  1. Whilst we do bag Champion Data, when it doesn't suit our narrative, I am very very pleased for ANB. If you looked in the dictionary for quiet achiever...etc etc.
  2. I got the notification from you Rab - and was worried that you were going to tell me that there is plenty of *** swinging between Arbroath* and Queen of the South 😎 *could do with a smokie
  3. The wankerdom around the need to have high crowds as a measure of your teams worth happens no where else in the world. In no other sport, not since BIG TV (tm) do people swing their [censored]’s (anatomical correct language for appendage in case it gets censored) in reference to this. a) revenue is mostly derived elsewhere b) athletes don’t ‘really’ care c) …. Errr so why still is it part of the afl cultural landscape? *seriously PEN IS is censored?
  4. @Axis of Bob what were you talking about? @Demonstone, did I pull the trigger a smidge early ?
  5. Your reference made me think of this 90's banger from Blur

    I hope so... last time we had that we got Pickett (perhaps, I can't quite recall)
  7. @Demonstone so the jury is out eh? 😅

    Buddy Franklin vibes
  9. Fair go, I only stumbled across Demonland in 2017/18 - had no idea this sort of space existed on the inter web - I was too far ensconced in pornhub and cat videos
  10. While injecting new energy into a team can be invigorating, it's crucial to consider the broader picture. Simply swapping coaches might provide a short-term boost, but it's essential to address the root causes of underperformance. New faces can certainly offer fresh perspectives, but relying solely on this approach overlooks the complexities of team dynamics. Sustainable success often hinges on identifying and addressing deeper issues within the group, rather than seeking a quick-fix solution. Furthermore, continuity with coaching staff is often overlooked. Building strong player-coach relationships, developing a cohesive team culture, and implementing long-term strategies require time and stability. Numerous examples in sports, such as the sustained success of {insert dozens of options here}😎 , highlight the significance of this factor. I don't think the players are bored of the message from Goodwin, nor the 10 months that McQualter has been there... good to throw some ideas around though M.A.D 😀 *I can appreciate that once a team has won the premiership, and then not for 3 years - it feels as though time is slipping by, and like the season that is spring, it's time to renew.
  11. 😁 How does anger help?
  12. Hee hee - I presume that is not a critique of Jordon, rather than the posters who postulate otherwise :)
  13. Do you get any joy following the Dees? 😇
  14. This is the reasons EVERY team loses. I know you know this :) And for those that are unclear - and use this as THE reason to make sense of it to blame the FD or the athletes - this has happened to every single team, every single season. What's with some supporters disconnect with understanding how fine the margins are to winning and losing, within each club within the competition that is designed to be equal (forgetting the draw,) and then the outrage towards players the the FD - that occurs when we lose, it's seriously [censored]. Aside from being Freo's bunnies - > we're a team that has had a lot of adversity this year, a lot - and had to patch things up on the fly...and have been quite valiant and shown lot of resilience considering the context of injuries and other missing athletes. It's as if this knowledge evaporates to some people when focusing on single game outcomes, and is such a shallow binary analysis. Still, from a club perspective - I'd rather be us than Essendon at least... 😎
  15. "in the early stages" - ahhh so there is fluidity in decision making depending on the context...rrriiiiiggghht,
  16. Thermos of coffee and whisky and a HSP 🤷‍♂️😀
  17. Carlton, solid block of training…
  18. Squeeky sphincter time... 💦
  19. I'm exasperated by the notion that the medical team, Gawn and the FD would knowingly put him in a position to exacerbate the injury, without weighing up the risk.

    Sparrow and a first?
  21. Engorged Onion replied to Lucifers Hero's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I highly suspect we were in a heavy training block post the Essendon match... all evidence points to ducks and drakes with Freo 😏
  22. Engorged Onion replied to Oxdee's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    It’s happened already 👍 And some who exit the circus that is sport, only by the skin of their teeth get lampooned for choosing their mental health and thus future over playing a sport for $
  23. Appreciate the energy and effort you are putting in. You are a very good writer and I enjoy your style.✍️
