Calling wannabe bards! When Goody to Gawny deferred, Dogga made his rep in the third, he went missing next season, She said "home" is the reason, So now I just think he's a 💩.

Personally I take solace in the knowledge that no other team wants to play us in the finals ... until they are forced to in the 2022 GF.

Our slow entries into F50 are just so predictable (bombing) that the opposition congestion makes it near on impossible for small fwds to break free. It seemed in the first qtr (vs Cwood) that we were delivering the ball flatter to our fwds, or at least trying, but after half time, reverted back to lobbing it in again. I admit I know nought about tactics and strategy, but if the fwdline is congested I'd like to see more set shots from near the 50 arc, as we do have some capable long kicks in the team. Also, if we are expecting 5 or 6 goal run-ons every match in the 3rd or 4th qtr, we will remain disappointed. While I'm giving my tuppence worth, I'm not a great fan of multiple player in's either (unless essential), especially if they are dropped back to the two's the following week becoz they didn't gel as well as expected. Goody would have been "dropped" time and time again prior to 2021 if it applied to coaches.

Ohhhh, so this is what losing feels like! I'd forgotten!

Well attendance might be down as trains (main way of getting there) have been cancelled to optus and other destinations due to an "incident" (usually a suicide). Diabolical Weagle fans will do anything!

I'm waiting for the AFL directive to broadcasters not to replay contentious free kicks.

To my mind it would make much more sense to fine an individual (say $1k) for dissent rather than impose a 'team' penalty of 50m. Its not as if a player who touches an umpire is penalised by giving the opposing team a free kick. The player/s should be made aware of the fine during play but be permitted to contest the decision like any other penalty after the game. It might potentially lead to a lot of adjudication but I suspect a lot of players would just cop the fine and move on.

Tassie Plovers? They are mean buggers, almost vicious when nesting and their favourite sites are ovals. Carn' Thylacines!! just doesn't ring true and locals would revert to Tigers anyway.

Didn't see your prediction at first DZ but must acknowledge it 😉 For a replay of the GF the attendance should be 61,118. I don't mind the different location, afterall, I got to see the original 😁and how beautiful it was!

Just a suggestion to your naming convention MD … Can you please add 2021 to these amazing vids at some stage? I wouldn’t want to be confused when you add future GF highlights … 2022, 2023, etc! But then, you could be planning a combined GF package for each player I suppose. My brain is 🥴 just thinking about that! Kudos for your work. Super envious!

FYI ... Just received my Mark Knight t-shirt and hoodie. One was made in Nicaragua, the other in Dominican Republic.

My inexplicable grudging acceptance that the one or two thousand Demon supporters that make it to our one H & A game at Optus each year in the past will be no more. Its going to be VERY interesting to see how the premiership has influenced our supporter base here in the west.

Do you mean a letdown as in a GF drought breaking tilt in 2022 at the G? 🙂

I am looking forward to the chant of Gaaawny, Gaaawny starting at the first bounce tomorrow. It would be ridiculous! As a supporter since the early 60’s and in Perth for the last 35 years, I’m expecting tears to be flowing before and after the game. My one voice will be added to the multitude, and for everyone of you elsewhere in this country… CARN THE DEES!! I am so proud of this mob!
