  1. Kozzie is a terrific example of player development and talent recognition.

    We drafted him much earlier than his expected position (presumably because we didn't want to miss him).

    Then we stuck with him through his first 20 games or so when spent much of the time running around like a headless chook.

    Now we have a gun small forward/mid who can perform show stealing miracles and who has another 200 games to go !!!!

    Stop it with the harmony and politeness. Have you forgotten where you are Uncle? This is Demonland and respect and manners don't go unpunished. 

    I can abuse and belittle better than most deever ! ( my time in rehab testifies to that )

    I just can't [censored] be bothered anymore. 

    The amount of [censored] on Demonland nowadays is overwhelming. 

    PS. This comment does not refer to my civilised discussion with Binman's PA.

    PPS. I mean self righteous  bull [censored] from both the over sanctimonious Pollyannas and the loony chicken littles.

    We just need a contest in the ruck, and he's more than proved he's a good contested mark forward and back.

    I don't think Petty or Disco has the ruck nous/ability to negate Draper.

    The ruck is not "overrated" if Draper is able to feed his mids.

    I'd bring Petty in for Max. That'd be it.

    Who takes the ruck? 

    This is the problem 

    Our best second ruck is JV R but we would be be robbing our goal kicking power by having him rucking for an extended period.

    I don't think Disco or Petty would be of much use against Draper.

    Naming storms and the like after people always seems a little odd to me.

    Do we do it for earthquakes or wars?

    Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered.

     

     

    I understand Dr. Alzheimer forgot what his award was for.

    According to another person on here it’s a 3-hour flight. In reality it’s three hours and 45 minutes. 👍🏽

    Well .... you must  remember that daylight saving makes a difference !!

    Not sure entirely it was desperate times. 

    You're never going to get a like for like for Jackson.

    Literally just needed a back up ruck that can be physically competitive when needed. Fullarton is more a 200cm forward flanker.

    Excellent description dazzle. JVR is now doing just this  and is improving every week. You don't have to win the tap out but apply physical pressure so that the oppo ruck can't give his mids an armchair ride.

    (JVR will be sorely missed today)

  8. I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year. What a shock and [censored] show that turned out to be!

    This year, I am firmly ensconced at The Manor for what I expect to be a tough and close struggle.

    Max will simply have to be more superhuman than ever as he is facing a two on one against a couple of serious players. As a team, a slow start must be avoided and we will need to take all our chances inside 50.  Fritta is always reliable but we will need contributions from McAdam and Petty.

    Our defence will be the difference.

    Dermie wears more foundation than any woman I know. 

    I had to turn the tv for the half time break. Dermie is unwatchable !!!

    He was a terrific footballer but an intellectual he aint.
