Demon Dynasty

Big no to Jake "zero tackles" Snake for mine. Today's forward game revolves so much around pressure and we can't afford to bring someone in who brings the complete opposite and allows the opp to waltz out of the back line under little or no pressure. Hopefully Dazzle's sauce is a bit off on this one as it would send a terrible message through the entire team. About the only change for this week for mine, which probably won't happen anyway, is Hibb for Jetta.

Number 76....any relation to this ex Demon? https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdemonwiki.org%2Fimage3062&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fdemonwiki.org%2FBrad%2BSparks&tbnid=VASWhCorOD3RlM&vet=12ahUKEwi-zIv6nvHvAhX3k0sFHXohBesQMygAegQIARA2..i&docid=58rxEOEhbvOYCM&w=187&h=266&q=Brad Sparks Melbourne&client=firefox-b-d&ved=2ahUKEwi-zIv6nvHvAhX3k0sFHXohBesQMygAegQIARA2

I can't recall the last time i saw a player named as Rover Werridee, but it was a bloody long time ago now

May the best Key Forward win! TMac would want to be kicking some goals in the next few weeks...

You mean there's another secondary competition starting soon?

Wasn't me Watts. I observed many bands back in the day from the bleaches, some good, some great, some bog ordinary and usually i was not fully aware of my surrounds but that's about it.

So you're a gambling man DD!?

Can't decide who helped get Port over the line more....Broad or the Umps. Actually probably Broad

In my defence i was only 6 yo at the time Mr Old. My body grew but the brain, not so much it would seem!

Noice PF. When is the next training sesh anyone know yet?

I'm certainly not sticking my hand up for that experiment SW

Talking about dodgy ads lol. Why would any finance co. want to add that voice into the mix ?

Im wondering if that's some sort of veiled oxymoron LDC

Yes i recall now. I've wondered that myself but the old adage "never judge a book by its cover" also applies to voice "appearance" i reckon SW. He certainly sounds like he's a little off center from a business advice POV though i agree. However, you have to be careful. One of the smartest humans in a business sense i've had the privilege of working with you would never think of as such if you simply judged by speech and grasp of English (Aussie version of English!). But there you have it. This view could also be skewed by the fact that i'm not that clever myself though! ?

Roo as in Nick Reiwoldt

If you are referring to Roo SW i would have to agree. I'd be very selective with his recommendations!

I reckon that started as soon as Hutchy took over DZ. KB was easily the best at what he did in the morning time slot. For a new owner/manager to not respect / recognise that on taking over and, instead dishing him for a new fella in GW straight up, smacks of someone who just isn't tuned in with the listeners. He also went for an 'on AFL message' presenter vs KB, who often questioned the entire direction the AFL hierachy were taking footy, which makes me wonder if Hutchy was/is in bed with the AFL to some degeee (close connections pulling the strings?) or just a big brown noser.

Very good point. Seems like his decision making is on as well.

Yes he is pretty neutral but mostly just a wrap of weekend sport results. Those bloody Imar ads are annoying though...the tradies mates...massive turn off ? They would need the insurance though....some of the most out of control agro dangerous drivers i've ever encountered in 35 years of driving. Possibly the gym & roid combo!?? ?

Similar ..."on the couch" is not too bad although i find Gazza can be good and bloody awful all in the one show. Him and Roo seem to always be in disagreement as well lol. What happened to the couch though!?? The game day analysis on the Couch is probably the best of the lot although Lloydy and Browny on the Sunday show also do a pretty good job of highlighting aspects of what went right/wrong on the day and methods of attacking/defending etc. Front bar is purrty good most of the time especially if they land a big fish like Carl or Jakovich etc. Sam Pang is a classic and so quick that half his jokes go over most ppls heads. He also sometimes asks "elephant in the room" questions of AFL officiados that the average fan is wondering/wanting to ask on occasions that most would never dare and is able to get away with it.

A thing of beauty Mono. Would have the opp defenders & their coaches pretty bloody nervous i would think.

No doubt posted plenty of times elsewhere on these boards but it's been quite a while since i was so excited about a goal by a red & blue player, even though he's already kicked a number of beauties! Play it again Mozzie!...

And/or keep hitting up / finding Spargo & Nibbler who might not be getting as much attention (assuming Nib isn't playing a run with role).

I agree Deever....shut the door and leave it to the media team. We've done way too much talking over the years. With such a good start it's easy to get ahead of things. Have fun sure and enjoy your footy as a player but take as little notice of the external noise as possible. No distractions....soldier on. Next target is a hairy old [censored] cat.

This week will give us a much better indication Dr. Very happy with the start but still room for improvement in terms of protecting the corridor on the counter and finding a KF target who is also a reliable multiple goal kicker. I agree we have to be careful not to get too carried away as well, however in general things are looking as good as they've been since 2018 from where i'm sitting. But look how that ended. We need to keep building and improving to ensure this is a lasting dynasty and not a flash-in-the-pan anomaly. With a bit of luck hopefully this includes going one step further than 2018.
