 I just know that ima be getting texts from jealous non-Dees friends about this and I wanna know what to say. 

it’s from today’s HS.

Clearly we need to ensure no Sydney based fans attend the game

Or no Sydney fans, period. ?

WCW

And I thought my sister was bad with FOUR different recycling/waste Bins.

I shall not judge her so harshly.

What is your son saving the planet for ? Not his children or  your grandchildren I don't think ! 

I’d ask him but I wouldn’t want to put him into the embarrassing situation of not having an answer. ?

Well  if I wasn’t already excited, I certainly am now!!!

 I wasn’t expecting to go to this week’s game, but to my sheer Dee-light I am!

Just gonna share...

I have a husband and three sons, not one of whom is even remotely Interested in footy, nor sport in general. (I must’ve done something terrible in a previous life.) In particular, my 25yo son, a green tea-sipping, vegan, climate-change-active, tree-hugging, incense-burning, totes left-leaning, full-time uni. student who lives in a share house in Footscray that has no less than eight different recycling bins. He takes me to a handful of games each season but that’s usually after I wage a war of attrition, which I always eventually win. Incidentally, I find the most effective ammo in my arsenal is a protracted campaign of “can you take us to Mt. Splashmore?” type nagging. But...

He just called to tell me he’s bought us tickets to Saturday’s game! I didn’t even have to ask!

I am SO not gonna put him up for adoption, now. ?

And on top of all that...

He’s got that killer smile.

Round 13 it returns with a vfl match on kayo/fox footy until then 

As I’m sure all AFL fans would attest, there’s nothing quite like watching your team win on a Thursday night (in this case, the mighty Deeeeez) then sitting back and watching the rabble battle it out for the remainder of the weekend. ?

Good.

Mother of god, now I’m seeing this post in other threads, too. I’m so curious. Why “Good” for seemingly no reason?

Good.

Are you posting the word “Good” for no apparent reason every 10 or so minutes, or am I just imagining it?

Quite possibly I’m imagining it. Been up since 5:30am. That, coupled with the whole Fritta sitch, and the fact that I’m easily confused, makes a compelling argument for me to go to sleep. 

And now, the best thread title change.

?

Ugh. Just the thought of Christian in a black and white guernsey. ?

My guess, if top of ladder, we are not acting like it is the bottom.

Forgive my seeming thickheadedness but I still don’t get it.

YAYYYYY!!!!!!

Anything that Supermercado writes is worth a read. After his debut book, I’m certain this will make it to the top book sellers list if not a Nobel Prize for Literature. All Demon fans should buy this - you can order your copy here - THE LAST HURRAH

 

By “top book sellers list” you do mean New York Times Bestseller List, right? ?

I just pre-ordered my copy ❤️?

Undefeated and on top of the ladder, but there's very little excitement on demonland.  Have we all been so deeply scarred that we're expecting this bubble to burst in a spectacular way?

It’s not like it hasn’t happened in the past. Most Deez fans (IMO) won’t allow themselves to even think about daring to dream coz that leaves us open to bitter disappointment should the “bubble burst.”

History says that's exactly what we will do though.   We will find out soon if this really is a 'new Melbourne' or much of the same old. 

 Don't hate me people, just keeping things in perspective and I do think we will beat Sydney.

 

Someone has to play devil’s (Demon’s?) advocate.

Federal aholes vs state aholes on those pints I would have thought. As in it’s up to the state government to allow the capacity change for venues and the heartless national government has locked Aussies out. 

True. I guess since this situation is unprecedented the rules are kinda being made up as we go. Trial and error of biblical proportions.

What was scary was the bit before that as he was coming back into the dug out, he obviously still had his boots on, and looked like he skidded on the studs as he was walking on the concrete, almost looked like he was going to do his other knee the way he started to fall!

It would definitely be difficult to do something as simple as just walking when you are literally reeling, which I’m sure was the case.

Any update on when we’ll be at 100% capacity?

I don’t think that will happen anytime soon. The reason being the powers that be can’t, on the one hand, threaten five years prison for any Australian who attempts to return home from India, and at the same time allow 100% capacity on crowds at the footy. That is unless they were seen to be offering a trade-off, eg, mandatory mask wearing at the ground. I would happily wear a mask. Hells, I’d wear full PPE. But then my standards aren’t high since (as a result of circumstances beyond my control) I don't get to attend as many matches as I’d like.  

Saddest thread title change ever.

Did you see where Jones was slapping him on the knee? I though what the hell??

Yeah, that was a little strange. I think Jones was quite overcome with pity for him and that’s how it was expressed.
