  1. Spring Racing Carnival
  2. That's an excellent point.
  3. indeed. With no may, losing Lever late was the icing on the cake. If the icing was unappetising and the cake worse.
  4. The whole team.
  5. Go Saints. Go Suns. [censored] off 2024.
  6. Our season in a nutshell.
  7. Laurie wouldn't be my first pick.
  8. Looking at the radar, it will all pass over by 6pm or so. Ground will be wet but no rain during the first quarter and a half. Then it will bucket down.
  9. Feels like a metaphor for our season:
  10. I was thinking more about not playing Jefferson and getting some surgery done early. The pies for instance are managing mcstay.

    I feel much the same way and understand completely. I'm going for nibbla.
  12. Selecting to win. Go dees.
  13. Sadly, with our kicking skills, you're probably right!

    Is his his nick name Nosey?
  15. There's a game this week?
  16. Because peanuts and trolls constantly get quoted!
  17. I resemble that comment.

    I hope they appeal and i hope it goes down to four weeks. Just in case they go undefeated for the rest of the year. Don't want him to risk missing round one for the dees next year thru injury.

    White and black?
  20. Actually not that many to he honest. I tend just to skip posts by posters who grind my gears or burn my bacon. I just checked. 28 in total. But I've posting on demonland for a long time. Mainly 'characters' that are long gone (mostly banned) - eg lord nev, tonatopia (the first poster i ignored), curry and beer, matsuo basho, dee-luded (not to be confused with deeeluded, stuie (lord nev's intense first incarnation), osilik and uncle fester. And a small handful of current posters.
  21. Go to setting and there is an ignore users option. Used and recommended by binman.
  22. I doubt it. But if true, good on him.

    Adam the Jesus?
  24. The data is anecdotal? So, to clarify when you say 'statistically very few ruckmen are any good after 33' you actually mean your vibes are that there aren't many examples of rucks playing good footy at 35. Glad we cleared that up. Interestingly you list some terrific examples of rucks playing good footy in their mid 30s. Ta. No reason then maxy couldn't follow in their footsteps. By the by, why should I list other examples? You are the one making the argument nor me.
  25. This is such an important point. One of the (many) things that really frustrates me about how footy is covered by the media is the thread of blatant hyprocicy that runs through it. Take the way clarry's situation has been covered Media people love to bang on how great footy clubs are in terms of 'wrapping their arms around' players who are experiencing personal issues. But then all season they get stuck into clarry and the club because it's great for clicks. And give the club very little, if any, kudos for how they have wrapped their arms around claz and support him through what is probably the most difficult period of his young life. And, similarly don't give claz kudos for his commitment and the work he is doing. It's particularly galling when it's ex players who are being hypocritical given every one of them would understand how challenging the whole thing us. Even more galling is the completely disingenuous coverage about all things players struggling with mental health issues. Actually, disingenuous is being kind. The media is a huge part of the problem and rarely a meaningful part of the solution.
