Delusional demon 82

looking forward to hearing from Adrian, chapter 1 of the no merger pod cast was great listening. Any chance supermercado could also make a cameo appearance tonight?? After that insipid performance by the club last night the podcast might need some extra dry humour and meaningless random stats from neeld era to put things into perspective !

Any merger full stop to be honest , if I were a Fitzroy supporter that three peat in 01-03 still wouldn’t have felt right , I would still feel a little bit cheated if the demons ever climb the summit for a 13th time at least I’ll feel completely fulfilled because it would be the same club as the one that won its 12th premiership so many years ago, on its own , with the same colours and with the same name

Andy you’re right about it stirring the emotions That 87 prelim audio was gut wrenching , and I wasn’t even there and too young to remember it it seems incredible this club survived the last 50 years without being merged or relocated

It was the loss we needed to have....right ?

I think Ethan beat him to it though BBO

The Essendon bubble the media dreamed up just went pop ! but they still have a game in hand ...... pretenders !!!

Wow did lobb learn the goal kicking run up style from hogan? freo letting saints off the hook with set shots

Plenty of learnings that quarter

I’ll never forget that goal he kicked against west coast either ... wish him all the best , except when he plays the dees

So two out of our 3 games so far have been compromised by covid 19 - this season is losing its relevance and credibility

An Essendon player testing positive .... who would have thought !!!

Oh my!!!! What a miss

I’ve always wondered how the economics of the NBA having a single apparel sponsor for all of its teams works (in Nike or previously Addidas) the team usually have there own apparel sponsor for training, but the match day kits and tops are all Nike ( or Jordan for Charlotte) obviously NB wouldn’t pay as much to us if they didn’t get their brand on the match day kit , but wondering if all the clubs sharing a collective apparel sponsorship that the AFL could market and negotiate would generate more $$$ - and yes I know it’s more control in the AFLs hand , but potentially more $ to share by a larger scale, especially for the small clubs ??

Rd 2-5 is a pretty fair draw cats at the G - amazing !!!!

Hopefully it was Robert Walls again who predicted that !!!

Where did it all go wrong Jim ? We went downtown after ‘64 and stayed there !

Basically cost us a top 3 finish in 2018

Apparently Freo have loaned us Jesse Hogan back for the 4th quarter only , hopefully he has an impact ?

best demonland thread of the off season! My hatred of meth coke and it’s supporters has been constant for 25+ years - that mid 80s established franchise is as fake and cheap as a coolabah goon bag wine cask. Any success they’ve had in the past 30 years is clouded by drug scandals and funded by deep pockets. As a generalisation, their supporters are imbecilic theatregoers who honestly don’t know why they boo. Dishonourable mentions to essendrug and Geelong

Am looking forward to many references to “that’s not our brand” and “craft”, it might even top the record amount of F bombs in Goodfellas

Cooler .... 20 days !!

Yep , all we need now is a Democratic landslide, another gulf of Tonkin incident , a re-release of Goldfinger and The Bettles back topping the charts and I’ll be convinced that the Norm Smith curse will finally be lifted in 2020 !

Great read , quite a balanced and factual view of last year vs 2018 if anyone has access to the full article where does the author have us on a predicted ladder finish ? Although I’m liking the fact that most of the footy media so far seem to be writing us off making the 8 next year

“to hell and back ... for more !” I actually thought it was the 2020 membership slogan
