John Demonic

Well if we're being honest. This whole circus is about getting him out there for the Port game where his contested marking could be the difference, if Port come to play. Principles and Fair defence of our own aside.

The longer it goes on the more confident im feeling... (Is this how it works?)

Maybe your captain can radio in for the result

You're quite combative tonight for no apparent reason Mandee. I understood your sticky finger shoplifting joke and polished it off with some sticky fingers over the Wiz kicking 9 in a half. We're all in it together on this silly demon forum, no harm intended. Go Dees!

Dennis Deenuto

Add to that all the boo's he's getting whenever he goes near the ball 😭

`Who's on the appeals board?

Perhaps you missed seeing The Wiz kick 9 in a half!

I thought you got off those shoplifting charges Ethan. ET was talking about seeing The Wiz kick 9 in a half.

Now we just need @Hawny for Gawny to ask Andy a Q on the podcast thread or leave a review, so we get to hear him read the name out loud

Luckily we only have Sam Frost and Tom Jonas to beat in the air

Pulp Fritschion

Give him a run up forward as a birthday treat

Yeah but would Clarko have dropped Gunston for Billy Hartung to add some forward pressure?

Wtf is this absurdity that you can only take your eye off the ball if you have ill intentions, and not because you're momentarily tracking where your opponent is out of duty of care? Are they actively encouraging endangering yourself and your opponent by turning yourself into a missile by recklessly going back with the flight like Nick Riewoldts and Brown did? They were lucky they didn't kill themselves or their opponent. And lucky they marked the ball.

It's the work of Danon, lead by the mysterious D. D drops D-Drops about an Anti-Dees Deep state operating out of a pizza parlour in Toorak.

Looking forward to getting my annual dose of Frost ball, and not from the weather!

Great game to watch. Made a good argument for night games up North in the NT and northern QLD Bring on a 20th team in NT I say as the hot and humid weather will be a decent equalizer that produces matches of that quality. Exhausting encounters that are full of drama. Will be far more interesting that the boredom of seeing another 3rd WA/SA team running around. (Just don't bring up the economics)

Was just my poor attempt at a double entendre, as every person is asking for the trade route out of there! #BenKingToTheDemons2024

Given these weekly threads usually come with street names: - Where's the road out of here?

He was frankly quite cranky, Cranky Franky

Wouldn't mind JVR kicking 5 on their Captain too 👍

I wonder if Schache is the kind of player that will one day, out of nowhere, have an out-of-body experience and play possessed (out of necessity) like Tom Boyd in the 2016 GF in the ruck. Both players not too dissimilar as very high draft picks that did not live up to expectations, but still had/have the talent to stick around on the list with their potential to have that one off out of the box performance that can turn a match. That's why im pretty glad we have him on our list as as a back up when needed to contribute again, but the option is there. He might be crucial in a final, who knows.

Collingwood will be top 4 come end of the year, or in the 8 at the very least. Its assured. Although it's natural to want them to lose every game, my thinking on these close ones switches instantly to 'Well they've knocked one of our top 4/8 competitors and prevented them from getting 4 points" the moment the siren goes and the deed is done. Some may think Adelaide, Stkilda, Essendon, Port will fade as the year goes. But where they finished last year will make their fixture easier to stay contending for our position in the top 4. Every loss to the Pies is fine in that regard. Even though it's irritating seeing Maynard carry on like a pork chop.

26 kick outs. Geelong were very wasteful in front of goal
