  1. Scott should have said ‘I’m surprised it wasn’t postponed as only one team actually turned up’…. Suck on a savaloy Scott.
  2. I think this year depth may be a key success factor, with ‘health and safety protocols’. Running deep on all lines may be vital to winning games this year. Hopefully we have a squad deep system, and even if we lose several front liners, the next group can step up and deliver high class efforts.
  3. Lets see if it applies broadly or also includes Duckwood and co
  4. Academies should not be created just for draft advantages. It should be part of community building, giving less advantaged kids a chance. As an upside, it also gives us a chance to build supporters in these communities and create connection between communities and our club. They are powerful for those that get the benefits, and low cost/impost on clubs to run. I am all for them, even with the loss of access to top end talent because of the rule changes.
  5. Thanks. Before I drive 90 mins, I’m hoping to find something more official? Otherwise I’ll find a good and hit the highway…
  6. Reckon it makes me fair game, my screw up. But if I know when to take off my tin foil hat I could even do a genuine training report!
  7. @Demonlandor other mods, can you please update (by 2 years) the heading? Cheers
  8. Apart from my obvious typo [censored] up, any info would be welcomed …
  9. Hi all, I really appreciate the preseason training threads (big shoutout recently to Pickett Fence and others). I wanted to help out and get down to a session or 2, but have no info in where or when they may be. Nothing obvious on the website. Anyone have any details?
  10. Sounds like what you can pick up at the drive through of Frankston Maccas
  11. At Christmas lunch I asked my nutter Hawks MIL if she could just pop the GF replay on the telly. Went down as expected, made me a happy man. Had to suck down years of their smug [censored]. Nice to put a cats bum look on the old girls face!
  12. Watched the replay (again). So many magic moments that BT simply misses. There are so many small acts that add up to greatness. 15 goals to 1. Unbelievable. mrs Nekkid sees me watching the replay : ‘are you winning?’… ‘not right now, but I have faith’ (bang, bang, bang, bang, etc)!! glorious!
  13. A second rounder, two thirds and a fourth. Makes for a good points swap for a first rounder for a few teams seeking sons of guns (Ashcroft to Lions, Davey to Bummers). Can see us trading back in.

    We have a good spread of players in our best 22 that have a premiership medallion, too. Would think it might be the best in the comp come round 1, 2022!
  15. Don’t expect anything before 48 hours before the season starts…. I read somewhere they would prefer another year of ‘consolidation’ re rules rather than change, by who knows?
  16. How bad do they want it? Pretty bad based upon those pics !

    Last year we got through virtually injury free at the pointy end. Cant expect that again. Depth is critical, and it encourages fierce competition for spots. Looks like a good rotation set, maybe Rosman and Howes also in that mix but further back as developing wingers
  18. Hi Demonlanders, due to some family ‘excitement’ I missed getting tickets to the Bluey this year. If anyone finds they cannot go, I would be happy to take 2 tix off your hands. just putting it out there….
  19. Post your details, I’d rather buy it from you (if you are a retailer, of course!)
  20. I bought an item 6 weeks ago, it hasn’t arrived and has been discounted since! They dont respond to email or phone calls. Pretty crappy really.
  21. I feel like I have dissociative identity disorder reading this thread. Post about Raj, post about Roos, post about Taj, post about Roos… the last post was about Roos, so I’d better make this one about Taj. Welcome to the Dees, young man. Welcome to the premiers, who are set for a feast over the next few years.

    Lived in Berlin for a while. Used to be up listening or watching us getting pantsed over breakfast most weekends. I can report that a sherrin has passed east to west and back again through the Brandenburger Tor, and a few other sites besides that. Flughafen Tegel, Teufelsberg, Alexanderplatz… I was there when the Soccer World Cup was on. Magnificent. Took about a month to recover from that.
  23. Awesome! Imagine a Sydney team built around a Pfrengle Puncher combo!
  24. We started the year with our two key forwards injured. Brown and Weid. It was lucky we had TMac to throw forward and open a path for Angus on the wing. We got through the back end pretty well, with hunty doing an ankle, and May a hammy. How much was luck? Resilience? Science? he did us well, wish him the best of luck. Selwyn should be a capable replacement with lots of handover throughout the year.

    Who’s Mac Andrew? I cant see him past the premiership cup….
