old dee

The Easter footy Gods have smiled on me. Thursday loss by the pies, carlton losing again. The mighty Dees roll the top of the ladder GCS, then when I didn't think it could get any better the cats lose by 1 point.

Are you serious? We are starting the season with a match, then a bye, then our second match, and another bye????

This needs to be put on the agenda asap, it's a deadset joke and it compromises development and competition integrity.

You have my vote Pates but the media seems happy to ignore it and no criticism from the media means the AFL has interest in changing anything. WE need Collingwood to complain that would get some interest by the AFL to change the VFL. Even the name i stupid. The competition has teams from QLD, NSW and Shortly Tasmania.

My 3 word analysis of you old Dee

Always a negative

You see that is a big disagreement. I was just making the observation that I didn't see him and you see that as a negative. I guess you are in the negative hunter moda.

I was doing doing the same because I had thought he had made a couple of previous attempts, and didn't have my tick, but I was wrong and he did some good things in traffic, looked comfortable and second attempts linking up.

Good to hear, I see he had 40% game time which doesn't look good. But then how much time to those on the bench average? I have no idea.

Question: was the umpiring in the third and fourth quarters as bad as a number of us thought or we just suffering the other team blindness?

Umpire 22 Nathan Williamson: Worst on ground

Yep he should be the the vfl next week.

I know this is easy to say now but from the go I thought we would win that game. I have to admit Sharp is playing well and Kolt is playing well in a defensive mode. For the life of me I did not see Laurie on the ground and I was looking. It said he had 40% game time.

Melksham. What an absolute legend. Do we manage him week to week? He looked pretty sore late but he’s so important at making a contest.

Our 2 old veterans are playing well. Please don't drop either

L P was going faster in the last quarter than in the first.

Another 99 out of 100 joeboy. I went today to watch Laurie, I honestly didn't see him once.

Here we are on the 4th April 2026 and no closer to an answer than this time last year and the same time in 2024. Any reasonable person would assume that there is at the least one major problem. Silence they say is golden, on this project it sounds like death.

Interesting to see McVee playing as a lockdown on Rankine. Didn’t he leave Melbourne because he wanted to not be a lockdown defender?

Howe come on down, he left so he play as a forward. How did that go. I always thought it was a [censored] statement. Just a handy excuse when the real reason was he just wanted to move to the pies.

i know Voss will ultimately pay but where were Carltons on-field leaders in the last quarter

The same as where they were last week. For a couple of years now I have been of the belief that they don't have the players. They over estimate the quality of there list.

Carlton should have a big enough half-time lead to coast home from here.

Famous last words.

Agree but those Bears are definitely back on track.

Still wouldn't it be good for the game to have a Bears v Suns GF !!

PS: Just installing everything on a new phone and it told me Demonland had an App which I've now installed. Had not realised that before. Thanks Andy and team for your wonderful work. Must be time for another donation drive !

Go Dees

A large number of us pay a membership fee DJ.

Any weekend that starts with a Pies loss is a good one.

The 3 who drop out will be Batman, Heath and Laurie.

Easter Sunday morning at Cranbourne/Casey.

Could break the all time low attendance record. Not that this is relevant anymore to the VFL.

Seriously what was wrong with 1:30pm Saturday ??

Nothing DJ, do really expect sanity from the vfl? The media just seem to ignore this shambles of a feeder competition.

In the sense that whilst King has suggested he's carrying some niggles, I suspect there's some aspect of his game King wants him to work on.

And to do so likely requires some time at Casey.

And if he does have some niggles, is one week not playing at senior level going to do much to help him get over them?

And again the ridiculous vfl competition comes to light again, no game last week for Casey they had a bye so players returning from injury / form have to sit on there hands.

The Sun's had a good first up win against Geelong however their next two were Richmond and the Eagles. Both poor sides who have been filling bottom 4 sports for some time. I think we start on fairly equal terms.

Money spinner for the dees - and we need the money old

Yes but by the time everyone gets their cut we will probably get $5 a jumper.

Do you not recall the 26 point zone of death in '23 OD.

How many times did we get up by 26 points in the third quarter but lost.

36 points up is my comfort zone these days but even then...........

I think I am back to the worried no matter how far in front we are.
