POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning (also Europe) and a Sunday morning with the replay. Few things to add (though I’m sure it’s all been said) last week the team disposal was up a notch but Tracc’s was down despite his huge influence otherwise. This week his standard was up with most of the rest of the team and it had a big impact. I reckon the same is coming from Brayshaw. He is getting in good spots, seems to be running back harder, but had three shocking kicks in the first three qtrs. That being said, he also put that absolute bullet onto Weid’s chest in the third, which the weed unfortunately missed. It shows that Brayshaw does still have it, is still developing, and given our general resurgence I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns the corner really soon. Speaking of resurgence, I am just so proud of the culture at the club. Of note are some of the little connections between certain players after goals or when on the bench. I am loving the Harley and Kozzie big and little brother thing that is going on. Harl’s just seems so proud of Koz every time he does anything, but Bennell also has a maturity about him that I never saw in his previous iterations at the suns and freo. I reckon he, as well as Uncle Nev, are working hard to keep kozzie in line and on track to fulfill his immense potential. Just stoked. Love the winning feeling and may the Hawks be in for six decades of let down and mediocrity.

Racial Vilification of Harley Bennell
Indeed the same can be said as regards the context of ‘canon law’ and ‘bugger’

The Oscar McDonald Appreciation Thread
I think you’re going for ‘lethargic.’ Laconic denotes Lacedaemonians, being Spartans, who were known for their verbal brevity. edit: sp

Racial Vilification of Harley Bennell
The context of racism against historically diminished people is different to racism against people of European heritage, just because of the nature of historical events. The children of perpetrators do not inherit the crime. The children of victims do inherit the suffering. Punkt.

Ross Lyon analysis of lack of scoring
Ever considered just saying it quietly to yourself? Or just don’t hit enter after every post of outrage and rather build them up to just send one nonsensical and flabbergasted rant per day, rather than the usual squillion? Just my opinion.

Melbourne vs Essendon Postponed
Your ignorance does not excuse how offensive this is to the thousands of people in healthcare who have been working tirelessly, globally, actually dealing with the severities of it. Get your head out of your [censored], bloody pathetic.

Eddie’s jumper feud with Kochie just escalated
Collingwood want a monopoly on prison bars.. How ironic.

Oliver: The Forgotten Superstar?
Agreed. For some reason he has also been copping [censored] rather than accolades since day dot in the media

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
I work in tourism in NL, everything is shut down and messages from people working in medical care say that the fan has not yet been hit. Am one of many freelancers who have just lost prob months of income. We had to cancel our wedding for August. Hate to say it folks but it will all be cancelled soon. I like the idea of a quarantined 8 week season, and would not give two [censored] about an asterix next to it. But as of this week, the idea of doing anything but suspending it all would be ridiculed here. Get inside Dees, never before has sitting on your bum been so crucial to world health. The positive is that, in the face of great social threat, the power of social unity emerges. We are seeing it here, everyone is in it together and no matter the uncertainty, solidarity will remain throughout. Let’s see what happens. Strength and love to everyone. Don't panic; isolate yourselves.

A huge thanks to all track reporters from a very cold Amsterdam, as well as to Andy, Nasher et al. Excitement brewing. Go Dees.

Great post.

Adem Yze - Assistant Coach?
Was at his first match at Whitten oval against the Roys, loved shouting Oooooze for years thereafter. Would love this appointment. Make it happen Dees.

Many won't get what you're saying as it flies in the face of our general acculturation regarding such things. I think you're bang on.

New Captain
Jesus some of the comments on here. Trade Tracc, trade Brayshaw, May collecting his super and nothing more etc... If this year has taught me anything it's that we need this ?? as an emoticon option on Demonland for 2020.

Most Sackings in a Year
Bloody glad that Beelzebub, SWYL, TGR, PF and the rest of the itchy nut crew are miles away from managing our list or having any say in anything. You blokes need to calm the farm, god I'd hate to be in a tight spot with you next to me. All* decent posters and genuine supporters but this is a journey. Yea if we stuff up next year then you'll be shown to be correct, but a coach doesn't get their team to a PF by fluke, and clubs don't establish sustainability by jerking their knee at the slightest obstacle. Of course Goody gets a mulligan season. Until next year we won't know. So just chill. Edit: *mostly decent posters
