Palace Dees

Windsor has been excellent. So quick of mind and hands. Love him already.

If you are able to watch AFL 360, there was an excellent discussion about Clarrygate tonight. Sensible, balanced, honest and even enlightening. It involved Lewis, Riewoltd & Whately (Robbo was in attendance).

A lot of truth in what you say, but I remain angry at the arrogance of the AFL. Gus certainly had great support from the club medico's, but my understanding is that most was from outside the club and very specialised. Remember that the Maynard assault occurred in September. All indicators were that Gus was right to go. It wasn't until 6 months later the true gravity of his condition was realised. That he had the entire off season to determine his state of health was the only blessing in this saga. The thought of it happening in season and being missed is frightening. Of course, that component is not the fault of the AFL. What frustrates me is the 'we know better' attitude. Remembering the AFL drastically lowered the soft cap and TPP in covid to reduce costs. Players now get a lot more $ than they did pre covid, but the clubs ability to pay support staff (including medical) remains at those lower figures. This wouldn't be the case if they were serious about player welfare. Treat everyone who plays this game with a duty of care and make it 21 days for everyone. As supporters we can live with a player missing an extra week, even if it isn't really necessary. I'd much rather that than seeing another Brayshaw situation.

That's why it's called 'artificial ' intelligence 😤

101.00 @ TAB If my multi with Dees flag gets up then our sponsors will be very happy. There will be a Jag in the garage and a Grange on the dinner table. 🏅🏆🚘🍷

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere. It's 90% MFC covering several areas including tonight's game. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/03/06/lyon-confident-oliver-can-recapture-his-best-footy-in-2024-after-turbulent/

If ever the AFL has shown their hand about what their priority is, this is it. "The health and safety for players is paramount. 21 days will reduce the risk of too early a return to playing. Unless of course they play AFL. There it is money. We can't afford OUR players to be out that long!" Disgusting.

Keep the harbour, throw away the rest.

Nice that Longmire announced their debut in front of a huge Melbourne emblem. So that's where the MFC media people have been. 😉

Interesting that a suspended Kozzy is in the pic. Maybe they plan to play him under a pseudonym?

It's a wonder The Hun didn't go with a headline of "Oliver in hospital again!" I'm with you and most others here WCW. Can we just get behind one of the greatest players this club has seen and ignore the disrespected muck raking media outlets. If we start putting an * against any good deed he does then we sink to their level.

Debutants announced yesterday. Team announced tomorrow, is my understanding.

You think mine wasn't!!?? 🤣

In my view, supporters of other clubs are wasting their time, period! (Season must be starting soon)

Exactly. Probably the greatest Aussie song of all time!

I would make him the runner - even if just against Collingwood 😈

For sure. However, take the red from their guernsey and I wouldn't be so confident. 😠

A regular finals team debuting 3 kids straight from u/18's together, would be rare indeed. I find it more intriguing than worrying, but you raise a good point. Windsor and 'Pup' Brown to me, have shown too much NOT to be picked. I'd prefer 'The Kolt' to wait in the wings a little longer, but gee, we have got some good 'uns here.

Because the instigator is wearing black and white, 'play on' was called.

Get ready for the glass half full, glass half empty, we haven't even got f*&#'n glass, responses if we lose 🙃

I can just imagine what they are saying..... "It's only a practice match. Player fitness and trialling game plan the most important thing, the real stuff starts next game, etc, etc" I have copied the above paragraph and may use it tonight 😬

Putinesque 😈

Nearly 2 decades running Demonland and over 30k posts is a fair CV Andy. If they don't know where your head and heart is by now, they are negligent. Where do I sign the petition to get you in as at least a consultant. 😉

That's enough 😁
