I love pre-season, they look amazing, optimism  at lid is orbital levels. They look like Avengers ready to smash Thanos.

Rance may find his role a whole lot more difficult, wont that be lovely.

Yes, I really hope so. Team I want to beat this year, I to wouldn't mind additions to the 'when will this record be broken', such as losing margin. Preferably Geelong to take it over.

Hmm of that list, Collingwood is a top 4 side with the experience at 666, a bit of a worry.

I still remember the media interview, at the start of the league, I think it was AFL360, when she said I am only going to Melbourne in front of Gil. My love was huge right at that point, only grown since, absolute rock star that I think is very influential on raising our club's profile.

I am very content to pay both, club membership is such a better model over the owner based system the seppos have.

Super rapt, Daisy really is amazing, as are all mums who have just delivered a baby, in this case two. This news made my day, and the women flogged Brisbane on the weekend, perfect football timing.

Lol. Is this the first time you and PD have ever agreed on something? You guys should stick to car talk.

Heh, I was amazed to find common interests beyond the Dees too.

There are new 2km PB's everywhere, Hunt, Jetta and Salem, 3 I know of

 

It's probably confidential, but have always wanted to know the PB times of player for running and some of their weight records, curiosity has killed me over the years. Even a couple of 2km times would be much appreciated please. Do they crack 5m30sec? Under 6? I am flat out busting 20m for 5km, currently blown out to 22m for the distance. Always interested in what I could do in my salad days versus the players. PM the times if you don't want them spread around.

So they were longer as well?

in the beginning Daimler was part of Mercedes

daimler Benz

I once thought that too, the name is a coincidence, they companies were not connected.

Correction a British engineer bought the rights to the name and motor design but afterwards was always a english company.

Were the Daimler’s exactly the same apart from badges and options?

Yes it had the Jag 5.3lt 300hp engine, was released as the double six, Daimler was a UK company bought by Jag in 1960. Basically  aXJ stretch saloon.

Super happy about the sponsor. My dad had the W12 saloon with fabric roof (Daimler), I still remember going to Snowy Mountains for a summer holiday with a little 3 cyl Suzuki 4WD, a Honda moto bike on the trailer, and my 2 brothers plus camping gear blasting along at 140km/h listening to Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson on the cassette player, was epic. My uncle had the E type until the rear axle broke off. I have had a life long love of Jags ever since. Dad had the car until I was 18/19 and I got to drive it, including at speed, you really could see the fuel gauge move.

I was happy that the article went with 'Port Adelaide player' and not ex-Melbourne...

For me, playing with consenting breasts is one of life's great joys, for everyone one involved, and has very little to do with his ability as a footballer. 

And as has been said by others, obviously taking the urine. 

I sometimes feel we are headed for a world of sad, wannabe puritans who can't discern between consent, fun, and actually offensive behaviour, it is Oktoberfest, not a bloody kindergarten. By the way it isn't mutually exclusive to enjoy drinking champagne off a consenting nipple (for instance) and being an ardent feminist.  

Blowing off steam and getting drunk are risky behaviours (as are other drugs), things do go wrong, and the worst possible result is death, but the likelihood of that is still low enough (as proved by all os us on here surviving our teenage years) to be acceptable and tremendously sad for those that don't. But living in a world where all risk is redacted and sanitized, no thanks, we will just be killing ourselves more slowly as a spinless species of semi bright apes.

Weid is flying so far under the radar he’s not even listed in any Coleman Medal market. I don’t believe he will win it, just curious to see what one of our two main tall forwards was showing. 

A two goal per game average is doable for the Weid, exciting times ahead, especially with the new rules in place. Get the ball in quick from the centre and watch T Mac and Weid showcase their great marking abilities.

Interesting the spread is from $5 to $251 on these players.For sure Weid at 251 plus is a reasonable bet. I would have thought 50:1 would have been the right price considering the mids we have.

Sorry about the cut and paste on phone format was terrible.

He reminds me of Hawkins (Geelong) although not as big (obviously) at this stage. He's more mobile though.

Very high hopes. From all accounts a fine young man. (Gee, I sound like a codger... I guess there's a good reason for that!!!)

He seems a bit sharper between the ears than Hawkins who comes across as a slightly beautiful but quite stupid golden retriever.  The nose/height is Pavlich, for style there is something Salmonish about him I reckon, even if not as tall.

Jeez I'm bullish about our chances in preseason

If he has a 40 goal year, Collingwood is going to offer him the farm. I wouldn't mind if the club hired a minder to just keep the filth from whispering in his ear.

He plays like a FF in a way Hogan struggled with, Hogan to my mind was an awesome 100kg FF who played like a goal sneak, we were always hoping he'd time his pack marks better and kick straight from 40 but it never really happened.

Weids really has all the tricks to go far, and I think will end up stronger than Kennedy.

Take care....those places don't exactly sound like the Greek Isles

Thanks I will and it's not, but the scuba diving is 1st class in DJB, swimming with whale sharks next week. 

Reason for going is my partner got a (good) job there. It is 50 to 55 deg in summer Jul/Aug/Sep, utterly miserable, but she is the love of my life and mother to our kid so what to do. 

Security wise it is safe in Djibouti so no stress there. I also bought 200kg + of italian produce ( kilos of walnuts and pine nuts and pasta etc) so I can make pizzas and bread etc which are hard to find. The cheese will require some more logistical expertise but that is in my lane as well.

As for Yemen it is close to her and has good FIFO ratio, and well my life insurance is huge... and we will build a bunker at the port like you wouldn't believe for when those Saudi S.O.B. are bombing everything.

Upside to Yemen is the Houthi hate ISIS and they have all been potted, so hopefully no orange is the new black style jump suit for moi. But yes sad to be leaving Rome.

PS she did organize an awesome TV and internet connection for home so watching footy will still happen.

Not a poster but I use this site to help keep up to date with the Dees. I’m in San Francisco.

Little tip for those wanting the watch afl pass (which is USD150 on its own if you’re in the USA). The Demons international membership includes the watch afl pass and is AUD170 (USD120ish). Save some cash and increase the membership count!

This is seriously good info, I always bought a club family membership, I wonder if I can get a pass being overseas?, the membership has always been more of a donation than used. Because paying for watch afl on top of the membership is expensive.

FWIW Rome Italy the last 4 years- hugely enjoyable place to live, places to watch afl as well.

Moving to the ar$e of the earth, Djibouti, this month to follow wife's job, I will probably end up working in Hoediadah, Yemen, on a 4 week rotation, so big changes,  A big fear will be slow internet. 2 years and hopefully our last crappy gig and back to Europe.

I wonder if I could get away with posting the 1st vic on the pies site, how long do you reckon it would last???

HF: Lyon Schwartz Davey

F Farmer Fanning Jakovich 

IC: Neitz

Premise is based on their best efforts.

Love Jurrah but Davey invented/took Fwd 50 pressure to a new level.

And I love Neitz but Fanning as a big game performer would be the starter.

@Smokey it slipped my mind, that irony doesnt work on forums (secret handshake)

McDonald good name for a captain. Super impressive interview, wouldn't mind if he was made captain, probably sense in it being a midfielder though. Jones, Viney, McDonald, Gawn we are not short of leaders.

The highlights didn't have the initial free kick but here is the rest which resulted in Jonesy's goal.

The only thing that could have been better is Viney playing on and getting past Selwood. And yes he did throw his head back on the ground.

Ever since Melbourne took BT outback at the Alice game, he has been very biased towards the Demons. Thats my impression.

In love with Daisy, like the rest of us. But even with BT on the Dee train I still can't stand his call.
