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

  • Is there a more inexperienced forward line in the comp?

Chandler, Pickett, Van Rooyen happily waving from the other end. 'We've each kicked at least one goal every game!'

Could be an interesting sideshow with the forward lines.

One side is almost without 'official' small forwards, the other side is almost without 'official' tall forwards.

    Wow I think this person has multiple personality disorder, so many different views on the game from 1 mind.

    Hope Steven May is reading this.

    The censored word referring to May isn't as bad as it looks.  The censored word is an anagram of carp!!  Hardly offensive, right? 

    Methinks our censor meter has a virus of some sort...🙄

     I assume this refers to the thread title rather than its author😐

    The author's personality and mind are just fine, thank you 🙂(altho noting the time spent on DL might prompt some to question the good sense of said author...)

    Title’s had more name changes than Kardinia Park😁

    Fair call!

    The path of this WTAS title:

    • It started off as @ Metricon as I couldn't remember where they are located.
    • A moderator rightly changed it to @ Heritage Bank as that is the stadium's new sponsor. 
    • The author (moi) wasn't fond of that title so I searched out the location and changed it to  @ Carrara, 'overuling' the mod.😟
    • On reading their fan bf page they have nicknamed the stadium 'The Bank' which I like.

    Must confess it was with some trepidation that I 'overruled' a very senior mod by changing the 'Heritage Bank' title but I don't have a 'warning' so all is good.🙃

    i'll humour you anyway:  local catholic primary school and local high school. 

    ...I could never do the daily The Age cryptic crossword if I didn't find the anagrams first.🙂

    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’s all got very complicated for me. Putting nationality or heritage aside, I used to think I was pronouncing his name correctly but now I’m pretty sure I haven’t been…… so now I’m playing it safe and just call him JVR.

    Not sure I get that🤔

    Is Aramanga supposed to be an anagram of 'anagram'?  Aramanga has one too many A's to be an anagram of 'anagram'.

    Had a quick look at bf.

    70% of posts were complaining about the umpiring.  30% rightly proud of the team and optimism for the rest of the season.

    The big surprise was the high number of Opps team posters who butted in to say 'GCS were robbed' or similar.  Opps fans rarely post on pre and post threads.  Offenders were from Lions, Tigers, Ess and Saints.  Guess that says it all!!

    Giving the mood, no-one would have been game to say the dees also got a raw deal and GCS were gifted some easy goals.

    The next few installments of WTAS@ will be brought to you by @Queanbeyan Demon 

    Enjoy!

    Most people only remember the what happened in the last quarter, never what happened in the first 3. Sure, the umpiring swung back in our favour in the last, but in the second and third it was clearly in there's. 3-4 goals from frees early in the game to them, 1 in the last to us. We came out worse of overall.

    Egged on by the commentary!

    Also, I think as a team we are rising up the 'most hated' ranks.  A badge of honour! :cool:

    I also think horrible weather in Victoria meant that a lot of footy fans watched the game. They just wanted us to get rolled, because we are a threat. Much like when we watch Geelong and Brisbane play we want the opposition to do well, but it’s exaggerated for the Suns because they don’t really threaten anyone yet.

    If that was a Collingwood Melbourne game most impartial supporters wouldn’t say a word.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
