At Least I Saw a Flag

Watched AFL 360 tonight. Our friend King was on ... Does anyone backflip more than him? He should only have been on for half the show, cos he's the 180 expert!

I see what you did there ...

Poor Buddy ... did the mean man call him a mean word? Or more accurately describe his actions as "##"? (I won't repeat the c word.) Perhaps he should reflect on "sticks & stones ..."?

Wow, not a lot of love for Andrew in this thread ... 😢 I have briefed Andrew many times. He is an outstanding barrister. Y'all stop being mean about him !

I know Andrew Woods. He is a ripper bloke. Well done sir!!

Nope .... guess again

It doesn't relate to this thread, but it's hardly worth a new thread. Arguably it doesn't warrant a post at all! Had a terrible dream last night. I was watching the GF ... it was the Demons' third GF since 1964, and we were expected to win easily. We didn't ... got thrashed!! So relieved to wake up !! Can anyone guess who we were playing in that nightmare? Clue.. It wasn't the Dogs, nor the filth.

and physically small ...

Glad to hear that he uses his off time so productively.

His suspension will be set aside. Players such as him and Hawkins, Dangerfield, Lynch are protected species. Imagine if the player was Nibbler, May or just about any other player on the Melbourne list ... So annoying.

Great interview .. The SEN breakfast crew ... what shockers!! I can't believe I'm saying this, but of the 5, Kane Cornes is the 'best'.

Need further input from Stan the Statistician

I was wandering through MCC members at HT. Bumped into Gary Pert ... said "thank you so much". He nodded knowingly and put his hand out. We shook hands ... nice guy.

It was actually 17 ... like your name!!!

Carlton have a similar injury list to ours. And Weitering goes down was analagous to May going down.

In fairness, it was a good win.

Cox looks like an intellectual wearing those glasses. 😜

Dare I say it ... but it is probably better for Dees if the filth win today.

There are obviously 'turning points' in matches. I think we were a goal short of what we needed at the end of Q2. (A bit like Bulldogs in Q3 in the GF.) Can't remember who missed near the end of Q2, but a 5+ goal lead at HF would have been handy. Also misses by Fritsch (?) and Spargo at the start of Q4 snuffed out any chance of a comeback.

Thankfully the sun did come out this morning ...although hidden behind cloud, Our percentage took a fair hit. I don't think Langdon will be back for a while. He was sadly missed ... as were May, Tmac, Salem and Harmes. Hmm .... I've booked tickets to the next 3 matches .... Swans, filth & Brisbane. And to those posters who are thankful that Franklin will be playing ... as if he won't appeal and get off! We were absolutely monstered by Freo .... I haven't seen us being outmarked so regularly since the bad old days ... Excuse my rambings ... I need a coffee ... onwards and upwards ....

I hope that's not a prediction about next week's match v Swans !!!

Spot on dude ... Jones was lucky to make it to 300 games. The Club did the right thing by him ... he was pretty much cooked, and there was realistically no hope of him playing in the GF.

I didn't make a conscious choice ... it was just 'on' when I switched onto Kayo. FWIW I could remember being at that match ...

I watched a replay of the Round 1 match 2011 v Swans. (On Foxtel via Kayo.) Boy ... how many turnovers did the Demons commit in that match! (Answer ... lots). Rohan Bail/Col Garland/Grimes/Trengove/Sylvia/Nate Jones et al. Chalk and cheese compared to the 2021/2022 side. One striking feature was the virtual absence of round the neck free kicks. Why would that be? The fact that players did not drop their knees/try to milk free kicks in those days?
