Watching from NZ. I’m giving this a quarter before I give up and go to bed.

Thanks! Exciting times ? Before the start of the year I thought I was going to have to manage competing joys of fatherhood and a huge year from the Dees. As it's eventuated, I've had no distractions at all with being a good Dad haha. Let's hope we get things together before the kid is old enough to pick a team (I've already bought his gear).

“Pick a team”

Sorry , there’s no picky picky though i admire your desire to help him avoid a lifejme of misery . I was singing GOF to #1 4 hours after arrival as Mum was in surgery . Hilariously , he now does a ripping Pies, Hawks, Blues medley despite insisting he’s a Dees man, meanwhile number 2, at 7 months, because I am a pragmatic fellow, is Pies with mum.

I have been surprised at the loss of hours on the bike / legs with 1 let alone 2

its mad times though , I love being a dad

    General question - whys Carey  called the “Duck”? And what’s with the black eye???

    He picked a fight with the bitumen...

     

    Na, he stacked on his face riding his bike.

     

    Assume the brace position guys. 

    This will be rough. 

    Grab the lube

    It was my understanding that it wasn't. 

    No offence to you, but it’s absurd to think that no-one in the FD reviewed that game. It’s just not realistic. There are degrees of review, but to think it wasn’t reviewed at all is crazy.


    One thing fr sure is we won’t let max get bullied off the ball this time. Expect fireworks if they try that. 

     

    Gee, Tim Smith will be feeling the pressure. Will probably get text messages at half time from Preuss, saying things like 'I hope you're enjoying borrowing my spot, just bring it back with the tank full'.

    Honestly, I go into this game with a 'nothing to lose ' attitude. The whole AFL world will be expecting us to get a whacking, and even my plan for an incrementally delusional path to later season greatness doesn't include a win tonight.

    Still, y' never know. And a win tonight would completely turn the story around, our early season horrors would be declared just that, and people would start praising our character and maturity. And of course, when you win, you can mention your injuries whenever you like.




    Petracca clearly not happy about the responsibility of taking the shot.

    Aaaand there it goes.

    Still, in 4 minutes we've outscored our entire Prelim Final first half...

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
