Red But Mostly Blue

Have we turned up yet? (Fair play to the Roos, they have come out with the fire I wanted us to come out with).

Nobody seemed to make much noise about this during the game!? And they do love to drag us during commentary, so pretty rough outcome. Wonder if there’s a stat for a goal and suspension on debut.

Now that’s the kind of grudge match win I’m talking about. BRING IT!!!

Last 3 losses to the Giants, cumulative loss of 7 points total - rough!! Do we play them again? Would love to settle the score.

We SHOULD have won that, but sadly that’s not how the points are awarded. We had our chances, and they took theirs. Giants are a seriously good team. Pretty gutted to start the season with another one that got away, but I’m proud of the boys today, great first outing and particularly so from the debutants. Bright future ahead 💙❤️

Great from Lindsay

Grrrr. We had some chances there. We need to disrupt their momentum with a quick goal in response.

Honestly couldn’t care less about the bowey goal noise. We’ve been done over so many times by things like that. If it was touched, we’re owed a million. Although I’d rather we got back that long fingers marchbank bs

AJ!!!! what’s the record for most debutants scoring goals?? (Although this probably held by new teams?

I think we’ll be ok but we need to be a little bit slicker with our skills, we should be ahead, or at the very least not behind right now. The giants are just efficient and make us pay for mistakes.

Man, the kids are alright alright alright.

Debutants hitting the scoreboard, great to see!!!

SPAZ!!!! (Wish he converted though) i know it’s literally the first minute but we look good.

Jeffo record for fastest first goal on debut!!??

I’ve got a good feeling about this year! Let’s go Dees 💙❤️🔥

Far out I am (even more) pumped after seeing the debutants named. Is it Sunday arvo yet!!!??

It's a ridiculous section, and he doesn't even understand how 'sliding doors' work - even worse is it doesn't even make sense!!!

As we hurtle towards a big 2025, we have dingbats like Damian Barrett doing their very best to drag us. For a guy who lives to air things publicly, seemingly daily, often without base or substance, and whose peers do the same, it’s a bit rich. Do they want us to acknowledge issues or not? Pick one? We ignore issues, it’s a problem, damo here goes off. We talk about them, and it’s fake and forced. And damo goes off what. A. [censored].

ELITE 🔥

I love love LOVE Freo being all worked up, and on the defensive and in full/constant dismissal mode. Let a thousand lazy baseless 'articles' bloom about the LJ relationship/purported relationship drivers/'old' homesickness etc etc etc ad nauseam. And then some. I know there's some hope and excitement about his return - and yeah he's a great player - and would no doubt probably fil a space originally intended for him, but for a guy who supposedly likes to please everyone, he checked out of this club for at least the last half of 2022, and his finals series was lame, at best. I'm not as ecstatic about his potential return. But the media feeding on this 'story' like the vultures they are, I like very much.

Ben may have spent the majority of his career at the Roos, but he's now a part of the Demons family. He's a child who's left home to find his own way, but the thing about kids is sometimes they come back. It sounds like the gig suits his life at the moment, and maybe it's part of a plan to work with Tassie, but regardless, I hope the Bombers look after him - they are lucky to get him and I have no doubt they will benefit immensely from his presence. Go well, Benny - we'll miss you. Come home soon :-)

That’s a [censored] end to the quarter. All that work to get back in the game only to have clawed back 10 points. 5.6 not great, again. Ah well, at least it was a better showing. Nothing to lose here, hope the boys just throw all the dash and dare out there in the last. Be bold.

lol, Claz. This is great to see him hitting the scoreboard. But he shouldn’t. Be leading our goalkicking…

19 scoring shots a piece…

Kozi must be watching this going, hmmm, it would be considerably more enjoyable on the other side of this game. Flying with Shai… lol
