  1. I am still feeling terribly upset after Saturday's loss which is unusual for me as I am usually OK the next day. At work yesterday a male colleague confided that he went outside and had a bit of a sob after the game. A Carlton supporter colleague told me he felt more upset about Melbourne's loss than Carlton's loss. Even my husband is being nice and telling me we will still make finals. I don't think I can watch the game on Saturday night so I have booked tickets to the movies and will check the scores when I get home. I did not feel the pain so much when we lost to Collingwood at the end of last season as I was sitting in ICU supporting a family member for four days who nearly died from the flu so those few days were a bit of a blur. I hope I can break this feeling of doom and gloom.....
  2. As a child and young teen I went to nearly every Dees game with my dad but he point blankly refused to take me to a game at Geelong. As an adult, I did trek out to Geelong once and once only. I understood my dads reasons after that.
  3. Tattooed would be even better.
  4. I woke up this morning hoping I had just had a bad dream last night and we had won. I am interstate at a conference and the hotel TV was only showing the Brisbane game so I relied on a few apps and Demonland to keep up to date. I just feel so sad and quite teary this morning. I haven’t obviously watched the replay and not sure if I want to when I get home later. Usually I get sulky but I am just plain sad ? I am ready to murder my husband as he keeps reminding me the Pies are in the top four. I really hope the Tigers smash them next week. The conference was a waste of time, the hotel was terrible, I haven’t slept properly for two nights courtesy of a lumpy bed and noise from the nightclub next door. And now I am trying to come to terms that we won’t make finals again this year. All in all a weekend from hell. i need to go home and hug my dog but just got a text to say my flight has been delayed ????

  8. Nice goal Jessie. C’mon Dees
  9. Been in lots of corporate boxes over the years due to work. To be honest I much prefer to sit out in the members but it’s a great view and sometimes the food is better than your average pie and chip. You do need to show a level of restraint though especially if your boss is present.
  10. I really do not know of another club who has so many players with foot/toe injuries as we have had in recent times.
  11. Oh I am so sad to hear that. What a bag of mixed emotions Dr Harris must be carrying. His father would have died a proud man.
  12. Truly a miracle. The entire rescue team and volunteers are heroes. Special mention to Dr Richard Harris - the Australian doctor and diving expert with over 30 years of experience who helped to co-ordinate the Thai cave rescue. He was apparently the last person to leave the caves after the final group of soccer boys and their coach were rescued. He has been described as 'The best, not good - the very best'. I am so glad your wife was right Ding.
  13. I have been transfixed by this story since the beginning. I am an experienced diver but cannot imagine negotiating such a complicated cave system as this. I hope your wife is right Ding. It sounds as though they have the right experts in place and have thought the options through thoroughly. The rescue team are heroes. I hope Mother Nature holds off those heavy rains and the boys, their coach and the rescue team all get out safely.
  14. Can't stand his ugly mug. Very, very arrogant.

  16. Sums up exactly how I feel.
  17. It breaks my heart to see them in a coaching capacity with other clubs.
  18. Me too - my heart skipped a beat.
  19. Since the QB game, I have had this sinking feeling that the season is over for us. Its really sad - I hope we can turn thing around but I just cannot see it happening.
  20. There are no words..... I’m totally shattered.
  21. Ive been told by one of our players partners that quite a few of his former Dees team mates will be at the game supporting Jack. Nice touch by the boys. Shows how respected Jack was at our club.
  22. What could have been .....sigh

    My lips are sealed Ethan. I never kiss and tell.

    Finally caught up with my source this morning who told me that Gaff definately wants to be a Demon next year. I pressed for a bit more but that’s all he would give me.
