Playing West Coast in Perth.

Every. Single. Year

yeah, good call.

And how many times have Haw and Coll played eagles in Perth and Geelong at Karak Castle. And how many times in the same year.

We usually play the crows in Adelaide as well although AFL couldnt fit it in this season.Did however kick us down to Tassie again.

I dont mind playing 7 or 8 interstate our win record is the best in the comp.  AFL treats some clubs better than others. Hawthorn should of gone to the Cattery this year not us FFS

Eagles obviously lobbied  AFL to switch their cattery game to Adelaide.

Why dont we try that??

according to journos he's already "out-of-contract" despite the fact his contract has a full season to go

go figure

This terminology of language around football contracts has been used since the 90's. Most journo's I've read have always said he's out of contract at the end of the year so technically they are correct.

What about the Great Geelong Flood of 2023, where the New ground got flooded out and destroyed

I can run with that, only as long as the flood was caused by a burst sewerage line.

Dangerfield going for Olympic gold in the high dive. He attempted a reverse triple somersault with a forward pike after the merest suggestion of contact, but only managed a belly wacker.  The umpires were suitably impressed and awarded him a free kick.

Oh, it’s real. Last year I went there and we were ushered to a parking spot whereat the attendant asked if we were Geelong members (despite being head to toe red n blue with flags n banners in the back seat). We said no and he said that’ll be $15. Curious, I asked him why he needed to know if we were Geelong members to which he replied, “it’s only $10 for Geelong members.” Walking towards the entrance I asked a few Geelong fans what they’d paid and they all said $10. 

Did you give him the extra five in cash?

No, it was all on card. And it wasn’t just us, others in the cheer squad were charged $15 as well. And it wasn’t just one guy doing the job so it must be a thing.

Another future star will leave us for big bucks stating homesickness the reason.

I'll shorten it up to make it flow better, life, death, taxes and free agency.

Also shouldn't the title be 4 certainties in life!?

No problem. Never been down to the cattery and never will.

Can't understand why supporters punish themselves going down there. Slim chance at best of winning.

I would love to go down there in guise of cat fan, sit in kitty ltter cheer squad. Then disrobe to reveal Dees colors with no 13 on my back and bag the sheeeit out of moggie land and give them the Best Picket Fence SLEDGEFEST EVER!!!!!🤩

when this comes up it always reminds me of my dads mate at work at Aer Lingus. 

One time he said - “sure it’s as certain as death in Texas”

needless to say he never lived that one down 😂

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
