  1. Chamois is Chinese but Euro styled. All sizes can be catered for. It's a more relaxed fit than race cut... by the way, we're not racing. What's OEM, MFR?
  2. Putting together a Demon Cycling Kit. Full kit can be done for less than $100 including jersey (short sleeve), bib & braces and socks. Let me know if you or your friends and family are interested. It will be short run and these will go quickly. Can provide sizing guide
  3. Anyone know who we play next week and where? I'm getting nothing from the AFL website. I'm also getting nothing from the MFC page re training schedule.
  4. Completely agree. Brad Green left the field with a detached retina before the ball was even bounced and Michael Long performed the most cowardly act on a 19yr old. Troy was rushed to hospital. Michael was raced to the AFL hall of fame. Times have indeed changed. Burgoyne did cop a massive $1k fine for his sling tackle on an opponent who never had the ball.
  5. Agree with all... except your assessment of Jones. He was prob the only one with any poise tonight.
  6. He did really well to respond following the 4 day break
  7. I’ve been wondering for years why this club has had no success for such a long time. This club doesn’t have a home. Where is our social club? The kids don’t know where the team trains. The players don't know where the kids are. They players don't have to look the kids in the eye after their last performance. If we won a flag, where would we take the Cup? Where would the family celebration be? We're the only club in the AFL without a home training ground and a heartland. We gave it up in the 80s. Simply, we don’t have a home and home is where the heart is. We have no heart. 
  8. Is this the same guy who got rubbed out for biting? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-10/essendon-conor-mckenna-suspended-for-biting-tory-dickson/9638358
  9. Switch off after the 7th goal is kicked for the match... that will warm you.
  10. Great win! I've loved both games from Zanker this year. She's got a great future in this comp. Size, pace, good decision making, overhead marking and kicking; what's not to like? (You may recall the set shot goal she made last year as a teenager from 45 out on the boundary late in the 3rd against the Bulldogs.) Also liked the games of Shelley Scott, Kate Hore, Shelley Heath, Maddie Gay, Aleisha Newman, Meg Downie and Libby Birch. It's been a great start for us given the loss of three key players with season ending knee injuries before round 1 (Lauren Pearce, Katherine Smith and Shae Sloane). Add to it that Bianca Jakobsson decided to join the police force just before season start and Lily Mithen is still yet to play. The structures and game plan seem good this year. There's a clear to plan to put our leadership strength to halfback (Paxman, O’Dea and Daisy Pearce). Highlight was Zanker's contested give to Paxman for a right foot snap. Can't wait for Hore to kick straight and Newman to get some still, dry playing conditions. Sad news for Ainslie Kemp for her third long term knee injury.
  11. Does Goodie say, "Brisbane is a quality side" or does he come clean and confess we are a crap side and a crap club?
  12. Surely it must be official now that we are the ‘inside 50 second stoppage specialists’. Ranked as No.1 in the Comp for 2018 and 2019.
  13. One co-captain hardly gets a touch. The other one can't even catch it. Really Simon?
  14. Now that Mark has been released from Essendon, the door is open at Punt Road. Can we crowdfund a package to get him back to the Tiges and help our cause for a flag? Who's in? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XaTew1NlZU
  15. Hmmm. Trafficking these narcotics in some countries carries the death penalty.
  16. Hehe. Love this. No stress. Essendon will pay the fine like last time.

    Coaches

    Can we have a vote on a podium finish for our least embarrassing coach of the modern era? The nominees are: Carl Ditterich 1979-1981 Ron Barassi 1981-1986 John Northey 1986-1993 Neil Balme 1993-1998 Neale Danniher 1998-2008 Dean Bailey 2008-2012 Mark Neeld 2012-2014 Paul Roos 2014-2017 Simon Goodwin 2017 ~ -Patsy Biscoe I’m looking for a 3, 2, 1 podium finish for the least embarrassing coach over the last 40 years. To be clear, if you’re number 1 on the dais, you’re the least embarrassing coach. If Simon G doesn’t make the podium then we’re all fine and we can go one another 40 years.
  18. Pretty shattered Lynch and Brownie couldn't get Brisbane over the line tonight (or even get Hodgie back one the ground when it mattered).
  19. If you're not interested PF, now would be a good time to stay inside and work on your spelling. It's blancmange, not blamange.
  20. Please be doing your nails or something then. No one cares you don't care.
  21. Great summary DiO. Cunningham won the ball when it mattered. But wow, there's a foot on the end of her left leg she doesn't know is there yet. .
  22. "God I hate Carlton"... hehe... I'm starting to love Carlton; the way we just take the 4 points away from them so neatly... Bruise free footy.
