Jaded No More

Well if the parent of the kid happens to read Demonland I hope they contact the DA or the club and tell them what happened. I’m sure both would be happy to organize another signed ball for the kid.

Two weeks ago Lever is in the wrong for flopping his head and Cameron gets off because he’s a good bloke. Higgins does the same thing, Aliir unfortunately is knocked out and he cops 3. Madness. Both actions deserve one week.

100% this

Dusty is great. He’s a really nice guy by all reports. That’s why I was shocked when I thought he told Fritta to F off. So out of character, considering he was chatting to May in the last quarter about playing golf 😂

We may well win another flag with this group, but nothing will ever top 2021 in terms of absolutely perfect football. It was pure magic.

It actually does and I figured out it’s because I have a contact in my phone that’s a McAdams with an S. It autocorrects it every time by adding that damn S 😡

I really hope that’s what he said because I love Dusty and I reckon that comment is 100% spot on 😂

Shame as he’s had a great season so far. But it’s better to have a niggle now than in September. Wonder if they’ll bring McAdams in for him. I know they aren’t like for like, and I have no idea what McAdams’ defensive play is like, but could be an opportunity.

I just think it’s weird that Dusty would have beef with Fritta. I doubt those two have ever played on one another 😂

@WalkingCivilWar did you ask Fritta what Dusty said to him post game? Looks like he told him to f off which I can only assume is due to jealousy over his glorious hair 🤷‍♀️

Geelong’s refusal to die is absolutely infuriating. I also despise Carlton tho, so this is a neutral result.

Acres is insufferable

Umpires doing the most for Carlton right now

Geelong move the ball with so much precision and they use it better. That’s been the difference. Certainly need to be at our best skills wise next week to win.

Have had for the last 20 years. Their fixture alone will get them into finals pretty much every year

No chance Danger plays next week if he’s got even a slight hamstring awareness. With his history and at his age, they won’t risk it.

It’s about our society accepting these types of clearly violent behaviors. The reality is that footy players are looked up to and idolized by many people, especially young men. When we laugh off and not punish pure thuggery and are accepting of it, we are signaling that this type of behavior is also acceptable off the field. Our society is not nearly hard enough on violence, especially towards women. This notion that boys will be boys, is so wildly accepted in the AFL, and unfortunately in the wider society too. We [censored] on about the illicit drug problems in the AFL, but are totally fine to let players gut punch each other off the ball… because that’s not at all sending the wrong message!

The fact that the AFL lets this type of stuff go, and commentators laugh off this type of behaviour, is not lost on me as I watch yet another woman be killed at the hands of a man. We do not do enough to eradicate this type of [censored] “boys will be boys” behavior in footy, and it’s very much reflected in our society too. Punching someone in the guts off the ball should never be allowed. It does nothing for our game and it’s the easiest non football action to judge and punish players for. The Pendelbury defense of “I was provoked” is up there with the “she was asking for it” defense. Putrid.

Logging in from China to say suck [censored] to both Pies and Bombers

A reminder that we’ve looked a million bucks early in 2022 and 2023 and it amounted to absolutely nothing in the end. This is a long season and banking wins now is more important than being the best side in it.

His parole officer says no 😂

I watched the first half after working some VPN magic then had to board a flight. I could tell we were a smidge off with execution but I was so sure we would open the game up in the second half and win. Imaging landing and seeing that’s exactly what happened, getting a text from my dad to say nobody was injured, and then coming to Demonland to see the wrist slashing. Worst game we’ve ever played? Surely anyone who says that has only lived max 4 years. I am looking forward to watching the second half of the worst game ever.

I once dated a North supporter, and had an [censored] of a boss who was also one, so can confirm at least two exist.

The only team that’s more St Kilda than St Kilda is Fremantle
