yeah reckon i’ll head to the globe. 

Come over & say hi. I'm a decrepit old man (bald) and will be wearing an over the top aqua/white short sleeved shirt*. I'll also have a Demons MFC/MCC 2024 scarf.

Where is everyone going to watch the match? I think i'll head to the Sporting Globe in Richmond.

Days of old where revenge would have been swift, on dog acts on the footy field, have long past for the better of our game. I would hate to watch any of our boys try too physically seek revenge on that f…ker, a waste of energy and it means their not concentrating on what our team does best, play good footy. I’d like to see no acknowledgement of that f…ker at all from our boys, no hand shake and only a cold stare into him, and of course within the rules of play make him feel the anger we Demons have of his dog act on Gus. ANYBODY who’s played footy knows that hit WAS with intent. Geez I hate that team.

Did any of the Demons' players shake the hand of that POS after the final? 

Swans still favourites on Sportsbet.

I wish I could shake off MFCSS.

He can’t weigh much more than 80kg. He needs to be 92kg+ imo to have confidence in his body. He could become a very effective utility, rather than just a flanker.

I've been called a dead set flanker even though I'm not a footballer.

I'm a bit hard of hearing, but I'm pretty sure that's what the other person was saying.

In 1961 RDB was suspended for 4 weeks in the last round for missing a yellow and black coward (by a foot) who threw his head back and collapsed to the ground 2 metres from where I was sitting. Cost us a flag

Roger Dean?

Down under- Men at Work

Boys light up- Australian Crawl

It’s a long way to the top- ACDC

Pub with no beer- Slim Dusty

 

Sorry, age shows!

Golden Miles/Healing Force

I won't miss Greg Champion's slightly flat singing.

Port v Freo.

Freo are deplorable.

Let's just take the 4 points and move on !!   🤪

Matildas 3 - 0 v Uzbekastan after 8 minutes.

In case anyone was wondering.

Carlton in trouble without Weitering. Shows the importance of a key defender.

Marty Hore can play tall. Not sure why he isn't mentioned in dispatches ....

Imagine the outcry if Stephen May had cleaned up Josh Daicos in the same manner !!

No worries, Maynard will bring some flowers around again, and all will be ok.

And a bottle of red wine.

Definitely agree!! You’ll need to track down a copy of Out of the Blue; it’s a brilliant album.  Unfortunately I don’t have the room for a full vinyl friendly set up, so I went the other way and recently purchased a JBL sound bar to replace my bulky space consuming home theatre set up. It has detachable speakers that can be placed to act as rear surround speakers. Seeing as how I’d invested in this technology, I decided to subscribe to the Apple Music streaming service and now seamlessly stream from my iPhone via bluetooth; it’s been a godsend since I’ve been mostly confined to my home. I’ve been tracking down a lot of Oz music from that early 70’s, era and hearing it in a whole new light. Tully, Company Caine, Spectrum and the Indelible Murtceps, La De Das, Coloured Balls, Ariel, Chain, Wendy Saddington and on and on the list goes.

And while I think of it, I’m assuming that you do know that Rob Mackenzie is a member of Demonland.

He’s living in LA now, but when he was in town visiting, myself, my son Liam and Rob, would meet up with another Dees fanatic in David Bland who would be familiar to those of us old enough to remember the miming show Kommotion… fantastic times and I’m still in contact with Rob now and then. I’m hoping if he makes a return visit and that my health also makes a return visit, the four of us will be able to do it all again. 

I love late 60s/early 70s Oz music ... Seasons of Change, Golden Miles, I'll be Gone, Lotus One, The Freak/Hey Pinky (Zoot) ... need I go on? 

Hmm, he should stop walking under ladders, allowing black cats to cross his path, killing ladybugs, running over Chinamen and failing to respond to chain letters.

I suspect if he modifies his behaviour accordingly he may have better luck.

You mean the side that we belted up there in the last round last year with a makeshift forward line?

Grundy won't make that much difference and their captain Mills is out.

There's reasons to be positive.

I was at that match. We didn't 'belt' them.

I don't think we can rely on Fritsch to kick 5 goals every match!!

I'm not sure that we can keep playing both Langers & Hunter on the wings. Gus is a great winger (and HB, and midfielder!!) so we mightn't be able to play him on a wing. One of the young fellas might well get a crack on a wing ... 

I'm very worried about Petty. Those foot injuries are diabolical. 

JVR is really good. Very confident about his continued progression.

Clarry ... hmm. Who knows?

Sparrow ... needs to go to the next level. Hopefully he does. And Chandler.

And Kozzy needs to improve his consistency. I'm a real advocate of giving him short bursts on the ball to get him into the game.

TMac & BBB are cooked. Sadly. 

I worry about Max. He's not getting any younger, and is repeatedly assaulted.

Maysie ... great player, but on the wrong side of 30. Hopefully his inevitable slide is very gradual.

Not sure it's exactly on topic, but I really hate the filth. As for Maynard ....

*I thought it was Clark not Aaron or Paul

I stand corrected !!

Jamie Charman and Beau McDonald also say hi!! Premiership ruckmen for Brisbane, not exactly household names!! 

Having an A+ ruckman is an obvious asset.

But, as has been said many times before, the Toiges won 3 flags with Nankervis as their ruckman. And for those with long memories, so did Brisbane years ago with Keating*. And another flag with another ruckman whose name I can't remember!

*Aaron, not Paul.
