I heard it was April 4 - 7 which is Easter. Anyways even if it is the week after, it’s still during school holidays. Airfares and accommodation will skyrocket, it will be worse than last year. Rex currently have flights to Adelaide during that period starting from $79. But we don’t know on which day the Dees will be playing and by the time we find out there’s no way flights with any carrier will be affordable. The AFL are absolutely killing any sort of incentive for fans to attend matches. I’ll be attending no matter what, but it’s probably gonna be like this year: in a car, there and back on the same day, which sucks.

Gather Round 2024 during the Easter holidays… just great. 🤬

I have a soft spot for Hugh. He lost his mum to breast cancer six years ago, he was only 25. He took it really hard and to this day still points to the sky after kicking a goal. 😔 Interestingly, his grandfather played for Melbourne and played in the 1955 - 1957 grand finals.

But we spent a lot of time letting teams punish us, so… there’s something for everyone. 🥳

I did once coz DL (collectively) told me to. 😆 At one point I caught myself muttering under my breath “come on Jake” (Stringer) and forgot all that’s good in the world. I knew I was mere minutes away from “come on Jakey” so I stopped barracking for them and it turned out we won the flag regardless. 😃

Tell your friend no one would ever be banned from BDSM, especially if they’re suffering with MFCS&M 😁 which is pretty much everyone on DL. Amirite!

You mean Gerard had to take over commentating, right???

Oh, I thought Rab meant he’s…. Never mind.

Anyone know how to un-imagine something? Asking for a friend.

I watch Carlton matches in a group thread that comprises me and anywhere up to 20 Blues friends. I love them but geez, they’re absolutely insufferable right now. Idk which is worse, when they’re being thumped (again) or when they’re playing as they are today. I kinda get the hate for the Blues on here. *checks to make sure she’s not accidentally posting this in the Carlton group chat* 😬

BDA would never be banned from the Demon Army. 🙂

Is there a more ebullient commentator than Tubby Taylor?! He’s a joy to listen to 🤗

Having ‘nam flashbacks to round 10 vs Port where we sat in the nonstop driving rain, freezing our arzes off and forgetting all that’s good and holy in the world. Thinking things couldn’t possibly get any worse. Then losing the game and having to hotfoot it back to the hotel ensconced in a throng of belligerent drunk Port supporters. Good times 😳

Hashtag random. 😂 You remember this score info, or you looked it up?

Not easily done, Rab. Images are “optically centred” meaning more space at the bottom than at the top. Also we have to be mindful of the top of the banner sagging forward or backwards at the top (Buddy was decapitated on his milestone banner last week because they stuck him on too close to the top). Another thing to consider is that the middle of the bottom of the banner must have minimal tape since that’s where the players run through. Also, we have to include several flaps (we cut out three sides of a 12 x 12inch-ish square every few feet) lest the banner turns into a 17th century sailing boat. 😬 These flaps have to be taken into account in terms of letter placement. The front lettering lining up with the back lettering can’t usually happen, different number of lines, wind flaps etc. I understand what you mean about cutting the outline of the player, but that can’t happen with a montage, and that’s what the Club likes to have.

Now for the Cotchin show 🙄

They paint everything! Anything that can be painted, they’ll paint it. And if you ask them why they’ll simply say, “we like painting.”

Redundant question. Too many variables. Should we also be wondering how we’re any chance to beat GWS? Again, too many variables.

You won’t need them. 😉

SAY IT AGAIN!!!!! There’s still 50 seconds left!

Sneaky lil Toby! Love watching him play.

… and an abundance of cantankerous old grumps.

Demonland’s resident nutcase will be watching this match on TV. ☹️ I’ve always wanted to attend an Alice match but it’s beyond my means. The airfare alone would see my son and me on a forced diet for a month. 😭 Mainly him since he eats the equivalent of a small village, livestock included, in a single day. Every day. 😁 I’ll likely watch it at The Sporting Globe in Richmond with others who can’t go for whatever reason.

Based on this after any given match half our players would be dropping themselves. But LOL at the thought of ANB or Spargo or any player actually saying this to Goody. 🤣

Got it on now. 👍🏽
