  1. When did they get tested? Why is going on holidays so stressful now? Bloody moronic premiers.
  2. I’m going for a week of holidays. I don’t want to quarantine
  3. I’m flying to QLD (hopefully) on Thursday. [censored] premier wants me tested because the hell with loading an already overloaded system that should be freed up for those who are symptomatic or close contacts… how long has everyone waited for results if they got a test done after attending the B&F? I worry that 72 hours won’t be enough to test, get results and then apply and receive the border pass.
  4. All Demonlanders already got the best gift this year. Literally nothing under the tree tomorrow will be as good as winning a flag. It’s all downhill from here guys. Merry Christmas.
  5. I just hope Neale is safe
  6. Needs to kick 7 in next year’s premiership to secure a top 10 spot. Don’t be stupid. Congratulations to all the winners, and especially by to Clarry. Our unicorn in red and blue.
  7. Adelaide has a lot of cultural problems. Just look at their [censored] ex-captain.
  8. Agreed. Harmes is a good honest player in a very very good side. Treloar has plenty on him, especially when it comes to ball use. I wouldn't be surprised if Harmes finds himself struggling to make the 22, if Sparrow continues to develop as I suspect, along with JJ. I went to an event a couple of weeks back and Gawn was one of the guest speakers (along with Jonesy).
  9. According to Gawn at half time in the prelims Hawkins came up to him and said “you guys will choke”. After Gawn kicked his 5th he told Hawkins that it looks like they’re about to choke for the 11th time in a prelim. Nothing will compare to winning a flag, but smashing Geelong in a prelim is just about the greatest feeling one can experience in football.
  10. I’ll have 6 of these thanks 😂 I am always happy to help with design idea if you want by the way.
  11. McCrae is a ball magnet. He just doesn’t have the acceleration of Clarry which is why he isn’t as good. Oliver can gain 5m on his opponent in a flash, which is why he is so damaging and so hard to stop. McCrae is a very very good player and I would love him in our side. But Oliver is a once in a generation freak of nature.
  12. The Dogs list is deep with talent but it’s not balanced. They have a lot of very good ball winners in the middle but they have a poor backline, no good ruck and their forwardline is suspect without Bruce taking away a tall. The issue with the Dogs midfield is they are us in 2018. Bees to the honeypot. Too many players doing the same thing. It’s why we were able to get so many center clearance goals in the granny. Nobody defended. They all tried winning the stoppage.
  13. Go find a Victoria club that would agree to play us up there with no cash reward. For an interstate club it’s neither here nor there and means they don’t have to play us at home. We sell this game for money not because it’s any sort of help when it comes to winning games.
  14. They drink pickle juice on the bench... helps with cramping apparently.
  15. I think it's safe to say that leading into finals next year, all teams in contention will be advised to go into some form of self isolation. You'd hate to miss a final because you went to buy pickles and got Covid.
  16. To have not only a successful club on field, but a financially, culturally and structurally stable one off the field, is something I don't think any of us could have dreamt of less than a decade ago. What a time to be alive!
  17. On the other hand we played much better against top teams last year than against the bottom teams.
  18. And we play very very well at Marvel. It holds no fears.
  19. The thing that annoys me most about playing Geelong down in that shizen hole, is that attending the game is basically as impossible as attending an interstate game. Tickets are so limited and to get down there is not fun, particularly if it's a Friday night game. Good luck getting there on time if you're coming from Melbourne.
  20. It definitely doesn't feel like we are the premiers when you look at some of the timeslots and locations we've been given. I don't think the AFL will ever see us as a big club no matter what we do.
  21. Who do you have to [censored] to get a home game against West Coast and to stop getting games in Geelong? Unbelievable
  22. Have always wanted to go to NT and combine the trip with this game. The cost of going up there tho is just mind blowing. Can’t be justified after two hard years of lockdowns.
  23. The Twitter nuffies having a field day with Lever collapsing due to the Covid vaccine. My god we live amongst some truly stupid people.
  24. Also a much much harder sport to succeed in at the highest level. It's a risky move to pick basketball over AFL in Australia unless you are an absolute A+ talent with a future in the NBA.
  25. The money must also help... how many players retire and go straight into another job paying 6 figures? There must be a level of motivation associated with going around again if you know you're going to be bringing in a healthy salary for your family for another year. Of course you must be a damn good player to begin with and as you say a lot of luck with physical conditioning is required.
