I think it’s fantastic and actual justice that Trump being put through it. The guy had an extramarital affair 4 month after the birth of his youngest son, and did some ILLEGAL things to cover it up when it broke after the Hollywood sex tapes dropped on his campaign in the lead up to the 2016 Presidential election. Not trivial. Political yes, he used devious and ILLEGAL means to catch and kill true stories about him being made public to deceive the US electors. such schaudenfreud… loving it. the guy is a creep and wannabe fascist. Rumour is he’s a massive Pies fan too… 😉

I thought the Blues should have beaten the pies midfield and won comfortably given the outs of De Goey and Mitchell. Given they lost, it raises a big question for me about where they’re at? Are they too one dimensional? Can we shift our gears away from drawing them into a dour defensive arm wrestle from the outset ( which everyone is expecting) and come out aggressive and switched on in our midfield and offensive phases? Try to replicate Ali’s tactics vs Joe Frazier in the “rumble in the jungle” where Ali tried to knock ck Frasier out in the first… which failed and had him then adopt the “rope a dope” till late in the fight when Frasier punch himself out and Ali struck..

Can we use this win to kill the phrase and argument “…. but if we play like that vs Geelong they’ll kill us.” Used by several on here to pour cold water on a regulation win vs a mediocre team, ie past couple of weeks. winners are grinners Go Demons

Who called it on Harrison Petty! Go Dee’s

Beat the Cats and we’re likely in 3rd spot..! so pumped!

Harrison Petty to have a big game. Watch last week again and noted how he’s in the right spot, muffed a few shots but is really close to doing damage. Plus brings a defensive aggression to our forward line, ball to ground making space for Kozzie and the mids… looking forward to the game! Go demons!

Loving the sour Blues fans faces enduring the fing Pie chant… 😜

Blues are zoning well to prevent any Pies forward plays… be interesting if they can maintain it. Pies lack of tall forwards and punch in the middle mean Blues should beat them well… please. 😊

Harry is primed for a big game vs Cats. Disco and Roo building some magic. Add a good night from Fritta and Kozzie… 😋

Love that Richo hates the pies.

Great to see Goodwin talking about the domestic violence issue in his presser. Maybe such discussion DO have a place on a footy forum...

It was discussing a very important social issue, the surge in domestic violence toward women. Agree with Kev on the poor form censoring this sidetrack when so many others are deemed acceptable. Especially given part of the issue in this area is mainstream disinclination to engage in the issue… From ABC - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-02/vincent-hurley-domestic-violence-qanda-response/103795152?utm_campaign=abc_news_web&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web

I think the challenge with these incidents is that they probably are not happening in isolation… as in Pendlebury had probably been jabbed in a contest, pinched and scragged in pre-contest situation, had his feet stood on, etc… to the point he felt compelled to respond. should he then be suspended when all the prior incidents were missed… I’ve no idea re the Clarry incident, only that it’s not alway so clear.

With Bowser, MacAdam and Melky to be back into contention for AFL inclusion over coming weeks (months), the pressure for spots will grow and improve us.

I thought Woey was ok, with solid pressure and work rate throughout, the fact that it was Windsor subbed off instead of him, shows he’s progressing.

Agree, I hate the hypocrisy, it’s diminishing the game.

Pickett punch/slapped him in the stomach as the ran past, should be 1 week for stupid, unnecessary and ugly… but won’t be, and will be a fine because Pendleton got off earlier in season.

No change. McAdam seems to have played in 10 min bursts in the VFL, and none in the last, he’s still a couple of weeks off full AFL.

I think the theme at the moment and perhaps for the entire H & A season is developing and improving our rebound and forward half connection… tonight we had lots of “learnings” which will hopefully serve us well, and we doubled their score. All good. Bring on the freak’n Cats. Bunch of front running wannabes. Go Demons. ❤️🏆💙

A Kolt debut | Tholstrup gets the call up

A question for the Demonland brains trust, as Caleb develops does he have the tools to play in the middle, aka Butters or Rozee? or is he too slight...

I loved the gather round, and would welcome 2 more per-season, if they decide to go that way. I spent the Gather round with 10 old Mates at a beach house on the coast, hanging out, drinking, laughing, surfing and watching footy… was lots of fun.

If Jack Viney still ill today, is the Kolt a sneaky chance..? Hubris and in fear of offending the footy gods, Demons to get it done, 10 goal win, and never in doubt. ❤️🙏💙

Weagles need to languish for 2-3+ DECADES before any assistance is considered.
