Some posters on this forum are no better with their use of such childish, cringeworthy terms as "Whorethorn", "West Coke", "Essendrug" and "Jeelong".

 

I remember years ago scratching my head, wondering what on earth was remotely funny about 'Jeelong.' I put the question out there and SWYL kindly responded that the genius cheer squad spelt Geelong that way on the banner for a game.

Pretty bloody funny

    Both Lever and Viney have had plantar fascia problems. Most recently Lever this season. Lever spent a lot of time hobbling and on the bench against GWS and was seen on the ground after the game with boots in hand.

    COVID19?

    Wow. You wonder how they made money.

    It's all relative I guess.  The basic wage in 1968 was $1.35 an hour so $1.25 for a soft cover book sounds right.

    These days it's about $20 an hour which would probably buy you a similar book.

    If clubs want to rest a player I doubt they would play the covid card, it is just too serious an issue and what if they really got in a few weeks?  If they wanted to keep an injury a secret they could say hamstring tightness or something equally nebulous.

    Check the selections across teams this weekend, Hogan “managed”.

    True. The big difference today is house prices to income. The disparity is vast unfortunately.

    I thought Goody said in his presser that Lever rolled the same ankle twice in the GWS game and they would have to wait to see how he recovered - Id say they are taking a conservative approach again with him

    Agree, West Coke is cringeworthy.

    It's Wet Coke.

    That's .... very hard to believe.   Are there any images of this alleged banner?

    I don't know. You'll have to ask him

    lol ... I think Jee-long is appropriate because that's what their supporters chant.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
