Deemented Are Go!

I can hear the cop cars being turned, breaking glass and fires being lit already

Who won? I feel asleep amidst all the excitement

Amongst other things

In all seriousness, that’s a massively wild claim, are you able to extrapolate, JV7??

...Gill dancing naked around the horse corpses, bathing in their blood and stoking the ritualistic fire with their flesh... cocaine’s a hell of a drug, ya’ll

Kinda unrelated, but not sure which thread to ask: any ideas/murmurings on our leadership group for this year? I’ve noticed other clubs announcing theirs thus week..

Um, she lost 15 kgs since last season and of her 3 goals, one was outrunning an opponent and another was the match-winner. Not to mention a sublime pick-up at full speed out of a contest which we'd marvel at in the men's game. All in the second half when other players were running out of gas. Looks pretty good to me.

Ok, busted. I didn’t watch the clip ?

Oh FFS

Do you have a link to the article, PRB?

Just wait till Round 5 this year for a ‘history repeats’ result!

Yeah I just remember heaps of Geelong supporting families in my primary school days. I played a game of little league at Waverley, Melbourne v Hawthorn 1989 , round 19. The majority of kids on my team (Croydon North FC) were Geelong and Hawthorn. We had to wear the MFC strip much to my delight and their horror. We won the little league game (I kicked 0.2 from the forward pocket) , but Melbourne lost to Hawthorn in the seniors. I’ll never forget we sat as a team to watch the last quarter and I was outright bullied by the other kids as the game slipped away. I lost my taste for little league but strengthened my resolve as a Dees tragic: me against them kinda stuff. Kids are brutal!

Where you goin’, city boy?

She goes for Essendon, so meh...

Agreed! And on that irksome topic of 'typical' conservative Melbourne supporters; I (mis?)spent my youth in the punk/skinhead scene where generally sport is not a highly rated pursuit or interest. Yet I discovered heaps of fellow Dees fans, closeted or not, who despite their anachronistic anti-establishment tendencies love the Red and Blue! As a kid in 1980's/90's outer-eastern suburbia surrounded by fans of successful clubs (Hawthorn, Essendon, Geelong, etc) at school, it was naturally rebellious, even masochistic, to choose the MFC. To back the unfashionable perennial underdog - losers, even. I reckon that ideal is appealing to all sorts of types from all walks of life. And lends itself nicely to the misfit, anti-social approach of the punk scene I and other lifelong Dees fans immersed themselves into in our youth (you know who you are). It goes to show the cliche of elitist, private school, Range Rover-driving, Grange-swilling, Portsea-polo-attenting, yuppy Dees supporters may have some truth, but is far from the reality.

Oh no, what have I done?! Sleep with one eye open ?

Lol, just discussing this with my wife who grew up in and around Gisbourne/Macedon. Unfortunately, Romsey is the backwater of the area known as the ‘inbred’ kinda spot where there’s only four families but relative (pun intended) exponential population growth! A little bit ‘Deliverence’. No slight on Jake, though, what a get for MFC! Carn Dees!

Bloody hell , it’s scorched earth down there!

Hmm, drawing a long bow there I reckon..

3 years

Forgive my ignorance- what is BCNA?

Short back and sides? Looks pretty conservative, thought you meant he had a green mohawk or something!

His head looks too small for his body.
