  1. If someone complain about you in the workplace you have a right to confidentiality. This protect all parties until the matter is independently investigated. My problem with this is the way the issue are preemptively given to the media. Imagine how you would feel having untested allegations against you aired to all and sundry. If Lumuumba had complaints he should have the right to lodge them and have them independently heard so they move from allegations to findings. If I read it right he refused to raise or hand over the issues due to a lack of trust. If the Pies or AFL process is deficient he should target that in the media not individuals. A deficient unfair process would have significant liability for an employer. Instead he humiliates people like Gary Pert who in every facet of his time as CEO has demonstrated himself to be a professional caring individual. It seem completely unfair to me and that is not to devalue Lumuumba allegations which if true are a stain on those involved

  2. 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

    True. I just think we should recognise that we aren't in form. We're playing like trash. We won't get close to Stkilda if we play like this.  People love talking about gears. When will we get into gear? If not round 7, round 10? round 18? round 23? finals? Who knows. 

    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

    The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

     

    How about talking up the team with 5 out

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

  5. 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 have to admit, I couldn’t believe Binman’s 47 point win tip and was very skeptical. Not that we wouldn’t win, but by such a large margin. Hats off to you @binman. You had the analysis and the belief!

    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!

  7. 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

    If you haven't seen the video the club put up with messages from all sorts of past players you need to see it.

    Surprising not to see Neale but I reckon they'll show them a speech from the great man pre game!

    Could be nothing more inspirational than hearing from him! 

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

  9. 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 share a barcode but only to longtime members of Demonland and I will prioritise those that have contributed financially to this site by taking out a Lifetime Subscription. 

    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

    Am from QLD and am not able to attend...Thanks McGowan. 

    If anyone wants to buy my barcode off me, let me know - won't want too much but a bit of a financial contribution for an expensive membership would be appreciated. 

    GO DEES

    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.

  12. 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.
