Demonised

The two set shots that ANB missed in the first quarter made a difference, making it a four goal opener instead of a six goal flyer.

They ran and spread like maniacs. We spread like butter that's been left in the freezer for a couple of months.

They're being very physical on Max, jumping into him at every opportunity, knees and boots first.

Yeah, not many teams beat the Eagles at home. Hold on a second...

The barcode thing only seems to work for reserved seats.

We're south of their border? Bizarre.

Can't agree with the naysayers who declare that we aren't top 4 material. We were. Indisputably. Take a look where we finished.

Can't help feeling that we'll look back on 2018 as a chance we've let slip. Crucial losses (St Kilda!) cost us a top two finish in a wide open year. The flag could have been ours.

There are worse stereotypes. Excuse me while I dust the snow off my Range Rover with my tartan blanket before getting my manservant to register a few dozen barcodes I've somehow managed to accumulate.

Because their success has had no humility with it, no grace and no modesty.

I hope it stays up longer than Tomas Bugg's ...

My plane trip home was almost a perfect blackout - left Cairns at 7 pm, arrived in Melbourne at 10.10 to find that Demons were up by 30 with four minutes to play. Still wasn't confident.

Would get twelve weeks these days. Deservedly.

Was Steven King even reported for kicking Jeff White's face in?

Max, for lots of reasons, just ahead of Clayton.

I want to draw attention to Oscar Mac's first kick, the one that ended up in our opening goal. Precise, attacking, audacious, skimming just over a giant and into Jordan Lewis's hands. Deserves accolades.

Kicks well, too.

Nice point, but note that most style guides insist on a space before an ellipsis ...

To the privileged, equality feels like oppression. If you've always lived with outrageously favourable umpiring, fair umpiring seems incredibly unjust.

He's become one of our most important players.

Imagine if he'd played in a team that won regularly ...

Sunday's match is season defining game No. 8 for us ...

All true, but it's even more demoralising when l) the dinky pass goes astray or m) the player who marks the dinky pass misses a complete sitter of a set shot.

Oh yeah. Last week, f'rinstance, Salem had a good head of steam, crossed fifty, and then looked for a dinky pass. On one of Hunt's few dashes down the ground, same. Bang it home, son!
