Had a chat with a Dons friend on Friday. Concluded that they're taxiing on the runway and maybe in 2024 they can take-off to land in the 8.

I don't know much about player contracts but I do know a bit about sponsorship contracts for clubs and the league in general. It often all comes down to the notifiable conduct clause, which used to be more focused on players but these days there is an increasing shift to include behaviour of the club or the league (eg corruption or persistent obliviousness to vilification and the like). It all comes down to the bargaining power of the party doing the sponsoring... so if you're big like Telstra you can stitch something up but otherwise the AFL has more sway. For players themselves the definition of notifiable conduct can be quite broad beyond AFL general code infringements and lawfulness to harm of reputation.

Love your work, Layzie!

We're ready for this. We can back the boys even with our outs. Let's hope for a great confidence win for our season!!

Can't believe I never thought to search for a NSW based Dees fan group! 😱 Thanks for this, WWSW! Now looking into joining

Wow that Hobart one is near perfect!!

I'd like to think we're respectful supporters to others in person, since we let all the bat-sh!ttery out on Demonland 🤣

That's rough, WCW 😔 Hope to see you with the Cheer Squad at the Gabba next week!!

Completely, not helped by the fact there seems to be some quality loss from the compression process (or just Instagram in general lol)

I do enjoy that the Club updated the website but couldn't check their calendar haha

New season plot point... true crime podcast 😂 maybe Chin can give us the scoop

Yeah it is a good little bit of interaction to chat with an extra player. Although I hope it doesn't eat into interviewing a player (eg Lachie this time) too much, because the interaction between all three was always fun and a bit eye opening. I hear they've got a more professional rig this time as opposed to just jury rigging it as well... should be an interesting season! Lol

Love the podcast but found it a little stilted this time. Might just need to get used to the new format!

Same, I got totally invested after reading Duffy's life story!

Yes, that's very true. Ian Roberts from NRL has also talked about it, I think there was a 'You Can't Ask That' episode (on ABC) where he did so

Tipped Weagles over North, in honour of my friend who just moved to Perth and matched with one of the players on a dating app lol

That's how Max would write about it in the sequel to his Captain's Diary, for sure!

I prefer the commentary from our resident Valkyrie regarding the Manor's booze stocks 😁

Amazing how quiet this thread gets when preseason footy games started haha

You and me both! I shouldn't have changed my mind and arranged to visit Melb for Round 1!

Good God, did somebody kick a leprechaun in the past few days? Not Maysie!!!

I'm currently trying to sell my family on a little weekend holiday to watch the North game. Keep on reminding them of all the good food and Mona!

The Mobile Manor! Very impressive... or slightly intimidating maybe Based on the Dee Army website, I suspect we have to purchase general admission but other than that there are no seats unless prearranged with the venue / brought of your own volition

Please, we don't need that sort of language on Demonland 😋

Yes, definitely what I'm hoping for! And what I'm booking based on. Feels a bit safer to do so knowing we're against the Giants. P.S. really like the fancy new double quote feature, nice update!
