This thread and the 2014 equivalent are both pure gold.

I went back and read the 2014 one and some of the old names made the Scully and Neeld eras come flooding back

    Same.

    But unlike the past, the memories of that era no longer require me to pass through the five stages of grief before I can move on with the rest of my day.

    And some think the vitriol in today’s game day threads is excessive! 

    It was Lord of the Flies stuff back in those days!

    Indeed. And @Rhino Richards would hand out bans and warnings like a over zealous parking inspector!

    I actually believe that this thread was done 8 or so years ago. However, names like Saty, Biffen, Stuie, Range Rover, deeluded, Ben Hur and so forth got a guernsey back then.

    Yeah, it was ‘is the sky blue?’ Type thing IIRC.

    Good to see a 2022 reboot.

    I wonder if I forfeit the right to complain when a thread of me imitating posters gets imitated. My lawyer has a great philosophical brain. I’ll ask him.

    Oddly enough there was very little backlash towards the umpires back then on the game day threads (the team was performing so abysmally - that was the focus)

    Numerous people quit the site on those game-day threads (often returning at a later date) One bloke told us he was going to barrack for Richmond!

    Others were predicting 10-15 goal losses half way through the first quarter.  Nightmare times

    The shared misery was another standout feature ... at one stage there were at least 30 threads all with different topics on what was wrong with the club

    To this day I've no idea how the moderators kept up with it all ... it was total mayhem and the venting was at extreme levels

    And most are still here ... we are a stoic bunch, Col

    I remember him well. @Tigers Dayzwas his name I believe.

    Indeed. I remember one happy camper (who shall remain anonymous) stating he would spit on Neeld in the street should he pass him by. Delightful stuff.

    Well his new team then went and won 3 flags but you have to wonder about the levels of real passion.  Something false about all that as those who switch teams as an adult could best be described as untrustworthy types!

    Fast forward to now and obviously we want to win more than one flag with the current list but for me anyway, there is still a strong sense of absolute relief that we at least broke the long, 57 year drought

    3 flags over a 10 year stretch would satisfy (I fully expect the club to keep reloading with talent long past the 5 year window) Other teams such as the Cats, Swans, Eagles & Hawks have reloaded so why not us?

    To do that we have to keep recruiting aggressively with a real, workable plan

    2020 might have been the first year of our window even though we didn't (but should have) played finals.  The list had been put together and it was just a matter of clicking into gear

    Reckon we'll win tonight to make it 1 from 5 with 4 more to knock over to win big

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
