58er

Tmac should have been switched onto Wright last night and Maysie spending a stint up forward for awhile. I believe we need Tmac in defence sometimes as very big players can monster May ( Admittedly this us the first time in about 35 games Maysie has lowered his colours. Not a bad effort.

Yes it's a real debate Casey our home ground advantage but I can't help thinking about the great footy ( against admittedly an under strength Freo) on the big stage at Optus. Let's be positive and this gritty and resourceful team can win no matter what. Belief is high and confidence also. Go Dees your inspiration are our mighty 2021 male heroes.

Well Fox does On Thurs Fri and Sat night and 3.20 Sunday ( AEDT ) take the great commentaries from BT and Co.

That's very strange OD. Both 2020 and 2021 have been completed and signed off as "done and dustied" by the Tigers. And you are well aware that despite the revelry and celebration of our Demon masses the games finished in 2021 on that last Saturday in September!! So your assertion that " a game will even happen " is totally incorrect. What is more accurate is "when it will happen" as we all understand what Covid ( sorry to mention) has affected even the AFL. BTW have you actually got to the G yet? Threatened for late July etc. last year but no games had spectators. Did you get to the Grand Final replay in Round1 ? Or even to the Dec 5 celebrations?

Probably Need more phone clarification from Club but also Melb FC have a separate temporary style building just off the walkway between Gates 3 and 4.for this very reason. If need be it seems best to go early if you can to sort out. Obviously your phone is prime evidence unless you have been able to print out the Guest Pass. Good luck .

Fox Footy start their coverage at 6.30 pm after AFL Tonight. That's their ploy to get viewers early and not go back to Ch 7 after news or whatever !! At 7 pm. If you look at the game day or MFC team listing the game time start is always given correctly. Don't be fooled the AFL also jump about with starting times just to keep us on our toes !!

Most D/landers do not always take into account conditions or "players playing their role " when calling for change. It was a game played in slippery conditions with a ground that had a lot of water that week. No forward ( or defender other than our great Stephan May ) looked like getting votes off the mids and rucks. That surely indicates mostly small cameos or the also anomaly of the smallest ( and smartest and whatever other accolades you are able to throw around) player in Bowser got votes either. In a way it was a pretty good slog between two sides having a go and providing some high class mid field dominance and when we turned for home at orange time our "rider" declared that the whip was not to be used to extend our percentage. A Very good in racing terms "jump out" for our boys with the conditions especially against taller key position players who depend upon marking first their game. How many times did Maxy or Tmac get hands on the ball only for it to drop to the ground? Stats are every thing to some D/Lers and no matter what are always king. But Goody and Co are too smart for that trick and don't pull the lever for team and role players if they feel that circumstances considered justify no changes. There is an opposition and again has any player been totally out if his class in two Rounds yet? Hunts game vs Dogs on Weightmann was good so one poorer game does not mean changes to an already unsettled ( but playing near to its best considering availability) defence with a 70 pts average in 2 games following just 60 plus ( best since our '56 backline) or similar in 2021. Now that Casey are up and running we also get some reliable form to compare. Boy I can predict what will be the D/L call if Mitch Brown gets another 7? Tmac will need at least 3 or 4 to hold him off! And Hunty a few dashes with great disposal won't be unnoticed!!

Christian Salo says HI

Because he was contracted I reckon.

Whasn't it end the of 2020 with Tmac both were in same boat and look at what transpired last year and now.

I have always believed that had Swarta not got injured we may have jagged a Flag in the 1990's say 98 perhaps.

28-7-1 since Port loss I reckon . 2020 run was W Adelaide W North L Dogs W Pies W Saints LSwans LFreo W GWS W Bombers 6-3 plus 2021 20-4-1 and 2-0 in 2022. That makes 28-7-1 in 36 games BTW Goody's record is 64 - 48 - 1 since Round 1 in 2017 over 113 games.

Ridiculous comment Tmac was great vs Dogs. Take a pill he is playing team footy snd the forwards feed off it.

Don't agree Living in SEQ when last week in Melb for the GF Replay it seemed more humid than in Qld. Seems like Climate Change is occurring before our eyes. Some Victorian friends have remarked on the humidity this summer in Melbourne! My T shirt and Polo were soaked wet by the time I walked from MCG to my City Hotel.!!

Did you see Robbie Jim or Gaz play to compare?

We have won last 7 in 2021 and 2 in 2022 which makes 9 and nearly matches 2 in 2020 and 9 in row start of last year for 11.

It's actually 24-4-1Last two games im 2020 20 last year and 2 in 2022. If you start with the last 9 in 2020 wE are 28-7-1

Last week Tom was good

Agree TC zi thought Angus kicking and disposal was excellent last night both in style of passes and consistency on very good delivery. Jordon was good and I thought Tommo saved us plenty of homes in defence. Kudos to all in defence msybe Hunty was off but all the others stood up well and teamed together and agsin put pressure in the Suns in attack as did the mids.

Read the website, papers or watch TV!!! We are not your news service!!!

They didnt have the injuries in Dec, Jan and Feb !!! Thats why!

Hope the girls are allowed a training run on the G beforehand ie during the week.

Thanks for the tip Sydee.Anu

Well after 6 months of fame BBP you have made one of the most ungrateful and unsportsmanlike comments about about 3/4 of our team not being heroes in our magnificent drought breaking flag. Despite your churlishness that is not what 99.9% of Dees fans (you may in fact be the only one) thank goodness have celebrated the 2021 Flag. In fact the 23 on the day plus all players who played from ONE game up and indeed were in our list of 44 for the year deserve recognition for the success. There had to be a Norm Smith medallist and our Top5 were all amazing but the rest including Jacko Riv and Kossie and JJ all played their team role and greatly contributed. Go back and watch the game and see that EVERY DEMON played his heart out for US yes loyal fans but also for the 300,000 plus other Demon supporters throughout the world who have lived and breathed for that day. Boy you can ruin a party and not be appreciative of hours and days and months of training and dedication to go to the top of the mountain. You have just left a party of about 17 at base camp because they weren't adjudged in the top 5 or 6 on the day. Glad that there are so many more balanced and understanding people in life and sport who recognise true greatness when it is right in front of them. That is TEAM SPORT BBP and your namesake was a great example of that I am surprised you didn't go for a Band F winner instead! Maybe an apology would be appropriate to about 17 - 35- 44 Flag Heroes you have just dismissed and devalued by the flick of your finger!

Yes they are and after 57 years fully deserve to be. It's relative to the achievement and I understand hero has an expectation of life and death associated with it. Often may have to receive a badge or commendation perhaps. Yes a medal I dare say. ( or two!) I have loved all the adjectives such as "flag hero" "Drought breaking premiership" "57 year long wait" and the no longer "long suffering supporter/s". Its all part of sports folklore as the words repeat back to back or successive are this season!! Go Dees !!
