I dunno what’s annoying me more, the commentators, or the umpiring. Both are an embarrassment.

It wasn’t. Well not in the laws, anyway. Old school Perth umpiring today. To the Eagles credit, they haven’t played anywhere near this intensity since they rolled Collingwood earlier in the season. Considering all the rank stupidity, including Ryan (who’ll get 3+ weeks), McGovern’s neck massage on Jack Viney, and the appalling latitude the umpires are giving them, we’ve weathered it well. All class, these Dees. Unflappable.

Most of what you say is either wild hyperbole or factual nonsense, like that. You can’t possibly be surprised at how the rest of us on here react.

Shouldn’t you be flying north for winter?

Commentators apparently not interested in the obvious feature of this game, being that West Coast haven’t hit double figures. They really are woeful, and sorry Jordie, you are hardly any better. Umpires apparently also not interested when Eagles get tackled and dispossessed. Margin’s going to blow out big time this quarter though I feel.

When he leans back on the ball strike, he always hooks it. Needs to keep his body weight going forward behind the leg, a la Ben Brown. It’s very predictable, sadly.

Unless we lose a quarter, will win by 8 goals+ I reckon. Depends entirely on Eagles effort. If they’ve genuinely checked out, it’ll get ugly.

As someone of NZ heritage who was born in Melbourne in 1965, started following the Dees during the shizen 70’s, before spending the late 70’s in Auckland and latching onto a rugby nation who apparently couldn’t lose (and I follow them still), my barracking life always had a kind of yin-yang balance. Now all I’ve got is YIN!!! [censored] balance, I prefer this.

I was sitting level 2A on Lingers wing. He could’ve laid out a blanket and cheese platter, such was the space he had/was given.

As Meatloaf sang, you took the words… Spargo’s off the ball work was massive…halved at least 2 contests where he was outnumbered, tackled to kill the release like he’s the best at it we’ve got. Love the boy!

All the official ones on here….. and my fave ‘demon’ behind Jack’s calf. What about bringing the fuschias back? (far right).

Both. The Herald-Sun/Murdoch press, to their regrettable indictable credit, know their audience. Robinson is that version of a football supporter that a whole demographic of ‘men’ want to be. He can be a ‘bloke’, he cares, can express passion (for footy at least), and reckons he knows more than the average punter because he spends so much time watching the game. That his analysis is empty and poorly delivered if not butchered, as compared to real journalists or insightful ex-players doesn’t matter, because he represents that demographic. It’s the old ‘I could do that’ sense of relatability.

Here’s the completed triptych (finally worked out how to get all 3 at web-ready resolution). Will be doing a print run in next 2 days, so please anyone else (aside from those known) let me know by PM if you’re interested. They are Demonland exclusive currently.

Great idea! If not this one, have an indigenous designed clash guernsey for keeps.

Web ready “Our Premiership” as follows … click on the isolated pic to get best res…

Ok. You can just PM us all then?

Hey Demonlanders, herewith print size and price details….*Fire away on Personal Messaging (if you haven’t done so already) Our Premiership Original size = 960mm x 800mm (with 20mm white border on 310 gsm paper - Archival grade) = $235 Small size = 600mm x 510mm (20mm border, 310gsm) = $125 CP5, Norm Smith Medallist Original size = 960mm x 800mm (20mm border, 310 gsm) = $200 Small size = 600mm x 410mm (20mm border, 310 gsm) = $110 *Note that both ‘Small’ sizes have the same longest side dimension as the “Max and Jack" ‘Small’ print size. *Note that the Original size longest dimension is ~ 75% size of the ‘Original’ size ‘Max and Jack’, as was intended at that full size. ⁃ Ordering either a single print or both will obviously require only one postage cost, at $15, can arrange for sending to Joeboy for framing as requested. * Link to high-def image forthcoming….

Not even close to the conversation for mine. Paddy Ryder at his best (just past it now) is the albeit mostly forgotten comparison. Sean Darcy the incumbent.

Not sure you missed much from the 70’s and 80’s COVID Dan. Carl Ditterich and Peter Moore (Brownlow winner) were both great, but not one club players, and had effectively cameo years. Which leaves Crackers Keenan, Gary Baker and Strawbs O’Dwyer, all with their charms, but a few rungs lower.

Ummm….yes, probably. Max is generational football fairydust. He was the difference yesterday, and for all the reasons you state, the best big man I’ve seen play. Underappreciated and always will be. Until he retires, maybe. The good thing being it seems he couldn’t care less.

Maybe the biggest positive to come from seeing the team without its ‘regulars’, it’s so many people waking up to how important Nibbler is to that system. Not the perfect footballer, he is perilously close to the perfect all-ground, all-the-time competitor. The no. 30 isn’t going to adorn the jerseys of many little Dees, which is a shame, cos he’s unquestionably one of the first 10 picked every week.

A half fit ANB still has the best endurance stats at the club. Exceptional runner, elite pressure acts. He plays even if he hasn’t trained.

His 20 metre off-direction bullseye handball to a sprinting Bedford was old-school Melksham….beautifully skilled. His goal as much as TB’s.

I have, yet I still have no idea what you’re talking about. Time and sleep = recovery. It’s that simple. Dees had more recovery than Hawks. This we know.

Hawks only had 5. They ran the game out much better considering that. We looked cooked, a bit crook even. Still, did the job despite some ugly ball use in the last going inside 50.
