As does the Standard...

Jeez, this thread is like a bloody ghost town. 

I would’ve thought more D’Landers would be up and about after our girls posted such a massive, 8 point win over the old arch rival, The Filth, under lights and roof at Docklands on a Friday night, as a curtain raiser to a 50,000 spectator State of Origin game. What an awesome victory! 

If Adelaide can beat the Bloos, and Saints somehow beat Freo tomorrow, our finals chances increase dramatically. If we were to make finals, we could, you know, be a real chance to WIN A FLAG, like it says on that little plan Perty and the board put out the other week! 

C’mon people, get around OUR team, the  bloody MFC for chissakes! RED AND BLUE! 
 

Or are they just chicks pretending to play footy?! 
 

Sheesh 

Just finished watching the game not knowing scores. Nice win, good contest. Pity we [censored] the saints game up against the wall, but looking good.

carn you Dee grrrrls! 

What a guy. 

Out of pure footy starvation I’ll tune in tonight. 
I’ll be barracking for.....injuries!

I think this is a great show of faith by Trac in the club, the rest of his teammates, that he is really invested in the club and taking it forward.  You get the impression of Trac that he has significant ambitions and that after our 2019 it would be understandable for him to be looking around at better options. 

Putting off contract talks and if he subsequently left, it could have had a really destabilizing impact on the team at a critical time.  Instead, he hasn't stuffed anyone around and has committed to the club before the season commences.  Like chalk and cheese to that previous No.$1 draft pick we had.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Yes, compared to Viney.

 

Gawn wins player vote.  Mmmm.  Ok.

Players boycott camp.  Players whinge about what else we don’t know about.

 

Unless you are blessed with talent to the highest percentile, you need an edge to get to be competitive in the last fortnight in September.  Invariably that edge is mental toughness, sometimes it’s the coaches box (Bulldogs 97/98), and sometimes it’s luck (Adelaide 98).  This group relies on rolling the dice for snake eyes.

So you’re saying Gawn is physically and mentally soft?

Never seen Viney shirk a contest; from Wojo to Stack.  Same can’t be said for Gawn round 1 2019.

Are you saying Gawn is soft? 

Probably a bit late after however many decades? May as well smoke it up till the bitter end!

Emma Kearney is the Joel Selwood of AFLW. Lifts her arm to make tackles high.

There was a critical game we lost narrowly last season (or one before?) where she won a free in that fashion to goal and effectively win the game. Nearly kicked in the TV and shouted your words exactly!

How good's footy? 

Renewed on 10th December, still nothing in the mail. I’m in no mad rush but that seems lengthy for a Melbourne metro mailout..

Just our luck for him to break a finger.

My mate texted me saying Maxy had broken his ankle running between wickets. Poor humour ?

Here’s a summer feel-good(ish) story for ya. 

So a colleague of mine is a cricket-loving Kiwi who plays in an amateur league here in Melbourne. The name of the league escapes me, but it’s pretty well organised whereby they have player ranking points across the all teams. My mate is pretty good and as such, got selected to represent the Kiwi ‘All-Star’ team or some such in a one-off exhibition game played today. 

Weeks ago he cane to me with his good news of selection. With his limited knowledge of AFL, my mate said rumour was getting about that a footy star was going to be on the team. Some tall bloke with a beard, he says. I immediately opened a file on my work computer filled with humorous Max facial expression pics that I use to punctuate light-hearted emails  and showed him - is this the bloke? 

Confirmed, Max Gawn was selected as wicket keeper / batsman for today’s game! I haven’t seen too many keepers of Max’s height, but apparently he goes alright! I’ve read about his passion for the Black Caps and the fact he was born there so makes sense I guess. My mate said he’s a ripping bloke. 

Anyway, the Kiwis lost needing 2 runs off the last ball. Guess who had most of the strike in the last but couldn’t get bat to ball? Can’t win em all; shades of R1 2018. At least he didn’t pull a hammy or anything. My mate was pretty filthy on the loss so I don’t have much match detail at this stage, he said it was too soon so must have been a heartbreaker. 

But best of all, my mate was kind enough, and Maxy gracious enough, to sign a picture for my 4.5 yo twin daughters to go alongside their one from Daisy Pearce on our fridge. The conditioning is almost complete. 

Thanks Maxy, go Dees! 

Come over to my place; still saved on my Foxtel IQ. 

Sad but true ?

Just renewed - how hope springs eternal.

Go Dees 2020!

Dees make it to the GF against Brisbane Lions  

Go into the final quarter with a 35 point lead. 

Extend that lead by kicking the first four goals, stretching it to a 59 point, unassailable lead. Tears begin welling in the eyes of all Demons supporters. 

Two minutes till full time. 

Aliens arrive out of nowhere and begin attacking the earth. 

Nobody hears the final siren over the panic.

Turns out there was a whole planet of aliens who were Demons supporters and they only came to celebrate. Melbourne membership goes to a record 2.3 million in 2021 with a new category, intergalactic membership.

Ok guys, massive choice coming up in the next half hour.

 

Sitting at a restaurant on the Gold Coast and can't decide...

Amatriciana or Bearnaise sauce for my steak, I've never heard of either. Don't even start me on the wine

Haha jokes, admins can delete when the find. Good luck to whom ever we draft, I hope you are scrutinized less then my choice of steak sauce

Bearnaise, dude. All the way 

Jeez, relax guy, we’re not gonna take you! 

Imagine he gets a long term injury in those first two seasons, paper bags of cash down the dunny, tee hee!

Haha , so is she! 

SOS presents as arrogant, self centred, defensive and controlling. When the media challenge him about his decision making, he either deflects blame/responsibility or gets all aggro. You know, a jerk. Not the kinda bloke you’d want to be stuck on a desert island with. 

Could play though, I guess.
