I remember when we failed to take Jack Darling all those years back because he was rumoured to be a bit rough around the edges and took Lucas Cook instead still haunts me. Sometimes you have to rely on your coaching fraternity to sort those behaviour issues out but then again we may have lacked that finesse at the time!!

Every other club passed on JD too.  He went at pick 26 and would have been a disaster at the Dees.

I know I often bring things back to me and it annoys some, but when I was a cop, treating a crook fairly and not being too 'Baptist' with chastisement after a physical confrontation was often commented upon by the crook, especially the older ones, the words that come back to me are 'You new guys are making it hard to hate you'.

Crikey, Clarrie picking up Tex does lead to some interesting places.

As a young fella I avoided the police and kept out of their eye.  Not hard as i was no trouble.  Recently my stepson had an absolute episode and came to the attention of the police. And the courts.  Can I just say that what was a difficult time for the family ended well.  The police were fantastic.

That is harsh.  Stanley does have a headband.

Are we really turning into geelongites. This whole Walker thingamejingles is a joke. Wouldn't [censored] in his ear if his brain was on fire.

I would but I would drink kerosine first

Whilst it agree with my sense of sportsmanship and fair play I still remember Justin Madden getting traded from the Dons because he was seen smiling hours after a loss.

How the times have changed.

Still Tracc and Clarries ability allows them to do what they like.

Get in their heads and mess with them.

By the look on their faces we are certainly doing that.

And getting into mine as well.

It has nothing to do with toughness

Totally agree on that.  It is not being soft, and we are not soft.

I always thought that you did everything to an opponent to expend their energy, and helping them up is the opposite to that.

I think TMc coming back this season is wishfull thinking

Last year I noticed that it was a very rare event when one of our players on the bottom of the pack was not given a helping hand up off the ground by a team mate.  It was a feature of our game, and still is.

Then I noticed that we gave an occassional friendly pat on the back for an opponent who stood up in the contest, or a first gamer.

Then I noticed that we gave the occassional helping hand up to an opponent.  Last year Clarry offered his hand to Duncan? (cats) who declined the offer.  Oliver and Tracc are regulars at it this season and I think Rivers helped up a surprised Conoglio (GWS).

But wait there is more.  Keep a tight grip on your hair piece.

Against the Crows Clarrie gave a a helping hand up to the Texan.  Unbelievable.

Now times have changed since the VFL days in how the game is played and for that matter where your team mates come from.

Are we too friendly? 

By the way I havent seen May, Viney or Petty do this.

Crikey, this is 1st vs 2nd again

Hardly surprising that Angus can do that when the highlights from the Freo game make very clear that his brother can teleport.

Or to harmes for a kick in the head.....

While Dangerfield is rated as a champion

Due to his age he plays like a champion for only about a quarter.  After that he can be a passenger.

I have been advised that the win/loss record currently stands at

Neeld 5 Wins 28 losses

Noble 5 Wins 29 Losses 1 draw

But the Brown ruck free kick, the Oliver coat hanger, the Langdon hold as he was set to receive a handball and the complete lack of free kicks was as bad as I’ve seen.

I also thought that if you are going to pay head high when Tex ducks then you have to pay both sides.

Clarry was a shocker, Brown mark, Fogs? spectacular non attempt at a mark, Brayshaw didnt drag it in....

but the obvious reason for the discrepancy was that we had the ball.

Obviously need a back up ruckman.

Didnt JT say last year 'Sooner or later we will have to draft a ruck'.

Monster key fwd  would be handy as well.

An ok game but needs a steak.  Easily moved out the way.

No. I feel (for different reasons) that he's the fall guy for an inept club much the same as the late Dean Bailey. Hiding to nothing stuff. For starters, their recruiting has been atrocious

Gee ours wasn't too flash...

Is Noble worse than Neeld?

I would have Rowell anyday

I havent seen the game but the umpires were terrible

I have not been on Demonland for a while and this is the first thread I walk into. I must admit, it did give me a laugh.

Where have you been?  Get a life. 🙂

Trac and Ollie are GODzillas

Getting nervous.....

Yep, I read the title as

What would i have to do to turn Hogan into May, in like a physical sense.,

So I thought of nights out at the boxing, fancy restaurants, beverages, crap haircut....

but then...

6 drops of essence of terror

5 drops of sinister sauce

(yes you can lick the spoon)

and tip the tincture of tenderness down the toilet.

That should do it.

And this is why I don’t think ANY music should be played at any stage at the footy.

If they must then it should be aimed at 10 yr olds and younger.  Music from Bluey or Paw Patrol comes to mind.

On a slightly different note I think free kicks went 3+ in the Lions favour.

Has Bevo called for a  Royal Commission?
