Fritta and Turner

Brent Guerra pinned both arms and drove him into the Colonial Dome concrete

not get any favours at all from any umpires

we still have ben brown (the much taller equivalent of Ricky Jackson - you ken not touch him)

If I buy any more merch I will have to build a pool room.

@rumpole Is Bayley Fritsch your favourite player?

The third quarter still brings a tear to the eye.

Has anyone seen a different angle to Frittas first goal in the third?  Off the boot it looks like it is going through for a point.

I suggested to one of the committee that we should have a Demons Picnic Rug and he thought it was a great idea and would look in to it. I can't believe we have cheese platters, cheese boards and no picnic rug.

What about picnic baskets, knee rugs and a glass to keep your false teeth in overnight

To add to Jeremy's woes, he may end up captaining the Pies next year.

Surely you jest!!!!!!  Have the pies come to that?

I may have missed it, but has anyone said what it was that Burgess said to Goodwin during that discussion on the boundary line during the Grand Final?

Official line is that he was just talking about rotations and that the boys were rested and ready to go (bang, bang, bang...bang)

Please, there’s no need to panic. This is not as bad as it looks. At least, that’s what the medicos will tell Tracc, similar to how they didn’t tell Maysie how bad his hammy tear was. So, rather than “decapitated” let’s say he’s “incapacitated.” Obviously his preseason will look a little different but from all accounts he should be cherry ripe by Rd 1 of season 2022. 
 

gee Christian has a big head......

Pick 17.

He knew what it was like to play to empty terraces because "I used to play at Melbourne". Maybe if he had not said that I would not have posted this but I did think he was graceless and unappreciative of the club that plucked him from the obscurity of Dodges Ferry.

Yes on the surface it seems to be a most ungracious thing to say.  Talk about destroying your own good will.  Perhaps he just caught  Collingwood culture.  Still his injury gave me no joy.

TBH, when I saw the thread title I was half expecting an exposé of sorts

Tend to agree but Jordan Lewis has huge raps on JJ!  Both well exceeded my expectations. Big futures for both!

I like that as he had big raps for Kozzie as well.

I remember #10, the win at geelong on Corey Enrights 300th.  I remember this for an odd reason - Billy Brownarse banging on about the crowd showing disrespect to Boris by leaving before the final siren.  FMD.

I strongly suspect that I'm the only Demonlander who hasn't spent a brass razoo on merchandise or memorabilia and have no intention of doing so. 

I watched the game and will always have that experience and the joyous memory of our triumph.  Should that memory ever need refreshing, there is no shortage of replays and highlights on the internet to watch.

 

Are you serious?

I must admit though that I have tried to purchase items of a practical nature and not just decorative so I have avoided posters and photos.  And being in FNQ many items are very impractical.

Then again not sure what I am going to do with 4 caps/t shirts...

TBH I feel as if  I should make an modest donation to the club.

Some I watched from Vietnam. Others covideo from Perth. Some I saw. 
All great. 
List is pretty correct. 
Salem’s goal against Essendon was the one we really needed to start it all. 
The best three were in last four games. 
🏆

I remember Roos said Salems kick was never in doubt as he was the best kick at the club.

Not sure how BT got the gig but you do have to cater for a widest audience as possible.  That Raving Brian segment he used to do did not appeal to me at all but I am sure there are some out there who liked it....Provided he has a competent caller next to him I can live with it.

I dislike James Brayshaw as a 'media personality' but his call of the GF was excellent. Best special comments are Daisy and Leppa.

What I dont like is when commentators talk so much they miss the game eg Gawns goal out of the ruck.

TBH I am not sure that Maynard would have fitted in anyway.

3rd tall down back, until he goes past may or lever he will always be in the last half dozen or so selected each week 

Um yeah

being in the last 6 or so implies that he is the last of the starting 18 to be picked...don't think so....

Hibbo, TMc, Bowey, even Kossie when gone off the boil surely gets more talk around the selection table.

At last we have an umpires friend.....used to infuriate me when at Norf now loving it....

I just watched the last quarter again and yet again I cried when the final siren sounded. Hearing our song burst out around the ground and seeing our boys doing the stacks-on thing and the unbridled joy, and this overwhelming feeling of relief and pride and gratitude (somebody slap me) it’s like nothing else on Earth. This will NEVER EVER get old. 

I watched the last quarter again too.

2 new things stood out.

Jackos kick on goal - when it left the boot the pack got ready to contest/spoil then just stopped as it sailed through.  The ball gets extra lift at that ground?

Adem Yzes head - it is enormous.

2021 or the thread, Jontee? (aka 'Mr 2000' - who'll do #2021?)

2021 - winning the flag.  Mr 2000?, some days I feel like it.  (Will soon be eligible to play for the Cats).

I never thought it would be this good.

With the cheese boards well and truly sold out I thought the picnic table might be fancied, but no.....
