Isn't this more important than football?

 

Sure if you believe it

Couldn't see this anywhere else on Demonland and think it's worth a thread. Sam Edmund from SEN reported yesterday that the start time for Friday night games may change from 7.50 pm Melbourne time to 7.20 pm. However, I haven't seen any follow up news, so not sure whether it's true or not. I would support such a change.

Here's the story: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/05/25/friday-night-football-set-for-time-change-in-huge-win-for-fans/

 

Thats good.  Now that I think about it, 7 50 pm was way too late to start.  Must have had something to do with $$$$

what the [censored] is wrong with Viney. It was supposed to be a 1-2 weeker. now its bloody 6-7 weeks! come on club, we need some bloody reporting on this. He is a barometer for us. 

Its so annoying.  Going forward I think we should expect at most about 15 games a year from Jack, he will need to be managed forever.

Viney still 2-3 weeks away

Salem available 

Awesome that Salems back.

Viney is so frustrating....  need him out there soon, our midfield walks taller with him.

Bad preparation for the Dogs, same as the Swans the week we played them.

A loss would really suck now.

I reckon Baker would be a chance to come into the team, maybe for Melksham

Baker played well at Casey - as least stats wise

Would be nice if Baker took the next step as we need a real winger with some speed who can break the lines.

So we are 10-0 then.

Why haven't afl.com updated their ladder?

Win a flag and then they're in the conversation.  Theyre obviously  a brilliant duo though,  best in the league.

Wont be a crowd at the biggest game of the year.  Think about how absurd that is.

I'm on board - he was guilty until proven innocent - by a magistrate.

An ABC producer is now accused of putting some mayo on the accusations as in "tell it like this it sounds more deplorable".

The me-too movement did good in highlighting crimes against woman but the notion that belief in the veracity of an account trumps the presumption of innocence is wrong.

As a Dinosaur I get uncomfortable with public displays of emotion such as Craig's. He is in the theatre and he is also suing for defamation which tempers my trust in his account. But the arguments were made in court and found in his favour and I dont doubt that the PC world of the ABC and theatre will have condemned him without trial.

The ABC getting taxpayer money is the greatest scam ever perpetrated on the Australian public.

I believe it was the highest score from turnovers from any team so far this year.

We have the next few days week to rectify it because the Dogs will be be licking their lips at that stat.

Bowey to tag Daniels !

If Hunt has another bad game Friday night, you have to like Boweys chances of a debut vs the Lions.

Groin.

Thats rarely a one game off scenario.  if its a proper groin he may be out a while.

I will always call it Docklands.    Marvel, I mean come on....

Reminder that Oliver is still just 23 years of age.

Luke Jackson will explode this game.  This is the week.

Possibly a Sandra Sully, but Treloar is a confirmed out.

I know some Dogs supporters who were hopeful he'd be ok to play, but he's out for a couple of months.

Treloar is always injured.

Bad luck Doggies, you get what you pay for.  (or in this case what Collingwood pays for.)

4th best ever individual game since 2010 under the Player Ratings model.

Watching him on the TV was amazing. The supporters that attended the game must have been picking up their jaws with that display. 

Jake Melksham is 6th on that list lol

Whats funny is that the guy Essendon took at pick 5 behind Oliver, Darcy Parish, is finally having a breakout season but  is still a about three levels below Clarry who is now a footballing god.

Moving up to pick 4 to get Oliver was a stroke of genius.

If anyone was  offended (particular South aussies who follow the dees)  with some of my rants after the game re drone striking adelaide etc  I am sorry  Just venting after a shock loss.  I actually like travelling to Adelaide (go regularly to rock shows) and the people there are friendly.  Crows were good Sat night (not crows fault  umpire froze) we were a bit down on form...................Now for friday night

Agree 100% with you on the drone strikes, long overdue I say.

Backs

Our strength this year - our system and skills are excellent, Salem, Lever, May, Rivers, Petty, Tomlinson but not Hunt who is a one trick pony - his tackling pressure is ineffectual, his kicking unreliable.

 

 

We need to get Bowey in for Hunt sooner rather than later.  The team will improve even further with that swap.  Our skill level will improve dramatically.

LOL blocked me because I called out our woeful performance.

The hysteria on this forum is bizarre. Won the game against Crows except for some appalling umpire decisions, when the team was not having its best day in front of 50k idiotic Crows fans.

 

It was a terrible loss to a rubbish team.  We were pitiful.   Nothing to do with the umpires.

We are now just 2 games clear from 5th spot.  Could be out of the top 4 in two weeks time.

I’m starting to think our best forward line is with TMac , Fritsch and Jackson/ Gawn with no Weed or Brown.

 

Think you are on to something there DZ.
