Thanks for providing that perspective DJ. Being an old fart who lives interstate, it is indeed useful!

Suddenly our depth looks a wee bit better.

and I'd love it if you would keep an eye on young Chandler as well please dl4e. One of our better players in a poor team effort last week. Thanks!

Best game I've seen all year. One small step!

Most of your contributions add great value to this forum Wiseblood, but not this one.

Sadly, the only thing on the 'G' tonight worse than the umpires, was the Melbourne collective. Total despair from me.

Well I'll be buggered ......... a H&A fixture on Friday night. How novel is that? Let's make it a memorable one Dees. Start our season rolling, and mount an undeniable case with the AFL for six Friday nighters in 2020.

Thanks once again guys! Now we need a long winning streak to make things easier for you.

Very, very disappointing but not wrist slashing time. Despite the margin, there were improvements tonight over what we saw in Round 1. Some tweaking of the game plan, a couple of wins and the boost in confidence that they will bring ........ I still hold out hope!

Agree, especially when coupled with @WERRIDEE's well known 'love' for OMac and Frost.

We can take it right up to them, even on their own dung heap and in dirty weather, but a return to our 2018 style of hard contested footy, and playing for eachother, is a prerequisite! Just do it Dees!

A very disappointing effort by the clearly'underdone' Demons, but I reckon my top two are entitled to sleep well tonight: 6. Salem 5. Melksham 4. Fritsch 3. Harmes 2. Hunt 1. Oliver

We raised the bar, and it's now time to meet the lofty standards we set for ourselves. It starts today! Kill 'em Demons!

gwdees is solid.

Well I don't know how to spell what I want to say about that idea. Bwuuukh?

On a more positive note, KK expected to play VFL this week. Very happy with that one, at least.

Genuine joy (love) from the playing group. You can't fabricate that! Great work Dees.

RIP Ian. Re-joining some great team-mates from our golden era.

A dampener on what has been a largely positive thread , but I've been thinking of Max in the context of yesterday's sickening events in Christchurch. Much too hard to put to the back of ones mind.

Just sickening chook. Coincidentally, on the day that our Club announced that it is partnering with the Victorian Department of Education and Training and the Victorian Aboriginal Education Association to take a stand against racist bullying.

A humble bloke who gave his absolute all for our Club. It would be totally unreasonable for any of us to expect more than that. Well done Cam!

And it's Lever's second ACL on the same knee.
