Hey DJ. Yeah, that's a fair point too. Everyone's a winner it seems. It's just important that the Geelong Football Club are sufficiently 'neutered' financially in the name of fairness to the AFL competition.

Just a view from the outside but is this perhaps just one of the benefits of being a swing constituency ? I'd be more concerned if it was a privately owned facility. It's not like money is being poured into a white elephant as the place is packed for every Geelong game and the stadium is part of a much bigger sports precinct. I don't doubt that it provides the Geelong Football Club with a big match day profit but you'd think that some element of that would find it's way back into government coffers via the Kardinia Park Trust.

LOL. If I were our no. 9 I'd also be taking out a court injunction to prevent the Deebrief from calling him Spargy Pants.

Didn’t I read somewhere that Nibbler was originally a midfielder ? ?

Yeah, that's bizarre that they grabbed some used season tickets @640MD but I'd be far more gutted about losing the Hasselblad. Mine are also just sitting in a drawer at home but I live on the west side of town and I don't think they'd be on the Apex gang's shopping list.

From the outside looking in he seems too clean cut and respectable to fit in at Collingwood. Clearly someone over there hasn't done their due diligence. The clean police record alone should have set off alarm bells.

I think the fanbase forfeited any right to suggest nicknames after milkshake. ??‍♂️

Dr Evil now batting at .500 ⚾?

LOL. Story of our lives. I used a stanley knife blade to round off the corners of the no 5 and then got a 9 printed on top. I then did the same with the letters and managed to change Mark Jackson to Dale Dickson. It must have taken me most of the summer to finish. I wasn't a fan of him but it was better than throwing out a good duffle coat. I had Crackers Keenan on it too and I think he just lasted the one season ??‍♂️

Yup. It was a very lean year. I went to every game bar the one against Geelong at the SCG. A year before they shipped poor old South Melbourne up there.

Geez. Why don't I remember that A de C ? I got my first duffle coat at the end of that season and had Jacko's name and number printed on the back. A year after that he was gone. He moved to St K (where his brother was) because we were too stuffy a club for him. Belting Robbie Flower at training probably didn't help his cause.

That was at the Western Oval in round 3. Robert Flower took a big mark in the goal square at the railway (southern) end of the ground deep in time on. It was my first season going to watch the Dees and my first away game.

I've got this one from 1987 on my fridge.

Signing this guy could be a real fillip.

That’s true PD but not at the time I wrote that post.

Yeah. Didn’t Yze interview for the senior role at Freo last year ? Hope he doesn’t trigger that clause with us. The ink has barely dried on his contract.

Enjoying the updates Dr Evil so keep them coming. I don't mind the occasional furphy.

Ah! Of course he did. Thanks for setting me straight Pennant.

Michael Voss ? Plenty of experience coaching a basket case football club. Did he play with Roosy at Brisbane too ? Adem Yze might be kicking himself he didn't wait another couple of weeks.

Maybe they have a plan to reassemble our 2018 forward line HW and sign both.

I find that how you compose your own post and reply to others goes a long way towards, dare I say it, a bruise free experience on DL. Once you've gained a reputation as a fair minded cyber person on the DL community fellow posters are less likely to take offence or misconstrue what you're trying to say and more likely to give you the benefit of the doubt if they're unsure.

Our one is more beige that Brown.

The only way this game could be any better would be if they drew and had to hub for another week then do it all over again. Pity they ended GF replays.

If Mitch would rather be not quite good enough at Footscray than us then that's his prerogative.
