    CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport

    How come Casey get only 2 players in the VFL team of the year, one of whom (Mitch White) is on the bench? No Chandler or JVR? Moniz-Wakefield?

    My thoughts exactly. When a team is the minor premier and have only lost one game all season, while it’s not a given, it’s usually the case that they’d have more than just two players in the team of the year. 🤔

    Good Year

    Why is it that when a positive thread is created it’s not long before it’s hijacked by the perennial gripers???

    Anyways, this WAS a good year in terms of being able to attend matches. After experiencing 2020 and 2021 it was a joy to not have to watch games from our lounge rooms during lockdown. No crowd limits. No mandatory mask wearing. And the QR thing and the vax certificate stipulation were jettisoned fairly early in the season.

    See, it’s not so hard to see the positives. ☀️

    a couple days on and I’m now feeling grateful that our footy team won the first ten games of the year, finished second on the ladder when the other grand finalist from last year limped into the top 8 and one of the other preliminary finalists from last year didn’t even make the finals! And I was at the Gabba a few weeks ago to see an incredible show put on by the boys.

    Now thinking of next year….we still have the list to beat anyone. So the outlook is really positive for me.

     

    What Nicko said. ⬆️ 

    I can’t believe I made it through all six pages without wanting to get a contract put on someone’s head. 😁

    Moved forward just in case things might go over and we miss 5 minutes of , WAGs on a rotisserie at the Brownlow . 

    God forbid we don’t see every single plunging neckline. 

    The starting time change still doesn’t help for those who’d like to attend both this final as well as the our AFLW round 4 match which is scheduled for 4:10pm at Casey Fields. ☹️ Our cheer squad has to split into two which is a shame.

    Bet Trac liked it, had him the same height as some of the big boys. 

     

    Aesthetics, Roy. Aesthetics. 😁

    Our esteemed leader Ryan designed Friday night’s banner. I love the cityscape backdrop and the overall sombre tone.

    I'm not going to begrudge the Irish from hating the English monarch.

    Oh, nor am I! Like I said, when you’re the product of two extremely devout Catholics and you were born in Dublin, you have zero choice in terms of loathing the Royals. It’s just the words some people use. And while my parents fully brainwashed me and my many siblings (Irish/Catholic, so yeah many siblings 😁) to their credit they never uttered a vile word about the Royals. It can and should be expressed without the disgusting element.

    Demonland is like any other community WCW. We come together because we are all Demons, but there are many different experiences within the Demonland community. And most people's knowledge, including QD's, is at best, partial and incomplete. Our respective horizons may be opposed dialectically. What in one is found intelligible, in another is unintelligible. What for one is true, for another is false. What for one is good, for another is evil. Each 'Lander may have some awareness of the other's viewpoint and so each in a manner may include the other. That's what we do. But we are human and all of us, at least in part, are seduced by wishful thinking, to an acceptance of myth, to ignorance or fallacy, to blindness or illusion, to backwardness or immaturity, to bad will and to a refusal of truth. Humanity is in this boat together and it's virtually inescapable. 

    (With thanks to BL.)

    Very philosophical and very thought provoking. But who on earth is BL???

    Yeah so thats the coaches job to that, not Kate's. Players are in capable hands under some very good. coaches there.

    I'm just asking for an update considering both Kate and Gary Pert said there would be an official announcement end of last year/start of this year.

    We've been waiting since.

    I realise that. But she’s heavily invested in all MFC teams. Why should she be expected to address this issue when the firsts are no longer alive, but the seconds and the girls still are?

    I have confidence in Goody and the Club. After the horror of 2019, a significant number of hard decisions regarding the list were made. The side that won in 2021 was quite different to the ones we took into the final rounds of 2019. The Club turned it around then - I see no reason why Goody won't make hard decisions over the next couple of months and we reset for another run at it in 2023.  

    If only more people on here could see it this way.  🙏

    No, not at all WCW. That's what I meant when I said "that would be okay". Anyone else - not okay. And yes, we are total besties. 

    Actually, in the Positives from 2022 thread, I was going to mention that a positive for me was getting to know a couple of 'Landers somewhat better. You're definitely one of them.

    Awww, ditto QD. 😘
    Now that’s one broken heart mended. 
    Can you do anything about the other?

    On some occasions such as the Fed Square pre-QB match celebration and the open training at Gosch’s before our QF, Zurich were handing out flags and mini-figure key rings and plastic beakers.
    My guess is that it’s not done at the ground anymore because much of this free stuff is left after the match and ends up as rubbish.

    PODCAST: SF vs Brisbane

    I’m gonna tune in tomorrow night as I do every week but not sure I’ll make it to the end. It’s still too raw. I’ll take the advice I’ve been given so many times on DL and just leave (the podcast, not DL. Wouldn’t wanna give the haters the pleasure 😉).

    PS: Even a coroner lets a body grow cold before beginning a post-mortem.
