At Least I Saw a Flag

I met them at Demons' training last week. I can assure you that they are very handsome gents !!

He seems like a nice enough bloke, so I'm sorry for him. Must be terribly stressful.

Chill out man ...

Only an optimist would think that. Nice meeting you on Friday. Look forward to your podcast tonight.

The knock on by O'Brien was their worst error. Hit it to Lever. He should have either grabbed the ball or fumbled it to create another stoppage, or knocked it towards the boundary. David King discussed it at length on the Last Crack last night.

Spot on. We lucked in ... that punch/tap by O'Brien into open space was really dumb. (Although Max replicated it with the final centre ball up!!) And lucky it went to Lever, who has a very high footy IQ. No hope of winning had he kicked the ball down the line. So did I. Agree, Hunt was awesome. Best game I've seen him play.

Sparrow + Spargo out ... Harmes + Bowey in.

Hey, does anyone know why Kozzy was so angry with Newns after he kicked the winning goal? He was ropeable ... I'm guessing, but perhaps Newns had been continually holding/scragging him?

A pessimist is an optimist in possession of all the facts.

I hate the filth ...

Is that why Melksham got a 50 metre penalty? Staging? (or was it dissent by him or someone else?) Made a certainty of the goal.

Soz, just saw your post ... after I posted the same!!!

I thought the same. Surprised it wasn't mentioned before. Twas a moment of madness, and was eerily (frighteningly) reminiscent of the match we lost against the Saints at Doglands in 2015. Montagna kicking the winning goal after a similar tap out by Max. (Howe had put the Demons ahead with 41 seconds left.) Learnings!! Max should have either grabbed the ball, or tapped it at his feet to create a secondary ballup. It would have been game over. Still, no harm done .. except to my nerves !! I've been reading the Blues bigfooty page ... and suprisingly, the comments are incredibly reasonable. Kozzy showed why he can never be dropped. He has the x factor, and can win games off his own boot, even when having a quiet one.

Watched some of the Bulldogs v GWS match. Free kick Bulldogs (and conversely no free kick GWS) directive being implemented.

They are actually 11 point turnarounds. Sorry, I'll see myself out.

Can't remember which season it was, but about 7 so years ago, Carlton won only 4 games for the season. 2 of their wins were against Melbourne, who weren't far off making the finals. MFCSS has set in, particularly in view of the fiasco regarding Cripps which Carlton will see as a victory. Demons were short priced favourites v filth (first time round), Freo (first time round),, Swans, . None of these matches ended well.

I popped in to the training session today. First time ever ! It was beaut to meet some D'landers ... As others have said, the general vibe (on and off the oval) was very relaxed. Go Dees !!!

and the Constitution.

It won't happen.

Besties .. and what ripper blokes they are !!

No way

So inevitable .. Is anyone here really surprised?.

Richmond won a flag with Grigg as second ruck. Ruckman ARE overrated unless they can go forward, or have X factor like Max.

The ground is public open space. The building is used, in part, for some useful community purposes. Victoria Park used to be referred to as the zoo. Insulting to animals really.

A high percentage of their supporters are vile. They are truly the filth. Seeing the filth win is as bad as seeing the Dees lose. When both events occur in the same match .... god help us.
