond top and I reckon he'd be the talk of the town. Personally I'm quite happy for him to keep flying under the radar a bit.

    I would, but I'm afraid that Clarry would know my precise whereabouts and my girlfriend will find out.

    Along with the Oliver article, theres another article on the HeraldSun website comparing Christian Petracca to the greats of the game.

    I guess the lid is off.

    We could have another Greg Williams or Sam  Mitchell with Clarrie.

    I can't believe the quickness of his reflexes, and the awareness of his team mates' whereabouts.

    He can take a mark and kick well too, but those creative hand passes in close or at a distance are the hallmark.

    We've gone for years without genuine stars.

    We might have four by 2018. Oliver ,Hunt, Hogan and Petracca.

    Could Frost be up there,too?,and wouldn't it be great if Weideman develops as hoped.

    For decades we've had to worry about opposition stars. Soon they'll have to worry about ours.

    ( like '94 when we had Jako, Stinga, Lyon, Schwarta and Charles)

    By the way, most sides would love to have Tommy Mac back there, and I have high hopes for Oscar.

    It's getting very exciting.

    You forgot our All Australian ruckman.

    Also our new Co-Captain.

    Oh and if Jack Watts can continue his improvement...

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
