Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him 

It's a speculative decision Jeremy, but I'm sure the club is stoked that he chose to stay in Melbourne, and I don't reckon he'd be on big bucks for the duration of this contract. He's an above average second ruck when needed, and when he gets his timing right I reckon he'll be a very dangerous option in the forward fifty going forward.

I'm sorry if it's been asked before, but which bay is our cheersquad in for the match? Thankyou.

Get him onto McQueens tomatoes, and it's two weeks at most.

Also, if I could mention Jack Viney again. This bloke used to be a bull in a china shop/ throw everything and anything at getting the ball, but he has become so meticulous and composed at what he is doing now it's not funny. Jack has evolved over the last 10 weeks into a genuine ball-winning machine, that always puts his teammates into attacking positions after he releases it every time. The pressure was on this father/son from the time he walked into the club, and we are now seeing a matured man who knows how to get stuff done.

Big day today.

First yield from my new hydroponics set up today. 
 

Tomatoes are so tasty. 
 

Okay job by the Dee’s today too. 🔴🔵💥

Always love your work McQueen, and I'm happy to 'taste-test' the "tomatoes" if you need a second opinion/confirmation... Go Dees

Apparently 3:30 at Blundstone Arena, entry via western gates, according to a post on Facebook. No player signing as they are on a tight schedule.

Thankyou Wheelo, legend!!!

Hi everyone, we arrived down at Hobart last night and very excited to be here for the game. Does anybody know if the boys will be having a light run at all today? Thanks.

On the tram down St Kilda Rd. Any decent food in the walk from Fed Square through Birrarung?

New York Minute burgers, on the Forum side of Flinders Street opposite Fed Square, 10 buck burgers and great chips.

Going to make a second posts with some other fun reference points directly related to this weeks round 3 fixture, 

TMac moves past Barassi to 205 games played

Viney moves clear of the Ox to 174 games

Petracca will have officially played more games than Jack Watts as a dee

Clarry's 150th moves him = with Whelan, Sean Wight and Jared Rivers

Brayshaw and Harmes are on track to share their 150th together and move = with Ivor Warne-Smith, Nathan Brown and Leoncelli this week (games 146)

ANB goes past Gerard Healy the dee to 131

Melksham is sneaking ever closer to 100 dees games and F/S eligibility (currently 96)

Spargo draws level with Trenners

Rivers moves past Ricky Petterd who he has currently got a mirrored record of (39-1-14) v (14-1-39), Sparrow is currently one game behind him.

Petty plays game 51 the same Vanders finished on, and still 1 shy of Dogga

Tomlinson moves even with Bugg, Scully and Wonaeamirri if named

and finally Bowey matches the games of Jimmy Toumpas

some contrasting careers in there hey!

This is brilliant, thanks Turner.

Max can provide some amazing silver service in the ruck. But on the whole I don’t think we capitalise on his time in the middle as much as we should.

His marking around the ground is a real weapon (when not 1 on 5). So my guess would be Grundy more time ruck, Max a combination of forward and copying Geel strategy this year of ruckman pushing back to increase the chances of an intercept mark. 

Two other advantages I can see are

1) We would really capitalise when the main oppo ruckman is having a rest, and coming up against the part-timer

2) We would have great match-up flexibility to switch Max & Grundy ruck/back/fwd depending on the opponent and their weaknesses/strengths 

 

Great post 1964_2, absolutely spot-on👍

Peter Bell to North might shake things up a little bit.

He was pushed out of the midfield to play HBF.  Problem is they have Hayden Young and  Jordan Clark and he can't push either of those guys out.  The worry for me is that he couldn't dislodge someone like Aish either.  

Mostly agree Grazman, but I reckon Aish has turned things around to be a fairly good player.

Just read someone suggest bringing in Schache. I’m tapping out, threads cooked.

If you're out then so am I. Trade pages without input from Ethan '#newsbreaker' Tremblay just doesn't make any sense.

It might just be me, but is anyone else getting Dr.D vibes from OP?

Jane Bunn is too busy carrying Livinia's bags to worry about what you think ern....

Can confirm that the Hawks supporters in the standing areas of the Southern Stand are still a bunch of arrogant knobs. Yet they were fairly quiet towards the end.

Hunt really struggled tonight, and I reckon it's time to bring the Weid in for T-mac.

Maybe I’ve done this correctly (?)

I’m not sure if this works. I hope so, it’s a great read!

Thankyou very much WCW, you are a legend on Demonland.

Hi all, just wondering where I would find the GF game day thread please??

My better half has been leaving jewellery brochures scattered around the house.

Never let it be said that I can't take a hint.  I'm going to buy her a nice magazine rack for Christmas.

This is gold.

Was "quarantining" for 14 days in SA ( heading to WA for the Granny)with my cousins and hired a car and headed for the Copper Coast ( Moonta) on the St Vincent's  Gulf where my father grew up. 
The Heritage Listed Moonta Mines has plenty of history and leaving one highlight I went to get back on the Adelaide/Moonta Highway only to see a Demon flag proudly flapping in the breeze at a homestead on the link road.Took a photo of it but my ignorance has prevented me from posting it attached or in the Flag  Flying post in D/L recently.

Wonderful 3 weeks 16 days in SA and 5 in WA culminating in the best tjing in my 73 years happening whi knows how many more we may enjoy with such a team ethos and superb list yo choose from.

Great venue Optus and the noise!!! 

BTW you are pro sly thinking how did he get there from Vic well I live in Brisbane ( for 28 years ) and are  a 55 consecutive year Dees member with GFG since 2018.

Want to see a flag at the G just as much next year.!! 

Brilliant 58, what a memorable experience!! 👍👍
