Chook

Happy New Year (didn't time it quite right but I'll live!)

I just had a thought that might put what we're all feeling into a different kind of perspective. How many pages would a regular season game have if it were 1 v 2, we win by 74 points, and there's 3 months till the next game? Maybe 25?

The first was for the goal itself. The next three were for the context of the goal. "Clayton Oliver goes bang, and the demons have gone bang bang bang." That makes sense, even though there's only 3 goals.

Like a few others I have received my goodies finally as well. I'm a happy boy, and can't wait to wear that premiers tee!

I'd just like to personally congratulate this thread on achieving Full HD of pages (that's 1080p to you plebs). This is truly an inane thread but as an AV connoisseur I feel I must jump on and point it out. See you in another 1080-odd pages. I'm sure you'll all still be here talking about bananas or whatever.

The premiership cup looks adorable!

Just got the Blu-Ray, and wow. Let me just paint you a picture: PETRACCA: "I've just won us all a flag. Say, who is that bloke?" THAT BLOKE: "omg he's just won us a flag I hope I don't cry and become Demons folklore…"

My first dose (non-dominant shoulder) left me with a sore arm for over a week - no other side-effects. My second dose (dominant shoulder) was fine after about 3-4 days. No other sie-effects. Wouldn't have wanted to play a football game a week after the first one, 5 days after the 2nd I'd have been fine.

Our entire midfield (including Oliver) went missing for large chunks of that game.

Got it for an early xmas pressie from my mum. It's a great read!

Very surprised at the lack of love from the coaches for Brayshaw. I thought he was critical this year…player number 11 each week? EDIT: Whispering Jack beat me to the screenshot. All yours Jack.

Who had "Mark Neeld" on their Max Gawn speech namedrop bingo card?

Rounds 9-15…McDonald polling very well

The Votes After Rounds 1-8

Hope she just made a slip of the tongue and it's not a 202-ew as she initially said.

Sparrow ain't going anywhere. He'll be a top-shelf (goal-kicking) mid in no time.

Very good point. As much as Treloar kicked 3 goals and was their 2nd best on ground. He (and Bont) were one of the 4 in the middle who lost it for them in the length of time it takes to take a whizz.

It seems Clayton Oliver and Christian Salem have had a baby (don't ask how, but clearly the product is worth whatever it took to make it happen).

Maybe it was Selwyn not Burgess that got the Dees fit and firing:

Just bought the DVD set so I'm not stopping any time soon. I'll never fully stop celebrating, but the rambunctious air will subside into quiet satisfaction after Melbourne's first loss of the year I think. As a supporter, I don't need to focus on next year like the players do. So I won't. To me, every day is 10pm on Saturday 25th September 2021.

Gawn and the Premiership Cup (and Andy), the best of friends!!!

At least we're in the top 8. I hate being out of contention for the finals of…checks notes…games played and years of existence on planet earth.

As one with relatives in SA who I love dearly but who don't exactly all share the same tastes as me, this post hit closer to home than you would imagine. I bet you're glad to be back!

Ew gross…

All I see is a premiership player and four of his biggest fans. It'll work.
