Your Least Favourite AFL Team (Poll)
Eagles had gotten themselves right up there for me. Hard to live in the west as a vic supporter and not develop a constantly burning ember of hatred for them. However, cwood and the media sycophancy have done much in previous couple of years for them to regain the utmost of my contempt. Well earned you [censored] heads. Can't wait for the next time we face them

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
Here to celebrate a 4th straight season of knowing early on that at least my team can play good footy. So grateful for that. Our ground, our game Clarrie showed unbelievable skill and strength on the field and in himself Gawn imperious An angry Steven May is the best Steven May Don't know what 'goals' did to Jack Viney but he's got them in his sights and is gonna keep kicking them Kozzie + windsor combined pressure on the flanks is going to be my new favourite thing BBB knee be free, please. We look so much better with him holding up the cartilage A great win for the "Salo effecters" Go you mighty Dees

Before 2021 would you have taken a flag if it meant following it up with '22 and '23 and whatever is to come? I would have.

The Premiership Window Closing?
Open or shut, a window sounds like the starting point for a home base

How did you become a Demon?
Love the thread 👏 Ferndale park circa 1992. First day of (what was then) VicKick. I had chosen to follow Mum and support the Eagles (vomit) but the old man cunningly chose to put me in his old Dees jumper. When it came to my turn in saying who I barracked for I didn't want to look like an [censored] so said Melbourne. Paid off 30 years later

Farewell James Harmes
Thanks for giving your all, Harmesy, and especially the folkloric moment you captured and bottled for MFC to have forever. Best of luck

Maynard must get at least four weeks
AFL did not argue that it was a bump, so bump provision doesn't apply. He's gonna get off 🤦♂️

Maynard must get at least four weeks
Surely the response to the biomechanist's evidence is that he was therefore either premeditating the action or just careless in his duty of care, as graded.

PREGAME: Rd 20 vs Richmond
Goody has been mind-melting the competition all year, just hope he gets the balance right between experimenting and having team cohesion. I think he's been great. If we go deep I reckon his preferred setup will be Grundy in, Petty back and, sadly, Tommo to miss. If it does happen that Grundy doesn't make it back, well at least we took the second best ruckman in the comp out of the comp.

POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Brisbane
Had to go to a wedding in DE that was (appropriately) a German catholic / expat saints supporters affair. Listened to the 3rd qtr on the radio while riding my bike to the train station and watched the last qtr on the train on my phone, headphones in, making incomprehensible gestures amidst confused Dutch commuters. Floated through the wedding weekend in a crowd littered with farmers, doctors and tigers supporters. There was one Dockers fan who had only recently learned what their first pick this year will be. Re the game: live I felt so bereft in the 3rd qtr and the miraculous nature of the comeback. On replay, however, it was just a really even tussle. Even when they were right on top we still managed to stay with them. Woey Jnr's goal and Maxy's ROOST came against the flow of play but defied the Lions managing to grab the game by the throat. When that moment came, it was our leaders of the now and leaders of the future that got a grasp. The media narrative is already that we stole it, or 'how did Brisbane lose?'. Pish. We were as dominant as they were for periods and more so when it mattered. Go you beautiful Dees ❤️💙
