Just watched the first quarter and one thing I took notice of was the amount of times Weideman got his hands to the ball first, but didn't take the mark. In the first 20 seconds he would have probably marked the ball but tripped and the ball spilled free. The next two times he flew for a mark only metres out from goal, Jackson flew as well and they both spoiled each other. During the course of the first quarter he got first hands to the ball but couldn't hold it. What I'm saying is that if he had held his marks he would have been applauded for his game. There is only a small margin between an ordinary game and a really good game, he will start to hold them and when he does he will be a very good player for us.

I think our big test is going to be Brisbane, if we beat them I think we can win the flag. They have been gifted picks and have recruited well, they are a very good team. Oh, Old Dee don't think i'm having a go at you I think you are a good poster but just a bit negative right now. ?

That's not the issue, we have a good win and all you can take out of the game is that someone didn't play as well as you thought he should have. Too much negativity Old, just enjoy the ride. I swear at times it seems like you don't want success, that you would be happier just watching us lose. No they are not all perfect, but enough are playing well to give us a 10-1 start too the season.

Yeah, you missed how good the rest of the team was.

Perhaps Derm would like the game played over three quarters, or perhaps all clubs should play four quarters with the best quarter deducted from their score. If we win the flag Derm will probably suggest we were once again lucky and we will not be able to sustain the form to the next Grand Final.

Hi Old, there are enough experts on the site already, they don't need my meagre oferings.?

The club has great faith in Spargo and who knows, one day, you might too, then we will know that miracles do happen.

There was a game earlier this year where the Melbourne player, unanimously picked by Demonlanders as BOG, never got a vote in the Age best players. I don't have a lot of faith in their selections, I doubt that they even go to the game, sometimes.

Thank God the club don't read Demonland, if they did we'd be rid of Tmac, Hunt, Nibbler, Viney, Langdon, Tomlinson etc.

The Bullies have been beaten once this year so it shows they are not unbeatable. As Leigh Matthews said of Essendon in 2001, if it bleeds, we can kill it.

The Langdon incident, is shown quite clearly, on the replay.

I posted a few times on Ology yesterday at about 4.30 and I just checked and there has only been 4 other posts, in total, on the site since then.

He did, but goes on lots of holidays and isn't around much to see a lot of football, plus he lives on the Gold Coast.

Yes it is and I still post occasionally on there, so do some other posters here. I came over here when the traffic on ology started to seriously drop off, I'd post something at say, 7 at night and go on the following morning at 10 and mine would be the lsat post on the site. It was a real battleground and there were so many fights it was unreadable, sane people went crazy over there.

All good'I found them in my junk mail

I normally get an email or text giving me my bar codes for tikatek, ring up on the Tuesday after 1.00 and get my tickets, but I haven't got my emails/texts so far. I'm a bit concerned that they have stuffed up, is anyone else in the same boat?

I recall thinking at the time that we were a seriously god side, then I had a look at the back end of the year and realised we had an easy first part but there were not many clubs we would be expected to beat in the last part of the season and we didn't. That's why we fell in a heap.

I've noticed that LJ has flat hands when he attempts a mark and he tends to knock the ball forward of his body and then marks on the follow up. He is/will be a very good player and like most I've noticed he improves every game.

I'm pretty sure Mac Andrew was at the game yesterday, decked out in the DEMON'S gear, he's quite tall and very thin. I'd say he was sitting with the demons players who weren't playing in the game.

Have a close look at the tickets, in the Cats game I got two lots of tickets, 12 in all and only wanted 6, half were in the Olympic stand, where I wanted to sit and the other half were in the Southern stand. Just check carefully to see where the tickets are when you download them to your phone.

I'm sure that there are others like me that got double the number of tickets they ordered.

If anyone thinks the Ticketek are efficient then check this out. I ordered 6 tickets and they were are all to be in the Olympic stand, well I received 12 tickets half in the Olympic Stand and the other half in the Southern stand, unbelievable.

I think the ABC trawl the internet looking for matters that they can get outraged over.

Sad loss and I feel for his kids and other members of his family. He was a good guy and helped me when I was going through a bad time, we only met once for coffee but he gave me some advice on how to handle the situation I was in, similar to his. We kept in, infrequent contact, and last time he messaged me he was rather upbeat, but that was a couple of years ago and I guess things change and can change quickly when dealing with that awful disease. RIP Mark, hopefully the boys can win a flag and if they ever do I'll have a glass with you.
