Your friend was right. Nice one, DZ!

That was someone else’s prediction, not @Dee Zephyr’s. DZ was also on the money re Salo’s return.

It’s still more than some of our fans will give him.

So am I 😉

Thank you. ❤️💙 PS: on the subject of balance, please post more often.

Didn’t know you worked in our FD. Coz you do, right? I mean, why else would you be so sure?

LOL. They rate Melksy more than our fans do. Not LOL

This convo gets sadder and sadder as it goes on. 🤣

We hear ya, fellah. Been there, done that. 😭

It’s the postgame thread that I hope they steer clear of. Especially the first page, after a loss. That’s some crazy [censored] right there.

True. But when @Demon Dynasty says “just DL banter & a bit of fun…” he’s right, but it’s certainly not a case of what happens on DL stays on DL. The Club monitors these things, and some may think it silly of me to say this but who knows… quite possibly some DL content may be taken onboard for consideration in decision making.

… because that’s his primary goal, right? Pfft, how little you know. 🙄

It may not affect list management, but don’t believe for a second that it’s not being read by anyone other than us. Coz it is. Just sayin’

That would’ve been the game. You’re right: the fact that we were well in front meant it wasn’t a big deal. It’d be interesting to see this happen in a game won or lost by less than a goal.

Not the same thing, but hair-related: a few weeks ago, I can’t remember who we were playing nor who for us had kicked a goal but a score review was called, the question being if the ball was touched. The goal wasn’t paid because the ball had grazed JvR’s hair, not his head, but his hair before going through for a goal. I thought that was a strange decision, but I guess one’s hair is part of one’s body. 🤷‍♀️

I don’t!!! He looked me in the eye (I was standing on a box) and swore black n blue (and red n blue) that he would NOT shave his damn head! Nek minnit… bald as a badger’s bum. He promised he’d wear a freaking headband. When I next see him his pelvis will be the least of his concerns. 😡

Awesome to have you back, Luci! Hope you enjoyed the break. While @Queanbeyan Demon did a fantastic job with “What They Are Saying At…” it’s always great to have you around. 💖

I actually don’t remember it, not vividly anyways. But there’s always pics and vids being taking in and of the cheer squad and according to those I was momentarily catatonic. What I do remember is waking the next morning covered in bruises. Lots of bruises: mainly on my legs but a worrying number of bruises on my upper arms and rib-cage! Those hard plastic seats at the ‘G are unforgiving when a bunch of ordinarily psychotic people kick it up a notch. I shudder to think of the injuries inflicted should we ever win a premiership in a nail-biter. 😬 But it’d be worth EVERY. SINGLE. BRUISE. I could be six months in hospital in a full body-cast and it’d still be worth it.

Heard of them… don’t like them. Each to their own, right? 😁 Anyways, funniest thing about that match vs Carlton was them chipping the ball around, running the clock down coz for all the world they’d beaten us. 🤣

Killer memory, Layz! Or do I bang on about them too much and too often? 😆

I’m loath to mention that lest I be berated for derailing the thread. But since you asked nicely, an Icelandic band called Sigur Rós. The best band ever there was since the dawning of mankind and even a couple of aeons before that. 😁

Will never forget the final couple of minutes of this match. It’s right up there with Tmac’s winning goal vs WCE 2017 and Maxy’s winner after the siren, Round 23 2021. I had bought concert tickets for this night months before and because of the stupid floating fixture didn’t realise there was a clash. I agonised over what to attend: my beloved Dees live at the ‘G in front of a big crowd or my all-time fave band (whom I’ve seen live several times but this tour was after a 13-year break). I was still undecided 24 hours beforehand. I finally decided to go to the match. With a minute and 40 to go, with us needing two goals to win, my DA BFF leaned in and said, “do you regret blowing off the concert?” I was already crying but told her that no, I’m not regretting it. Truth is, it was shaping up to be the biggest regret in my entire life, (dramatic much?). We all know what happened next. ❤️💙

Just sayin’

Maybe stop drinking and cooking at the same time.

Paddy’s last concussion was in Round 4 (who can forget that disturbing footage of him being helped to the bench) and seven weeks later he’s still showing symptoms of that concussion. For that reason alone, if he was my son he’d never set foot on a field again. Yes, he’s a grown man, but one never stops being a mother. And you know how the saying goes… “mother knows best.” 😉
