Ever heard of "sarcasm"?

...that's according to Nathan Jones on Twitter a few minutes ago. Sure hope he's right! Would be great to see Wona strutting his stuff again on the big stage! Go Dees!

Cheap shot on a guy who has worked against the odds to get a run! He has my admiration just through his shear guts and determination to hang in there and not throw the towel in when, no doubt, the temptation must have been there many times over the journey. And I, for one, would be thrilled if he ends up half as good as that other "spud" ("spud" Frawley -- or his nephew, "chip", for that matter)! Hold your head up high, Danny, and continue to improve! Some of us are right behind you...

Not sure to what extreme some guys take this waxing nonsense to. But, surely there'd still be some hair at least 3cm long on SOME part of the body that a determined examiner could find...? If so, and the person was subsequently found through that hair test to be a drug user, could it rightly be said they had him by the short & curlies...?? (Yep, another slow & dull day at the office! LOL)

Guess dem dumb coaches are not as smart as the brilliant supporters on this forum. Time to switch roles...? (LOL)

We all know Miller's kicking for goal is a little erratic. However, a few weeks back (yes, for Casey) at Southport I witnessed him slot two rippers. Both set shots from near the boundary, around 50 metres out. Was great to see, and certainly something I'd love to see him replicate tomorrow night in Darwin.

Great to see Wona & Morton in for their first games this year. I know some reckon Wona is very lucky. But, he has had runs the past four weeks, so surely he should be back to some sort of fitness. And, it is rather nice he gets to strut his stuff up in Darwin on indigenous round. Just hope he is able to give a reasonable showing, and repay the faith the match committee is showing in him. Think Hughes is a bit stiff. Would have liked to see him get another week or two. Think Warnock is a good move. Not required this week, so give him a rest before the coming, big games. Go Dees!

Yep. Ticks most of the boxes for me. Horses for courses. And this "horse" is from a "course" not too far removed from the heat and humidity of Darwin.

No need to apologise. Your comments have been appreciated by several of us already. Keep up the positive posts. Poor blighters like me, stuck thousands of km from the action, drink up all the inside goss we can get. Well done.

Maybe not new. But I, for one, never tire of hearing good news, especially when it relates to the MFC...

If true, excellent news! What we've all been hoping for! (Only time I wanna see young Ricky running around up here on local turf is when the Mighty Dees venture up here to take on the new team!) Go Dees!

Well done, guys! Why turn on the TV to watch a Soap Opera, when you can get it all, right here, on good ole Demonland! This thread has had it all. It started out as a legitimate rant against Essendon & the AFL for the joke of a clash jumper that Essendon has gotten away with. It has since done the rounds with lots of talk about our own clash jumper. It also degenerated into a brawl between some of our resident markeing "experts". Now, it even has some mid-thread changes of identity! Love it! Sure added a bit of spice to an otherwise slow Thursday arvo in my office! Oh. And by the way. GO DEES!!

Dat member, or dis-member?, that is the question...LOL

I agree with your INS (all 6 of them!) But, not so sure about the OUTS. Bate & Bruce if they are injured, and possibly Sylvia if he is injured or in a form slump. But the other three to make way? Hmm...! Can we have 6 INS, and only 3 OUTS??? (LOL) Guess that's what the Selectors are paid the big bucks for...

Mr Reims, you obviously put a lot of thought and work into that. I, personally, can't find too much in it to argue about. Well done! And, Go Dees...!!

Let's not forget he's what we got in exchange for McLean. Here's hoping in a year or so we'll be just as happy with this deal as we are with the Johnstone/Grimes deal...! Looking forward to seeing the kid on the big stage!

Agreed, Balls! Time to draw a line in the sand...!

I'm personally not over fussed with this one. Think I prefer what we've currently got, or your earlier one, above.

Agreed!

Yeah, not bad, Balls. I'd be happy with that. (I'm also not unhappy with our current two clash jumpers.) Cheers!

Agreed!

And, the point is, the AFL should never have approved that joke of an "away jumper". It does not solve the clash problem that away jumpers are supposed to solve! It makes a complete mockery of the AFL and the rules it supposedly requires all teams to follow. Whoever approved that jumper needs a good kick up the rear! And, Balls is right re Collingwood. Collingwood DOES have a clash jumper. It's all white on the majority of the back, instead of the black on the home jumper. It therefore does not clash with anyone except possibly Nth Melb. It's certainly WAY ahead of the Essendon joke. The fault with this fiasco lies equally with BOTH Essendon AND the AFL. With Essendon, because their joke of a clash jumper clearly does not comply with the requirement of avoiding a clash, and is a cynical response at best. With the AFL, because they have been too weak to stand up to Essendon and read the riot act to them.

Absolutely!!

Exceptionally well put! I agree with everything you've written. It's kinda like Travis Johnstone revisited. In both cases, they have teased us with their potential to the point of extreme torture. Colin gave us hints last year, and I think we all salivated at the prospect of him dominating this season. Alas, to this point, we have again been left shaking our heads and lamenting unfulfilled dreams. Ah! The lot of a Melbourne supporter...!!

Agree completely, guys! MFC needs to serve notice on the AFL. Give Essendon 7 weeks to get their act together and to fall in line with the rest of the competition. On July 11 Melb will be wearing their traditional strip, and Essendon MUST present on that day in a predominantly WHITE strip. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSES ACCEPTED!!!!!!! If the other teams can do it, so can they! (Even Collingwood have at least made an effort, by changing the predominantly black backs of their home jumpers to predominantly white backs for their clash jumper. So have St Kilda. IT'S TIME!
