Tom Wills
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.

Melksham is on 197 but may not get there.

Tickets sold out in 9 minutes according to The Western Australian. Over 120,000 hopefuls missed out.

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
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.

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
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.

Cant start dreaming about dynasties until we win the first one.

So what’s happened to Demonlands most famous living troll?

Goodwin’s ‘devil horn’ sign 🤘🏻
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.

Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
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.

Congratulations Nathan Jones!
Best if she just kept her comments to the joyous occasion.

TICKETING: GF vs Bulldogs
Desperate punters can try their luck on Doggyland or whatever their fan site is called tomorrow.

TICKETING: GF vs Bulldogs
Got mine section in 132. $405, a lot more than I paid for our last GF but I don’t care. GO DEES!

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
Surprising really, many pundits have already switched band wagons. The more better, I’d like to see us moderately under dogged.

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
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.

CHANGES: GF vs Bulldogs
If Tmac goes back he will slot straight in. He replaced Tomlinson when he did his knee and did very well. He couldn’t get a kick before that move. He’s a natural defender. I would be tempted to play him on Naughton. He’s not the kind of player that gets out marked easily.

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
We now know what they got and where they are at. Port thought it was a stroll in the park until they got mugged. I expect any complacency or overconfidence to be wiped.
-
PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs
At least we know now what the Bulldogs have got. If any over confidence or complacency has crept in it will be wiped now. No way I expect us to not show up like Port at the start. Port were exposed for what they were. Flat track bullies and bathwater drinkers.
-
PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs
Port like us in 2018 prelim. Ambushed and mugged after drinking too bath water.

The trade Jack Viney thread
That two week enforced holiday certainly freshened him up. I always felt he was always returning prematurely after injuries and only making things worse.

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
Just woke up after a big night. It was a completely dominant performance. The atmosphere and support was amazing. Felt like 20,000 Melbourne supporters sneaked over the border. Still at a loss for words. Now to sort out unfinished business.

GAMEDAY: PF vs Geelong
Fans with colours appears 70-30 our favour. Looks like no rain

4 is an unlucky number.

I will, I dusted the bottle off in 2000 and in 2018 but sadly had abandon the celebrations. It now resides in a Shane Woewodin 2000 port box. I consumed that one long ago.

GAMEDAY: PF vs Geelong
A fine cool day today in Perth. Some light scattered showers expected in the evening with light winds. Should be mostly clear though.
