Demon Dynasty

Rjay I wish he was only lost. He was stolen.... how the hell does a club's top 5/10 players end up at a top 4 club already winning premierships? Buddy to Swans. Like these clubs need another leg up. Struggling not! Top 4, from previous season, should not be eligible for free agency coming In.

So we are basically doing a CS blue print but under a new coach with new players. Love the kids but not going to threaten anyone outside of the bottoms 8 or make finals with such an inexperienced list. Time to top up with some experience and big bodies who can play decent possession plus run and gun footy off HB. We have a chance to become a serious AFL club that can beat even the likes of the Hawks of we get the mix of youth/experience right in the upcoming drafts. Hope we don't blow it.

This post is upsetting. Can anyone pls tell me what nation's flag that is? ?

I'm afraid Bud was as good as one can get Maple. Maybe the choices would have been better from business class but beggars can't be choosers. My biggest concern is, how do these travel companies determine that say, Bud, is a better brew than Coopers et al when it clearly isn't. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say or in this case the "beerdrinker"

That's an extremely risky option Maple. Are you sure there won't be major collateral damage assocIated with this zany suggestion?

I agree but the choices were limited to that or soapy water (Heineken) Maple :-S

You can say that again Biff. Think he was very much in a big bubble at Paisley Park. Had a funny SOH once he allowed some to interview etc apparently. But very unusual character. Amazingly talented though. Purple Rain on the Superbowl was solid given his age. Lost nothing on the guitar. Don't know who arranged the intro/earlier part of that set though. Pretty ordinary. Not on his own with "Celebrity" weirdness though. Would be a pretty zany world i would imagine. Some of that weird brought out in this journo's visit to Paisley in 2010 here... http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/inside-princes-bizarre-life-paisley-233220

R.I.P. Prince ... another music icon passes

I don't think he was ever "not on track" PJ. Was just the frustration of wanting to be at a certain level all of the time. And then not letting his opponents see that frustration too much a la the match against the Bombers. That match was really the only "off" game so far and he had a few partners that day. The boys are on track and their improvement is showing on the scoreboard. The fact that we are currently ranked 6th in team goal averages is in no small part to his efforts and the ethos, belief, hard work ethic and leadership traits that Roos is instilling into this team. One week at a time though Demons!

The reach of your gaze is beyond my comprehension Iva. Mine goes only as far as this week for a possible 2 in a row. I admire your willingness to dream a little.

Referring to games during the season Iva (not all of them lol)... but yes that was a great effort on the day. I was at that game. Most players had a day out. Was a great finals series for us apart from the finish.

Yeh he was needing to be moe than a goal square sitter or moving around the 40 meter area. Still has a way to go in terms of knowing when to place himself higher up the ground when opponents are coming in under pressure from HB thru mid or wide (when he's sitting back there and not playing high). Doesn't read this part too well yet. WIll improve with experience and coaching here so just a matter of time and more games. Recall Brad Green doing the same in his first season or 2. Looks very comfortable and solid decision maker when up the ground so why not go there and take his opponent out of his comfort zone. Big body to have roaming around other mids also. Footsteps.

Great news. Need to leave no stone unturned with his development. A Carey lead finishing school will do wonders. It will also help towards a "lock" at the negotiation table. Some decent wins between now and then also needed though. Go boys go! Just go and dont look back!

Must have been late 70s. I recall our cheer squad being pretty big In very early 70s. Bro and me (too a lessor degree as a little tacka) were even In a small unofficial one In the 2nd tier of the southern stand. Small banners, floggers etc.

Can i have one with my profile pic on it?

I'm often rogering someone on the 2 way here... do I get an Invite?

His frustration is a combination of poor delivery at times, being restricted as he at tempts to move off the mark for the lead and not quite knowing or being capable of making separation from bigger/just as agile/stronger opponents (like Davis at this point). The Hulk/Club will hopefully address these in time. Bigger opponents ...can work on this with the assistance of an experienced forward who can show him the way to run patterns/make separation early and lead into space more often. At the moment Jesse often leads his opponent to the ball (without losing him early) hoping his ability/talent/skill at the contest will win the day. This will work some of the time at AFL level but not as much of the time as it may have at VFL/More junior levels. IMO this is where the main frustration lies and we quickly need to get the likes of Derm or Carey down their to show him the tricks of the trade in losing his opponent much earlier before leading and where to lead to/other patterns/hard work required to get the pill/u contested mark more often. A combinatin of extra strength/agility work in the gym over the next few seasons will see him take it to another level.... subject to the above happening.

Exciting debut with poise, nice finish, a little flair. Solid overhead and also lays a nice tackle! Would play him round one off the bench. Too good for anywhere else albeit he will need occasional breaks to recover from rigours of AFL. If we can get Brayshaw back on the park and Petracca debuts cleanly (touch wood), this could finally be a reasonable year for this club. Not to mention the Hulksta

Ever thought about auditioning for GOM 3 guys? .....

Would you expect anything less Red

Wot the! O.o

Lol...you see things differently to me BBO! Have you thought about taking up poetry?

.."Tho' I've belted you and flayed you, By the livin' gawd that made you, You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!". I'm not sure Red will agree with you if GWS' performance today is in anyway reflective of the first part of Rudyard's poem BBO
