Demon Dynasty

Makes sense

Does anyone know if they allow dogs in at Box Hill?

Vn get BA. I have a number of these, scanlans as well, but no signatures

Last time i got a nose bleed there was almost 30 years ago. 1981 Semi Final, Collingwood vs Fitzroy. I cannot recall why or how i got there. The G and the bar at the Hilton were basically my second home lol. Must have been a freebie. I recall seeing the players running around like ants, not feeling that connected to the atmosphere in any way even though there was a huge crowd, suffering from vertigo on occasions and not being happy with the outcome. The days when i had 20/20 vision!

Bloody awful i would think. Should we beat the old foe on Sunday it might well be our best for the season. At least in a gray matter sense anyway.

Why do we need to have the umpires mic'd up? Bloody irritating especially the one with the ridiculously deep "STAAAAND" voice. Somebody shoot me

Is it my imagination or did Maynard skin some stinky old wombat road kill and stick the pelt on his head?

They get paid for talking a whole lotta gobbledygook. BT doing the same as we post.

A rare occasion i am hoping the Pies win. One of my late dad's friends is on the way out at 99. One of few WWII vets remaining and a Pie Supporter. Survived El Alamein against Ronmel and took a bullet in Papua New Guinea. The original "Anticol Man" from the late 60s or so and also played some bit part acting roles along the way, including Blue Heelers, Prisoner, Cop Shop & Crackerjack. A very debonaire, classy chap with a happy disposition, who never showed any outward signs of the effects of his service.

Very much so. In terms of his ranking within the team since i started keeping tackles inside 50 records... 2018 - 10th 2019 - 11th 2020 - equal 2nd alongside Mitch Brown and just behind Kozzie in 1st 2021 - 1st ahead of Kozzie, then Spargs

Don't know what to make of this Mr Fence but sounds like you're on a bloody good bender. Did they win? Sounds of Crocodile Rock theme song wafting over the boggy marshes poolside?

Maybe the Saints just played a one off blinder (half). Every team is capable of it at a few times a year i guess.

What....no come back??

Saints come back...commenciiiiing NOW!

The Saints are just leaving it a bit longer than last week to start their come back so it'll be even more spectacular

One was a touch to the wrist and the other a fist glancing off the shoulder. My gosh hope our talls get it that easy on Sunday

Brown & Fritta not that dissimilar statistically... https://www.afl.com.au/stats/stats-pro#/Compare?playerIds=CD_I290622,CD_I1001438&comparisonTab=h2h

Might be more dangerous than a dose of carona LH!

Tmac is not a real lead up KF threat imo LN. On rare occasions he might get out on a leash but usually he's playing higher up the ground looking to intercept and repel anyway. As i said earlier i wouldn't expect LJ to play a significant lead up target. Plays his role well deep however. Brings the ball to ground for the smalls. I'd leave him playing that role plus the relief ruck we've seen till now. Its working a treat. Big M can do it but only when resting or occasionally pushing so it aint gonna be a long term option. Brown or Majak a must for mine. The opp also wont be as prepared for that decoy (or maybe not a decoy!?) type set up either, which may work in our favour on the day!

We still need a genuine target to lead up the middle or thereabouts to straighten us up LN. Even if its a bit of a decoy that allows the likes of Tracc, Gawn, Kozzie and Melk (who i don't see as a genuine threat) to do their work out wide, under a deep bomb or around the drop.

Tracc is handy. I don't expect or believe the last two will impact at all. Too early for LJ as a rookie but you never know. Petty in for May. Majak or Brown for Frittata

Yes i should pull my head in a little OD. Fritsch out as we speak!

He was involved in plenty including many of their chains forward, particularly off HB. Without Selwood they probably lose that by another two or three goals. While his slippy arm raise is annoying it still works after all these years and so many players still haven't learned or at least try to attack him lower at the hips. There is by-play in every match. Some teams more than others. Joel dished it...Kozzie gave some back. Kozzie may well have dished it out first after that half time goal and we just saw the retaliation from Selwood thinking he initiated it. Who knows who cares. Regardless, good competitive stuff that builds rivalries i reckon. And one is definitely building here. I for one am loving our matches against the Cats since we rolled them twice at the end of 2018 and again on Sunday. You beauty Newc!
