  1. As an operations manager for a multinational company, I get absolutely pounded with stuff from HR about diversity and inclusion. Some I agree with and some I don’t. 
    The RAP my employer has put in place  is something I do get thoroughly involved and invested in. 
    I think a couple of weeks of celebrating our history with a change of name for the club is of considerable significance to help change the perception and general view of all people.

    Thanks for your reply. 
    I would also be interested to hear from anyone else on Demonland who is Tasmanian regarding the same question. 
    Will you swap teams? Will you buy membership to one or both clubs?

    The vast majority of my WA born and bred mates switched to the Eagles only when the AFL was formed in 1990 rather than 1987 when they entered the VFL. Not many of them cared much for the VFL and were more interested in the WAFL. I think it varied in the sense that if you were a football player in that era you would support the State league, versus an observer and supporter who jumped at the chance to support a WA club in the VFL due to parochialism more than anything.

    Some then even changed from the Eagles to Freo when they entered the league in a ‘south of the river’ vs NOR mentality.

    The Devils will be a real conundrum for:

    • father/son
    • parent/child
    • half-aunt / half-uncle / half-niece / half-nephew
    • double-first-cousin
    • half-first-cousin

    ……. And I think we should leave it there. 🤣🤣

    Seems to me many an opposition seem to.

    This game is as much between the ears as it is ability. 

    I'm not convinced we're quite there mentally.

    We should be a 10-15 goal better team than this lot. Have no doubt Clarko will spring a trap.

    We need to snuff out their exuberance very early or it's another dog's breakfast.

    Great to have you back chatting mate. 🔴🔵💪

    Yes, there are a few notable comments.

    At least they have mostly kept their sense of humour through the gloom.

     

    I think it is finding those gems that keeps me doing these threads - 10 pages of bigfooty to find enough of interest for the opening post.,,

    I can remember myself and others dealing with our own dark years by substituting our own woe and nausea with similar humour. 
     

    You just have to.
