Green Demon

Wikipedia: Family lifeDe Koning is the son of Terry De Koning, who played for Footscray in the 1980s. He is the ninth eldest in a blended family of ten children, and his immediate elder brother is Carlton footballer Tom De Koning.[6 “Ninth eldest”, I guess they mean second oldest, not second youngest. Was it translated from Dutch?

Nobody in Ireland has heard of Nick Daicos. If you are watching CH7, you have to hear BT say that every chance he gets when Oisin Mullin gets the ball.

Teams usually rue those early misses in a GF.

I am far more offended by the butchers apron on the colonial flag and having a non-Aussie as head of state.

Higher than Joe Cocker!

I celebrate that he has come second! I love it and never want him or anyone from that club to win.

Nothing to see here.

Why congratulate NDaicos? He is just one of hundreds that didn't win it.

The Brownlow voting system drives me crazy. Tradition, my a***. The AFL has changed everything else about the game to make an extra buck, why not change this so that ALL the best players are in the mix!

I presume I was not the only one screaming in joy at the TV as the Lions scored those goals in the final quarter. As close to a Dees victory as you get.

Now for some Irish and possibly Aussie medals at the World Athletics champs.

Me too! 😀

I want to see Maynard tears.

The Lions aren’t giving this one away.

LFG Cameron!

50 every day of the week.

That is a big lead in the context of the game. 😁

Ashcroft - give him the medal next week.

We have to listen to Taylor gushing over the Pies.

Go back and give the Lions the free if it is not an advantage.

If the Pies win this, I am not watching the grand final.

What!!! The umps have got involved.

Fagan should have benched Zorko much earlier.

No high tackle on Ashcroft but it is paid against Zorko.
