  1. Amazing how hope, faith and expectation return after a win. After pretending to be detached from footy and behaving like a wise and sensible adult trying to get through the Freud series on net flix ) I am reading DL, looking at stats and generally behaving like an excited kid. My Collingwood supporting wife already has head in hands and using profane language to describe my elevated mood. Amazing what an emotional game this is, and how irrational is our loyalty, prejudices and thought process..
  2. Hate the headline “we want to be more like Collingwood” Disagree, we have our own history, culture, players and supporters. Taken in proper context, Kates comments are probably fair enough but I hate the reference to Collingwood. The things that Kate refers to such as membership growth and noisy support etc comes pure and simple from having a team that consistently wins games over the journey. Winning and playing a brand of footy that fans love to watch. So Dees fans feel proud and in love with their team and club.
  3. Bingo spot on. Interesting to read Pies supporters bagging their team after one game. Comments around injuries, a defence hopeless without Murphy and Howe, a hopeless forward in Ash Johnson and new recruit Lachie Schultz, a lack of connection into the forward zone etc etc. Sound familiar? Hmm, a little perspective required.
  4. Total agreement, the whole Grundy thing reflects very poorly on the club particularly the coach. As you say Earl a stuff up.
  5. Join the club. I’ve been on the site for years and it remains a mystery. That is its charm and intrigue. Like Seinfeld It’s a thread about nothing. The other threads purport to be about something whereas this thread is really about nothing. Some odd balls , eccentrics, and philosophers pretend it has a deeper meaning particularly with the constant reference to bananas. For a long time I thought this was Freudian mumbo jumbo however it defies analysis and like life has no meaning. It’s just nonsense.
  6. “The tone” of this thread has suddenly gone down a few pegs.
  7. Only appears sweet and innocent. Her crush on the boys appears sweet but is it really innocent?
  8. Don’t know what’s happened to Chandler. His form early 23 was terrific. For a short period he became a real excitement machine. Yet he went off the boil late 23 and so far this season has been underwhelming. He needs to cement his position this year or may well fall by the wayside. Hoping to see some of that 23 form but beginning to have serious doubts.
  9. Agreed. I really don’t know why we pay attention to the footy media. I suppose it’s hard to avoid and when you do read the comments it’s frustrating and annoying. . It’s a world influenced by media. Social media has just made it a lot worse. Standards have dropped and commentators exhibit their biases, laziness and need to be noticed. We need to avoid them all. I now avoid most of the mainstream commercial media particularly Murdoch based organisations. They are appalling. Dunstall is bad but he has many mates. Tell me a good one. However, their laziness and lack of homework is annoying. Stick with DL for information, commentary and spirited debate.
  10. Ok Froggy I accept that you have made positive comments about ANB but that you would like to see improvements in his disposal. Fair enough. However, ANB seems to attract forensic comment over his skills. There is not a player out there without a weakness or not prone to error. However it’s best to look at a players strengths and what he brings to the team. In most cases a players strengths will outweigh his weaknesses. So you accept the weaknesses if on balance he brings added value to the team. At the end of the day, ANB is a premiership player whose efforts that day contributed to a famous victory. I’m sure he had his fumbles along the way. I seem to remember another premiership player nicknamed Froggy who was slow, turned like the Queen Mary and kicked wobbly old punts that were lucky to stretch beyond 50m but who happened to kick the winning goal.
  11. True. Sir Les was entertaining and funny and of course a great Ambassador for the country.
  12. Does he have any aggressive aggro though ? Or will he be pushed aside?
  13. Robbo makes Mike Sheahan seem like Einstein ! Robbo seems such an appropriate name. Conveys a suitable bogan image of a character with poor habits and not too many neurons. A la Sir Les Patterson. Apologies to all the Robbos out there!
