Demon Dynasty

Cunning plan confirmed thx DeeOld!

Who else thinks the "Viney is ill" rumour is all part of a cunning plan to shake the tag!

Imagine getting between a yummy Kranksy and a ravenous Franky. While I'm probably not as Cranky as Franky, i'm also in the too early for May camp. Big match against the Lions looming next week. I'd save Maysie for that and allow him the extra week to shake any soreness off. We can play Petty back and bring Tommo in to cover the defence this week.

As long as Jack et al don't have the squirts! 🚽🧻

HT we don't wanna know about your boot fetishes ty

Mine was cured in 2021 DG. However, some of those suffering MFCSS were apparently more severe and may need a second jab! 🌡💉

I actually think we've learned alot from last season LD. We certainly won't be going in taking them lightly that's for sure. The recovery factors are there though. I'm also looking to go next year but hopefully the AFL aren't looking to crucify us for the Tax Payer Park snub and have us playing the two home teams off a 5 day break again! Chris Scott said something decent on that this morning....why are the teams hosting Gather round both getting an extra home game? Just have them play each other in this round. Seems to make sense, except at HQ.

Whatever Chardy you're on LD, i highly recommend changimg it!

Problem solved Dub. Facon!! P.S. My lil storm cloud tried Facon & reckons it's great & she super fussy! 🤔

He mentioned "most likely via Casey' at training last week

One of the quieter Big Footy pre match threads!! General feel over there is they will probably lose or lose by a lot. Some fully resigned, looking to drink as many Chardys as possible to ease the pain. A few trying to keep the faith believing they have a history of playing well against us & just might crack a win. With some of those then slapping themselves immediately after and doing a complete 180 to then predict a loss!? Overall i get the impression this is a pretty diff type of supporter base (no doubt they have exceptions) to last week's darling buds. Expectations generally low. Here's the opening line from the OP's (George Kramer otherwise known as GK) pre-match thread - ... Ok, you doom and gloomers, I have some good news, the Crows will do the unthinkable and win (continues positive rant blah blah blah) LMAO this is not the GK i know. Dees by 50 They just came in, beat port on their home deck and are hanging around here for the week so will be settled for Thursday night, have May back and are in miles better form. Hoping I am wrong but this could be a real thumping and suck whats left of the life out of our season There is a distinct possibility I might have the most beers I’ve ever had a game this Thursday night. I have a hotel in the city so I will be getting blind drunk to help with the pain of another loss or a wild party at the casino to celebrate an unlikely victory. Either way I'm gonna enjoy myself as much as I can. Reality is we are a s**t team and now our expectations for this season are in the gutter the losses won't hurt as much Going to be a very interesting first quarter. Nicks is predictable in his changes and I can almost guarantee we swap to an ultra attacking mindset this week where we go through the corridor every single time. It will be a take the game on gameplan from Nicks. A right royal smacking coming up Keep losing so the blow torch stays under the stubborn and clueless coaching panel A humiliating loss and I can see a lot of the locals not giving a stuff. Good thing we should have more interstate visitors this year, but can't help but think us getting smacked first up will take some of the shine off Gather Round as an Adelaide event. This is exactly the kind of game we'd show up for last year. Not confident though. 10+ goal loss for mine.

Awesome thanks WC

Bloody beaut deal. However, i've put on about 2 kgs in 3 weeks! Could end badly at this rate...

Big Maxy - AFL Daily's MVP for Rnd 3... (@ 17:45 in) https://omny.fm/shows/afl-daily/tom-lynch-headlines-the-tigers-growing-injury-list

Love the fact it's Neita's and the set up looks great. Was gonna go on Saturday night but for the life of me i couldn't find a menu anywhere on their site!? Maybe i just didn't look hard enough.

Heading to Bowral NSW tomorrow for a wedding. Would anyone know any pubs / venues that broadcast AFL for Thurs night by any chance?

1 v 1 near the goals or no one else in the vicinity vs 1 or more up the ground✅️ His job nearer the goals in a pack situation should be to stay down and crumb / goal or give it off for a goal, not fly from behind with the big boys. Simple stuff that won't curb his flare one iota.

I reckon Tommo is a chance if Marty is out. Otherwise why would they take him over?

He actually put a big bump on someone at one point but came off second best

Sounds like it might be Tommo time.

After listening to a number of players speak about how they prep for short turnarounds vs standard weeks over the years, i suspect this week will be mostly about recovery, skills/touch, a bit of gym and ye olde strategy / match ups. Certainly very little stuff, if any, that resembles the usual match sim or scrimmage / tackle type work. Some very tapered tailored running / training loads (for some) A significantly lighter week all round., especially for the more senior guys. And also a focus on freshening the mind by not keeping the boys on the track for long and instead letting them do other freshener upper recreational activities that still keeps them exercising like a golf day / swimming or similar non-footy track stuff. Obviously 5 days is a very short turnaround. For me a win by any margin will be a super result, especially after the effort given on Sat night.

Am i reading the tea leaves correctly? If the Kolt gets a gig this week, he has effectively leap frogged Sestan, Laurie & Moniz in a matter of one pre-season and a few games (Rnd 1 & 2 plus Praccys) at Casey.

May's a chance according to Goody. Chin probably misses... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1520066/media-conference-focuses-may-closing-in

Apparently zombies aren't into eating opposition supporters if they're suffering from any kind of viral illness like the flu, covid, chicken pox etc as they know it's not good for their health. Get well soon lone Demon!

Thx WC. That banner was outstanding for Vins and the noise / chants made by the D.A. & others in attendance was superb. Congrats to all there and hope you're enjoying your stay over there. Found a decent coffee yet?
