Cranky Franky

Good on Pedo. One of my favourites. Darwin Buffs is my old Club from the 1980's, home of Matty Whelan & Andrew McLeod & many Top End champions. He will struggle with the humidity until he acclimatises. Hope he does well.

Agree he showed promise in 2024. He made some errors but showed dash & was prepared to take the game on. If he can tidy up a few areas he could be a very handy player.

Scott Chisholm for Jason Norrish & Troy Longmuir

Just love Viney but his contract extension was one of our dumbest ever decisions & it seemed to happen because at the time the Brains Trust (sic) was desperate for good news PR.

Thanks for the training reports everyone. The foot injuries are concerning.

Heeee's baaaaack🙀🙀

Love Turner but he should have got a 3 year deal only. Long deals are killing Clubs like ours ie Goodwin, Gus, Clarry - strewth even Laurie got an absurdly long deal.

Well I'm not surprised. Dunstall is about 60 and Jesus doesn't exist.

Definitely for renewal. Bring on Rivers & Chandler

Is this a serious comment ? Why would you get drafted to a Club & then not physically turn up & train with teamates, attend meetings, talk to coaches etc & play for the team. Name any other Club that lets their draftee stay interstate away from the team.

I actually find the comments accurate. Goodwin had a generational list & delivered 1 flag. Tigers & Lions with arguably worse lists delivered multiples. Lions had swags of injuries in 25 but still found a way. And his coaching was dreadful in 2017, 2019 & 2020. Biggest underachieving coach in recent history - but we can console ourselves with the learnings........and the lurve .

You may well be correct Binman but remember Clubs & players love to put a positive PR spin on injuries. Jake has to let the surgery heal then get his fitness back then find form. Doubt he can contribute in 2026 but would be happy to be proved wrong.

Well I did speak in detail to the surgeon about lis franc & he advised me that the injuries are nearly all similar & so is the surgery & recovery - ie repair of the ligaments holding the metatarsal bones in place. A bit like most ACL's are similar as is the recovery period.

Watched almost every game he has played including Casey ones. IMHO he needs to be much more physical & aggressive with his attack on the ball more like Hibberd or May if he is going to make it which I highly doubt.

Did not.

Surely you jest ! He has less chance than Jefferson of succeeding. And he lacks any physical presence.

Shirty Bertie - seriously ?? Pretty sure you promised us this was your last quiz about 2 years ago but then they keep popping up unexpectedly just like Barnaby Joyce in our worst nightmare

Its Moody Jenny & she's good. Can you confirm you won't inflict any more lugubrious quizzes on Demonlanders ?

No its quiet different. Jack had stress fracture of his navicular bone. My wife had a lis franc & I can tell you Jake won't play at all this year.

Nobody loved RF more than me but this is like living in Groundhog Day with endless repeats of Robbie & Ox. Lets appreciate our current heroes or even some that rarely get mentioned - loved the Bob Johnson & Hassa Mann reviews.

Harsh but fair if a tad cruel to parking inspectors.

This is exactly right. Apart from 3 or 4 games he was pretty poor this year, hesitant & often beaten. Should have been dropped but the selectors probably thought it a good investment to give him games he didn't deserve. On this year's form he wouldn't be in Freos team.

Well I'm pretty sure you would know all about brain scramble

Senior's error. My brain is occasionally scrambled.

Probably made up his mind after costing us the Port game after Rankine cut him to pieces.
