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!

(Season must be starting soon)

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!!!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
