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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
