You should be safe to read Demonland up till about the last couple of minutes. Nobody EVER puts scores on the game day thread.... Just a stream of single word posts like "BALL", .or "WATTS!"... If anyone elaborates its usually a post like "We are gone" or stuff like that. (And even those have often been wrong this year lol)

Im going straight to the club shop and buying a soft shell jacket... been looking at it online all year. Its a luxury, but i will be happy to pick one up if we win. Oh, im also sending a text to my boss, whos son plays for Port, reminding her that he should ask for a transfer to a successful club. (She also controls the roster so it will be my last game for the year)

Last time i saw us win live, from memory Beamer was still playing for us. (That was against Essendon ages ago) Im overdue to see another win. Got tickets to see this one with my daughter, so im naturally pumped with our ins. Bring it Dees. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I really look like a cat.

Socrates was an idiot.

Yeah, but in his defence, when he was playing for us nobody gave a thought to him being a backman.... it took the genius of Collingwood to try him there... /sarc

WE WILL WIN

To say we need a few early on in the second is an understatement. Stats say we are in front in the inside 50 entries 18 to 14......... I cant even blame the umps. Grrrrrr

Cambodian in-joke.

So you want to see others given a holiday because you feel some vicarious anger........ even though you admit that the responses you read indicate the poster wasnt upset..... because YOU were they deserve a ban........... Yeah, that makes sense.

I hear that the Saints fans rate him extremely highly..................

Your missus owes me a hug for the Jesse Hogan badge i sent her.

Haha i feel so much better about myself after reading the OP. I often read back through my own post on DL and wish i could take them back, particularly after being sent a message or 3 from my brother telling me to stop posting while im on the gas. Even if Curnow ends up being a gem ( he certainly has the makings of a player ), i am confident Weed will also become one. Curnow might have the appearance of coming on fast, but so did Jordan Gysberts and many others. Just give our guy some more time to show his worth. This might end up being a post you wish you didnt make.... maybe in a year or 2.

Club expects its players to be hard, but rolls over when they need and deserve some backup. My pride in management just dropped a notch.

That'll do Pig, .............. That'll do. *nods

Seems like ages since we last played. I was getting used to the 6 day breaks. The players looked cooked last week so i am sure they are happy to have had 9 days to regroup for this game. Hoges back, Garlett back... Great news. I dont expect a swag of goals from Jesse this week unfortunately. Not many players can have the amount of time off that he did and expect to dominate straight away. Jeffy should be primed though and i reckon he could kick a few if the supply is there. Sadly, i dont think it will be. I can see us being dominated in the center with so many of our best 22 out of the guts. Normally i would predict a thumping in these circumstances, but we have shown time and time again that this is going to be a rare thing. (Thank goodness) Still, i predict a Bloos win by a few goals. You win games in the center and they surely have us covered today. GO DEES !

Roger that, yes that would have made a difference, although i still wouldnt have said Buggs actions were in any way worse.

lol now you are arguing against your own post.... I asked you to list the ways you thought the "hit" was worse and you gave 3 examples. The hit WAS the incident, so you cant decouple the 2. Its there for all to see so your backtracking is pointless.

- Unsuspecting victim due to the environment/professionalism that is or should be shown by AFL level players (compared to the other victim who was standing right in the middle of a country footy all in brawl, who had just been dragged off a different opponent. Anyone that has ever played footy where there has been an all in would know that if you are standing in the middle of it, you're going to be targeted from all angles, especially if you've been seen getting dragged off an opponent). Yet you actually used it as a reason you thought that the Bugg hit was worse. Bugg was bad but the AFL employees was definitely worse, both in outcome AND intent.

Geezus dude, if you think that a king hit matters less because its country footy, then your regard for people isnt as high as you might think, and your view that somehow the number of TV viewers makes Bugg worse, well, im almost speechless. Bugg had also just been given some(minor) treatment by his victim, so the first point doesnt hold water either. Thats some of the wildest straw-clutching i have ever seen on this site. If the footage alone doesn't tell you that there was a massive difference in the incidents i dont know what will.

Name all the ways Buggs hit was worse. Please.

FAKE NEWS !!! Sad.

Trengove is too slow.... too soon?

Certainly explains the selections (obviously) If they were all able to be picked, maybe only 1 or 2 at best would have been you would think. Even if they might have made the difference between a win and a loss ( ummm, no) this says heaps about how the club is being run now. No D'head policy writ large. I heartily endorse this action. Well done MFC, boo to the 4 involved.

Shame.... this will be our worst loss for the year by a long way... And on the single Friday Night slot we get. Any publicity is good publicity?
