    We will get the chance to knock the Pies out of the finals, and Maynard out of the park!
  2. I bow to your more intimate knowledge of him as a player, and you may be right in that rookie level is the right assessment of him. I have only seen 4 full games of him on TV eg. National Champs and Casey (where he impressed me more than Duursma did). I like his attitude to the game and seems to have a pretty good footy IQ. He also had a blinder later in the year for his local team, 25+ possessions and 5.2. I certainly rate him higher than I did Taj in his year. Anyway, if we get to rookie him then everyone will be happy. Fingers crossed.
  3. Yeah, there has to be logic to it. Maybe a rookie spot is our only real choice if we want him. I'd just hate to lose a father/son that can play.
  4. Gee, the FD has me well and truly covered, but that seems a risky strategy to me.
  5. Yep. The amount of ads is why I've stopped listening. You are right, they can't have more. It's already more than a 3rd of airtime. I listen to the occasional Corn free breakfast replay (which doesn't include the ads). La Dee-vina makes some good observations, but you'd still be a tad nervous as an employee.

    Agree, but the 10% of worthwhile content is not worth the pain of the rest IMO. You may have seen my similar post re him a few days ago. There is enough sh*t happening in this world without voluntarily reading it on a fan forum.

    I can highly recommend the "Ignore" option WCW. I knew it existed, but only just found it yesterday. Only one person needed actioning, but it has made visiting Demonland so much less frustrating.

    I have no problem with 1 game a year in Alice. Quite like it in fact. We have a longish history there now and a growing fan base as well. We have done some good work there of which I'm proud of the club for. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture and applaud the club for instigating projects like the Santa Teresa Oval Project as well other positive community work.
  10. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/11/12/why-theres-a-lot-to-like-about-the-drafts-best-key-defender/ Mick Ablett is a respected judge of young talent. He ranks O'Sullivan above Curtin and after re-watching the Allies vs WA match, played mid year, I can see why. O'Sullivan was absolutely dominant, not so Curtin. That said, Curtin was on Walter so had a bigger task. The game is recommended viewing as Sanders also played very well.
  11. I saw it and was amazed how many times Brisbane kicked it into a Brisbane free front half. Must admit it was a gutsy win, but they looked a lot better against us last week.
  12. If things go our way tomorrow, what's the best result in today's Adel vs Bris? Eg. what gives us the best chance of continued home finals?
  13. Fortunately, BT doesn't do VFL Unfortunately, he still does AFL
  14. More importantly, Ron is. Love it. Thank you.

    I wouldn't open up anything Herald-Sun even if my Fish 'n Chips were wrapped inside. Yes, I'm old enough to remember when they did that.
  16. Not quite. The socks! 😉
  17. Nice sentiment. But you think he could get the kit right! He does the Premiership posters FFS!
  18. I was disappointed he only mentioned 3 GF defeats. 6 of Barassi's 10 flags were against Collingwood. I be happy to talk to Eddie about them any day.
  19. Despite the occasional frustrations and annoyances, today was a reminder of how great our sport and the general football community is. To me, it also emphasised that Melbourne sits clearly on top. Loved the man. Love the club. ❤️💙

    Definitely the redhead (Jersey) Anything B & W belongs on a barby. 🐄🔥

    We need to remind him that Tongala is closer to the MCG than it is to Geelong 🤗
  22. Ditto and ditto!

    You really are the Carl Ditterich of Demonland, 58er. You occasionally contribute worthwhile thoughts, but obviously feel compelled to 'take out' someone along the way. What Reevesy is saying is that if Curtain is available at 6 and we weren't going to pick him anyway, why not trade IF we had forewarned GWS and they'd agreed to the deal. Your continual sniping of posters is getting quite tiresome.
  24. Paxy would be a huge loss. She is such a great player and inspiration. That said, there is still so much talent in this team. They will want to prove a point after Saturday. Bring it on!

    Opening Demonland is like buying a packet of cigarettes. Graphic warnings front and back. I'm happy if it dissuades people from smoking, but saddened at what it and other actions are doing to Demonland.
