Can you imagine the call out charges back then? "I'm on my way. I'll just load up my donkey. See you Thursday". Calls the customer on the Wednesday: "Sorry, it'll be Thursday week. Had a stopover in Cana".

[censored] on Ghosty - who respects it now? It’s the Logies for midfielders. Kick ten, save a game, dominate the ruck? Invisible. Rack up 35 sideways handballs? Congratulations, here’s your medal.

Despite all the speculation that goes on around here - you're still my favourite Ghosty.

Gary Lyon barred-up after his goal. Said he'd now legit earned the right to be called the wizard. Have never taken him seriously as a footy analyst. This just confirmed it.

Who was support? Harold Holt and the Sharks?

All good @Fork 'em. Go dees. That's ultimately all that counts. And I'm sure we are both grateful we saw the great man's career.

and the evidence for that would be? carltank have had mostly new people on the scene now half a dozen times in the last 30 years. its going very well for them.

you're the bro who raised stats.

Comparing each players career stats would not work out for you @Fork 'em. So I'll STFIH 🤣. And i already acknowledged in my original post that Tulip was a better mark.

Actually, yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQzvoTNfnE8

I didn't say that.

Who's room? Carlton have been one of the dumbest traders for the last 30 years. Totally in their wheelhouse.

I can. There are reasons we have finished 14th and the laughing stock of the comp.

Possibly the greatest ever Demonland post.

Simpkin doesn't bring experience - he brings one year 8 times.

Now mayzie is gone, scarlet doesn't come in.

Think Pendles — one of the greatest I’ve ever seen (despite being Filth) — but imagine him with a stronger overhead mark and doing it in a side that was, at times, far from great. A remarkable player. And unlike Pendles, he never so much as hinted at leaving the Dees. Loyal, humble, bled red and blue. A wonderful captain and genuine role model. More than a few could take a leaf out of his book. I admire your humility in asking the question, @sam6172. Many believe the so-called “modern” game of run-and-carry and line-breaking was invented five minutes ago, but Tulip was doing it week in, week out — linking from the back pocket all the way to the forward line. His skills by hand and foot were sublime, his footy IQ every bit the equal of Pendlebury’s. He could play virtually every position on the ground except ruck, and he never wasted a moment on the interchange bench. Injuries often kept him out or limited his influence, but even at fifty percent he was still better than most in the comp.

That’s because we’re sick of the infantilism that drives the day-to-day footy narrative. For example — endless fawning over the Daicoses and Ashcrofts that both claim claims with a packet of crisps, while pretending it’s all homegrown genius. Or the “favourable draws” that magically appear for certain clubs every year, as if by divine right. Or the blind eye to salary cap gymnastics that would make an accountant blush. Why bother analysing the actual prelims when we can all pretend the competition is a fairy tale instead of a rigged circus?

I'm forwarding to Molly Meldrum - he'll understand.

I gave birth this morning. And let me tell you, something died.

Look — you two are my equal second-favourite posters. This is worse than hearing Milky’s knocked out Mayzie again; please desist, otherwise I’m going to need to call the crisis line for a moderator-assisted detox and three solid weeks away from Demonland.

Golly gosh I feel for B. Should we take out a restraining order?

Thanks Gary 'Captain Obvious' Lyon. Apart of the 90 percent who provide zero insight.

Dusty Martin - discussion over 🤣.
