Deesprate

Steve May is absolutely critical. Great player but he is our General and enforcer. After years of woeful recruiting I can hardly think of a step wrong in recent times. May recruitment was a master stroke. He is on the couch tonight for those with Fox will be interesting to hear him and how he bounced back from his early setback at Dees

We so owe Eagles just want to smash em

This post must be a joke. 7 zip win without our coach and players out with COVID. Gears were displayed when we blew them off the park. Some supporters are never satisfied

Totally agree Dwayne call was incredibly irritating. Awesome win under the circumstances we didn’t even have our coach

Pathetic umpiring

Is it just me or has Dwayne put his pay packet on Dorks plus can Frosty kick in all day

This team a Ferrari.All the years of heartache enjoy

Weed good onyx Sun

AFL tokenism she totally destroyed what was a magic moment. Of course no replay or commentary

Not a premiership player but a premiership clubman. Will still be linked to history and reunions in 2061! Loved this guy if you had to go in the trenches he is your man. I hope most of the delisted guys can get away from Victoria. Being delisted and lockdown talk about hitting reality.

I was so certain of this game. How the Doggies with Martin/English were meant to compete defies logic. So it panned out. The Dogs as predicted got most of their centre clearances from the defensive side where ours well blitzkrieg. Another prediction that was spot on was who would kick Doggies goals when Naughton failed. The answer no one. My only surprise is how we got 19 points behind but the brilliance of Bont and Treloar. Not that it mattered made the turn around so much sweeter. I tipped a 57 point victory with a 39.5 plus margin at $5.70. The rhythm of 57 was a massive omen thanks Nom. A massive cash injection coupled with enormous relief at jagging the cup. Watched the game in Arlie Beach and I’m sure I spotted a delirious Demonlander with a white signed alternate strip. Noice!

Congratulations to the Demonland podcast team. George and Binmans analysis has been spot on. So called experts flogging the once every 28 days (2 in 29) rubbish and calling it a 50/50 game. Dees have been head and shoulders best team but no one wanted to acknowledge it. Not any more it will now all be about dynasties. The podcasters were spot on about defensive system (some expert equating that to being boring) and I for one was convinced after we beat Tigers this team was different. Rushed out bought grand final guarantees but COViD and WA premier stuffed that (I will never step foot in WA again). Andy please tell me your MFCSS is busted the boys were right all along. Finally after 57 years Deesprate no more. Thank you to everyone on this site it has helped me through the dark times but hey wasn’t last night worth it. Simply incredible 17 goals to 1. Petracca for PM or Premier at least. #Deespratenomore

That is so sad and on GF day with both his team playing. Greg was a great player; mark but poor kick. He mad many barren days at the MCG late 60s early70s enjoyable.

Good luck to you shout your lungs out.

Thank you awe inspiring.

Thank you

Can a link be posted can’t see it on the site

They need to put down the crack pipe

For those who can attend I am so envious. I bought GF guarantee pre season for my wife and I as i just believed in this team. Unfortunately for me Queenslanders are required to quarantine so I am screwed. This is despite no community transmission for weeks. Anyway for those who attend please post pics and cheer your hearts out. What a privilege to be there and witness history.

I am happy to follow that lead if you want to prioritise I will allocate 2 guarantees once I make a final decision tomorrow afternoon

NTG are you concluding there is no way the status will be reduced from low risk to very low risk. This latest issue in Brisbane there has been no community transmission. Isn’t it possible Qld could go to low risk in which case no quarantine. I have two priority one allocations if I cant use them and allowable am happy to pass them on. Will no more tomorrow morning when barcodes are sent. Have been a member since sixties when they clipped your card going through turnstiles. Shattered I might not be there but am still going to lap it up with big function my place. I knew we would crush cats there old man strategy was a house of cards.

Scott spoke really well. Acknowledged how good Dees are. Let hope we can emulate the Cats success.

Geelong thug

If you look at this realistically we go in with significant up side. Top v Third; Injured v Uninjured; All Australian 5 v 1 (Stewart injured); Under 22 3 v 0; Goal kickers over 20 5 v 3; Total stats top 10 3 v 0 etc etc. if it wasn’t for history and MFCSS all of us would be supremely confident. I for one am embracing this game I simply think we are the better team. Of course it possible to lose but with all these advantages it will take a 1958 level upset for it to happen. It has taken to long to get here for me not to suck it up and enjoy the week. If doubt creeps in I remind myself of these facts and no matter what happens it is all positives compared with the despair of the Neeld era. I attended 87; 88; & 2000 and hoped rather than believed. This is a whole different wonderful experience.

Greene needs to be rubbed out it totally not on to walk into an umpire it sends a horrible message. After playing the game I decided to umpire and got a reserve grade grand final. I was shirt fronted by a player and close to knocked out. I am not comparing the two but if you don’t protect umpires you have no game. That player copped 10 years and another two years (ex state player) for a push no harder than Greene. I never umpired another game and if I was wavering this Greene decision will push some into a similar decision. in relation to Toby he came from a broken family and from all accounts had a very tough time with his father. It no excuse but there would be a lifetime of experiences that bring him to this point. An earlier poster questioned GWS leadership and I agree. Where is the mentoring his problems have been obvious. The penchant for the club to alway plead not guilty is part of the problem. If they took a stronger stance internally maybe this would happen.
