Anti-Saint

that list is from 2008 i take it by Mike Sheehan - a massive Robbie fan. I can easily find room for Robbie on that list by taking out these (interesting all but Silvagni were happy to dish outside of the laws of the game rules but were heralded as stars): 35. Stephen Silvagni 28. Jack Dyer 10. Greg Williams 7. John Nicholls 6. Tony Lockett 4. Gary Ablett 3. Ted Whitten 2. Leigh Matthews 1. Wayne Carey

hello this might not be the first time this topic has been canvassed on DL but I listened to last week's Deemonland podcast (the Rd 4 deefeat of Adelaide) today. I listen a week late as I, like many of us here, suffer from MFCSS - so I keep a positive game review in the bank for a week - so this week, after the Dee-vasting loss against the AFL-backed Brisbane - I listen to happiness and not the downer of a loss. On the Rd 4 podcast the question of Steven May or Jake Lever or Ed Langdon being our best recruit from another club. I love 'em all and boy how good our recruiting star Jason Taylor - recruited by coach Mark Neeld BTW! Some other names were raised: Dietrich twice from that organisation in Moorabbin (I can't type that name of that place); Jeffie White from FreddoFrogs; and Brett Lovett from Hawthorn reserves (three seasons in that club's seconds and not an easy club to break into during the Dawks' golden era: post-Matthews, but his approach to the game taken over by Brereton and Dippierdomenico and Lovett did not approach footy like them). I have two more names to add - as an honourable mention Henry Coles but what about Laurie Fowler? Fowler three Blueys. 1975, '79 and '80 (retired in 1981) and they were all when Robbie was playing. I am Dee-sappointed that Robbie only won on Bluey (1977). I looked up their games played in each of these four years as Robbie used to be humble when asked of his one-and-only Bluey stating how good Laurie was. So, 1975 Laurie all 22 games - Robbie 20; 1977 Laurie 17 games and Robbie 20; 1979 Laurie and Robbie both 21 games; 1980 Laurie 21 games and Robbie 22. I don't know the voting numbers of each but based on the Blueys - Laurie has to be one of the best recruits we've ever landed from another club. Just wish he'd wiped out Nicholls when wearing the RnB and not when playin for Dump Rd! And, can you believe it's been 10 years since Robbie died? thanks DL podcasters and bloggers. A-S

there's no penalty is there with appealing or can they give you more? who knows with the AFL penalty system?

it's simple - each year 800 players and 80 of those are turned over. Plenty have a few good years then off the edge they go - it's just the way of life and sport. Just saw Jaeger OMeara struggle for Freo after a dozen years in the system after a promising start. It's elite sport. Hope Mr Ed gets B.I.T. (back in town).

hi I am unsure if I am allowed to post this here as it is commercial. If thread is deleted I will understand. I have a party of three (all were Dees) but one has just had to pull out, so, you will be sitting next to me: Anti-Saint. The three seats are in Section 303-2, which is in the Western Stand, up the back, on the flank down the end where the Demon Army cheer. However, I am sure we will be in a Crows nest - I tried to get near Dees but Ticketek is not user friendly (that topic has been covered!). If you want this one ticket only then DM me (if you can on Demonland I have never DM a fellow member). I suggest we meet outside the Northern Entrance (Bob Quinn Gate) at say 7:15 and I will scan you in - cash at this time would be easiest. How does this sound? Go Dees!

The Texan doesn't look at the ball whereas Mabior does ... our JVR gets up high too but JVR doesn't raise his knee as high at Mabior and JVR shows the appropriate technique

nor was I Jackie Boy ... I love typing anything with lots of consecutive "eeeeeeeeeeeee"s ... I have a Deeeeee in my name and I sign off with Deeeeee now!

we love a Speeeeed Deeeeemon

hahahah - u got me

don't know as I tune out a lot now from media as it's full of hax

a tip FTB we drove on game day last year and West Hwy busy allow for lots of breaks and fools who want to tailgate on the single lane hwy and listen to DL podcasts!

Montagna should know too coming from the League's worst

Darcy couldnt spel Poor Aderlaid

I can't make up my mind and the only cheap seats are on the grassy hill - does anyone know if that is Hillbilly Hill at the Adelaide Oval? I would love to see us fix up Port as I do with any oppo!

where does Casey get its top up players? Is there a VFL 2s? We looked poor but top point Monbon

tks Norm top pen pics

hi I wonder if any group is going over and back on the same weekend by chance? I know the club is remaining in Adelaide but I would like to return. thanks Go Dees! A

he's ready for Hard Footy!!!

u can't say that!!

what a load of rubbish - what about Sheedy's 2000: 24 from 25 and then?

oh that's easy .... $s. The AFL floats on booze and gambling $s and every other revenue stream it can find. So the opportunity cost to rent out its Docklands Stadium, built with the support of government so as to create another mecca for footy, to a non-footy venture makes more money than $20 ticket to the AFLW GF.

r there tix left does anyone know?

how are we going to fit in Gay/Harris into this team? I can see that Gall will drop back but who else as there were no injuries.

agree KITP. It's too far, too windy, too hard to park, and, it's not in keeping with modern AFL to have the wind not be a factor - does anyone know if we have made in the past 15 years headway into a fan-base in Casey?

thanks JoeBoy for anoyher season of reflections. May - give him Bluey !
