Seems a lifetime ago that theose message boards were full vastly different discussion!

I will never take last year, or any other successful campaigns, for granted

I watched Footy Classified to see what Lloyd was on about. Yes, great to see that we are the yardstick. But that aside, it just proved to me (again) that the host is a rude and ignorant bully. His treatment of Caroline Wilson was inexcusable.

Yea I struggled with that too. What an absolute money-grubbing self-fellator that bloke is.

An extra ordinary time to be a Demon supporter,   how many this year undefeated this season are we going for 10, when did that last happen 70 years ago

and the 16 or 17 in a row.... ditto

and let alone  the 32 winning games out of 37    (is it, I forget we win so often)

Smile when you are asked who do you support,   Go Dees

I think Eddie everywhere has missed the point of a GF but believes there will be a $50 Million shortfall but the fact is football has to get the families back to watch daytime football which encourages kids to play and watch football.

You’re 15 old self seeks other ‘content’ and won’t watch this. He also called you a ‘weirdo’ - what a little [censored]…

I know it’s not the intent of this thread but I wasn’t a big fan of Parker’s antics for a couple of reasons.

1. If we are serious about bullying then this behaviour qualifies. Many will say it’s part of the game and game of men etc etc. But I always come back to thinking about the kids that see this and how that behaviour can be used against more vulnerable children at school or on the footy field. I’m sure Dylan can handle the heat but after watching u10s was shocked as to how much the kids mimic afl players from umpire abuse, diving, etc.

2. it’s disrespectful and unprofessional behaviour that has no place on the footy field. I’m sure Horse has told Parker off that this isn’t what footy is about and you must respect your opponent no matter the circumstances.

Completely agreed. I would be really annoyed if one of our players did that.

The outwardly behaviour that was clear for everyone to see at the ground and on TV was not acceptable in my mind. Have a word to your opponent sure, it will stay on the field and that is fine. But Parker just made himself look like a  total tool and publicly embarrassed his opponent, which is so unnecessary. Takes away from the excellent player Parker is, and put the focus on his dumb behaviour instead of his team's great performance.

These players compete at the highest level 

If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen

They've gotten ahead of themselves, gotten too fancy, and now their players apart from Wright have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. They need Tippa back more than they can imagine.

Correct, but not going to happen, unfortunately.

It has been 50 years so shouldnt we be a metrestick instead of a yardstick?

Radio;  Melbourne hasn’t won on Election Day since 1954. 
Host;  Melbourne just break records. 
 

Jack Dyer played under eight Prime Ministers. 
Burgoyne six, and only two coaches.

I get where you are coming from and if there was no televised coverage where thousands of impressionable kids were watching, then i wouldn't have too much of an issue with either. 

Fact is, it is televised and as such AFL players (whether they like it or not) have a responsibility back to the community to behave in a way that promotes good sportsmanship and acceptable behavior.  Most workplaces would also have a code of conduct, which promotes acceptable behavior and treating colleagues with respect. If Luke Parker doesn't like that, then he can get out of the kitchen. 

 

Hopefully North get a full yardstick this weekend

In the space of a decade or so we've gone from Media saying we play bruise-free footy to being thugs to now being this relentless hard but fair team. What A journey.

Only if we do the hard metres, put kilometres into our legs, have a gram of luck, centimetre closer to a win, watch the kilojoules and go the whole 8.23 metres.

They both do it. This is what happens with the multiverse. Sometimes it is two bad realities merging.

I think with the retirement of Tippa we all need some cheering up. So on this topical note I bring you:
