    thanks froggy, i hadn't thought of that

    wish the italians then were banned and we could have the italian roman-catholic athletes (ira) competing for the papacy 

    My WAFL team is named by some the “garlic munchers” so I like the Italians.

    can anyone explain to me how the the russian orthodox church (roc) is able to field a team at the winter olympics?

    I think Russian is still banned from international sport for doping. Which allows it athletes to rep other organisations.

    Hey Pickety-poo! It’s me! You said you’d call me the next day but never did. I guess you must’ve lost my number. Clearly, writing it on your forehead with a sharpie wasn’t enough. So I had to resort to joining this site and pretending to be a crazy Demons fan. At least, the Demons fan bit is pretending. I’ve had my wedding dress picked out since that magical night when we got rather ‘conversational’ and every time I hear ‘Fox on the Run’ I think of you, and not just because it’s a Sweet song. 

    Remember this… it’s NOT stalking unless and until I’m served with a restraining order. 

    P.S. I love what you’ve done with the front of your house.

    So you are pretending to be a Demon supporter?

    They have been ordinary since the league cracked down on paper bag payments. That made it very difficult for them to go out and buy the best players. They failed to adapted to the new system in the similar way that the MFC did in the 60'S. 

    Indeed, it has been fantastic watching them suffering over the years. If only it could last another 57 years.

    For years the only time I hear from him is when he shoots me a snarky text after a Melbourne loss. Especially if it’s at the hands of Carlton.
    🤔 Funny thing, I haven’t heard from him in quite a while. 😁

    If I can remember Carlton correctly, they had some success in the 80's. Also a few good coaches had gone there and failed big time. I pity any Carlton coach and player. It a very thankless task.

    I hope you guys, and everyone else on here, actually hang on well beyond the due date for that (last day of September, 2025), but a 4peat would put the C'ood'nt's record to the sword...well, to the dagger at least. If they'd played 1930 under the current, longstanding grand final arrangements, Geelong would have been premiers. So, a pure, 21st century, 4peat will trump the dodgy early 20th century one!

    But Geelong is owned by Gawn!

    I read this on their wiki page.

    Froggy I was unaware you were unwell.

    Please accept my apology and I hope you are on the mend soon. The lily pad will not be the same without your contributions.

    I hope the flag is helping you mend and watching the replay is not hindering your exercise.

    All the best for a safe and happy xmas and new year, regards from your mate on the other side of the pond, Redleg.

    Thank you Red.

    Watching the Grand final was great except the second and beginning of the third quarter’s. l am much more emotional since my stroke and was thinking around this time “here we go again”. But that was before the beginning of the onslaught!

    Finally, I can watch the Dees win a Grand final on YouTube LOL.

    Unfortunately, there is another regular poster that have a greater loss than me. So my deepest sympathy go our to them.

    As a Prime Minister once said “life is not meant to be easy”. But sometimes it can be really unfair.

    If the Dees can win three of the next five AFL Grand finals, we all should feel a little better.

    Life takes us in different directions and hopefully Jesse is happy at GWS, but he must have watched the GF with a lot of “what if” thoughts.

    No I wasn’t talking about Jesse, Maurisey got it in his post above.

    Hiw are the lily pads in WA Froggy?

    It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club.

    I must have watched the Grand final onslaught at least 57 times and it keeps getting better. I still find it hard to believe the Dees won.

    My rehab is going slow after the stroke and it taking much longer then I hoped to get full functionality back to my right side. Fatigue is still an issue. But on a lighter note WA is opening up on the 5 February 2022.

    I am hoping 2022 is again the year of the Demons, as only one Grand final win in the past 57 years is not enough. Plus the winning feeling is intoxicating. GO THE DEES! 
    Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all.

    He’s back, having grown about 21 cms and pretending to be a 2022 draft possibility, playing in South Australia with West Adelaide.

    Will be drafted next year, ensuring the thread continues for another 10-15 years.

    How ironic if we draft him again.

    Jesse Hogan?
