Great minds SWYL !!!

I've been resisting the temptation to go out and buy a packet of darts all morning!!!

All this talk of darts has inspired me.  Off to the shop I go.

I thought it was odd not to replace Parfait with another like for like midfielder.

The question is, who comes out to replace Narkle. Is it a tall due to injury, or will they just make a change with the sub?

Extra big-bodied(sort of , but still tiny compared to Oliver)) midfielder maybe. 18 game career, and 1 game this year so far?????

    How much can you drink after a covid jab

    All of it. Except at even moderate levels I was off my trolley for two days, and then the fever and shivers hit. Prior to that I was floating somewhere between MDMA and weed and revelling in the free drugs, with only the occasional alcohol top-up. I now understand that my reaction was somewhat rare, but not unprecedented.

    Damn. Double dosed AZ and none of that.

    Might have to give Pfizer a go.

    Am I the only one that's been sitting at my desk all day but have done absolutely nothing? 

    I've managed to Photoshop (using 'multiply' layer blending mode) a red V over my work profile shot - it's now 2.10pm. The institution will greatly benefit from this.

    Scott is a bit like 'the boy who cried, wolf'.  He has a late change for nearly every game so it surprises no-one when he pulls that trick.  It is a silly game he plays.

    I still think there he will make a late change announced just before final teams are confirmed: about 6pm today.

    @Demonland Andy if we win tonight can you please repost that ‘royal rumble’ meme you did in the 2018 finals series and update it for this year?

    Edited by DeezNuts


    If adding Narkle in late to the emergencies is a tactic of Scott's its a strange one. If he was fit or even close to you would think he would already have been in there.

    Unless they have more late outs you would think this means Narkle will be the medi sub.

    Interesting...

    Same here.

    Fox have been playing previous contests between Melbourne and Geelong starting from a while back until now. I've been sucked in to watching them all.

    My main take was a reminder just how much Selwood CAN step up in big games.

    I find playing Lego with the kids quite calming. Maybe I should do that for a couple of hours.

    Barrel of nerves here, win this and we will win next week, but while confident, not overly!

    If it helps, over here in Adelaide, not one person at golf this morning wishes any form of goodwill or tolerance towards Geelong in this PF. All are scathing about the run that the Cats have received onfield across several years - but in particular, this year as a few capable teams (unexpected to most at the start of the season) have played far better football than Geelong and still lost by 'aided' margins.

    I have not seen such team resentment for years except for one occasion when the Dees played The Filth  at the 'G, sitting within the Members stand.

    I think even the 'honest' media have all abandoned the Cats in this match, as well.

    Carna Dees! Punish the *XYZ##$!** and remember, wiping the bum is the same as cleaning up the Cats.

    What's the use of naming emergencies if they can be replaced less than 24 hours after being named? 

    Geelong gave medi subbed a potential medi sub.

    Simpson has concussion..strange tgey didn't know that at selection.

    A fine cool day today in Perth. Some light scattered showers expected in the evening with light winds. Should be mostly clear though.

    Feel free to utilise the idea at will, no charge, of course. It is something that needs widespread exposure.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
