I would say pound for pound he would be one of the strongest players about.

He just shakes tackles off and that goal of his was a perfect example.

Got tackled and caught and didn’t use a Hand pass option and burned a team mate and a goal in the third. 

Hit to use the first option more IMO.

This is incredible and I don't know how to feel about it. Part of me says get him in if he gets through the session, another part says hold him back a week to make sure there aren't going to be issues. I just think of last season with Oliver and how he pushed himself just that little bit too hard when he was only a week away and set himself back another month.

But as this is the positive thread I'll just say I'm happy to hear he's back on the track!

That  wasn’t necessarily Clarries hammy if you really think about it.

I recently bought a Mash Five Hundred - part of the modern 'retro bike' renaissance. Pretty chuffed with it.  

Mash Five Hundred Green 650 cc | Mash Motorcycles

 

There goodLooking bikes mate.

Ironically aren't they 400 cc?

They put out the same horses as my 500 but yours is a good 27 kegs lighter which probably makes the world of difference.

Yours reminds me of the Kawasaki retro w series a few moons ago.

The good thing bout these bikes is they have good resale.

My Enfield with a full tank weighs about 195 which is a lot for me.

The power to weight ratio for a 500 isn't great.

Could be time for a trade.

Thanks Skuit.

Ps love the extended saddle. It's similar to mine. Great for passengers or panniers.

It's just a part of his game though.

Not saying your wrong but that's just Viney's nature.

Believes in his own strength and that's why he kicks goals like he did v Swans. He's a bull.

Like Kozzies leap you just sometimes gotta take the bad with the good.

I love both Kossie and Jack but in a totally disciplined team they are outside team rules at times. This holds you back as a team if you allow each player to burn team mates or as Kossie does fly stupidly. He has not hit one mark really yet. 

In 2021 Indont think this was an issue and it should not be now. But it is it’s like Maxy not responding ( and other players) to Brody’s tactics last week.
It’s a coaching weakness and why goody is not recognised as a good game day tactician. 
plan B is not there generally IMO.

No because you are Half empty from head to toe. Not in your nature to compliment. 

To be fair to Roost it far, they were the most confident Demon supporter I have ever witnessed last year. This year though, it’s like their account has been hacked.

Yes and that’s the aim that should be for our players as WCW. 
Sure we will see a much improved Dees team on Sunday. Selection and performance. We don’t play two baddies in a row usually Go Dees

Always wanted to visit India.

Is it true what they say?

I’m not sure… what do they say? 🤣
 

EDIT: haha, I missed the post after the one I’m responding to. I never had that problem fortunately as I was very careful about where I ate. I actually put on weight while I was there!  But I do know many people who’d attest to the truth in those words.

So, big positive. So far every club that has moved Brodie Grundy on has won the premiership the following year.

You will smell smells you've never ever experienced, good and bad. 🙃

The food is great in my experience although I wouldn’t recommend buying from street vendors. The driving is mental. Traffic keeps moving though.

Agreed, food is reference to the good smells 😁 food is amazing, I went vegetarian the whole time there, the flavours and taste were incredible. Driving is insane, basically no road rules adhered to, just incessant beeping to let others know where they are and what they want to do, chaotic but works somehow!

Took an Uber to travel 50ks once. Thought I’d never see my family again. Definitely used up a few of my 9 lives

No need to, BDA. Pretty much every thread eventually goes the way of negativity regardless of the topic. 😑

But your suggestion is interesting in that a negative news thread would likely be the only thread to rival the No T$ No BS thread in terms of length. 😜

My new lodgings. Ima set up a nice lil corner here and bunk down permanently. I’m also the self-appointed gatekeeper. It’s a three strikes and you’re out situation. So tread carefully, fellow DL-ers. Looking at you, Roost.

Ran into Kate y'day before Pink's final concert.  The positive take aways...

👉🏼  Clarry's on track take no notice of extreme media views to the contrary

👉🏼  Caulfield's on track just a few hurdles to get over and all going well we're aiming for 2025 take off

👉🏼  We pushed back against usual Cattery draw and won that battle.  There was a trade off and blow back but i'll leave that given the nature of thread

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
