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. 😜

How good is this thread 😎

It’s THE BEST!

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

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
