When Hib kicks the ball, the oppo defenders can go off on interchange, get a rubdown and a gatorade and come back on refreshed and ready for the spoil or intercept mark.

In these strange days everything is strained to the limit, even humour.

Good on you, Star. I hope everyone pulls in this kind of spirit when the time comes later this year to really get behind the Mighty Demons. Sounds like the old man lived a full and dignified life. Good on him too. That's the way to do it.

Games of football

Yeah, but apart from chaos ball, bad disposal, one-way running, lack of player development, and co-captaincy .... WHAT HAS GOODWIN EVER DONE FOR US????

West Coast played in front. We didn't. West Coast can kick the ball to their teammates. We can't. West Coast can kick the ball between the big posts. We can't. Football basics at any level. It seems Goodwin still believes in chaos ball and being hard at the contest. Which is why guys like Spargo and Hibberd are getting a game. The latter's last remaining AFL-quality attribute is being hard at the contest. (Similar for Nev, sadly.) The former, have to wonder whether he has any AFL-quality attributes at all. Goodwin's reaction in the past has been along the lines of "obviously we weren't hard ENOUGH at it!" and doubles down. Money for jam for opposition coaches & strategists. None of them stay up at night wondering how they're going to counter the Demons' one-dimensional game plan. Our next game, whenever it is, will tell what our coaches and strategists took out of this game.

Well, I found that disappointing. Anyone else find that disappointing?

That was yesterday by the look of things

No, those have been requisitioned by the government to make hand sanitiser

I bet the dockers flew back to Perth with all our toilet paper too.

On a similar note, I've always wanted to know what Garyablettjunior's first name is.

That's okay Rab. Any reason is good enough to hate C'wood. You don't need to justify it. It doesn't even have to make sense. Just make sure you hate them, and all is well.

Hey! Let's start a hashtag and see if we can get it trending! That will help.

Cancelled out if Weed makes the final cut. It's a zero sum game.

Conditions are the same for every club. There's no head start for the Demons just coz we're in a premiership drought. (Although the Suns will get an advantage as they're already used to playing in front of nobody)

1. Coronavirus: the boom recruit to this season's list. Already has the attention of seasoned track watchers and is expected to wreak havoc on the park. 2. Flu: flashy performer, flits in and out. Always chimes in mid-winter with some big performances but lacks season-long consistency. 3. The Common Cold: an old stalwart, can always be relied on to make solid contributions in spite of being unfashionable and unloved. 4. Acne: not considered best 22 but always there and thereabouts. Depth only. 5. Diphtheria: potent when in the mix and certainly capable, but not expected to make much of an appearance in 2020.

In other news: sky is blue. It's going to get dark at night, and the sun's going to come up in the morning.

Imagine there's a bounce down I wonder if you can No nominated ruckmen And third and fourth up man Imagine all the football Lighting up the 'G Imagine there's no interchange It's easy if you will No athletes running everywhere Just lots of football skill Imagine all the football Going on all day You may say i'm a dreamer But i'm not the only one One day Clarkson will be sidelined And the teams will score a ton

All these rules on rules, rules on rules on rules .... take away interchange, which has been abused beyond belief beyond its original conception as relief from injuries. No need for 666, 16 a side, etc etc. Remove interchange or restrict it severely.

Fair point. one day someone will come up with a better joke. DM me when identified.

"See that? Right there! He threw it!" "Yeah .... so what? In rugby you can do that." "This is Aussie Rules, you dumb ***!!" "Oh right ... feet only ... but you can head it. So ... is that guy the goalie?"

Melb and Bullies in the one sentence. Have I died and gone to heaven? (yes, I know. A man can dream.)

"My dog is having puppies. How can I buy memberships for them all if I don't know how many??" "I found out Dermot Brereton used to play for us! Did anyone else know that?" "Why does our song start with We Are The Navy Blues when our colours are are brown and yellow? Football is strange." "My neighbour said we haven't won a premiership in over 2 years. How can I tell him he's wrong?" "Are we on top of the ladder? And does anyone know when the football season starts?" "I love having Eddie McGuire as president. I rub it in everyone's noses every Monday morning. They look at me very strangely. I think it's jealousy."

"We accidentally, inadvertently recorded GAJ as being on $40K base salary with $2K match fees. Inadvertently, accidentally, to our complete shock and surprise, he was actually being paid $900K. We do not understand how this freak error could have occurred. The unpaid intern responsible for negotiating his contact and lodging the paperwork has been sacked. The highly paid executive and board member responsible for hiding this from the AFL has also been sacked."

Any advance on Darwin? Mariana Trench?
