What They Are Saying at Orange Land

[Lucifers Hero 40,525]

Very slim pickings this week.

From bf:

• ...and please be gentle Demons.
• Maybe I'll break out the rum instead of gin
• 3 new umps .... please
• Apart from cloning Tom Green a few times, there's probably not much we can do that would make a difference.
• I don't care what the game plan is I just want to see us score 100+ points. I wouldn't care if we list by 10 goals doing so. It is better than watching the rubbish they are dishing up at the moment.
• With Ash we recruited a line breaking half back and we have turned him into a tagging mode who doesn’t know what to with it when he gets [it}. Watching him get on the wing in a canter in space and get run down and tackled is infuriating.
• Looks like VFL HQ is getting ready to stitch-up Preuss again as a scapegoat to cover up, and deflect attention away from, the umpiring crime scene.
• ...its onwards to the MCG against the Demons. Oh dear god please stand up and make a game of it.

Don't blame them for wanting 3 new umps!

Each week ops supporters dread playing the Demons.  Never much optimism from them.  Only occasionally is there some hope, albeit futile.

It feels good to be feared by them.

To be fair they have about 30 fans! That's a decent job on BF there 😝

I’m on no hurry to underestimate GWS this weekend.  They’re out of form but they have some genuine weapons in their team.  They troubled us twice last year.

 

(With that said… they’re a franchise, not a club and they have no real supporters)

G Dub Ya S are top 4 quality at their best, but with Leon with the keys only play accordingly every once in a while.

Ironically enough we sorely missed Ben Brown in the late season defeat against them.

I thought that last week was going to be a close game and came out looking like a goose, so i wont be making any bold predictions this week.

Dees by only 80 points.

A completely Souless, Heartless basket case club that the AFL Dreamt made good sense!

1000 point thrashing coming up unless Darth Vader manipulates that umpires pay 10 free kicks Greater Western Shizen to our 1 just to make a game of it

I was at the game at the MCG last year when GWS beat us. Melbourne were listless, flat and seemed disinterested. About a week later I went to an MND fundraiser night where David Schwarz spoke, and he categorically stated that Melbourne would win the premiership. When I said that I had been at the game on the weekend against GWS and they looked far from premiership contenders, he said that Burgess had really upped their training loads and that was why they were so flat. He said that barring injuries they would win and he was right!! I would like them to smash the orange maggots.

I thought we'd already covered this!

Toby Greene is still suspended

Dees to win by 5+ goals without breaking a sweat

They could have spent half the money and you would have a club with soul in Tasmania

After the rush of playing finals and winning the flag I heard Gawn say that now he understands why Dustin Martin always looked bored in rd4 😜

Not to mention the flag in the bank ... Yea Ha!
Go the Mighty Demons.

GWS is one of two teams in the comp who currently have a winning record against us.

We al thought we'd beat them last year, and we didn't.

Surely we haven't forgotten that game.

I think you mean GWS is one of 2 teams who currently have a losing record against us, the other being GC. Unless you mean since the day before the queens birthday last year. Then you’d be correct.

[Pipefitter 2,217]

I’m never confident playing GWS.

I thought he got 5 weeks? That would mean he is back.

I think Hegel's quote is best

"The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn from history"

[leave it to deever 17,596]

Aren't these just all from their one supporter?

My fave was.....

"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it."

.....talk about self confidence.
