  1. Yeah well, what can I say, I'm a rebel. It was a rainy day at the top of the old northern stand at the G, circa 1987. Melbourne were thumping the Filth and as a five year old sensing Dad's discomfort, declared I now barrack for the Dees. Fast forward six years and he still hadn't bought me a Melbourne scarf or beanie. I had to go to 'footy day' at primary school wearing black and white, but reassuring everyone "it's ok, I actually go for the Dees". To be fair, he took me along to plenty of Dees games, but I suffered many boring afternoons at Victoria Park. I would amuse myself by collecting 'cash-a-cans' and climbing the scoreboard with other kids. To this day, I still don't think he's forgiven me.
  2. I was there as a little tacker. My Filth supporting Father still says is the best game he's ever been to!
  3. Speaking of Slobbo, how remiss not to mention his 'sidekick', Gerard Whately. His commentary is vivid, intelligent and actually impartial. And with that loveable demeanour, I wish he was my uncle (even more than Bitter B.O)
  4. Indeed I use the term loosely. Perhaps media 'personalities' is better
  5. What with all the season and ladder predictions being flung around this week by journalists and pundits alike - personality (or lack thereof) aside, who's opinion in the media do you take seriously and why? For me, I think Matthew Lloyd offers insightful, balanced and usually accurate analysis. I also mostly mirrored his tipping in the second half of last year and finished 2/100 in my workplace competition! (cheers Lloydy, $450 big ones!) And it's hard to go past Brad Johnson's Nostradamus-like call on Fremantle at the start of last year. From memory, he was also pretty spot-on with tracking the Demons' progress through last season. Dermie, on the other hand, micro-analyses everything to an inch of its life, but can't seem to see the forest for the trees.
  6. "He's right, ya know." "About Gus?" "ABOUT EVERTHING!"
  7. Fair dinkum, that bloke is the pits. And he always seems to call our games. Ugh
  8. YESSS! Go Dees!! Great to hang on with the season on the line.....against Carlton.........(listening, boys ?!) Bring it home, Girls, would love to take my twin daughters to a AFLW Grand Final in its first year! Great Stuff
  9. Granted, their song is gender specific (ie, "SONS of the west"), perhaps that's why they felt compelled to change the lyric. Either way, its a terrible song. Ours is clearly the best song in the AFL.
  10. St Kilda looking a bit scary early. And of course they play at Shitihad- why aren't they playing at a suburban ground like erryone else??
  11. It's alright, puntkick, the men in the white coats will be here soon...
  12. Sorry, but T-shirts??? They look like thugby players
  13. Gus, Clarrie, Stretch, AVB, all rotating pending form/fitness. That's how depth works, right?
  14. The average AFL player's wage is 300k. Enough said.
  15. Yeah it looks great, except for the the unmissable text reminding us of our 111 point loss to Geelong...
  16. Existence is meaningless. Nihilistic existentialism rules.
  17. Did the training session even happen? I'm having some kind of Kafka-esque existential crisis. Maybe all the players and coaching staff woke up to find they were just cockroaches wandering aimlessly around an empty, meaningless world.... Gawd this off-season is killing me
  18. We all know N. Jones as "chunk', but I've heard others call him "doctor". Anyone know where that came from? Is it the bald wheelchair dude from X-Men?
