Was Caleb Windsor at the game?

The only two missing from our full list were Maysie and Tracc. Even Lachie Hunter was there and actually deserves a medal for not being spotted anywhere. I mean, I spotted SpargiPants and he’s smaller than LH. I was on the boundary waiting to leave the ground  and SpargiPants was sitting on the bench by himself except for the guy on his laptop (Alex) who’s always there early. Spargz says what are you doing? I told him we have to stay put ‘til after the GC fireworks 🙄 I says what are you doing? He didn’t even look at Alex, just pointed in his direction as says “learning his job… just in case” then looked down at his leg. 😂

There's been some talk on here about Pert and Roffey.

I stay for the team leaving the ground each week, and each winning game at the G this year, Roffey's been at the gate acknowledging the team and Maybe its me, but Iv'e noiced Clarry and Kate hug in joy each time. Not staged.

Oliver has been a class act this year given the talk he's had to put up with and his hand injury etc.

As Dwayne Russel said on the weekend, in 2025 the Dees get back a fit Oliver and Trac and JVR has his break out year (supported by Disco) and posed the question why can't the Dees bounce back quickly. I agree.

Then Gawn re-signs and I bet Viney at some stage.

A couple of line coach mods and strategic approach with the talent list and  I'm bullish.

The 8 varies each year by 3 teams out and 3 new teams in. Same this year.

The Dees will be one of those three in.

Kate is at the top of the race after losses, too. Or outside the rooms. Just sayin’

Clarrie is super affectionate and playful… ripe for the hugging. 😁 One thing you can take to the bank… he bloody loves being a Demon. He doesn’t hide the fact and likely wouldn’t know how to. He’d make a terrible poker player. 😂

Correct on the losses, but when we win, I'm seeing unbridled joy of Clarry that Kate repsonds likewise.  That's investment in a club if ever I saw it.

Thanks for the previous post - essential reading IMO

I really enjoyed the way the club came together on Saturday. The photo of the players at the start of the game and at the end as a memory/symbol of a playing group who had come out to get the win but above all to enjoy the day was a simple but effective gesture for the playing group and the demon community at large to see as a club who despite heavy media coverage is still as a whole united.

As Jack Viney explained in his post game MFC media interview, there was a simple message from coaches and the general playing group to simply go out there and enjoy the game. I think the pressure being off now that we out of the finals race obviously helps but I just thought the players looks so much more relaxed and didn't tighten up as much with the ball nearly as much as previous weeks.

We've seen it across the season but again seeing the players make an effort to get to individuals like they did with Kozzy after his hard-running goal assist to Melk with encouragement and support was so pleasing to see. The joy they all had when they got around Judd after his first goal was also heart warming. On multiple occasions I saw players after congratulating the player who made the play or laid the tackle then go on to other players for a high five as they went back to their position. Thats playing with genuine joy and positivity. So good.

We can get so caught up with media whirlwinds around individual players situations that we forget that there's a majority of our list that have genuine care and enjoyment playing for one another and bringing focus to that is important.

I think Jesse will stay.

I have only seen the game on replay.  Did we play really well or did the Suns put in there traditional effort against us?

My very good mail has it that Trac wasn't happy with this initial press release after his injury. It was too footy centric where he would have prefered a bit more sympathy towards the seriousness of the injury and that footy is taking a back seat whilst he concentrates on his health and the timeline will look after itself. This on top of everything else this year has led to leaks from his management, particularly wanting to play for a club with a bigger following so he can play in front of bigger crowds and set himself up more after footy.

He's been alone with his thoughts for too long and not been around the club. He needs a cuddle and reassurance and we'll get him back on side. He will be held to his contract.

 

 

well if thats the case keep your thoughts within the club. i see nothing wrong with that statement of facts.

Anyone who thinks Viney is “as good as gone” is a moron.

God: Ethan?

Ethan Tremblay: Sup?

God: You’ve done it again.
