Deemented, it took 1 post to mention Watts in a non Watts related thread, congratulations new record.

Just trying to fit in, ManDee

Ha! 

That'll take the media heat off Watts, at least.....

For a while...

My mom is a filth supporter, mainly cause her grandad played for em, but I hear your pain.

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.

Were you at windy hill when he kicked those 4 or 5 goals in the last 1/4?

Every one a torp from outside 50 that when sailing through more than post high!

Must have been like the 80's. 

I reckon they went 70 metres .....we did have the windy hill wind blowing our end.

Finest example of multiple goal long kicking I ever saw .

Hon. mention for Malcom Blights unbelievable torp goal at Prices Park and that one from G Lyon from inside the square at the G.

I was there as a little tacker. My Filth supporting Father still says is the best game he's ever been to!

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)

Lloyd and Dunstall are not journalists. They are good for insight into the league, but they are not journalists. 

There are no good football journalists. 

Don't Mistake special insight and opinion for journalism. 

Caro used to be good but she succumbed to the pressure of Fairfax's push towards gotcha jernalisms to help get the company outta the red.

Indeed I use the term loosely. 

Perhaps media 'personalities' is better

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.

Fair dinkum, that bloke is the pits. And he always seems to call our games. Ugh

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

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.

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??

It's alright, puntkick, the men in the white coats will be here soon...

Sorry, but T-shirts??? 

They look like thugby players
