    This. Except in a much nicer way, and not disparaging birds of any kind.

    Better to let Grundy and BB do the ruck, give Gawn a break, he's tried.

    You do mean “tired” right?

    I love the phrase monkey's uncle. Is that a Lion King one?

    Sounds like he's been tried and convicted without a chance to defend himself!

    He sure is trying out there.

    I think it was around long before that since my grandad used to say it and he’d be like 1000 years old were he alive today. 😁

    ‘Trying’ in this instance being an adjective or a verb?

    Interested to see how Joel Smith goes about it tonight.

    Hope he clunks a few and can apply some tackling pressure when it goes to ground.

    We need to find our system and method tonight going forward.

    edit: before you answer that, know that I’m on my third coffee already and as is the case every GameDay, my hair-trigger emotions are off the charts and I will hunt you down and it won’t be pretty. K? K!

    Taking the mickey by the way @WalkingCivilWar would never question El Capitano.

    Lets go with adjective for those playing at home.

    You must be a kid. Common in old Hollywood movies and early American TV.


    Time for Max to take this game by the scruff of the kneck! Just been going since he's been back & we really do need him at his best. 

    For me, he's our barometer tonight & If he gets going & starts clunking them around the ground like we know he can, then it'll go along way to setting up this game in our favour. 

    If Carlton deny us marking the footy, we'll be in trouble.

    No just your grandad! But don't worry, one of mine would have been 125 y.o a few days ago.

    Not sure what to do about this game whether to start drinking early or later and finish with a flourish

    Coffee ban? Why? WHY??????

    Yeah nah, good luck with that Layz. Wish I could do the same. I would except there’d likely be a spike in random homicides in the western suburbs. 

    I'm running a marathon today and feel it's analogous to our season. Currently in the early winter slump, going ok but slightly out of sorts, I hope by the time I cross the finish line (5pm-ish) there will be some beers lined up at the golf club and I can celebrate in style and watch the Dees tonight.

    We're just grinding out the marathon at the moment. Each km marker (game) is merely a snapshot at the present time as to how the team was feeling... it's not a predictor of the end result. There is going to be a lot of hurt and joy both on an individual and team level over the next 12 rounds... and then the next season begins.

    The saying has been around since the 1800s and was a sarcastic response to Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

    Well Polly wants a cracker because this is either a ‘BBB is done’ situation or ‘he can only play 10 AFL games a year’ situation. 

    I don’t understand it and I am worried more for JVR who is running about trying to play to where they are kicking it and looks so lost from time to time. Gawn and Grundy play like they ‘chip in’ to the forwards as a favour and we don’t have someone to the tough work now that TMac is out. 

    Unless we suddenly move the ball better - get ready for more frustration and as many I50s as points…

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
