Nicely posited, representing many of us. I'm most probably much older than you, Picket Fence, so please excuse me if I do only the follow-up work after your dismemberment of the Loved One. 

 

Why are we dismembering Gerry Humphries?

Exactly.  Probably the greatest Aussie song of all time!

Well hasn’t that news put a spring back in our step and lightened our hearts. Now bring on 2024 and the naysayers be damned.❤️💙💕💕💕

Atleast Collingwood cant boo Brayshaw and they definitely would have.

Dont see any point in booing Oliver.  Boo him for being a naughty boy??

I cant see  SCG booing him.

Supporters of any club who choose to boo Clarrie would be wasting their time and energy. It would be water off a duck’s back.

In my view, supporters of other clubs are wasting their time, period!

I had the ultimate respect and admiration for Gerry Humphries (...'oh Baby I love you so..') back in the early days, and held similar regard for those standing on Blueberry Hill in a 'red dress' and then 'walking' and coming to me...', etc. Just thought PFence was talking about unleashing vitriol to the new 'Loved One' in Maynard, and in terms of logic, I agree with that premise, intended or not by PFence (I should have read deeper into the topic for actual clarification, sorry)!

YEP!! There have been a few of these.

But I suspect we won't hear much from them. 

Doom and Gloomers gonna doom and gloom

They're very loud until they're not.

Fear not, we'll hear plenty from the Doom and Gloomers (sounds like a goth version of Bay City Rollers) this season. 

Any loss and they'll pop back for a 'just being realistic, telling it like it is, a good team would never lose that game, same old problems yadda, yadda yadda' truth telling session.

And of course they'll be back in force after our inevitable post bye losses and/or sub par performances that are in part a result of fatigue from loading, causing the now annual Demomnland knickers in a knot meltdown.

A number of tickets from our allocation for Opening Round have become available. Whatever tickets we don’t use we have to give back to Sydney. Needless to say we’d rather OUR fans use them. If interested, please email:

for the Ticketek link to purchase.

These tickets are for seats in Bays 2 and 3 in the Bradman Stand.

Any problems/issues please PM me  

 

Will be making the trip up. Tickets still available? Family of 4


Delighted for the young debutants.

Very sad that Brayshaw had to retire but it’s opened the door for Howes. The cycle of life.

best of luck Caleb and Blake in your first games. I hope you both have long and distinguished careers with the red and blue.

go dees

Bring on the Swans! Bloody excited for footy to be back 

 

Also really looking forward to see what Billings can do. Always seemed like he had more potential in him than what he had previously done for the saints so I hope he can fulfil it for us.

Finding out for you now, Josh. I’ll PM you in due course 👍🏽

Sydney record at the SCG in 2023 was not that formidable. In fact they struggled against the better teams. Feeling a lot better about Thursday night :)

  • def Hawthorn (81pts)
  • Lost to Port (2pts)
  • Lost to Giants (1 pt)
  • Lost to Freo (17 pts)
  • Def Carlton (26 pts)
  • Lost to St K (14pts)
  • Def West Coast (151pts)
  • Draw geelong 
  • Def Dogs (2pts)
  • Def Gold Coast (24pts)
  • Lost to Melb (21 pts)

Debut for the club yes, not 1st game (debut) of league footy.

So if Goody is adamant he will not give debuts of any sort to players playing as a sub would Tmac be a chance?

Can play up forward, in defence and as a 2nd ruck (if Shaq has a barry), does his form warrant it my trusted track watchers?

Most probably will go with a small for the smaller SCG.

TMAC??? this aint a remake of the Titanic..

NO CHANCE!

Assume you can still grab a rising star nom in round zero. Gotta be coming home this week!

Many thanks for the above D9.  Seriously flawed I know but i've now warmed to Brad Scott (Bombers maybe under him). 

What a classy response to a lazy piece of compering.  

Who decided to give Caro a microphone, that's what I want to know.

Her hatred has mysteriously got something to do with Goodwin in my OP

 

All three debutants are skilled ball users. Great move by the coaches to address a weakness and try to find the right balance. Pumped for Thurs night now. Go Dees!

If Clarry does, or when he plays, I believe his challenge will be dealing with some sledging. Hope it fires him up. He seems to loves niggle and can be a smart [censored]. Umpires have shown that they don't give him much love. Hope he doesn't explode/implode, otherwise all teams will be at him.

Need an enforcer! 

Won’t bother Claz even a BIT mate, count on that!!!

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
