Felt like we ALL were this year, Doffa! Pile my thanks on to all the others, Demonland Elves?

Brad has put some (dare I say it!?) demons to bed, which is warming to see. I happened to call what turned out to be his Mum in a membership call-out shortly after he 'left' the club. She was NOT happy. Welcome back, Brad. And MRS Green, I hope!?

I worked with David Rennick, as a representative of a corporate client using his firm's property, development and construction expertise, over a number of years in a past life. Serious Dees supporter (our relationship was during the exciting '90s!), central to growing his niche firm to major status, and/but a down to earth regular guy. I expect his worth will be considerable in the new headquarters project.

Does the idea come with any "You've got mail" weight, Simon??

"eek two or three more years..." Tom? Eek indeed!

I'd be in the 'sad / whatever's best for Nev / concern for effect on remaining players' camp. Over on their board, I expected to find universal "What thu?!" but they seem not totally against it, though pretty luke warm! Themes seem to be his fit for an all-or-nothing go at 2021, and like-for-like replacement. Also mention of playing forward. And getting a good person (?DeeSpencer) in an area where they have been battling to prove they're alright?...

Jeez, isn't Membership supposed to be core business for a CLUB, which I think is in the name of both organisations?! G.Pert has certainly made a big thing of it in COVID-20! Has anyone emailed Pert directly on this? (I'm not affected; financial constraints many years ago meant I had to choose and I went the 'DrysdaleD path'?...)

His interview after the Fremantle (Sydney?) loss confirms Christian tells it like it is. So his NAB piece here seems like an insight into how players at this top level might actually fundamentally feel: that 'success' lies in getting there, being there, performing there, excelling there, staying there, enjoying there, on a weekly basis; that 'ultimate' success to them may be a happy (and rare) consequence, rather than a driver, of their week-in-week-out, career-long efforts directed at the more fundamental success? Supporters' focus is a little different, of course?...

On a serious note, Brown vs TMac?How much different was Brown's 2020 form from Tom's? Can all Brown's fall be blamed on others? Can all Tom's fall be blamed on him?

*cough* Chris Dawes (Just being a smartie; I actually didn't mind his contribution. ...and there goes my cred.)

I did Sarge n you beat me to it!? Yep, so many players, weren't there! Jacko gave my kids a twinkle of interest but Stinga finally sold them on the Dees. They've regretted it pretty much ever since, mind you...?

And Demonland going for our 'second Firsts' with increasing attention and appreciation. Nice! (Foundation Member)

...with his right foot, perhaps, as you say 58er!

As a 60-year supporter of the club, regardless of 'ultimate' (IS it, though?) success, I can't help but have special regard for players applying similar, unshakeable loyalty - with the bonus of a healthy income! - in the relatively small number of years that is their playing life. So I'm in the "Great news!" camp. 36 goals in 135 games; that's something to work on though...

From the club's website, our AFLW list manager Todd Patterson is saying "This year’s pool is strong (sic) than ever before." The exposed form must be a year old though? Re interstate players, this aspect is influenced by prospective draftees being able to nominate state/s they will go to. Anyway, I agree with WWSW; good luck to all the girls. And it's nice having TWO seasons to look forward to!?

What's everyone's collective memories of the last time/s this amount of media and D'land speculation on 'significant result X' DIDN'T end with X resulting? I'm thinking there might have been quite a few??

If Mahoney is going, it gives me shudders of memories of brutal corporate life when the club's website uses him as reporter of, and commenter on, the recent re-signings, with "WE look forward to..." And, re the review, it IS Tom Morris / Fox sports (I know, I know!) but...

Latest showing when I open link is yesterday's "We're going backwards"?... Help needed by this dinosaur! didnt see the more recent posts

I've been looking for somewhere to acknowledge the relatively honest, perceptive, enlightening and raw analysis Christian Petracca did in his post-match (oh that Goodwin would speak that way!) Tracc is with you, 3183, at 1:30-1:35 in the interview. Of the apparent many issues with the coaching, is fun-sucking another?

Indeed, Kev! In fact, seeing the names Wells, Alves, Thompson and Jolly, could a fair team be made of the exports who then tasted the premiership success we have missed? Throw in Chippa and the name-escapes-me fella who came to us with a Kangas flag and then got 3 with the Loyons. Well, maybe an AFLX team anyway? Who else? p.s. I don't begrudge Stan Alves. That North premiership was just a little bit Melbourne for me in the dark 70s...

Haven't read all 7 pages here, so not sure where the TMac consensus(?) has got to (and I also couldn't get the game), but he rates special mention on the Club's 'Stats That Matter' commentary. Changes anyone's position?

Deever, no! Elephant...Room...

Cue "discussion" of Us v Lions = 1 goal, Bombers v Lions 10 goals?...

Goodwin in his presser pretty clearly put the responsibility on (our) Bailey, in a 'poor-discipline-the player(s)-will/must-learn-from-it' way. NO reference to any umpiring aspect...
