  1. This thread is getting to be like the game day thread! As I see it, it’s 3/4 time and we’re 10 points down. Some think it’s already over but Binman thinks our loading will see us through (ie jacko stays) In the game itself, his mum is apparantly starring at CHB for the opposition … maybe cause in our panic we just keep dumping it long and high into the pocket ? Plus the pokémon cards are also having a field day at half forward. But there’s Still a qtr to go …. I think with a few changes the dees can still pull it off!!
  2. your “it’s just a thought” sadly seems to be the best idea/ info we have. If the club doesn’t sort this out in our golden era, the members are gonna burn the house down on the way down. In an era where I feel amazingly proud of the club in almost all ways… it feels like we still have this one seriously embarrassing area. The thread taps me into how I used to feel all the time about the dees.
  3. As long as Jackson doesn’t go public with his intentions. Eg If Cerra had nominated us we would have got him cheaper than the pick 6 the blues paid. I think Jackson, go or stay loves the club and will do his best w his manager to see it’s a fair deal.
  4. Hird may well galvanise the bombers ….but in the short term only. As, at the same time, it may well galvanise the rest of the comp and the AFL against them. Hird should never be a senior coach again. Assistant coach ok but that’s the limit: I have to ask myself who would want to go there with him in charge , whether it be player or assistant coach. If he got the gig and did poorly, for whatever reason, their whole club would fully implode. Way more than they are now. sigh. one can only hope! After copping all those years of sheedys abuse about basically being a loser club, I don’t mind one bit he’s getting a taste of what that means now. Maybe he’ll learn a bit of humility.
  5. That’s going to stay with him fr a long time. It just had to go to the goal line. So obvious 🤦‍♂️
  6. yep. This instead of “ the dees have been targeting zorko all night”
  7. They got to exactly where they were headed.. physically distracted and suspended.
  8. you’d think, if we were, it would have been announced by the club along with it. If we’re not then we’re frikn nowhere near it.
  9. I know he gets a lot of flack here but Lyon is one of the very few ex player commentators that manages to keep his biases aside. When you see how Brown commentates it makes me re appreciate Gary.
  10. In game Injuries, umpiring, critical bounces, critical set shot goals. So many edgey things can send games north or south. But if you said at the start of the year it will 3v4 in the last game of the year and we’ll win by 10 goals. And that we’d go 16-6 in a post premiership year w the hardest draw, I’d be stoked. so Ill happily take those 4 out of 10 odds. Barring last year it’s 4 times more than pretty much any year i’ve known as a dee.
  11. I’m sure it’s been said on this thread already but how the F is that not a 50 metre penalty against zorko when he put Langdon in an ongoing headlock after being run down. Even without the comment to Petty, Zorko was at it all night and , as a captain, disgraced himself.
  12. No it isn’t but I guarantee some Geelong players felt uncomfortable watching that game. Who can say who will win it .. but it’s the start of the finals and fair to say the dees are right up to our neck in it now.
  13. against that I remember well when Barassi went there in 73 and they, using the newly adopted 10 yr rule, became a powerhouse fr a decade. Which is to say, occasionally a messiah is the real deal. Clarko feels pretty real to me.
  14. Hird to the bombers is like Trump to the Republicans. Doesn’t matter what he says or does…he’ll be the one to “rescue them”. He’ll do nothing but polarise the club and everyone within it. “I see a bad moon arising “ But in the bombers case it does bring a smile.
  15. Big stakes aren’t they. Tiges at the G is not a game I’d be looking forward to. lose and we well could be out in week 1. Gotta come with all guns firing in this one.
  16. The ABC call is the only one to celebrate it from a melbourne perspective!
  17. I’m sure you’ll get to it anyway but.. does struggling to get over the line against the blues and struggling to put away pies and doggies mean we aren’t really in contention? Last year we felt like clearly the best team in it, albeit with some shock losses along the way. 2022 has a v different flavour. As exciting as Sat eve was I have no idea where we genuinely stand at all.
  18. I’ll just let my self out 🤦‍♂️
  19. If he gets off this then there’s no point in the rules re head high contact and no point in the tribunal.
  20. I’d feel a bit shattered if Todd left. I love having him back.
  21. “ one or BOTH of the first rounders we get fr Jackson” go F yourself with that deal.
  22. Feeling genuinely proud of the club is a whole new world .
  23. Strange night for Max. I had him BOG also, but his kicking for goal cost us the game.
