Meds time… someone needs to take a chill pill or ten. It’s a topic of discussion. 

And if you’re gonna take someone to task, at least spell their name correctly. It’s B-I-Z-K-I-T 😜

Ah WCW, dont you love Demonland?

Demonlander staggers out of bed and looks in bathroom mirror.

DL ' I think I need a shave/ eyebrows plucked'

Mirror 'No you dont, and i never said that, you totally mis repesented me'

DL staggers into hall and looks in hallway mirror.

Mirror 'You need a shave/eyebrows plucked, you igorant eff ing !@#'

I love the 'sound' of Demonland in the morning

Also, the Greg Wells trade in '81 to Carlton for $35k and Vinny Catoggio hurt too.

Greg had been a faithful servant of the club and towards the end of his career we let him go to seek success.  Not every trade can be judged on face value.

Soooo.... are we there yet?

Obviously not.....or we are and have just gone around in a big circle

If this turns out to be the Dees only big trade then I am going to do my nut and eat my hat.

2001, trading Jeff Farmer and Pick 41 for Clint Bizzle.

I really liked Bizzle, but we lost that trade badly.

You have to take what you can get when a player is leaving

Blake Acres (Fremantle) to Carlton in exchange for a future third-round selection

This probably says more about me than anything else but not only is Blake not at the saints but has spent 3 years at Freo and is now at the Blues.  Did I miss anything?

I thought the same 

Hunt went for effectively “absolutely nothing in return” !!! 

Well he was a free agent? And we didnt offer much....

I’m afraid your memory is playing tricks with you. We lost to the Eagles in 1990. I still believe it was because the draw, which delayed our match for a week, left us very flat. Even in the warmup, it was plain that we weren’t switched on. I believe that we should have won the premiership that year.

Flat, I remember running down to the boundary line and yelling 'oi, the game actually started 15 minutes ago'

The jam donuts .Mate of mine and i always bought them for our wives on way home via connells tavern in elizabeth st.Two very drunk blokes in charge of donuts is not a good look but it was the thought that counted.First game one year we meet at the tavern my mate only wore his fav jacket to the footy,puts his hand in the pocket ,yep the jam donuts were still there from the last game the previous year

On a similar vein, best mate grabs his footy travel bag for a spruce up the day before round 1.  Inside was a paper bag containing 2 dim sims.

Anything happened yet?

Can I just say that in Qld the trade period starts at 8.00am and I am ready and in position.

Usually someone like Royce Hart would then take over in the 3rd quarter and we would be smashed.

Did you go to that game too?  I used to dread the last quarter against the Tigers, Rolls Royce would kill us.

I have lots of memories of the strange, quirky and down right unpleasant events that happened outside of the playing of the game.

1.  My nanna had a friend (extended irish catholic family) who worked as a Corps of Commissioner on the gate at the MCC.  My nanna, 3 of her cronies and 5 grand children would gain entry using 2 ladies tickets.

2. Early in the first quarter Uncle Graeme threw his record down into the aisle in disgust, whereupon a young kid grabbed it and ran off.

3.  It was so wet at Artic Park that I watched the game through a moth hole in my beanie.

4.  As a young kid, at a packed out game, I stood up in an exciting moment for a better view. When I went to sit back down someone else was sitting in my seat.  (weird sensation that)

5.  Hot donuts - who doesnt have a story about them.  After the game I purchased 6 hot jam donuts, placed them in my coat pocket with some effort, and headed to Richmond station.  On the train (blue harris?) I pulled one out, took a bite, whereupon half a gallon of scalding jam shot out over my face and chin and down my hands.  I stood there whimpering, covered in jam, trying to reach my hanky which was under the bag of donuts.

Losing the car at Artic park, losing Father in the car park after a night game at the MCG, what DID happen to Aunty Jess and the very drunk blind man will have to wait for another day.

Stengles 50 goals made a massive difference

Are we really too small bodied between Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney and Gawn?

oops for got Brayshaw.....Oliver is incredibly strong but doesnt crash, Tracc big body but doesnt use it to hurt, Viney small, Gawn tall and lean but doesnt crash, Harmes is ok....
