Great! Team! Effort! Three stand alone words, but combining them into a sentence sums up tonight's performance. Keep it up Dees!

Tight lines mate!

Hopefully for all of us we won't have to put up with this rubbish in 2021.

Cheers McQueen!

Broken heartless melody.

Listless performance, and you could tell we were 'off' from the very first bounce. Empty / hollow feeling right now! Expressing my real feelings would earn me a Demonland holiday!

We are playing an injury depleted Sydney outfit. The only way we won't be ahead at the final siren, is if we are already ahead of ourselves.

Beat me to it Ham. Great opportunity for Rivers to earn a top- line scalp.

In my 'glass half full' way, I'm clinging to the hope that our relatively good history at Traeger Park will get us over the line. The glass is developing a small crack.

I strongly applaud the decision to drop Fritsch. Without decent culture, we will never have a decent team. On this score, it seems that Bayley left the Match C'tee with no option.

All fair points Rusty.

Our small forwards killed us. Where were the goals? Where was the pressure from recent weeks? I'd be resting Pickett and giving Bedford a run.

Gutted! That's all for now.

Thanks KK. We've got intermittent snow in Latham. I'd love to warm up by going early with a celebratory cognac, but I'm too nervous about changing my gameday routine. Ahh, the things we do for this football team!

The 'conversion' should be complete by the end of the day GCS.

This is a 'litmus test' game for the Dees, but we have been building, and I'm confident this will continue. Our fitness will see us home by 3 or 4 goals, in what should be a 'cracker' of a game.

Well done Demonlanders!!

Of course we have ..... it just weighs some of us down more than it does others.

Depends on the 'baggage'.

I love it! Both teams at near full strength. Should be a good contest and go some way towards sorting the real contenders from the pretenders. I think we are the former!

Really enjoying this thread. Seeing a different side of one of my favorite players makes me love him even more!
