As others have said.... hahhaha bombers are chit!!! I love it!!

What was Hinkley doing in the box after the win? Looked like he was giving it to Crows fans

Adelaide  coaching staff gave Port the game. Sent ALL their players back, except wingers with 40 secs to go. Port had the extras at HB. Adelaide won the clearance and kicked it straight into the Port wall. Ball straight down the Port end, all in 20 secs! Port then kill the ball from the centre bounce, with numbers at the ball and run down the clock. Game over.

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

God, i'm gonna miss you Beelzebub........almost like listening to my imaginary psychiatrist.....

Some dubious umpiring already in the North v Tigers game.

[Cards13 9,117]

Rance is a d bag of the highest order. Brown takes a good contested mark in first qtr and Rance tries to slam him as hard as he can into turf.

Bloody hell the tigers are good. Maybe 2019 will be our flag. Can see tiges winning back to back.

Don't you know? He's frustrated according to Hamish and his [censored] mates.

It is refreshing to listen to Fox Footy  as it isn't ad nauseum fluffing of Dusty, Rance and Captain Cotch. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Umps refusing to award the North forwards blatant free kicks. These are the most frustrating as supporters and Norf fans ain’t happy.

Dusty having a poor game at the moment. I take it he is not injured.

Haha I’d be frustrated if I was him as well... life couldn’t be so frustrating. 

Glad the Mothers Day lunch I’ve been cooking is ready and I’ve turned it off.

He’s had an average few weeks. He’s started to start playing Hollywood style and ignoring the defensive part of the game. Literally stands there and watches opposition run off if he doesn’t get fed the ball on a platter. A mile off his 2016-2017 form.

[Cards13 9,117]

Everyone saying North is chit... they are playing a bloody tough brand of footy to get over the top of.

[Diamond_Jim 12,590]

I am tending towards the theory that the inaccuracy reflects the pressure of the game but I am unable to explain the seeming growth in the level of inaccuracy from set shots other than to suggest that the modern game shares the set shots around a little more than the past where it was dominated by dedicated forwards.

PS: Of course as I post that Geelong kicks 2 and their goals to behind ratio is not quite as bad

Is there a player anymore well-treated by umpires than Joel Selwood? The umpires are killing the Pies by gifting Selwood frees

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,833]

You know, watching all these replays of the umpire contact, I have been thinking that whilst I don't condone any intentional agressive behaviour towards umpires, the umpires also need to get out of the face of players and out of their personal space a bit.  Thought the May incident was almost accidental and that the Carlton one was more just a natural almost instinctive reaction of someone intruding on another's personal space.  Really don't see why the umpires should have been as close to the players as they are in these instances.
