Who are you tipping this weekend and what are the best results for the Demons?
There's only one day in that month that actually matters. We've won 13 but sadly only 1 in the last 57 years.

And hence it's a Dry July for only some teams. That is the point. It's raining goals in Geelong. Not so dry July for them. Please don't take this light-hearted thread so seriously.
It came from the Useless Statistics Facebook page so you're bang on the money. Have a drink on me in August.
Dry July is a concept where sone people take the opportunity not to drink alcohol during the month of July and hence Dry July. Dry July here is a play on that but the wins drying up for some teams.
Season's not over yet. Well maybe for the Dockers ...
I agree but I still think we should have come out on the front foot with this messaging. Managing or Omitting Grundy for whatever reasons be they to hone his forward craft for Goody's reasons above or even manage any soreness was always going to create media hysteria. We should have been ready for that. I think his omission was leaked due to Tom Morris' involvement in the "breaking" of this story. We need to look at plugging this hole because we've been good in this area (not leaking) over the last few years. In addition we needed to be ahead of this story so we could have at least put our narrative out there. Yes the media will always be the media and put their own spin on it but when you're on the back foot you always look like your hiding something. Probably not the case here but when the media gets to frame the narrative it spreads like wildfire.
