Except as mentioned before: when the Dees have met Collingwood since his departure, Dunn isn't a 0 with the senior players. Some strange bad blood going on there.

Genuine question WJ ?

Kicked the most goals last season - from a gazillion i50s - and probably have the weakest pack of ten goals of any team in the comp when it comes to sheer individual brilliance. This is exactly what Simon wants. Not in the highlights: the high number of exceptional running team goals last year and moments of line-breaking brilliance in delivery which led to regulation goals. Go Dees.

Your metadata is probably being analysed as we speak.

Sorry BBO. I get a bit mixed up sometimes.

Neville Jetta will probably go down as my all-time favourite player.

And even then I still hadn't heard of them. For some reason I thought we were sponsored by the electronics brand LG.

Pre-season training not much to go by but it's helped to dampen my own initial mild confusion as to Preuss's motivations. Seems keen as mustard to push himself to be part of a successful mix and is being treated as an genuine element of such.

Love that Lever was on his case about coming to the club. I suspect the same would have gone on with Max and Preuss. Says a lot to me that these guys want solid teammates around them and are welcoming challengers into the fold.

To paraphrase just enough: There’s a backline that features Jake Lever, Mitchell (er, Michael) Hibberd and Neville Jetta, as well as former Gold Coast co-captain Steven May (plus Christian Salem). The engine room is led by the game’s premier ruckman in Max Gawn, who consistently dishes out hits to advantage to the likes of Clayton Oliver, Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney (and James Harmes and Christian Petracca). That'll do me: I'm the envy of every other past Demons' supporting incarnation of myself.

I'm so much more excited holding out unfounded hope for Braydon than I have been for that Dyson bloke the past couple years.

Who the hell is Jake Lloyd?

100 divided by 18 is 5.55555555556 We're well ahead of the game.

Loving the intensity of these November training threads. Every DL session is a step-up on the last. Long live Jeff.

So Dr. D's assessment was accurate? Only three sessions in and Bradkte is already going backwards.

What's Jake Neade's status? Career over?

Before Ben made an absolute [censored] of himself on live national TV in attempting to confirm his rockstar prowess.

A little runt I believe it was.

Nat was set to play Juliet in Baz Luhrmann's adaption of Shakespeare before Claire Danes took on the role. Claire Danes then dated that Ben Lee [censored]. That should give hope to anyone.

I predict that @ding will pretend he doesn't care all that much but will put in a PhD-worthy mountain of pre-season research to claim back his former precious - the one ball that rules them all. 640 × 360

A BA in psychology from Harvard. Arrived at our training approximately five years too late.

Oddly, I think this kid may be a distant relative of mine.

I was. As mentioned there were a number of exciting potential picks around our mark. And there were more obvious opportunities in our starting team. Maybe it's that 20-30 feels like a dead-zone - not the upper echelon and not the speculative outsiders. It's not common that I get called out for pessimism on here - I think it's probably the opposite and just want to get on with business. Perhaps just leave me to my musings. A lack of enthusiasm / boredom is a difficult mind-state to qualify.

I should have made what I meant clearer. It's not that I won't be unexcited by our eventual draftees (even though I think they're less likely to get a look in over the coming year, which tempers interest somewhat) - I'm just not feeling it with the pre-draft speculation this year and suggested players in our pick range.
