  1. Been trying not to think too much about footy for the past fortnight and pursing every distraction I could find. Today however is Dee DAY.
  2. I’m hoping for a strong start by us. Then we can apply the shackles on our terms. Very few sides have been able to manage any meaningful catch up footy against us.
  3. It has been extended for another two seasons till 2059.
  4. Training at Optus this morning. Meanwhile a stupid woman flew in to Perth from NSW on Tuesday without a G2G pass and tested positive. Luckily she was still at the airport and swiftly dispatched to quarantine and will be deported.
  5. Our new flag coming soon. Actually the word may be originally from Chinese Ke-chiap which is a type of sauce.
  6. Deserved another chance. He’s taken his bad year on the chin and ready to move on to right things. If delisted I’m sure some another club would have picked him up cheaply and got a bargain.
  7. Was always going to be hard to drop anyone after such a dominating PF performance and no injuries of note. Hunt will be disappointed but he’s had too much time off recuperating for the biggest game in decades. Smith is still just too fragile for consistent appearances.
  8. That would be Greg Healy. Not the brother that ditched us.
  9. The bulldogs giving the heads up that they may target Gawn is likely a false flag. They have already alluded they are confident of sharking Gawns work. Everyone will be on the lookout as well as the umpires with the entire country watching. I suspect they will target either Oliver, Petracca or our younger guys in defence to induce errors and break structure.
  10. just Google “opening gates of hell gif” or “open gates of hell gif” or copy it.
  11. What’s next?
  12. This is consistent with what I was told by a work friend who has a diary from his ‘respectable’ pioneer ancestor which documented regular ‘jolly hunting parties’ to shoot native people who stole sheep in central Victoria. No mercy or quarter was given. A lot of deeply horrible things happened that deserve to be outed and perpetrators shamed in posterity. Genocide was practiced enthusiastically by many and elegantly whitewashed from history.
  13. Melksham is on 197 but may not get there.
  14. Tickets sold out in 9 minutes according to The Western Australian. Over 120,000 hopefuls missed out.
  15. To me and others there was the impression that Goodwin didn't want to show the bulldogs too much tactically in anticipation of meeting in the finals. The Bulldogs had more to play for then and couldn’t hold anything back.
  16. The bulldogs are white hot. A break might short circuit it. Then again a break before the GF is uncharted territory. There are no precedents to compare.
  17. Cant start dreaming about dynasties until we win the first one.
  18. John Crow Batty replied to old dee's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    So what’s happened to Demonlands most famous living troll?
  19. I don’t know what it means to goody but it is also a very rude Italian gesture that may be reciprocated with extreme violence from the recipient.
  20. Worth a last chance but if he gets delisted he will be picked up as spare parts in the PSD by another club. Just like we picked up Daw.
  21. Best if she just kept her comments to the joyous occasion.
  22. Desperate punters can try their luck on Doggyland or whatever their fan site is called tomorrow.
  23. Got mine section in 132. $405, a lot more than I paid for our last GF but I don’t care. GO DEES!
  24. Surprising really, many pundits have already switched band wagons. The more better, I’d like to see us moderately under dogged.
  25. Just wondering if someone who catered for the cats could have laced their Whiskas with Ratsak? The New Zealand Rugby team were nobbled before the final of the 1995 World Cup.
