Demon Dynasty

What a nightmare tonight was from so many aspects. Somebody shoot me. Tracc started up forward in the last quarter with small % of time in the middle bounces. Unfortunately with little to no effect. Possibly due to being hampered but he has a fair chunk of work ahead if he's to have a regular impact when playing there. Still tends to panic his kicks a little too often. Petty shouldve been trialled forward for a decent block of games, ideally against Norf & the Eagles as a minimum, way before finals. Team needs to be 99% settled weeks out. Throwing Petty forward AFTER the game looks to be lost in the last 5 mins of a semi-final smacks of too little too late and a lack of foresight/planning/vision. As great as 2021 was for the coach, players and the club... we really messed up a very good chance of at least making a PF this season. Big fail for mine.

LJ just kick that out son. Rivers ughhh.... He must have a saw calf.... SUB HIM OUT FOR SMITH!!

Really ordinary checking there from Rivers

Petty great on the tackle.. but took his eyes off the ball there and allowed Hipwood to run onto it easily

Lever's all good

Yup looks like it. Smith down back then?

Put Harmes on Zorko for the first 10 mins or so....appeared to be their main play maker that quarter. Is Gus still on Neale? Fritta needs to stay with Andrews on the transition. Giving him too much room IMV.

Lever walked off ok into the race yeh? He appeared to trip on a blade of grass coming in to stand the mark there and tweaked an ankle?

Just had the worst Malaysian ever and parking at Bridge Rd now. Hope i don't get food poisoning and get to see the boys pump some Lion [censored]

Nice choices...stay classy Uncle. On second thoughts just go nutz!

Blooody bewdy Kent... give em hell mate

So pretty much the same $$ (or less) spent on GMHBA by state Govts of late? Shouldn't be too much to ask then.

What about the Old Scotsch Football Club / Camberwell Sportsground in Camberwell?

I seem to recall the Junction oval was brought up ages ago and killed off yes?

Not a monarchist but had alot of time for the Queen. All class and never wavered. 70 years at the top is some effort. First anthem i learned in Preps was God Save the Queen (no not the Sex Pistols version!).... just before my 2nd 'It's a Grand Old Flag'. The one and only time i actually got to see her was in a drive by as she arrived at the Braemar Gathering as the final event of the Grampian Highland Games in Scotland, 1974. Also handing out the cups & shields at the end. If you've never been and want to see strong hairy men toss cabers (wooden poles!), put stones and throw hammers in their colourful kilts and sporrans. Along with highland dancing and some of the best pipe bands you'll ever hear, i'd highly recommend it as a once in a lifer day out/experience. Beautiful country side and surrounds also. May she rest in peace.

The teams thread is certainly on a holy bender this evening. Reckon i might have to rattle off three hail Marys after reading that. Thanks Rev

I would add Gus, Kozzy, Viney, Spargo, LJ & Max (to a lessor degrree) to that list

DC after reading this potentially unauthorised insight of the great Uncle Bitters i am starting to have suspicions that you and the maid just might be one and the same!

He was doing the same last Thurs Kev. Hopefully he can butter up but there's no g'tees in footy especially finals which tend to go next level in pressure, speed on the ball and whatever

564 posts on the changes thread ... probably all gone to pot! (i didn't post on there i swear)

True they do tend to ignore old Sparkles

I would be flummoxed if there's a Lander that doesn't think Uncle is loverly WCW. Although you being with him might explain all that BFFL nonsense with the boys as i'm betting there was probably some wiffy clarety coloured substance in your thermoses (note plural). Certainly nothing like the bogus labels plastered on the front of 'em which read "Uncle's Loverly Hot Chocolate" & "WCW's Deviled Coffee"

Ah yes that makes sense. Bedford? Who goes out though?

Yes just some 'If wishes were horses' nonsense from me Andy. Expecting T-Mac & JVR to go around again at Casey. Not expecting much to happen on the changes front either although Bedford & Smith sounds interesting. Hopefully that doesn't mean Fritta is out.

Goal kicking practice with Choco!?? (indoors!!)
