Sometime in the third quarter I suddenly started calling Charlie Spargo 'Banksy' and I like so I'm going to keep doing it.

Nobody knows who he is and he keeps producing little works of art in unexpected places.

You're drawn me out of hibernation LG. That's very very good from you.

It is hard to explain the joyous feelings that we experienced whilst watching that Preliminary Final while madly texting our three daughters and grandson (all Dee tragics) in lockdown. All the highs getting higher and higher as Max and the boys went to town in the third quarter. Blowing the “hated” Cats out of the water in such an emphatic manner was pure bliss. Love this team.Rest up boys one more huge game to win.💕

Couldn't sleep much last night. Having watched the replay its difficult to tell how much was us being outstanding and how much was Geelong having a complete shocker. No doubt our pressure was first rate.

It looked to me like an injury when your pelvis/ hip rolls forward when you accidentally step off a curve or in a pothole

Yep. Good analogy.

Does that change with the new sub rule? If you take 14 days you are likely to re-injure it but it might be considered a risk worth taking in a GF. 

Maybe. I guess it adds a little insurance. Definitely a roll of the dice otherwise.

Will Hawkins ever pay the price for pushing people in the back?

With his illegal actions Hawkins has cost May 2 games, a half final and maybe a GF.

This is on top of round arms etc to other players of other teams.

Will only get worse as he gets older and his frustration increases.

I too was getting worried by @old deeabsence.   Can't have him missing out on the DL fun.  Had to prod him a little via pm to come out of his slumber.  Good to see him back posting.  

You and me both, Luci. I PM-ed him this arvo and gave him a good telling off for saying he wasn’t important. His granddaughter for one would beg to differ. 💕


JV is the player in the league that I would least want to play on…it’s life and death for him…an absolute animal! He is a polarising figure but I feel so happy for him right now. What a dream, to play in a GF for the club your Dad captained.

I know it is only one story but we’ll done Jack. 
I’m so proud of our club…getting pretty emotional writing this…Go Dees!

I read your post - that was a good 'telling off' as well!

I had also invoked his grand daughter to bring him some cheer.  Seems to have worked and he came back to us.

He’s just got to be here right now. He deserves to be enjoying this feeling as much as the rest of us. And great minds DO think alike (yours and mine) since we both played the granddaughter card. 😁

Assuming it's true, does it explain how bad some of those players were?

It probably does.

I don't care.

Which Virus?

Even if not the C-word it's irresponsible if our players are exposed to a bug.

Was thinking the same, could impact our boys prep into the granny if it was passed on

Sent a drunken text to Richo at midnight last night to thank him and declare my love for him and all things MFC.

To my surprise he replied this morning, thanking me for the support and said he hopes the club continue to make me proud.

He also said “The boys are so ready”.

Richo tried to hit on my ex-gf at a bar in Prahran when I was still back in Melbourne, he did well, but nevertheless she stayed true (for a few months anyways). But I digress… I still love Richo as his commentary is usually on point, love the guy TBH.

I posted this yesterday morning.  Seems like his info was on the money.

Just chatting to the Geelong fan behind the console at my servo who not only doesn't fancy their chances but has also heard that there's a tummy bug going through the Cats. 

I'd take that with a huge grain of salt, but I wouldn't be upset if his mail is accurate.

Absolutely irresponsible from the AFL as it was clear they were made aware. 

Usually a common cold virus is no where near as transmissible as COVID so the risk is low but these things are now magnified  in covid times. They should have played with face masks.

i still wonder how they get sick when they were in quarantine in the first place.

I think in all fairness it does as well. But I keep thinking how we got stiffed last year so there is balance is somewhat restored.

They did [censored] their pants last night so it seems possible. 

They didn’t get close enough to any of our players to pass it on thankfully. 
 

edit: they were drinking in a pub today. Can’t be that sick 🙄

Lets be honest, its going to be a while for the cats to win a prelim after the number we did on them.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
