6 goals to Ronke. Wow

a la Ricky Barham in his first game...I think he kicked 5?

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Parker - two weeks

[Deestroy All 14,266]

If that [censored] stupid slide rule wasn’t a thing, Parker could’ve slid in for that. Instead, bye bye.

Did Sicily let him know as well by waving him bye bye?

Yep - Sicily is a character

Now, he's arguing with the ump after the game

Not sure what he was complaining to the umpire about after the game. Games over

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Of course Ronke was a Rookie pick by Sydney.

They sure know how to find talent.

Except they kinda do - Ronke is another rookie selection for them who has debuted early the year after being recruited, like Papley before him, and seemingly half their backline

Then there’s Florent and Hayward, plus academy gifts like Heeney and Mills

Irs just extraordinary the way they come on so quick up there

Ronke was drafted 2 years ago. Florent and Hayward were in and out of the team last year.

Credit where credit is due. Thanks Swans and Hawks, that was a great contest to watch.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Roos gave Heeny a vote. Lol turn it up. 

[WERRIDEE 5,572]

I think the Hawks are overrated. Their performance against us was an aberration.

[Willmoy1947 4,198]

Swans crucified by the Hawks bloke who was umpiring with an Umpire no 2 yellow t'shirt on. They still found a way.

Sicily is the new, Media's favourite player, and these blokes know what they're talking about.

Sicily is the most overrated player in the comp.

Yep, have i been missing something since i retired in 1975. So if you talk to the umpire he gives you free kicks. I thought Hawks talk to the umpires because he was a relative or came from the same school/town.

Someone needs to instruct Sicily on the concept of karma.  His spay at the umpires post game, after his less-than-classy exchange with Parker who was clearly concerned for Impey, was a bad look.

Was he expecting the result to change?.  He's no Dermott. 

Brereton used to hand it  out but copped it the other way in good spirit.

Grundy just keeps getting better with Age

A bit like Dunn at Collingwood

Ill let you in on a little secret method of enjoying life a lot more...and keeping your heartrate lower.  Stop worrying about the Dees.

Im sure some will see this as heresy but ...detach. 

Ive followed our Mighty ( and not so mighty ) Demons for well over 50 years since hitting these shores. There was once a time my whole demeanor...my happiness...my outlook balanced on the fortunes of the Red and Blue.

And the a lightbulb monent ..not all that many years ago ....they dont matter. Not in a real way. They dont pay my bills ( quite the opposite ) they don't do any work for me, they provide very little real satisfaction (over time ) .... it's just footy... theyre justca club. The one i chose and stick with. Apparently they owe us nothing...and i understand that. In return I follow them. Go to games im interested in... don't clash with something else that will give me pleasure etc ( eg am off to China with family and friends..will miss the Pies..maybe a bar in Beijing...if not...not fussed )

The real point is....nothing I can do actually affects a change of outcome. I most certainly want us to win. Id love a flag. Not me that will do that.

So ....Dee-invest of yourselves. Enjoy life.. unshackle yourself emotionally from it...Just....be you....in Red and Blue....or Jeans and a hoody....or fav Tweed jacket lol

So why worry.....be happy

Go Dees

Nah Joe Daniher by a mile....

[jnrmac 20,276]

Just watched the Parker incident. It is almost identical to Cotchin except in a couple of respects. Cotchin clearly went past the ball and had no intention of picking the ball up - his hands never reached out for the ball and he was intent on bumping Shiel.. Parker was clearly going for the ball (his hands were reaching for the ball)  and he turned his head away from Impey and his hips towards him.

I would have given Cotchin a penalty and not Parker.
