Go Ds

Calm down; tomorrow's leg day.

Oh, wow! In the last 24 hours on Demonland I've learnt about the s*xual stamina of men across their lifetime and about pigs and liquorice! But should I grow a beard? Don't we have one of Maxy's sponsors on here? Maybe they can get him to answer me. 😁

Ghosty, What are you confessing about your sex life?! 😛🤣🤣🤣

Why is Miss Piggy wrecking liquorice sticks? 😂

So it looks like an ..... unmentionable? And are you or are you not 'cousinable'? Anyway I have no idea of the right answer. I reckon nearly any list of 23 or 4 items , whether foods, chemical elements, musicals or anything else would stump nearly everyone nearly every time.

I don't want to go over old ground here. But I was never upset that Nibbler and Luke Jackson left. Plenty of times players left for good reasons. Even then I can understand players at times getting better salaries elsewhere. I mean this is their time to make good money - they're probably not going to make it later on in life

And he was so connected to his homeland he couldn't bring himself to come back to Melbourne FC?

But my cousin, Marylouise is gorgeous! We tried to be abstemious but now we have a little boy, Aurelio, and girl, Sequoia. (And I'm not being facetious.) 🤣🤣🤣

What happened to Austin? Flash retired (i assume after a few years where injuries robbed him of his pace). Jurrah had horrible troubles back home. But why did Austin leave prematurely?

Got it! They've all got an A or E in their name! Can you make my prize out in cash?

It could be fantastic . How often has a team had 3 or more Aboriginals in the forward line?

Hmm, trackwatchers, is that apparent the vibe between players have improved? (I wouldn't know if Spalding's wrong. But it'd be interesting if others independently have picked up on the vibe.)

I can't show my intimate tattoo on my ahem MFC 'member' here. I wanted the name of every Melbourne player and coach from 21 inked there. Alas I had to leave out the coaches. 😆

She's not speaking just yet; she's got a frog in her throat

Are you Ghosty the Cameraman? Also 🥳 LUKER [censored] KENTBAT 🥳& 🥳 LUKER [censored] KENTBOWL🥳 😛😛😛

@Rodney (Balls) Grinter @DeeZone it's only a feeling - and it's all filtered through media reports as well as comments on here - so it's more "glass half full" than bet half your life savings we make finals. I doubt 11 extra goals a game is likely. If you have a pebble in your shoe it turns out it was a lot smaller than you realised. I think in sport it can be the reverse. A slightly better kicking technique might mean once in each game a behind now is a goal or a player reads the ball slightly better or takes an extra mark in defence and these tiny improvements - wether in defence or attack - help decrease losing margins and / or increase winning ones. Three or four teams almost yearly return to the finals ( replacing mainly disappointing ones). There can be big surprises. Hopefully Melbourne are one next year ( or even better 2027-30 something we're full-on contenders surprising many.)

True @Fanatique Demon But obviously not every side or player improves each year - compromised preseasons, injuries, lowered club morale can all occur - and of course the level of improvement for each individual will vary. IMHO if someone knew almost everything re every team's preseasons the rise and falls on the ladder would rarely surprise.

Such minor improvements across the board i reckon would snowball and make most teams unrecognisable - and turn most into real flag contenders. BTW I'm not predicting it but think about this..... if a team's best 22 or so that makes the field each week have all improved such that they're worth an extra half a goal each that's 11 goals improvement - despite not one single player improving much.

Ooooh! Looks like I'll hafta get an invite to Yvonne and Jeff's for your 60th!

Do you actually know what was in that conversation? I dont. I thought he was told that he'd probably be playing a new position. I hope King didn't go out of his way to raise the possibility of Casey games. But in all honestly ANY player should know theyre not guaranteed senior games and I doubt King was guaranteeing Oliver that he'd get no senior games.

You mean EX-magnet. If he kept playing same as in recent years he weakens a midfield.

Huh? Great teams have players that give their all - training hard, following tactics, playing in positions that suit the team - because it's a team game and team success is the ultimate goal. Sure, if someone's the 26th best player in a brilliant club i can understand them going to another club. But why would someone like Oliver partially put in the hard yards but then lose it over a position change?! Unless he didn't believe in his own ability why wouldn't he just get on with it in a position change, like many others have done, happy to know it'll probably lead to team success (that thing we haven't had in two years). What gives??

Surely it's not just tradition. Wouldn't some club some time experimented with a shorter AFL preseason and learnt the hard way those extra weeks weren't just tradition.
