Delusional demon 82

Either way its not worth being embarrassed week 1 of the finals and papering over coaching and list cracks in this club , I think making finals we’ll be far too easily satisfied just like the players

Horrendously bad choke from carlton GWS went from 2 goals 11 behinds to 6 goals 12 behinds in that last quarter - 200% more goals in the last quarter

Carltank might give us a run for our money

Norf supporters now getting upset at the dorks trying to out tank them

Beat me to it trout ?

Another positive is that dermie had to sit through and commentate that game

How many hawks pet memberships will get microwaved tonight ? 10,000?

Agree like a kick in the nuts, at the time it felt like it was going to cost us finals again, off the back of missing in 2017 by a bees [censored] - I was genuinely flat for about 24 hours after that loss. Still can’t stand Zach touhey ! The only redemption was that we then knocked those [censored] out in the elim final , but it probably cost us a top 3 finish with our high % . Ah well maybe if we don’t lose that one we don’t hang on and beat west coast in rd 22 or even Adelaide the following week in which we almost fluffed a 20+ point lead in the last quarter.

The boys were quite composed during the last 90 seconds, I must admit when melksham gave away that free kick with about 14 seconds left in our forward half my MFCSS kicked in I did think about that final thrust forward a couple of years ago when the cats beat us at the cattery after the siren going end to end very quickly , btw after the umps missed a clear free to brayshaw iirc in our 50 !!! surprised that this time Dougal Howard took so long to kick it and then Kent wheeled around and looked for a option before centring the ball with about 2 or 3 seconds left maybe less. Although I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if the ump plucked another rubbish 50m penalty out from nowhere for a phantom demon player running though the protected zone and Kent slotted it after the siren petracca goal should be in GOTY contention but won’t because of the rubbish goal line controversy - I guarantee the media outrage would not be there if it were the saints that did that to us , beyond ridiculous that this is still being talked about

I expect to be going ‘insane in the tim membrane ‘ tonight with OMac coughing up 4 majors after being caught 5 meters off his opponent on the lead , as usual Saints pressure and outside run will put our defence under enormous pressure tonight . and conversely our forwards will add little pressure on the other end , I hope some of them watched the cats v dogs last night , I don’t think we’ve ever been capable of that sort of pressure (except in those two finals at the G in 2018)

OMac to go to Membrey ?? Get set for a demonland meltdown in the game day thread tomorrow night !!!

Would be great to have Balme back, but would he want to come back to us after 96/97 ?? I know none of those administrators and board still remain but .... he was a great coach but like the reverend was hampered by off field rubbish going on at the club in the 90s early 00s and key injuries interestingly Clarko was coached by Balme at the dees throw in a Jesse hogan return for a lazy 4th rounder and this would be romanticising of the mills and boon kind !

[censored] I’d be [censored] if I were nibbler. What is the difference in the action that makes its 3 weeks more?? - surely not the outcome if the player ended up more concussed than the other , I thought they were supposed to judge the action or does that only apply or not apply if they want to get a star hawthorn or cats player off on a technicality? the logical part of my brain says that this isn’t all comprised, but it I’m really struggling atm to see how it’s not Lynch decision , we’ll I’m not surprised either

Funny I thought the same thing when I saw it earlier ... the tough guy that hit a young player

See from 2.30 on the clip - what a pack of thugs

Seriously if your going to bump someone at least have the courage to do it when they don’t have their head over the ball - see exhibit A for a fair and hard bump

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/league-lays-down-the-law-on-grand-final-repercussions-20020926-gdumq8.html ha this is classic from Demetriou laying down the law only 2 years later So we had two of our youngest players taken out in the early part of the grand final, Sheedy decided to play the thug card , we had no chance to stay competitive with those [censored] at least the ox took on someone his own size x 3 [censored] I hate Essendon , seeing that clip again makes my blood boil , sheer arrogance of the club hasn’t changed even after 15 years without a finals win praise the lord whoever put a curse on that piece of [censored] club back in the early 2000s, long may their drought continue

My recollection was that when big man Wallis punched 18yr old Brad Green it was Hardwick that was also holding Green too Pretty ****house comments by dimma but clearly a deflecting tactic away from that mercenary lynch now also a grub player the hit by long looked even more terrible than I remember it 3 of the four weeks served in preseason ... i forgot that - what a [censored] joke... even back then

Dylan Shiel’s man bun must be a homage to steven seagal

Dunny going the full bogan style tonight ... looks like someone they plucked off the streets of Adelaide circa 1991

We owed norf that

Not at tigerland by the sounds of it ...

[censored] Smith apparently has a secret which will make us all millionaires ! A lot of random ads on D’land lately

I will microwave my online membership card ...metaphorically speaking that is !

Carlton tried this approach twice in the last 20 years, put them back at least 10 Clarko has been coaching since 2004 - I remember seeing him as a runner for us in ‘98 under Daniher post retirement - we also had Fagan as an assistant then too !!! We need to be looking for the next Clarko
