Temporarily Hopeful Demon

Stoked for both of them. I'm particularly happy for Tmac though. He played through the absolute worst of our dark era but he just kept at it. He's also been a highly adaptable player too. There have been multiple phases of his career he looked almost done yet he managed to reinvent himself. I'd say he's been our most reliable defender over the past two years. And Gawn is Gawn. For me he's the greatest ruckman of all time and our best player over the past 40 years. I still think people take him for granted sometimes. He's a real once in a lifetime sort of player.

And he was a huge part of the 'cultural and peripheral issues' that you mention. Do you not see the irony in what you just said?

Wouldn't it be beautiful if we hammer Essendon like this in a few weeks

Gawn once again reaffirmed himself as the absolute champion he is. I won't say much else about that game.

Good on him for finding his role but we're kidding ourselves if we think that he was the answer to our problems. This site has a tendency to grossly overrate players once they leave our club.

Our best player since Flower by a clear margin

Bluey can't get over the fact that he's taken over his golden boy Sam Weideman

Well done dees! I haven't felt this pumped about a win in a very long time. We played such a fast, attacking and daring style of footy and I'm so glad it paid off in the end. It's been ages since we've looked so dangerous when getting the ball into our forwardline. Our defence was leaky but I thought it lifted big time in the last quarter. JVR can take a bow. He looked a completely different player today. Gawn's last quarter was so inspirational. He taught De Koning a massive lesson. I'm already highly impressed by Jiath, Steele and Miocheck as our new recruits. They all played their roles very well. I think we're in for a really exciting ride this season regardless of where we finish.

JVR has won me over in this half alone. He looks scary good.

Who?

I think we're missing ANB much more than Oliver tbh

People actually thought Oliver would win the brownlow this year 😅😅😅

Yep compare Oliver's game last Saturday to what he served up in our 1 point loss against Adelaide back in 2021. Not in the same [censored] ballpark.

Brownlows for me are one of the worst ways of determining that one player is better than another. Might as well say that Priddis is better than Bont if you want to use that logic lol.
