Fanatique Demon

4. The Sparrows, Jordans, Bakers, etc, did not really give any glimpse that that they're anything more than the next Gysberts, Mortons, Tapscotts, Bleases, etc.

Perhaps we have too many plural players.

and his mate Corporal Punishment 

As long as Major Disappointment isn’t there.

I like the dream of Kobe Farmer coming to the Demons. But in yesterday’s hit-out he looked like an ordinary suburban player. ?

Yes, Robbie was all class and as skilful as they come. But Barassi was an inspirational player who could turn a game on his own. The epitome of G&D. I was fortunate to see them both. Barassi, followed by Flower, then I don’t really care. 

ANB surprised with a couple of clever acts today. 

D’acc.

None the wiser.

I don’t know what “no T$ no B$“ for this post means. And I’m not going to read through 1065 pages to find out. Can anyone help, please?

I paid for my overseas membership in October and soon after received the confirmation e-mail.  However - like every other year - I am locked out of the watchafl app. I have written to them to restore access, but haven’t had a response yet. The gift pack (is there one?) hasn’t arrived.
Last year they asked if I would like to forgo the gift in favour of a young supporter. I agreed and supplied my grandson’s name. But, for some silly reason, that isn’t part of the deal. They give the gift to someone of their choosing. Not a great way to bring the next génération into the Demon’s fold.

Just read the AFL article.  Jones was the only one who did not achieve All-Australian status. Most of the others had multiple AA representation. Sad but true. 

Jones was fantastic for us over many years. But iirc, he has never been an All-Australia. So while great for us, it shows how far we (and he) were behind the competition.

Some of us rely on good taste picket !!

But very few of us use our real picture. Brave move, Bitter.

Agree, 58.  What we’d lack in experience would be covered by speed.

Had a crack -

Spargo, Lockhart & Baker a bit stiff. They love Sparrow too so I'm sure he probably find his way in but no idea where he fits.

 

Interesting, young team. But hard to imagine that five of our best 22 would be in their first or second season.  

Lucky I’m too old to play. My surname has 12 letters.

I think at one stage a few years ago there was a suggestion that the Commissariat was thinking of ditching the numbers and just use surnames ( no doubt also freeing up space for more advertising).

I think it was suggested names AND numbers, rather than instead of numbers.

Thanks for that, Hero. Interesting reading.

Can’t sleep, Werridee?  Would like to know the story behind the Werridee name. 

I remember that goal. We lost the next week to Footscray (I think). We went on to win the premiership through Crompton's goal. If it weren't for Hassa's goal, we'd have missed the finals altogether. 

Good. Now, if he can just learn to take the first option and to kick with his right foot. Winner.

Could be a tie? Max and May, then Trac 1st?

If there's a tie, the other places slip back. E.g. First, tie for second, then it's fourth.

Thanks Dee-lusional. I figured that out just after I posted the question and my espresso kicked in. ?

Well both Wagners and Dunkley have been delisted for now

I hope that spells the end of references to Wagner's and Wagners'.

Angus Brayshaw  Another member of our massive ‘96ers club,

Would you please explain the '96ers club? I'm not familiar with that term.

Is Ben the runt of the litter? Never even heard of him until today.

Ben Silvagni was drafted on name alone.

They needed more Bens.
