Winners at last

WOW !!!

"Things are never as bad as they seem."

Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Not ideal.

I had a bad feeling about this match. Minimal consolation is collecting on my bet on Brisbane.

Also relieved that I couldn't attend the match.

Sportsbet has the Bears @ $2.82. Ridiculous odds. I put $50 on them. Hopefully I lose my money.

You have to love demonland, the only footy forum that debates punctuation.

Get in whilst we still have some.

I think AMW or Seston ready for debut. 

 

 

Yes, some of us cannot stand apo's'tophe abu's'e.

Shame the Blues won. Somewhat ironic that it was based on a 'mark' when the ball was touched, but overlooked. The opposite of that match v Demons where the ball wasn't touched (Marchbank) but was determined that it was.

I don't like the Dishlickers, but I hate Jee-long much more.

So many GWS midfielders are now playing elsewhere ... Shiel, O'Meara, Hopper, Prestia, Taranto et al.

West Coast's experienced players let them down ... Kelly, Darling, Duggan.  Not 'our' Jayden though, he was OK.

Good effort by Eagles. Sadly they will run out of steam.

Great goal by Jayden. Shame about his next 2 efforts. Will always be remembered fondly by Demons supporters, especially WalkingCivilWar who had a cougar type crush on him !!!

He's a total di#khead.

Having said that, I did notice that too. But I think Clarry's actions were quite reasonable. Getting concussed is not a great option. I think that this will become more common ... it doesn't need the media to call it out.

He loves Greg Chappell.

He would be the only one.

In his commentary, BT said Stringer was "lurking". I'm sure Stringer has done plenty of that!

I'm a little sensitive about the references to the number of days since Essendon last won a final. While I'm a fan of schadenfreude involving Essendon, I'm not sure I want to be reminded of that match. It was against the Dees.

Does anyone else think that Rozee looks like Ollie Henry from Jee-long?

I've been running the line for the last few years that Nth didn't deserve high-end priority picks but if they don't show any improvement this year, they'll need some serious help. This is a worse hole than we were in.

Priority picks that that they have to trade for players (similar to the mini-draft of GWS), increased salary cap, increased player list. They're at risk of having their young high pick midfielders not developing properly and/or leaving if they're not competitive soon.

Are you kidding?

We were so bad for so long ... lost quite a few matches by margins over 100 points. 

I switched over to The Chase.

MacDonald  continues with commitment 

He started as a backman, but his disposal was diabolical.

Moved to the forward line where he just had to kick at goal! His disposal has improved 100%. 

He has got slower, so getting the ball and turning towards goal is no longer feasible. Much better defending/attacking the ball without have to turn. Good on him!!

Re BT. Total fool. "Wowee" and "no trouble at all" seem to be his favourites.

Re King. He flip flops so much. Someone referred to his "inane overanalysis". That description was spot on! 

The one commentator who loves the Dees is Montagna.

My brother and I both live in Adelaide and went last night to support our beloved Dees, and their supporters were worse than ever. Fans around us all squealing for free kicks even when we pointed out how lopsided the free kick count was, booing players for no reason, and basically saying how bad their own team was and then aggressively abusing our players. They are a disgrace. Worst in the league. 

We kept offering tissues every time they booed Rick Lever, and bronx cheered all of the 9 times we got a free! Stuff em. Hope they go zero and 10, sack the coach and head to the bottom of the ladder for the next decade. 

Filth fans say hi !!

I'll be watching this match at the Terminus Hotel in North Fitzroy. Anyone else going there?

Compelling argument by Johnson.

Not.

He doesn't like the Dees.

Perhaps it's more a case of wishful thinking?

Chol seems to like playing from behind. Either by trying to take hangers, or hanging back getting 'cheapies' out the back rather than taking front position in marking contests.

He gets a disproportionate number of 'snap' (or rover type) goals for such a big guy. 

Perhaps that's why he's been moved on from 2 previous clubs.  🤔

Poor Marty. Can't seem to take a trick.

#funfact .... He went to the same secondary school as Hawthorn's wizard.
