University research on fans' views of racism in the AFL
I take it from your comments that you don't believe in freedom of speech and support cancel culture.

Rating 2021 team Against 1998, 2000 & 2018
So which players from the 2000 GF team would get into the current team. For mine Ingerson would replace Petty, Neitz for Weid & Farmer for Spargo, Green for Melksham, Yze for ANB & Stynes for Jackson. Febey, Powell, Walsh & Robbo would also be considered.

[censored] ABC clickbait headline
Sadly the ABC has gone downhill. They are now only marginally better than the Murdoch rags.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Sydney
The number of plodders that Demonlanders suggest we go and recruit is quiet hilarious.
-
CHANGES: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Actually you don't know what your talking about. Firstly he didn't play on a wing in 2018 except for brief periods he played as a permanent fwd. Secondly Goodie has stated ad nauseaum at every presser that McDonald will stay forward & not go anywhere else.

CASEY: Rd 05 vs Geelong
So using that principle the lower the grade you play the better you are.

CASEY: Rd 05 vs Geelong
Yes a very interesting prospect. Outstanding athlete but not a natural footballer & lacking football nous. Needs a year or so at Casey but once he understands the game he could be special.

CASEY: Rd 05 vs Geelong
Have you & Dr D been smoking crack together? Rosman has been solid at Casey & done a couple of brilliant things but is a mile from a senior call up.

The MRP & Umpires

The MRP & Umpires
The MRP is becoming a joke. It is incoherent and inconsistent. It needs to focus on behind the play sniping instead of trying to reinterpret umpiring decisions. The charging of Fritsch last week & now May demonstrate it has lost the plot. In both cases the umpires were on the spot and made the right decision - free against Fritsch no 50m penalty or report and with May it was play on. If the ump is on the spot & has adjudicated unless there are extenuating circumstances the MRP should just F Off.

May charged and fined for striking Buddy?
Well you are a dunce then. Contact is made with the shoulder which is legal. Buddy is oiled up so then logically the bump slides higher. Play on nothing to see just like the umpire called. This smacks of petty payback because Fritsch got off & made them look stupid. We must appeal otherwise it stays on his record then next trivial offence he will cop a week.

CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Thought Brayshaw & Fritter both had their worst ever games tonight. That's 2 poor games in a row for Brayshaw.

Meet new MFC President Kate Roffey interview
Lets hope she is one of our better presidents. In my time I've seen a few duds, lots of average plodders and a few decent ones.

CHANGES: Rd 08 vs Sydney
Jeez don't like Harmes do you ? Actually last week he started off a bit rusty & tentative but finished the game pretty well & was one of Casey's better players.

2020 Player Reviews: #33 Oskar Baker
I did watch closely and your comments have gone from reasonable to silly. He was serviceable & nowhere near our worse ' I'm playing him next week.

Yes there should be a Demonland Hall of Shame to honour those who have made the demonstrably ridiculous statements or predictions. Maybe we could vote 3, 2, 1 entry.

2020 Player Reviews: #33 Oskar Baker
Okay he missed that tackle on Cunnington but seriously "massive" liability - I don't see it.
-
2020 Player Reviews: #33 Oskar Baker
Well 15 disposals, 5 marks 4 tackles, 2 clearances and 315 metres gained is a fair afternoons work.

2020 Player Reviews: #33 Oskar Baker
I'm putting this up because I thought Baker was allright today. Helped out in defence and attack yet lots of posters are calling for him to be dropped. He was better than a number of senior players. Has been in good form at Casey & should be rewarded with some consecutive games.
-
CHANGES: Rd 08 vs Sydney
Am I the only one that thought Baker was ok today. I'd give him a block of 3 or 4 games.

Serong/Pickett trade
You could just say "sorry, my mistake I got it wrong Pickett is a gun". And why do you pretend that the Kelly trade was for Tyson without mentioning Salem. Both trades are big wins for us.

Are the Dockers the worst ever team for trading?
Whether you trade or recruit directly its still part of recruiting. We received pick 23(Bernie Vince) as compensation so you could argue that technically it was a trade. The point is Freo stuffed up again.
