Roost it far

We didn’t lose the game because of the umpires but the AFL absolutely need to move to a professional model.

I hope there’s someone giving you a lot of hugs.

At least you can go to your meeting!

Life has to suck, so when it’s not sucking it’s extra good.

Don’t remind me. All I want is to jam Collingwood a new one on KB and then again in the finals. Personally I think that’s being very reasonable considering the circumstances. But first let’s just win tonight. Go Demons, unleash hell.

I used the wrong emoji first time up! sad day indeed.

The final against Carlton was a low point. I’ve ranted enough about that so we move to tonight. On first look I think we’re in for a 4 goal win but each time I look the margin gets closer. Cripps is a beast and Walsh is all class. If our mids aren’t on we’re in trouble. FFS kick straight and just win and preferably easily, if that’s even possible anymore.

I made it very clear sometime ago that I and many others require solid training reports by early afternoon. So please stop complaining about us complaining.

My thoughts are that the Blues will tire more than the Demons. You’ve had a gruelling 4 matches and you’ll be doing well not to be a tad physically and emotionally spent. I think that’s the opposite of what many feel is our 5 day break disadvantage.

That’s the worst training thread I’ve ever read but I found it rather enjoyable all the same.

They’ve played more footy than us lately. We’ve had a bye pre Richmond and 10 days pre Cats, I think it’ll be the Blues who are flat. They’ve had successive big games against GWS, Pies and Cats. We should be pretty close to cherry ripe.

Hard to argue but I’d also be happy to go unchanged.

I think we’re all still guessing. I’m in the happy if he stays and happy if we get a top 10 and a top 20 pick for him. The biggest advantage of him staying besides his obvious talent is every time an in doubt player signs it builds something intangible within the club and supporter base. It says to the football world “Why on earth would I leave this awesome club” For me, had I been good enough, all the money in the world wouldn’t have me leaving the Demons. P.S I was so bad at football I umpired 🤦‍♂️

I do what I can and I do it for the people. 💪

How does Roy end up a demon? is he in the mid season draft?

It’s not uncommon to play with 3 key targets in a forward line. Your boy Jefferson better get used to that

I never did anything other than back him in so count me out. My preseason comments were club focused. Besides this is a footy forum, we’re hear to listen to opinions. Some turn out wrong others don’t. It’s all part of the ride.

I baked myself a humble pie after looking at my preseason posting, happy to bake another for a few of you who dismissed Petty. I make it with lemons, nice and sour.

Parfitt and O’Connor are hardly top liners. Dangerfield out was the helper

You’re all a bit sensitive aren’t you? “We won but Chris Scott and the media aren’t fawning over us” Who gives a toss, we’re clearly the team to beat. We play finals type football and we have the talent on every line. We also have McAdam, Bowey, Hunter, Salem and BBB as possible ins. I’m not sure what I was worried about in the preseason……..oh I know, the thought of May and Gawn getting injured.

I reckon the Blues might fall apart in the second half, I’m expecting a 5-6 goal win

No change except perhaps Bowey. It seems we set ourselves for these 2 games. I’d say the boys will be mint on Thursday.

Looks like my preseason doom has well and truly cleared. TMac you absolute legend. Now for Carlton. You get a real sense that they’ve set themselves for these 2 games.

You’re a special human

Goodwin appears confident. i like that. I think we'll beat them with a systems based approach. Whilst I agree it's a football forum but we've got a woman dying every 4 days, stats would say men on this site are abusing woman.........the men on here have likely got a friend who abuses his partner so whilst maybe we don't discuss it here it's worth thinking about how we as men can do better, because doing nothing won't help.
