BDA

Does anyone know the real reason why he was delisted by St Kilda? injury, work rate, attitude??

She didn't just raise the tanking issue she said it was equivalent to the Essendon drug scandal. There is no comparison at all.

I assume GC have cap issues as a result of paying overs to retain their players Past time to draw a line through the GC experiment. A cap crunch might be the trigger for the AFL to see sense. Either move to Tassy or wind them up

Our 2021 was perfect. we won the flag

Very sorry to hear this Dof. These scumbags are the lowest of the low. They take advantage of people's trusting nature. It's very difficult to be alert to this all the time. I work in a finance role and i can guarantee you that this type of stuff is happening all the time. You only have to be off guard just the one time and they have you. I hope you can recover from the financial hit. These bastards have robbed people of their life savings so i hope thats not the case with you.

Get lost @Craig Hutchinson

...I was about 5 beers in

weekend sorted

Far better to be hated than pitied. Nothing worse than rival fans not having the heart to banter us because we were so wretched

Would like to get Geelong as one of our Top 6 double-ups so we can keep pushing them towards the cliff

Interview with goody in the preseason. He was spot on with everything he said https://www.afl.com.au/video/556395/can-the-dees-push-for-a-premiership-in-2021-?videoId=556395&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1615143600001

If Tayla Harris can settle in and kick the goals we're a great shout for the flag

Great work DIO. much appreciated

I intend to sup an ale or 2 and watch the replay with my mates (via zoom)

I agree. He looked terrible at the AGM

Now that we've made Optus our biatch I want to play the Eagles in Perth next year. After the horror show in 2018 i want to see the looks on the Eagles fans faces when we pump their team.

I thought he was ousted by the board. His comments suggest otherwise End of the day i don't think it matters whether he resigned or was pushed. We have a flag and that's the main thing

We have a gun womens team as well. I reckon we can do better than 1 AFLW premiership.

Repeat Premiers in my lifetime?

Ben Brown is a smart cookie. He won't be relying on his footy earnings to survive once he hangs up the boots. Many players turn down bigger offers to move so they can stay and enjoy premiership success. I highly doubt he regrets his decision to join the Dees.

They lost 2 of their last 3 at home this season (v us and GWS). The home advantage won't save them from the cliff

Hindsight makes fools of all of us. Not her biggest mistake by a all long way. Not a Caro hater but she had a shocker grand final week. Kicked off with a nothing story about a club curfew and followed up by comparing the tanking saga to the Essendon drug saga. Not her finest work at all.

I was just thinking this morning how fast the world has moved on from the GF and this article popped into my feed. https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/10/01/relentless-thirst-for-trade-gossip-robbed-demons-and-fans-chance-to-drink-in-legendary-gf-triumph/ Describes my thoughts exactly. Trade talk has taken over and our victory is old news already. There are so many great stories to tell (the writer is right about Ron Barassi – would love to see and hear his response to our win). I wish someone told these stories Anyways, I would have liked the focus to stay on us a while longer yet. Can’t wait to Rd1 next year to see the flag unfurled.

I agree with you on this one. The club should do as much as it can to ensure players meet the members. And especially meet the kids. They are the next generation of members so we should do everything we can to cement the bond that the GF win creates. The club have been very well run this year so I reckon the Covid restrictions have a lot to do with the lack of interaction and that can’t be helped Next time pull your boy from school if it means he gets to an open training session. One day out of school is nothing compared to the experience of meeting the players

unsurprisingly they look drained and hungover.
