Redleg

I look in the mirror to shave or brush my teeth and see a club member of the Premiership AFL team. Gee, I suddenly look and feel better than I have in the past.

Good to be able to say that now.

To the devotees and fans of this thread, there is no doubt it is more popular than Harry Potter. PS: If you do like Harry Potter, all the movies are being shown currently on Foxtel.

Scott Boland’s dad is Mick.

Yep, a premiership will do that for you.

First Harry Potter book published 1997 and this thread started in July 2011. Pity I didn’t get royalties, like JK Rowling.

"Truth" are the words that come from my mouth and keyboard.

It has become essential reading for 1000’s. I think at one stage it had a higher readership than the Harry Potter 📚 books. I see it as a vehicle for spreading truth, in a world of misinformation.

Yes one of the premier footballers who played at MFC.

On club website in his profile he is listed at 194 cms and 88 kgs.

The B & F was indoors.

Free rapid antigen tests, widely available at chemists and a change to the Queensland Queen’s entry requirements, will slash the testing queues dramatically. PS. Her latest offering that Queensland hospitals should only be for Queenslanders, is just another moronic bit of dribble from her mouth.

2 great footballers. Who is the other one?

At least they didn't get the cane.

The parking inspectors get hopping mad.

Not sure if new players feel pressure from numbers of past champions, but I would prefer Taj gets a higher number, which eliminates that extra pressure.

Another poster had already answered for me.

We might be getting to a position where the list runs so deep, that capable players just can’t get a game. Now being a premiership team, some of those players will want to be traded to get their opportunities. In the past they would be seen as freebies or NQR’s, whereas now they will be seen in a different light by the other clubs and become tradeable for draft picks, which when bundled in pick swaps, improves our draft hand. Then when JT gets to work, you hopefully pick up more young talent and the list keeps improving. That provides a sustained opportunity for more success, while our core group of champions are still at their best. Hopefully you replace some of them with more very good players, knowing that real champions are not always around or available. TBH and not getting carried away, it would not be stupid to say that this current team has a real chance to win a few more flags while it’s core is still playing well. Of course, luck with injuries is still hugely important and hard work has to be a given. We are now in a very good position to have continued success and as fans, we have a chance to reap a lot of enjoyment from our club after years of disappointment.

Froggy I was unaware you were unwell. Please accept my apology and I hope you are on the mend soon. The lily pad will not be the same without your contributions. I hope the flag is helping you mend and watching the replay is not hindering your exercise. All the best for a safe and happy xmas and new year, regards from your mate on the other side of the pond, Redleg.

Life takes us in different directions and hopefully Jesse is happy at GWS, but he must have watched the GF with a lot of “what if” thoughts. No I wasn’t talking about Jesse, Maurisey got it in his post above. Hiw are the lily pads in WA Froggy?

Agree. I think the 3rd goal of the last and it could have been ANB, or Langdon, when we hit 7 goals up and with about 15 minutes left, I started to tear up, realising we had just won the flag.

He’s back, having grown about 21 cms and pretending to be a 2022 draft possibility, playing in South Australia with West Adelaide. Will be drafted next year, ensuring the thread continues for another 10-15 years. How ironic if we draft him again.

Why blame Pert? I am sure he would have preferred Friday/Saturday night, or Saturday afternoon, so kids and country Dees fans could attend and see flag unfurled. I think he just suggested first round, not Wednesday night. Another pathetic AFL decision.
