Yes, this is what I heard too. I think they possibly have another incoming besides Balic.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

This is good news. Interesting comments by him, regarding him being frustrated that his form had dipped at the wrong time and he wasn't able to pull it round sufficiently in the 2s in time for the final rounds. I wonder if this means that, if we acquire Lever, TMac will be permanently forward? I certainly see upside to Frost - at his best, his intercept work is great and his sprint out of defence is at times exhilarating! Well done young man.

I only just discovered the blog this season - it's one of the best blogs I've ever read. Can't bring myself to read the Great Dee-pression though, as it encompasses the entire period of my Demons supporting life (I am a Pommy immigrant).

Some people are desperate for something they can get offended/outraged/angry about and the journos know it. Even the write up after the game by Jennifer Phelan, described the mood in the rooms as strangely upbeat (or words to that effect). As if it would be! Just journalists jumping onto an easy bandwagon to stir up [censored], outrage, sensational headlines. Pathetic. You don't think the Saints players have been giving it to Demons players about their 20 game winning streak over the past few years?

Great post, spot on.

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men...

???

Have a great time all you Demons going to the G - I can't make it today, probably a good thing as I'm so nervous, I could puke! Gotta go today, boys, gotta go today ❤️?

Plus, they taste like [censored].

Can't be confident about today's game: have seen so many of these games go the wrong way over the past few years. BUT! It's in our hands now: we are not a top four team yet, but a good win today will show that we deserve our place in the Top 8. Come on you Demons!

Gotta go now, Demons, gotta go now.

I like it - looks great on iPhone, much cleaner. Thanks for the work you put in.

He really does - he keeps pulling out the tricks, but also has such hardness. He marches to the beat of his own drum, Jayden - it's great to see a personality like that in our club. It's been a long time since we've had legitimate swagger, and now we've got a couple that can turn it on.

K-Rock was my favourite, pretty good station all round.

Did Joel Smith play VFL this week?

Hurn got Viney, Viney got Hurn back harder. There's footage of Viney running back through the rooms once he'd been taped up: I bet Shannon Hurn heard those footsteps and felt like a Mafia hit, whose cards were marked!

I have been wondering about this for a long time - it seems blindingly obvious and I am amazed that it hasn't raised a murmur amongst the footy journos. Essentially, the Bombers must have offered huge compo packages, otherwise there would have been a class action through the courts. If you cast your mind back to last year, the rumours were that Dyson Heppell (and his family) was furious with the way he had been treated by Essendon and was almost certainly going to leave. Same, I think, with Michael Hurley. Nek minnit, they re-sign and are as committed as ever to the Bombers. It seems to me that they have been able to rort the system by paying out large chunks of contracts as compensation. I take it that the AFL will be sweeping this under the carpet?

I remember a game vs Hawthorn in about 2009/10, just as they were hitting their straps. We went in ahead at half-time, but when I saw the Hawks walk slowly out of the race and right through the Melbourne players at the start of the second half, I knew we were about to get bullied!

I just had a look at the Melksham incidents - Hanson goes down like a shot dog each time: did Melksham snipe him both times or was Hanson playing for the frees?

That is an awesome idea. Look forward to hearing some of the Demonland greats in person - good luck!

Not bad going - Lovett didn't quite make the cut, but pretty good otherwise. Any thoughts on this Saturday's lotto numbers?

She was co-commentating the Doggies/Adelaide(?) Rd 1 game and said that she grew up barracking for the Demons.

And 2007-2013 needs a clinical psychiatrist!
