POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Gold Coast
Thank you for your comments on Clarrie. That is very reassuring. As for Tracc, without actually saying it, you painted a very unflattering picture of him - which I’m sure was your real intent. It seems that the ego-maniac kid that first arrived at the club perhaps hasn’t really changed, only disguised that trait. I also infer that perhaps Tracc has been less than accepting of Clarrie’s transgressions, and that Batman and Robyn are no longer the dynamic duo. If the divide at the club actually stems from all of this, then I hope we give Tracc similar orders that we gave Clarrie - shape up or ship out.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Quite a few on here seem to believe Petty will head to the backs once TMac or May retires. Im not sure that will happen. As long as Petty keeps improving as a key forward, I don’t think Goody would have any desire to move him back.

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs
I wanted to believe that it is all about lack of fitness with Clarry. But he’s shown on the field that there are far more issues than just fitness to worry about with him. He has lost his “game” altogether. He is 10% of the player he was. In fact, if you didn’t know better, you’d swear he was a Fine Cotton ring in. He may well have a big pre season but my fear is that we will never see the old Clarry again unfortunately.

CASEY: Rd 19 vs Footscray
I hope Marty Hore gets another go in the ones. Casey certainly relies on him.

Hunter will have to beg Goody to have any chance of playing his 200th game. It certainly won’t be on form.

Such a shame that Laurie cannot hit a target. (He’s not the only one mind).

What was your excuse?
Please show me where it is written that we are, “factually”, the laughing stock of all other AFL supporters. What a silly thing to say. So is your defining of different classes of supporters to deride those who choose not to attend a game. Hate to think how’d you classify me then. I’d have to be below your “theatre goer” classification, because I rarely go. Maybe I cannot be classified as a supporter at all. Maybe I’m simply a “barracker”.

What was your excuse?
@Abyssal If, by some chance, you are referring to WCW with your non-too cryptic remark, I’m sure that, if she possibly wanted too, she could well claim the crown as the most loyal supporter we have. But she’d never do that because I think you and some other DL’s totally misunderstand where,I believe, she is coming from. It’s obvious that she loves the club and the players so much that she cannot abide anyone disparaging their name. They are truely like sons (and daughters to her) and as such won’t hear a bad word said against them. Imagine if your son received some of the same vitriol that our players are often subjected to on this site. I think you would react to that - I know I would. Perhaps, for her own good, (and not yours) WCW should be banned from the match day thread once the game has begun, and the post match thread for at least a day after a completed match (unless of course if we win). WCW might be deranged (my affectionate term for her), but do realise it’s her sons and daughters playing out there - so beware. If you have the right to spew vitriolic comments about one of our players, then she has the right to be critical of your comments. We are all different, just understand and accept that. Despite her “derangedness”, she can light up DL, and for me, and I’m sure many others, she makes this site a whole lot better than it would be without her.

Nice to see Jeffo as the main man up forward, and not crowded out by the likes of Schache and BBB. Hope he has a good day.

If we had a camera operator of the year award……. well let’s just say it would be an honour to even be considered for nomination, as well she might.
