Demon Dynasty

I believe it takes a week to become effective from last Sat night. Almost there!

I'm more worried about WCW... coming off a 3 day (home & back again) break & no doubt way too many coffees on the road!

A few extra crumbs from the West Lakes charcuterie post the Caps run yesterday and Viney getting a dose of the squirts... Watch him still come out and probably be BOG Nah that will be saved for Petracca, Oliver, May, Gawn, Lever or Fritsch And a rookie on the wing If as a collective our playing group could make better decisions we probably would be 2-1. Unfortunately they all share the same brain cell Viney is a gun and if he's off his game all the better for us. Better still if he pulls out. I don't wish him ill, ...but yeah I do. Won't make a difference. Whoever they replace him with will still be better than our best mid Yeah, and you're saying that a 5th string mid for Melbourne is better than a guy that was AA 3 games ago. At least doom post in reality. Well given Dawson was an AA mid last season, their replacement probably isn't better than our best mid. Have you watched us play this year? The only way we win this game is if it is rigged. Well we have both Williamson & Fleer, so it won't be rigged in our favour! ****ing Williamson!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Nankervis, Dowling and Curtin all need to come in. Lets hope with the Gather round wankfest they are holding off announcing debuts just yet lol Chris Scott suggesting the SA teams should play each other in gather round as a third showdown, wait for it… due to it being unfair. So Chris how many clubs play each other 3 times in the main season? How many games do Geelong play outside of Victoria this year? 7. How many games at that cigar shaped piece of poo? 9. Yeah, it’s unfair. Surely they can’t be serious when they make these statements, has to be tongue in cheek They are a special breed across the border. At a crows gather round clinic with my son. They have sent out all the sanfl players. The kids would hardly know them, some of the stations don’t even have crows players doing it. Also they aren’t holding any other clinics over the weekend (which they easily could given their game will be done and they haven’t traveled, looks like they’ve taken the opportunity to hold the session before an open training session (which sucks for the kids as they have to wait with the adults to get things signed). [censored] poor AFC It’s only because they’ve cheaped out and held it before their captains run. Grow some balls and hold one on the weekend after the game when some of the A players can attend. Dowling part of the clinic, does that mean no debut? FFS. Possibly yeah No Nank so he might be in. Guy Sebastian there, might have brought him in to be a duo with Rankine Seriously can't wait to get pumped by 10 goals. Nankervis - deserving Cook - Soft AF. Sholl V2 Berry - Love his ability to tackle. I wish fumbles were recorded as a key stat because he'd lead them every week. Parnell - Like the lad but being a 3 foot 8 midget who can kick has it's down falls Butts - Can't wait to watch his inability to hit a target within 30m in the D50 then hold up the play and bomb it down the line, yay. Since somebody mentioned cohesion last week... Let's continue to not reward blokes who are in form (dowling).. What a s**t environment. Then you've got GC who're debuting 3 kids this week.. If I'm Curtin I'm requesting the trade at the end of this year. May and Lever to take 45 marks between them I reckon this might get ugly. Dees by 39 That's not that ugly. Probably the line... I'm on board with the George Kramer call. Have gone Crows by 57 points Yep. Let's go. 9 or 10 goals sound about right. We win tomorrow night you all better hail me (GK) Straight jackets someone get the straight jackets Gonna save myself the frustration by not watching this game. If we win i will take a look. i'm not expecting to see the game. Hopefully the players throw nicks gameplan in the bin. May having 14 odd days between getting his ribs broken and cartilage damage, i will be [censored] if he drops into the hole and no one puts a knee into them within the first 15min, even better someone "accidently" puts a shoulder into them before the first bounce The only thing giving me hope is remembering that "ring the bell" match a couple years ago when absolutely nobody thought we could beat them and we got over the line by a point or something, with Murray (or was it Doedee?) getting away with the most obvious deliberate you've ever seen in your life in the last few seconds. Are you ready to be [censored]ed?!?! Don't do it to yourself.... Stop hoping for the win. That's how they get you. Resign yourself to the fact we continue to be a rabble and will not achieve any level of success with the back the boys club in control. Once you've made peace with that, you'll lead a much happier life. Welcome to my TEDtalk.

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.
