  1. Alright, I'm set up on the couch, fine Islay scotch at the ready. Let's get this thing started. Someone call ahead, we're good to go.
  2. Thanks mate, that clarifies it. Dunno what these other guys are talking about.
  3. @Baghdad Bob and McQueen: Yeah, the stream's free on the club website today, so no need to sign up. We were airplaying the game last night off an iPhone so I imagine a tablet would be just as easy. We had it in mirror mode and it worked fine. I'll be playing it off my laptop with a HDMI cable plugged into the tv because I find that easiest. Other options are to load it through a 'SmartTV' or you can bring it up on a playstation/Xbox if you have one of those. Edit: just had a look at Chromecast. You'd probably have to bring up the club website on Chrome and play it through there. Shouldn't be too much hassle. I haven't used it, but it looks like it works much the same as Samsung SmartTVs.
  4. I had the same thing and was very annoyed by it. I was going to renew anyway, but I select every year that I don't want money taken out of my account as I don't keep the majority of cash in that account and I don't want to be charged expensive overdrawn fees if it happens to be empty. One way to prevent lapsed members. And also to make them want to cancel their memberships the year after. Good to see the accounts page is still clunky and horrendous by the way. I've been directed there to get my interstate tickets to a game and as yet haven't worked out where the hell to get them. My membership doesn't even show up there, just directs me to a link to sign up for one. Ridiculous.
  5. That is some excellent news.
  6. He's a player I'd happily have an award named after when his playing days are over.
  7. Will be Nate and Dom next year, then Nate, Dom, Salem and Hogan some time after that.
  8. Can we quit using the $1000 as gospel until we know it's an actual quote from Peter Jackson? No offense intended to the guy who posted it, but he has five posts on here and given no reason to suggest he is a reliable source of direct quotes from the club.
  9. Personally I'd rather read these guys calling out Saty for being a condescending [censored] than his inane drivel, but to each their own.
  10. Horrible. Thought his disposal was better yesterday though.
  11. Well, thanks to whoever deleted my post-match thread, moved my post-match post to the match thread then locked that thread and started a post-match thread. Here's what I wrote over there:: The good: - Jonesy: I reckon most people would throw this down as a given by now, but when was the last time we had a player of his class that we knew would give us an a-grade, if not marquee level game, week in week out? He may not be a star of the competition, but he is the heart and soul of this team. The guy is a gun. - Newton: Stoked to see his preseason form show against a top 4 level team. I expected to see him have a dip and give us something on the inside, but did not expect his level of class. Is going to be a gun for us. - Van den berg... Bloody hell... This guy can can find a football! On top of that, he was damaging with it! Anyone with dream team is mad not to throw this guy in. - Hoges: First game back and played like he was born for it. Wasn't a superstar on return, but played his role and played it well. Was consistently creating contests the whole night and even if he never improved, which he will, could carve out a respectable career at the level he played at tonight. - Lamumba: huge presence. Wasn't the best I've seen him play, but brought so much to the team just by being there. - McDonald and Frost: Could not ask for better pillars in defence. - Tyson: forgot to mention him because I was gonna throw him in with Jonesy. All class. Not much to say except that this guy is a gun. - Etc: Offence was much better. Generally impressed with the younger lads' endeavour. Showed a more offensive side of the game. Dawes: One. Grab. The bad: - Grimesy: Love the guy, but is so unreliable at the moment. Hope this improves with more time to focus on his own game. - Kicking long to Garlett: let him crumb. The amount of times we kicked long to a contest between Garlett and one or two of Freo's taller defenders was just silly. - Dunny: Nowhere near last year's standard. There's probably more, but I mainly wanted to focus on the positives anyway. A number of other players showed good signs and bad. Overall, we've noticeably improved from last year. All the new recruits added to the team and I think losing Frawley has actually made us better. The most disappointing thing was that we were outclassed. We looked well coached, had a good balance of offense and defence etc, but we were simply outclassed by Freo. Vince would've helped and if Watts is improving his contested game, then he would've been of benefit as well. From what I can read into a single NAB cup game, we have finally turned the corner and are reaching towards mediocrity. We won't make the eight, but we will be in the lower echelon of that mix. Bring on next week.

  13. Still shattered for Petracca, but it's horrible for Bulldog supporters seeing Libba go down. The guy is a gun. Wouldn't want to imagine Tyson or Jones going down.
  14. Never been the same since he lost Olivia Munn.
  15. You can't hide from your past, demonland.
  16. Even censored the 'off' Dean Kent is pretty much my favourite player these days. No chance of heading home while Hogan's around.
  17. Should just roll with the banner on the Demonland links page. http://demonland.com/links.htm
