Given these weekly threads usually come with street names:

- Where's the road out of here?

 

To be ...well....dull....lol...    The Street Names often described the Oval's home , historically.  Arden St, Linton St come to mind..  Others ...just the name of a Park.  Some would suggest we ourselves live out of a Paddock...   some, myself included find that hard to argue 🤣🤣

Was just my poor attempt at a double entendre, as every person is asking for the trade route out of there! #BenKingToTheDemons2024

Great!  Thank you.  I'm sure DL's will be relieved to see it each week and appreciate your work.

Haha, you have the pleasure of quoting the Freo fans in a few weeks.  It will make fascinating reading.  I look forward to catching up on what they and DL's say when I return from sunny Queensland!

 

ps. I don't recall why I hijacked this thread from you a few years ago - you are welcome to take it back permanently, if you wish.

No worries @Lucifers Hero . Happy to share this mission critical responsibility with you.

It was funny, when you gazumped me a few years ago I was a bit miffed - a rolled-up ball of resentment for years. My psychotherapist recommended I quit D’Land. Did that at 7pm one night. Nothing changed. So I rejoined at 7:05pm.

I remember one weekend – quite a few years ago, when a poster presumptuously posted their three-word player analysis and ‘Land went into a meltdown because @joeboy's turf was being trampled on. I heard NBN Co called @Demonland and issued a cease and desist notice.

Anyway, happy to share this onerous responsibility – especially when we play GCS and GWS. They are short weeks! As you know, it’s quite time-consuming aggregating the big-game data, and I’ll need a couple of dayz off work to do the Flogmantle game.

Enjoy Q'land my friend. I've heard they're getting colour tv soon.

When did the title change to Carrara? Guys, we can't keep switching the 'at' venue every time their car GPS changes suburb.

Ha, ha. years of resentment...

... but I'm glad 5 minutes off DL was a cure.  Very addictive is DL. 

Happy to share the onus responsibility of WTAS threads.

Funny you mention the 'joeboy' thread turf.  Recently, a mod started an Opps Watch thread and absorbed the 'What they are saying...' thread into the title.  I posted a tongue-in-cheek protest at the loss of WTAS identity.  The mod received enough pm's from other DL's complaing, that he deleted Opps Watch thread.  So, WTAS thread lives on to entertain!!

Thanks for good wishes, I go to Sydney next week than back here for a little bit, then sunny Queensland.  A very enjoyable time coming up.

A spark of optimism but they aren't too keen on selections.

• Witts playing his 150th in this game has me feeling more optimistic because I know how revered he is within the four walls. The boys got up for Swallow's 200th against Geelong earlier this year.  Can lightning strike twice?
• No Weller :( surprised Berry got a gig. Dew really giving everyone a chance this year
• Is there a more inexperienced forward line in the comp?
• Are you suggesting that we will be missing scoring machines Holman and Ainsworth - 2 goals combined per game?
• Well, we’ve replaced them with Berry and Flanders. Not sure they goal power potency is any higher, but I’m hoping. Berry in particular is fighting for a spot. This is his chance.
• This could get ugly.
• christ
• Sadly gone from a slight chance to no chance.
• Smacks of resting guys to focus on the next 4 games.  Not sure I like the concept.  Belay that.  I’m sure I don’t like it
• Berry brings the pressure like Holman but that's it. His disposal is terrible. Not optimistic about him.
• May actually played like a [censored] most weeks so far. That only means he will bring his best against us.
• Berry is nothing special in vfl and the vfl opposition has been woeful. Still not seeing anything to get excited about with Flanders but hey here's their chance to shine, hopefully they do well.

 

My Favourite:

Close to an all time favourite; it had me roaring with laughter:

• As far as Chol is concerned has been asleep longer than Rip Van Winkle and doubt May and Lever let him wake up this week.

 

Dees by 4 goals!!

Thanks  Wcw. I think the name is but I might be wrong. I think its common in Sth Africa and then Zimbabwe because of the Dutch immigrants. Tbh I just needed some segue to boast about Rooey.

It appears their sense of humour is intact. So there’s that.

You don’t need a segue. Boast with gay abandon!
