Clayton van Oliver

Yep! Defo. He led the Melbourne chant and was unknowingly a pretty major figure in my childhood

In the 90s there was the bloke who ran the cheersquad, the name Hokko printed on the back of a Dees hoodie comes to mind but that could be misremembered through the fog of time.

I am loving this sequel!

What a cracking match. The tape can go straight to the pool-room. Put it in a soundproof box, though, so we don't have to listen to Hamish whatshisface try and ruin an all time classic MFC win on the bell with his bemoaning the fortunes of the losing team's supporters. He can [censored] right off. I still can't understand how any Dees supporter can't be absolutely rapt that this is what we are living through. Onwards. Go Dees

Stoked for you! In September I'll get to see my family for first time in 4 years. That's a decent contract's worth of time, Jacko

Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

We are relevant, talked about, hunted, 2nd on the ladder, in it up to our eyeballs and not scouring potential draft picks in July because we are looking at a 2 win, 50% season. [censored] stoked and loving this season/era. I feel blessed that we made it out of Mordor and am intrigued watching our supporter base struggling to follow a good team.

Or for Tracc and Clarrie to supply Weid properly

That'll be a long commute to Casey

Man, was this a journey

Geelong can be July premiers, that's fine

When we were a crap team it never occurred to me that our supporter trauma would be most on display after we'd become successful.

Can't imagine our standards allowing one player to not train, all the while being paid more than most on the list. However, as a playing-forward coach, two years to teach JVR... it's a tempting thought

Been using it for years. Works a treat.

Yea but no May should be taken off him 🤦‍♂️

Good, gutsy effort. Our midfield is just mint. One of my favourite moments of the day was David King saying that Steven May needed to be dragged or taken off Walker. Gave me a good laugh, that did. Oh, and club record intercepts marks 👏

The kind of deep analysis all other channels lack. Bravo

Of all the news about our club this year, this and the whole 11-3 part are the two surest indicators of what's up. Absolutely rapt. Clarrie til 2030. Just massive.

It's a fair point, but personally I would put the connection Tasmanians feel towards a team they rightly deserve as more improtant than the so-called dilution of the talent pool. The existence GWS and GCS automatically negates that being a major issue. Not like we will stop watching footy if each team gets a bye. I would personally also aim for a NT team a few years later and pump money into developing players and social programs in the top end (as well as Tassie).

Don't worry @Nasher, I got this... What have you got against Tassie? Tassie don't want them.

Gee certain posters must have lost their DL login details for the first 10 rounds but all remembered them 3 weeks ago. Settle, petals.

New life experience: appreciating the phrase 'banking wins early' on a whole new level.

I have more and more time for Buckley. On SEN with Gerard, after the latter waxes lyrical about how good the Blues are, Bucks goes: 'We are talking bout the undefeated premiers, Melbourne, right?

The AFL once again neglecting its European based supporters for whom twighlight GF timing is clearly better. Typical. s/ (I've drunk [censored] at 5am for a Hawks Swans grannie, I can bloody oath do it for a Dees one)

Yea I struggled with that too. What an absolute money-grubbing self-fellator that bloke is.
