The heart beats true

I’m genuinely enjoying watching the Eagles play with so many top up players. It’s fascinating to watch how the individuals play, and how they need to be coached to be competitive.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was Ricky Nixon, but everyone didn’t believe him?

Where did you see?

It’s all so Sydney. Everyone feeling a million bucks running around under lights after a few too many drinks. But then it’s 3 hours on public transport to get home to the house you’ll be paying off until your 147.

Is this really necessary? It’s not like they won the flag after 57 years. 🙄

He can come to the Dees whenever he wants.

I read today that Josh Frydenberg is a Carlton supporter. Bevo will blame the budget for tonight’s loss.

I’m confused. Are we supposed to be talking to people who don’t barrack for Melbourne? Why?

Dwayne Is the worst commentator in the AFL - not that the others are any good, but he insists on adding Americanisms to our game, and all it does it takeaway what is special about the AFL. I actually forgot how much I dislike when he calls.

I’m getting Monte Morgan from Client Liaison.

One things for sure… “You have the nerve to ask a question and to even be here?” just became my standard Demonland response.

Oh I had now idea. I hate Damien Barrett so I avoid his nonsense like the plague, but I stumbled on something last year and so thought it was new. I also dislike Kane Cornes, so maybe Bevo’s on to something 🤔

His attitude reminds me of Terry Wallace’s Bulldogs of the late 90’s. It’s always ‘backs against the wall. Everyone hates us’. You can’t keep that up forever, as it’s mentally exhausting. He got upset at Damien Barrett last year too. It’s like he needs to feel the world is out to get him. It’s an old, outdated world view that’s really bad for your mental health.

It’s going to be on the front bar in 3 minutes if you’re interested

That was the proof the world needed that we are the hardest working team without the ball. Our system, and ability to stick to it, is elite.

The AFL can’t seriously expect players not to complain when they’ve made the game so confusing to interpret, and then on top of that start the season being so consistently reactive to ‘new interpretations’. Ive watched footy for almost 40 years and I’m so confused.

ANB, Langdon and Brown very good. Smith looked good attacking the ball.

If that was holding the ball against Petracca then there will be 140 free kicks a game.

Leave cheese alone.

I’m sure the clubs have final say on what can and can’t be shown, and I’d be very surprised if the dogs coaches weren’t unbelievably critical of their midfield group at the end of the 3rd. They refused to structure correctly.

Wow. In that 3rd quarter Goodwin was so calm. We slowly wrestled the momentum back and got things going our way, and then played the best 5 minutes of attacking football that’s ever been played. Still makes me pump my fist in delight. It’s magical.

McGowan delayed the inevitable, but was always going to miraculously open up ‘just in time’ for the Eagles and Dockers. The irony is that he’s stuffed their list up - as all the other states had players away in January, and the Eagles are now just beginning to deal with it. WA is the gift that keeps on giving.

I still feel like they are a long way off being a real club. It must be so difficult to watch strong Victorian teams with lifelong passionate supporters for the young players at GCS and GWS. You are in the AFL system, but not in the AFL culture. It’s a minimum 30 year build, more likely 40 if the first 10 years are anything to go by for the Suns. It’s a huge commitment from the AFL, and it must take a lot of work behind the scenes to maintain. I applaud Ben’s loyalty. Be interesting to hear the terms.

I just want to say to those people saying negative and mean spirited things about Essendon… I completely agree.

My biggest learning is that hysterics are back! Oh the real Demonland. How I’ve missed you.
