GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Geelong

[kev martin 9,859]

Hoping for a lift from Chandler, he was kicking some rippers earlier on, c'mon Kade hit the goals with some X factor. 

I feel the same about Kossie. Given it his "special outing" in the Alice next week, tonight wouldn't be a bad time to turn it on and create some consistency. 

Tracc to keep going, I can see him frequently breaking the lines. 

Over handballing and balls to players under pressure have been a problem. Hoping for some smart footy and not getting lost for space on those shallow wings.

Go Dees.

Hawkins is actually a really really nice down to earth guy off the field. He's spent a lot of his own time with a friend's kid in the last two years who was battling aggressive cancer, and is a mad Geelong supporter.

But for some reason, when he plays football, he is just the worst. Maybe it's the stuff he gets away with, the blatant holding and pushing, the 'accidental' elbows, and the greasy limbs that do my head in. 

Yea your right, I've heard some of the good things he does. I guess  he just plays the game hard. I don't like his wayward elbows but I think he is a very good footballer. Even at his age I wouldn't mind having him our team.

Windy Hills urinal circumnavigated the oval ;)

If youd been there, you'd know

Does that mean it was the oval?

It takes a special type of moron to schedule a game in Geelong on the night of the winter solstice when the MCG is vacant until Sunday. 

Just play it in Siberia and call it a day.

Just reinforces how deeply the AFL (and related Corporate Elites / benefactors) are in bed with the Cats.

Some serious $$ and conflicts of interest happening with decision making.

Even more so than the regular AFL tripe/bias they dish up.

Watching and supporting this sport feels like we have to spend time with these morons week in and week out. 

If these people were acquaintances or friends of friends, I wouldn't be spending time with them or returning their calls.

Fingers crossed the Demons win tonight! 🤞

Adam Tomlinson stiff to be dropped.

It will be a very hostile crowd down at the Cattery.

But let's hope we can get over the line by a few points.

GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

Was it Windy Hill or Princes Park that was reputed to have the longest public urinal in the world i'd seen it but cant remember  which ground.  I recall some footy diehards being upset when it was dismantled. Where would you put it  ffs?  In a museum?

the whole of windy hill was just one big urinal

most punters didn't bother going to the toilet sheds ... unless they were good swimmers

Tell me about it. I’ve been at work since 8 and I am so done.

Chandler hit the post twice against collingwood so he's getting closer!

I have, actually. Once you get past the changing dirty nappies phase It seems it’s smooth sailing for the rest of the journey! That is, if you lay the right foundations. 😉 I have three beautiful sons who have been nothing but an absolute joy to raise. I’m ridiculously proud of the men they’ve become. I manufacture great humans, even if I do say so myself. 😁

just a crying shame none of them like footy 😭

Oh come on now tell me it rains lemonade.Sounds like a yanky sitcom of MY THREE SONS.You have a perfect life and get to support the DEES.

This is the longest shortest day of the year ever!

Good morning DemonWorld........and what a fine morning it it’s in my part of the world....

woke up this morning (always a good way to start the day given my age), have showered, shaved and done the other thing. Had a healthy breakfast and just now sipping coffee and savouring the prospect of a great win in the offing.

We will declaw the cats in t’the third after spending the first quarter seeing what they bring to the table and then upping our pressure to take the game away from them and leave their season in a smouldering heap of ashes.

so, as you see, I am feeling confident.

Damn! It’s good to be alive and a Demon supporter.

Dees to win.

Today feels longer than the 9 day break it's been.

You're lucky you only had sons and no teenage girls.

Would take 1000 dirty nappies over a day with 13 year old girl.

I'm taking one on a road trip to Alice Springs next week !!!!

[Deebauched 1,220]

Heading off to the store to get a bottle of whisky and a packet of smokes+ bucket of ice. Bucket will come in handy if i have to vomit after Hawkins and Scott hug after the game.

Thai man making a racket next door renovating his shophouse. Cant hear myself think. 

I think dees have this . Anyone know who the umpures are?

Well, it is Geelong's home game (why we usually play Geelong only once and it's always their home game is a question worth asking), so if it was at the MCG we'd have to give up another home game & Geelong would have to get one somewhere else. 

Not sure what the solstice has to do with anything. The last time the Geelong sunset was before 7:20 was 31/3 and that was only because of daylight saving!

Invite the thai man in for a scotch and a smoke he might bring over some thai food that would cover tea tonight

I really meant between the goals, not "hit the goals".😂l

Agree with you, he was getting closer. Hope it doesn't turn into the yips.
