I forgot all that!

I think Mark Wacko Jacko was the last Jackson to leave the Dees. We hung onto Ricky, he was a beauty. Mind you, Mark hadn't played in a barnstorming, premiership-defining season ...

Drew much inspiration from this morning, hopefully stuff likes this helps to get the Dees back on track: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/jones-finds-peace-after-grand-final-devastation-20220606-p5argo.html

Well i remember the '88 elimination against WCE, it was a shocking firdt half by the Dees, we swung Sean Wight forward in the second half and it was a different team, we stormed home at VFL park.

BBB is currently trying to mark in the middle of a moshpit.

Was thinking that myself.

On a positive note, there was a very healthy queue for memberships outside the ground and many, many little kids be-decked in the red and blue (inc. mine) walking up Brunton Rd (obviously unaware of our injury list). We got our little Demon apparel at half-time.

Pickett into the guts. Consistently won the ball in contests and showed footy smarts.

That mark at 5+ minutes very Schwartesque. Dillon, Parker and Schwarz all rolled into one.

I think your KA has picked up on the rich heritage of grandstanding TV callers I suffered through my prime years: Mike Williamson, Peter Landy and Sandy Roberts.

Viney's mindset is second-to-none. He has been in the dark times and doesn't let the players get ahead of themselves.

You are all over this, well done. For mine I don't even bother to watch these games till they are over even though I have kayo. Go Dees.

Ryan already dished out an AFL-approved bump earlier this year, think a firm warm lettuce would be warranted in this instance.

There's no reason to assume these 3 players will suddenly drop off.

W.A go home factor: 1-1, thus far = Tingay stayed, Farmer went. I am putting down Big Bob Johnson and Hassa Mann as irrelevant, they didn't go home they just went.

Good news, I just checked into Gus N Gawny 50th celebration podcast and they haven't rebadged it 'Gus is Gawny" as yet.

On a side note, there are a little of little Demons coming to the footy. One dad (and mum) was telling his boy that he could come to the footy 'but would have to show commitment'. I think there is a genuine groundswell of young Demons who don't show up in the stats, just yet.

Three direct passes to the opposition by Bowie today. Haven't seen this fun fact mentioned anywhere thus far.

I wonder how many at Storm game, and why both teams fixtured at same time.

Not for Sam.

Three clangers notwithstanding.

We could expand our indigenous presence by making the Punt Rd a "Naarn FC" home ground complete with community access and demon livery.

Imagine MFC getting their colours on this site: Tigers to quit Punt Road unless stand demolition approved

Gawny is a great player in a great team players like Gary Baker were A grade guns in modest teams that didn't get on the telly.

Never seen so much red and blue at the Berwick roadhouse.
