  1. Yes, but lightning doesn't strike twice ...
  2. I suspect no changes. In terms of defensive matchups, I think it will start with Petty on Daniher/May on McStay/Smith on Cameron/Rivers on McCarthy/Lever on ## [don't know their other forwards].
  3. I'm with "the more the merrier" crew. When kids are at the age of deciding which team to support, they are influenced by a number of factors. Family, friends, attractiveness of jumper, the success of the team/s, brand of football played, likeability of players, not wanting to the only Demons supporter in the class. How many new supporters would the Demons have attracted between 2011 - 2017 ? If the team can achieve sustained success, it will lead to more kids coming onboard. Bandwagon supporters are fine, and assist in creating a snowballing effect. Which will obviously help the club in the long term.
  4. Perhaps this describes the dark days ? The singer/guitarist/songwriter is a Demons supporter.
  5. I bumped into him at the G years ago. Charming gent.
  6. Hey SWYL, stop pinching my material! I posted this link about 10 hours ago!! On the subject of Viney, yes he played well, and yes he kicked a nice goal. But he missed a sitter at the start of the match ... set shot from 20 metres out. He is definitely best 22. Not convinced about Harmes. He ducked his head and dropped a marked I50 in the last qtr. Not a good look. Sparrow was OK. He'll keep his place. I wonder what the medical sub (Jordon) thought after the match. He didn't get a run. Mixed feelings during celebrations?
  7. Shame that Lingers' form dropped off after he was concussed. Would have been in the squad otherwise, and a chance for the final 22.
  8. https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/geelongs-joel-selwood-under-fire-for-blatant-throw-in-loss-to-melbourne-c-3748015 Never understand why the media doesn't call out Selwood. (Well, other than the The West - see link.) He's a genuine s@#t bloke.
  9. King was 'gushing' about Scott's coaching. Montagna focused on Melbourne. He really rates us. King has in the past been very bullish about the Demons. Now seems to prefer the puddytatts though. [censored].
  10. The canned laughter should have been played when Cameron and Henderson collided ...either that or the Benny Hill music.
  11. We would have lost. The 'crowd noise affirmation' would have made the umpiring more biased and would have got the Puddytats over the line.
  12. McCluggage ... he freakin ducked !!!!
  13. West Coast choking big time. Brisbane will take 4th spot easily.
  14. Yep .... thinking the same ... that match was W.Coast v Adelaide. Adelaide were a much better side (finished top of ladder?), but I think they rested players for that match. I think Bulldogs will miss out on 4th in the same way that we missed out on 8th that year. Can't rely on other teams!!!
  15. I think Brisbane are a better side than the Dogs. Despite having won fewer matches.
  16. Just saw the scores in the WC/Brisbane match. It will be carnage.
  17. Port have absolute A graders (A+ even) in Gray, Boak and Wines. Dragged Port over the line. Bulldogs stars Libba, Bont, Naughton et al didn't really fire. Macrae had so many possessions but wasn't really influential. Bulldogs supporters getting stuck into Beveridge ... It was stupid not playing Sweet. Port rucks had a field day (or night). And my God, do they get stuck into Smith !!! Deserved really ... great start to his career but he's really dropped off. Seems like he's really full of himself.
  18. How ironic that a free kick for a throw is paid against the Dogs in the last minute ...
  19. Port in front ... Dogs choking big time.
  20. Apparently bad kicking is bad football ... 🤔
