  1. I was at the Port Melbourne GCS VFL game this arvo. The umpiring was much better. By en large they let the game flow Those junior umpires did a better job. A different level of decision making, and I’d say a vfl game is easier to officiate… but they took enough time to make the right call. And they didn’t want to be part of the game. But hey, we should be good enough that the umpiring doesnt matter. We weren’t. We are miles off 2021. And thats not down to the umpires !
  2. The battle of Austerlitz! Great win. BOG? A nuggety litttle Corsican fwd pocket, ‘3 votes N Bonaparte’
  3. Grand Old Flag just played at the final siren! What a win In Albury Port Melbourne has beaten GWS and is banging on the door of the Top 10 Now let’s hear it played later this arvo at the MCG (Very handy having the only them song without the clubs name in it 🤓) Go Dee’s
  4. That was wonderful. Just great. That guaranteed GF ticket might just get a call up this year after all!
  5. That is a cracking mark!
  6. Basic question. Going to the game If I want to sit near Demon supporters what’s the best sort of ticket to buy?
  7. I’ve just checked again Its still a practice game We are fine just need some small forward magic
  8. Fantastic read. Open and honest and forward looking. Club seem to be handling the PR side of things very well this season. A demon champion
  9. Can’t but think he’s made the right call. Farewell at our first home game I imagine
  10. I think it’s great if I was a young WA (or whatever) kid joining the Demons, and looked at how we cared for our potential Top 21 who in their late 20's had missed out through an everyman injury and bad luck, …. I would think … this is a good family, i can trust them, I'll stay with them And whats more, the guy can play
  11. That is a terrible decision He intended no harm, but he did not exercise due care. He should have known that jumping at a player running straight at him was very likely to result in that players serious injury. And he didn’t even smother the ball! The AFL has to appeal. It has to. If it wants to help its own defence against not doing enough to protect players from head injury, it must fight this. It must fight for the next payer running selflessly towards goal in the spirit of the game, as Brayshaw was. its not about whether it was a ‘dog act’ or a deliberate intent to harm, … it wasn’t. It’s about was it a tackle or smother that reasonably considered the well being of the other player. It was an excessively high risk move that could never have ended safely for Brayshaw I am very upset about this decision. It shows the decision makers are in a different world, a different time. Where is the AFL players association?
  12. Sam Frost Sorry, got my players mixed up, I mean Toby Greene!!!
  13. And his treatment back then was amputation across the mid foot! Thank heavens he isn’t our club doctor!
  14. I enjoyed that game In Binman I trust I can see what the coaches are doing. But even they must be surprised by how well the fwd line worked today PS I spent yesterday at a party with John Beckwith in the room. Not that he would have known I was there. I was too shy to give him a well done and a high five. He looked great. Ninety years and many more to come. Five winning grad finals, wow!!! Go Dees and thankyou to the podcast team. You help us understand what is going on Great win
  15. Exactly Geelong 21 Had the same emotion Amazing
