This didn't age well!

1/ Merge Bne and the Suns. Bne get to take 8 players from GC but (both) lose all their draft picks next year to the new Tassie club, and then give up some picks to the new club for the next 2-4 years (maybe rd 1 one year and rd2 the next etc) Merged club plays 8 home games at the Gabba and 3 at Metricon 2/ Create new Tassie Club. They can select/trade up to 20 players from GC list. Get all the draft picks in their first year that would have gone to GC and Bne and draft picks after that for the next 2-4 years (see above) Priority drafting zone for Tasmanians (ie Academy) for 2-4 years 4 uncontracted players from existing AFL clubs (with compensation) PLay 4 home games at Hobart, 4 home games at Launceston and 3 home games at Gold Coast Play one away game in Hobart vs NM and one away game at Launceston vs Hawthorn per year. Notes This doesn't dilute the talent as it keeps same number of teams. Nor does it penalise existing poor clubs due for a high draft pick but miss out because of a new club. 6 games / year are still played at Gold Coast, so the area and stadium is not being abandoned. Hawthorn and North Melbourne can keep laying games in Tassie but must play one home game in Tassie against Tassie. There are 14 games in Tassie for the year (8 home games for the 'Devils', plus 3 for Hawks and 3 for North) [Alternatively, they could just make North play some home games up in GC]. The new BNE/GCS merged team would be a beast

It's late in the season and most good eligible players have already been nominated, so is there a chance for Rising Star nom? That would be awesome.

I want us to win tonight. I want us to be responsible for WCE missing the finals. I want Eagles fans to scapegoat the umpires, their old players, the lack of fans and everything else as they try to explain the loss. I want my cousin's kids, who live in Perth and are the only Dees at their school, to enjoy mocking those who have relentlessly stirred them all their lives. I want to text my Perth mate after the game and just say "ha, f*cking ha" In short, I want to HUMILIATE the Eagles. I want us to show no mercy as we grind them into oblivion. Remember how you felt in the 2018 Prelim? Embrace the feeling. Now is the moment that our Premiership campaign takes off. No more losses - six more wins. Go Demons!

AFL App says T McDonald is injured, but I didn't see anything?

Brilliant!

My work mate is Port. As per tradition, I will get in to work before him and drape a flag over his desk.

It's a Thursday night and I'm drunk

We were outplayed for 2/3 of that quarter but we still outscored them. Great work Dees. Stay strong - 1Q to go.

Of course, Weeds is playing like a star as he kicks hs 2nd.

Hogan misses 2.2.14 GWS 3.2.20 Casey

Giants kick their first goal 3.1.19 to 1.1.7

3.1.19 to 0.1.1. 14 mins in 1stq Casey ahead

Casey Radio covering it - https://www.caseyradio.com.au/shows/vfl-vflw/ Weeds gets the opening goal!

Given the short turn around, if BBB puts in a good first half then take him off and guarantee him a spot on Thursday night.

Standards are HIGH at the Demons 2021. You need to perform well in multiple consecutive weeks at VFL to be considered for promotion. Chin up BBB. We need another five+ goals for Casey this weekend. No-one is gifted a game in Demons 2021. No matter who they are ... or were. If you're good enough you'll show us. Every Demon supporter wants you to succeed. Having said that, I feel sorry for poor Jonesy getting an injury straight after his pearler VFL game. There's still time to get back in this team but that sucks.

Imagine if Jones breaks Neitz' record while playing as the medi-sub!

Max is currently sitting 7th in the AFLCA champion player award and a shoe-in for another All-Australian berth. Lotfy standards indeed!

Goodwin said the Dees “don’t give anyone guarantees to play”. “What we will do is pick the best team that is available and the best team that is in form, no matter who the name is,” I wholeheartedly support this. Although hampered by the lack of VFL opportunities, B Brown doesn't come into the team just because of who he is. That was one of the first things Roos changed when he came to our club. In the Neeld days, we'd drop someone only to bring them back 2 weeks later when we dropped someone else, regardless of their form. Beat the door down, Benny and you'll get as game.

Yay!! Got my tix (MCC)

"His arms reaching up like giant testicles" was my favourite of Jack's.

I don't know if it's been said before, but I fail to see the point of crowd limit percentage at games when they just crowd everyone into one part of the ground and keep entire other sections of the ground closed. If games are at limited to 50% capacity then open the entire ground so that the crowd is spread out. Given you have to pre-book a seat, couldn't you just leave one space between every booking party as a minimum - so that no-one is sitting next to a stranger? Perhaps when you book each seat it also removes from play the equivalent number of seats that are near you?

I think a loss to a bottom 4 team means our head was in the wrong place. A loss to a top 4 team means they might be better than us. While i'd choose to never lose at all, losing to Collingwood and Adelaide but beating WB, Brisbane, Geel and Rich is way better than the other way around.

well, OK.

Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far. Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball. Oliver quiet. Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.
