It wasnt that long ago our team would walk off the ground, week after week after week, with a hangdog expression on their faces because they had just copped another flogging. It must have been bloody hard coming to work every week knowing you would feel [censored] at the end of the day.

Now that things are changing for the team (Due to their own hard work, it hasnt been gifted to 'em), i reckon its great to see smiles on their faces after a game. This team is forming some really strong bonds that hopefully will help us get us a cup or 3. If they want to have a bit of an in-joke after smashing the opposition, thats ok by me.

    At the risk of sounding like the Col Sylvia 'meme', can you imagine how good these two blokes are going to be with another preseason under their belts?

    While this is just a snippet, I have never seen the level of camaraderie in the AFL that is currently being displayed by our key young crop. From memory, the Gus/Trac bromance moved onto Clarry after the initial display. Time will tell, but I'm not sure that the importance of this bond can be understated. They've probably played less than 20 games together as a unit. Is Goodwin the right guy thread is where this video belongs.

    Such a disgrace. The FD needs to clamp down on this ridiculous behavior. All players should be banned from smiling until we win 3 flags in a row and Simon Goodwin cures cancer. 

    And reconciles the Israelis and the Palestinians. The dees winning 3 flags ain't too hard for Goodwin, nor curing cancer.

    I often say that footy clubs are made of 80+ unique individuals.

    Some very unique...

     

    He gives a spark when the group needs one. He’s different. That’s good.

    Trac is hilarious. Every player named him the most annoying haha

    you can see the love there. 

    We need this type of bonds to be formed so in finals they will go the extra mile for their mates

    Angus's side of the story.

    Paraphrasing:  "...Gus's chin was cut open in the 2nd qtr vs GCs and had 5 staples put in and he was in a bit of pain...at the end when Trac tried to hug him he was trying to keep his sore chin away...then this weird 'chin kiss' dance happened..."

    From the 33.00 minute mark of podcast  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-07/podcast-emotional-angus-on-brother-gaff-hit

    Great courage from Gus to play on in pain and 5 staples in his chin - who would have known. 

    As and aside, Gus hasn't told his much suffering mum about the staples.  You have to feel for Mrs Brayshaw:  Eldest son currently serving in Afghanistan, Gus all stapled up, Hamish's teammate Gaff belts youngest son Andrew behind the ball.  As I said in another thread - Courage runs deep in the Brayshaw family.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
