Demon Dynasty

If we happen to make a GF 2000 is a long time between drinks OD. I'm not sure i would see another one if we had to wait that long again. And we know how hard they are to get into. If i we don't have to go in to quarantine i'd happily travel. I get you're position on this also which is fair. Everyone is different but i for one wouldn't pass up the chance to to see Clarry, Big M, Lingers, Tracc, Kozzie, Piggy, Dogga, Viney (?), Maysey and Lever etc in the big dance live!

Hope you asked BBO (and his new maid!) for permission before you sketched this JCB

SU i assume you mean anyone up to the age of 50

You can say that again Jack. Officially 1% time on ground! Crazy stuff. Did we do this just to meet the concussion requirements i wonder or was this just how it panned out on the night?

Thankfully the HB experiment would appear to be a thing of the past. I was calling for the above all of last year. Fish out of water rear of centre in a mostly 'defender' role. He's like Seabiscuit (at least the Hollywood version). When the opponent pulls up alongside and they go eyeball to eyeball... it sets him on ballistic mode!

This was in hotel quarantine or self quarantine WCW?

And risk losing the original link to another Vic club? Ownership is 9/10ths of the law and if they get a big enough turn out they might claim the rights to it and ask for it again the following year. Might even go for another match against a bigger supported Vic club! Gil won't say no if there's the potential for a few more $$ in it at the gate. Never give a sucker an even break...especially Essendrug!

Wouldn't be surprised if Victorian AFL clubs/players in a hub are treated differently to other Victorians.

What a Horrowitz this thread has become. I'm just Abbado-ver it!

Same. There is nothing in any of that that vision to definitively sat he touched the ball. Just the usual media drivel on the Demons Loges. Anything to come with a contrary view to the bleeding obvious. Let them hate away while we keep sticking right up em.

The conspiracy theory argument is your concoction DS. I'm just saying the hate/loathing is there and there's alot if it about. That it manifests in various forms, including bias by some umpires, commentators (eg BT) etc along the way No one other than yourself is claiming it's a conspiracy where everyone is in on the act. Example of your OOT accusation...I did not say the whole of Chanel 9... i referred to one football show.

As one example EO ... Lingers is No. 1 in the AFL for sprint averages. As for goal kicking my understanding is he is our most accurate set shot at the moment. Or was the last time i looked. Not too shabby.

The last one wasn't a stuff up...the umpire in question admitted the free kick was there and he decided not to pay it.

Just one example EO. That's not apathy that's a deliberate decision by the producers/those running the show.

You are both watching different games to me then fellas. There's alot of hate out there for the Demons and it ripples through the AFL community like a cancer. If you want to hide under a blanket that's your choice. Last week's two non-decisions toward the end effectively cost us the match. But let's pretend it never happened. All will be well if we just close our eyes and pray!

So if you watched the Sunday Footy Show there was a 2 minute snippet of how the Demons go from attack to defence so well which confused and mucked the Doggies on Friday night. Every other match was covered with a full review & highlights package, including votes , except ours. This included extensive coverage of what was, apparently, the greatest win in recent history by Essendrug over the Eagles with player interview and similar coverage of the Cats win over the Pies with Issac Smith interviewed. Apparently our win/top of the table block buster match was an aberration that only warranted a 2 minute analysis from Browny at the start.

Courtesy of Stephen Anderson off FB... the bias against the Demons continues. Razor or no Razor. T-Mac shirt fronted no eyes for the ball no free... https://www.facebook.com/groups/MFC.forum/permalink/4722910574402673/ Then May ... inflicts a perfect spoil. Zero chopping zero holding and be unlucky to get called in basketball but wait... somehow it was "Arm interference". There is vision of this if you scroll down in the comments section of the linked video above

I see Lockhart as more of a HBer 58 but you could be right.

IMHO there is no like for like replacement for Lingers. Of course he is elite at what he does so no surprise here. The closest we might have at present that can fill the hole for a week? Probably Baker. He was in the best for Casey's last match against the Swans apparently so may be on the cusp for the call up vs other options.

Baker was in the best players against the Swans apparently. I reckon he'll be high up on the list to replace +lingers

I seriously watched this game through beer goggles Buck so i have no idea what happened re Ed. Any possibility the Doggies put a run with on him to pressure him off his usual game? Would need to watch the game again. Maybe he just had an offy. Hope he recovers quick. He's a bloody jet and one of my all time favs now. Love the way he goes about it. Not too many in the game run harder than Mr Ed.

Too funny... the other come back.... "I'd gladly bugger off to a bayside mansion but they're mostly owned by current and ex AFL players nowadays!" His bayside wasn't Frankston by any chance ?
