  1. Stupid Hypothetical: we don't pick up Fullarton. Does he get a run in the GF for Brissy? (Not to mention our list management impact on Sydney's ruck stocks)
  2. I was so happy for all the long suffering WA Dees fans who got to see it. Living in Perth and not supporting one of their two clubs is so tough, it must have been so, so sweet.
  3. This year has turned gross, throw it out
  4. Not punny
  5. Gee there's a reason to be concerned that the old boys' club has finally won its way back into influence over the last month. Why is Brad Green meeting with Joe [censored] Gutnik? Is he gonna sit down with each of us amd get our opinions?
  6. Why can't the club utilise the Dees fans currently already making popular, great and relevant content, like Caden Mcdonald and Broden Kelly?
  7. Is it Brad Green's footy, soccer or fire safety background that qualifies him to conduct a board review?
  8. Well, switching presidents has been more successful for us recently than switching coaches so let's see how this shapes up.
  9. Excellent comment
  10. Good outcome. Perhaps the kind of outcome a well run club would get in trying to navigate its way out of an extraordinary and tricky circumstance. Shows the media types up for the fools they are .
  11. Max Gawn captain of this club 👏 @Demonland captain of this forum 👏
  12. If you look at MFC over the years of Goodie's tenure objectively, it is an era defined by personal care for players welfare and going the extra mile (clarrie literally moving in with the Gawns while they were expecting a baby, ensuring Kozzie remains connected with his land and family and letting Ed go to his sister's wedding) as well as of respecting the opposition (I've felt sometimes too much). And people here want to believe that the club didn't do due diligence when one of its biggest stars got traumatically injured? Please. Communication to outside world is a shocker though. I think (hope) the strategy is to passively let this wave of [censored] build and wash over us, while not actively contributing to it and trying to deal with the issues in house. Don't think Josh Mahoney would have abided this but let's see what happens.
  13. Clayton van Oliver replied to Ollie fan's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    So grateful to have witnessed his career 🙏
  14. The Jesse Hogan Football Club
  15. I would say that 1 season is not a litmus test and we should see how the full 10 years play out...
  16. Can confirm, still alive ten years on
  17. Not a great start for the 2025 tilt, but plenty of time to get into it.
  18. 'Supposedly' according to whom? Whatever standard or expectation you set in your head is your own chalice to bear. I thought we were gonna win 5 in a row. I'm not gonna blame anyone because we didnt because, really, what the [censored] would I know? You could also just try going with the ups and down of following footy.
  19. You had lions on the top of your head??
  20. Yea me too. I was young but remember him getting dragged after little to no touches to half time and then came back on to bang in a massive haul. What a memory
  21. Our 21 season was set up in the final weeks of 2020 and I imagine much would be the mindset going on inside the club at the moment. Probably need one or two new assistant coaches in the off season, to keep refining the new method and gameplay being developed, proper pre seasons into the likes of Clarrie and maybe be looking at Verrall and Jefferson to find their spots mid to end of next year. With the youth in our team, I'm watching each game as a part of long term development with zero expectations, and am already seeing far more positive signs in that space than anything we saw from 2011-16. That's cool, cos we won a [censored] flag a couple of years ago. Looks like I'm following a properly good footy club to me. Selection this week to be based on that. For me, Tholstrup and Woey J worth persevering with. Gawn to be rested and Petty/Turner/Roo combo continued. Edit: Not to mention we are still in the finals race and who knows what damage we could do. Exciting stuff!
  22. Here come the Henny Pennies. How do you burn the credit of winning a flag? Absolutely pathetic mindset and waiting til a loss the week after to get into it is even weaker
  23. Loved it 👏
  24. 'Get in the bin', surely
  25. BUT HOW ABOUT IF HE WRITES IT IN ALL CAPS!!!???
