  1. I'm actually happy for him to go off to Freeo. Gladly except 5 first rounders in '22, 3 in '23 and 1 in '24 for him.
  2. The entomology of arrogant is the Latin 'arrogare'. It means ‘claiming for oneself’. Many people are perceived to be arrogant, for example, by claiming for themselves excessive knowledge or wisdom that is not theirs to claim. Most premierships are won with the assistance of external influences. I have written about this elsewhere on Demonland. Recent examples include West Coast (basically granted a state side in the 1990s), Brisbane (picked the eyes out of Fitzroy), Hawthorn (tanked) and Geelong (father/son before the rules were changed). We shouldn’t forget that we were given a hand-up in 2013 by the AFL when we had shot-off both our feet. We didn't get here totally under our own steam. Arrogance would be thinking we did.
  3. Glad he's not running our recruiting department.
  4. Prefer not to think of either of those two.
  5. We've done alright with St Kilda players over the years. Big Carl, the Elliots, Shanners . . .
  6. far out brussel sprout. Casey would beat Suns easily I recon.
  7. Still love him. What a wonderful emergency sub (or whatever they're called) he would have been?
  8. Interviewer in 2015: Why have you suddenly hit your prime? Todd Goldstein: Seven pre-seasons. ___________________________________________________________ Paul Roos 2014 . . . The players who really make it train on Christmas day.
  9. ASIO secrets are in the dump master on Constitution Avenue. Cleared at 8pm Wednesday nights.
  10. He'll be the only one there who knows how to read, write, make an appointment with the dentist and use a spreadsheet.
  11. QD's objective list: Trak Kossie Oliver Jacko Viney BBB Langers Gus Maxy Majak
  12. There were a few i liked. The Trak one at the beginning of the game, TMac's at the end, and all the deez ones in between. Other than that, Bont's snap of the left foot 70 metres out was pretty handy.
  13. In three years from now they'll be recruiting premiership player Michael Hibbard.
  14. lots of competition for that 'award'.
  15. They recruit Kent and get rid of Dunstan. No wonder they don't win premierships.
  16. Vin Catoggio was a legend. Once asked to describe the best goal he ever kicked and he said something like this: The ball came down into the goal square, I flew for the mark but spilt it. I got to my feet, baulked, ducked, wrong footed, sold the dummy and put it through. Only thing, I was the only player in the square at the time.
  17. Anyone who goes to war with Daisy, goes to war with me.
  18. Back in 1979, we did a number on Richmond at the MCG. After the game, supporters and cheer squad members, probably a hundred of us, gathered on the ground at the entrance to the player's race, and sang the following song: Hooray for Richmond, Hooray at last, Hooray for Richmond, For they're the horse's a&%e (rhymes with 'last'). Don't be mistaken, Don't be misled, They're not the horse's a&%e, They're the horse's head. Does anyone remember this or was at the ground that day?
  19. Somebody on here predicted the Deez by 10 goals and the Norm Smith medalist.
  20. I just got off the blower with another D'lander. Synchronistically, we spend quite a bit of time wondering if we could go through 2022 undefeated. It would give us 32 wins on the trot. It's not beyond the realms of possibility.
  21. As I said in the previous post on this topic, as long as a cow bell is present in the song, I'm in.
