At Least I Saw a Flag

Lyon's fashion idol is obviously the late Happy Hammond. Only older members of this group will understand that reference.

FWIW he grew up a Demons supporter. My kids and I used to go to Demons' matches at the G with him, his younger brother and mother regularly in the late 90s/early 2000s. How's that for quality name dropping? But it's a no from me.

A few on this site seem to think that Hunt should be dropped. I think he's done an OK job ... assuming that his main job is to keep his opponent quiet. I suspect that the job of providing drive from the HB line is left to others who can kick better, e.g. Bowey, Rivers and Salo (of course) when available. I don't think the depth is quite what we thought ... Melksham/Weed/Baker ... had plenty of chances ... Dunstan, not convinced ... Bedford/Chandler ... I guess they're young and will get chances to show their stuff, but to me neither have shown much.

Where was the warning "dad joke alert" ?

That brings back (not happy) memories. I had 7 broken ribs ... moving in bed was agony, and I could feel/hear terrible 'crackling' ... ouch! Poor Lingers .... my favourite current player.

I withdraw that comment after that ridiculous free kick paid to Prior.

Helped by really good umpiring

You're a freakin genius !!!

Would it be very wrong to hope that the filth win today?

Fritsch kicking the ball into Dunstan's back .... lol (cue Benny Hill music)

PRAISE THE LORD !!!!

Evener up?

Free kick Demons

That booing at Jee-long is doing my head in.

I've voted - postal vote. Preparing lentil soup, may sit outside in the sun after that and do the cryptic crossword. Not going to the match .... hate Doglands and have a commitment tonight (see below). I'm predicting a woeful attendance ... 25,000 is my guess. Attend Don's Party tonight. (The younger folk in this forum won't understand this reference.)

Fun (useless?) fact ... There are 2 hamstrings in each leg. Years ago I had one hamstrung removed to be used as part of a shoulder reconstruction.

Do you mean Melksham?

Indeed ... and we will presumably be 10-0 after playing Norf. Interesting times after that ... Demons yet to play Freo, Swans, Brisbane & Carlton.

There were a few times where players didn't pass to a teammate in a better position .... BBB Tmac Kozzy ... although he ran into an open goal but poor Lingers looked pretty pixxed off not to receive the handball Having said that, they all kicked goals ... Trac ... guilty, and missed a couple of times I presume these are pointed out in their reviews.

The last 2 games have shown why Tmac is well ahead of Weid. I'm sure i differ with virtually everyone else on this forum but I think that Bedford deserves a one week suspension for that tackle. I'm not a great fan of Melksham, but I think he would be a suitable med sub if Chandler cops a suspension, particularly to help him get closer to 200 games.

Indeed .. I also remember when the Swans were on a losing streak of about 30 matches ... guess who they had a win against to break that streak? To make matters worse, I was at that match!! PS. I was also at the loss v Essendon VFL side.

Hey, where's everyone watching today's match? I'm going to The Sporting Globe in Richmond. If anyone else is going there, I'm the bloke wearing the Demons cap !! 😉

Has anyone ever seen that bloke smile?

Can't hear the crowd chanting Jee-long clap/clap/clap Jee-long clap/clap/clap

Zac Jones is playing so badly.
