Fanatique Demon

It’s crazy that the VFL season starts at AFL round 5. Surely that has to be fixed next year.

Sign of maternity for sure, to be able to take well intentioned feedback. (And in that spirit, it’s rapt, not wrapped - or wrapt as we sometimes see on this forum. Rapt, as in rapture.)

Have we gone a bit early with the indignation? I didn’t think the side had been announced yet.

Good post, Lucifer and others. But a slight correction on these distances. This from AFL... The Mark shall be set at 15 metres from the centre of the Kick-Off Line towards the centre of the Playing Surface at Kick Ins. This was previously set at 10 metres.

Too long a commute for me. ?

Interesting. I have a friend who is a mad St Kilda supporter who, like you, doesn’t follow other teams. I thought he’d be the only fan with that approach. (He’d never heard of Caleb Daniel or even about the new man on the mark rule, but he seemed to know the vital statistics of every Saints player.) It’s great to be passionate, but the trouble is that it is easy to get carried away with our ability and not have a realistic view of the opposition.

You mean her diction is FOIN? it’s true the French are particular about how they speak. I am too, and always have been. Clearly you and I have different standards, but that’s ok. What would a forum be if we all just agreed?

A good win, spoiled only by the shocking voice of Kelli Underwood. « He kicks down the loin »; « has he got spaaace and toim?» Fox should send her for elocution lessons. It would be well worthwhoil.

Jones is a polarising figure on here. I thought he was ok today, and at least better than in the first two rounds. On the votes thread, someone included him in our best six. Meanwhile, others are saying drop him now or let him get to 300 and retire. Proving once again, you can’t please all the people all the time.

Rivers: best 2021 game Jones: pleasantly surprised me

Would you have liked it better if I said a cheese sandwich and a glass of red? Because that’s all it is.

A civilised game time for us CHF. Enjoy your roast. I will have a perfect baguette from our artisan boulanger, with some exceptional cheese and a glass of Pecharmant to accompany a Demon win. Cheers.

That’s awful. Unless you mean the opposite. ?

That’s a rather binary approach. So unless we know the facts, anything else is useless? What’s it like living such a black and white life?

It would be good to know the salaries of the top 10 players at Richmond so we could compare our top players’ salaries. Does anyone know or have a sensible guess?

Huh?

Surprised that Jones received votes from some. But I guess we all see it differently.

Did I hear correctly in Goodwin’s presser that we won 6 of the last 9 games last year? If that’s correct, then we’re now at 8 from 11. It’s a long time since we were in that position. Brown played in none of those 11. Imagine what we could do if we had our best 22 on the park.

It was a team warning for not having players in 666 positions.

Fun to watch when we’re playing well. I thought a few players were a bit selfish in front of goal, going back for a set shot when there was a player free, closer to goal. And the dropped uncontested marks were costly. Other than those two points, I am very happy - and I still have the afternoon and evening to bask in it.

I thought Hunt was very good today.

Bedtime here now. I’ll be watching at breakfast time. I’m hoping for a full team effort but I’m worried about their big forwards (Membrey loves playing us) and their quick, little guys. Go Demons!
