You and me both, Neil! 😂

Amazing how MFC is responsible for Richmond's issues 🤨

The two Christians have patent leather shoes on. Even with a polishing Clarry's shoes would not show up like that... he just needs some fashion advice!

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
DeelightfulPlay replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
So from that ABC kicking article in 2023 (note it was drawing on the last three seasons, not 2024), our kicking efficiency was roughly the same as the Swans but the key difference was the Swans retention per kick was quite high (and we did not generally retain the ball...). Interesting! We can only improve upwards, at least! That being said, retention is not the be all and end all, when you look at some of the high retention teams eg Essendon. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-01/afl-what-makes-a-good-kick-in-2023/102420562 -
By law we'd have a right of access by easement across others' land... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easement

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 9th December 2024
DeelightfulPlay replied to waynewussell's topic in Melbourne Demons
Thanks to all the track watchers for their reports today and earlier this preseason! From far off Sydney, you've all had me singing in anticipation (much to my coworkers' distress). A taster of said singing (with apologies to Andy Williams...) 🎶🎵🏉🎄🏉🎵🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year With the draft kids a tackling And everyone telling you "Clarry and Trac are now here" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest pre-season of all With those houses trained down And happy meetings where players hunt for the ball It's the hap-happiest pre-season of all 🎶🎵🏉🎄🏉🎵🎶- 89 replies

Nah guys, Daisy is the only woman to play AFL for the Dee's right? 😅

My guess is Flagstaff - Melb Central, given they're two blocks away in the city but also keen to hear the answer!

Ooo good point, thanks Mickey! Fingers crossed we're successful in that regard -
Angus Brayshaw Forced into Retirement
DeelightfulPlay replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Hmmm $3 million and we're fighting to minimise the pay out? I wonder what Gus would potentially receive in a successful court case for impact on lifetime earning capacity against the AFL... -
Calling for Jefferson... #picketfenceconfirmed?!

I think it's been gone for a week or so! At least I noticed it the other week but just thought it was a glitch

Demonstone's Frankly Frustrating Frivolous Frippery
DeelightfulPlay replied to Demonstone's topic in Melbourne Demons
I always read these threads but confess to not being a puzzler. Don't be disheartened, Demonstone! -
@No. 31 is often a sensible and interesting poster, and more emotionally balanced than some supporters!

Medication itself is not a silver bullet. Structure, exercise, figuring out works best for themselves any day of the week, support network (both formal and informal)... There are over 200 genetic markers for ADHD and each person has a different mixture, nevermind the environmental factors, the experience of societal stigma, and how symptoms can change across a person's lifetime (and also affected by lack of sleep, hydration, diet, stress etc). What works one day, one month, one year may not work the next. It's not to say that a person with ADHD does not have personal responsibility and accountability, just that even in good scenarios it can be a handful. It's no surprise that a lot of the issues about and surrounding Clarry correspond to the time he gets his first significant injury (and the loss of structure and routine that comes from that). (Using your post to further the convo Bing181. Thanks for posting on this topic!)

No, isn't it Jefferson?! 😂

Well I've seen a few wearing the red and white today in Sydney. Also someone with a Swans scarf and a Lions guernsey! Lots of pubs in my area advertising specials for the GF, so it'll likely be quite rowdy this afternoon.

Go Sesto! I'm sure he'll do us proud!

Solly Lew or one of his kids are Dee's fans. They blew a similarly glorious photo of the premiership team up to life size and had it on their fence after we won. I made a pilgrimage and took a photo standing next to Fritter, Hibbo and Viney - some real life photoshop magic 😁

How the Swans and Lions built their 2024 GF Lists
DeelightfulPlay replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
*provided you're allowed to benefit from such systems by the AFL rules -
Or fermenting, like any good wine? 😋

A lot of people say WCW is too positive, and say that she should recognise *insert whatever issue with the club and/or player here*. The one time WCW expresses her opinion about a player and it is negative... you all see it as a licence to dig the boots in? Regardless of one's opinion of Trac - if you're a poster who is often expressing criticism (whether rightly or not) about the club and players, and demanding that your opinion is respected... how about recognising WCW's right to an opinion?!
