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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
