Deemania since 56

Thank you, DZ, a Far King score, at last. Scores are the output of the efforts of players on both sides, in essence.

Pessimism seems rife on the comments so far ... and very limited for the DL folk who cannot get to the game.

Tough nut, that one. Hurt many an opposition player ...

Might team up well with Chin in the penalised absence of Kozzie - the leading and support players must defend these two at the drop of the hanky when opportunities arise.

Yep, probably ... actually, for me, a decade more in the generalised sense.

Jefferson Starship is the matured version.

... and behave royally just like the Windsors ... of course, with a piece of Windsor cake with afternoon tea.

These are intriguing thoughts ... it can be imagined/assumed this will happen.

I hope she has a wonderful wedding, DZ.

From all reports, he seems to have more nous about footy than Crippa...

Windsor is our new Stan Alves, surely ... only faster.

Bewdy!

Again, whatever Tracca does, invokes, attends to, wants to do is amazing.

The 'under the radar' status is a blessing well disguised; it assists to have other teams' selectors make incorrect, early decisions about their respective team profiles and methodologies. It may also reduce prejudicial umpire behaviours towards the Dees early in the season, so as to lessen the establishment of outright, season-long crud decisions that exacerbate fair play and related AFL privilege anointments. It's also just nice to stampede successes early, crushing opposition teams with confidence and surprise from a lower rung in public estimations.

Windsor - wingman give somewhat of a free licence to roam half-back flank to forward zone, depending on the match circumstances. He'd eat the coverage required, is potent and has the smarts. A Stanley Alves, in my opinion.

Stellar year coming up, for Chin ... feel it in my bones ... space-finder, unflappable for the ball, great kick from 50 m out from the sticks. Just watch!! (:-))

It also has to be balanced against the negligent claims and tirades of disrespectful, opportunity-knocks, put-down observers in the media, riddling in other clubs with their loyalties and fanciful desires as if the player concerned, the Club concerned and the general public are open and malleable-enough to believe, or accept or focus on such utter tripe churned out in the name of income or stirring of excrement for advantage.

Yes, he has talent but his history is a little disappointing; however, I have (consequential to being under Max's influences) some hope and if he is currently training well enough to acquire certain praise from DL observers, then perhaps, moreso.

That would be very nice - an early workout and assessment where talent resides.

Great clip. Apart from his complement of overwhelming footy skills - par excellence - he really did have the best drop punt in the game and a great sense of space in which his wizardry could be utilised. I found it too difficult to view the whole clip - too sad - the memories hurt like hell. You are never forgotten, Robbie.

Once he settles into a regular haircut (please God), the Fritch could be the wanton forward-line exploiter, thanks to the definite strength of our recruiting outcomes. Whilst he can take a mark, if needed, he also finds space within the parameters of his kicking distance - and we are not here to assess his his goal-scoring aptitudes - Fritta is going to set records he could not imagine. Carna Demons, now coaches, exploit it !!!!

Fully agreed, and now, inter-media advertising opportunities enable them to sell their souls - and loyalties - as a sign of success. Most know 2/5ths of 1/3rd of FA.

I have my suspicions that Chandler is being developed for the role. A very good runner, tough at it, a great kick, gets the goals, evasive and prepared to two-way getting into the play, tough as nails, gives out free body contacts both offensively and defensively. Tank - not sure it can be brought up to ANB's standard but certainly, one of the best up forward.

We might show a bit of mongrel towards them, too. Particularly if we get a few goals up, and now, do we think we have the human capital to so do? I reckon - in all sizes - we might jolt the Filth menacingly and in a very sustained manner - we owe them two or three 'accidents' at least, and another handful for the memories.

Ain't it the bitter truth?
