Ahh...what a season! Went overseas just after the midway point of the season and it started splendidly. We thumped the ladder leading Saints by 10 goals and enjoyed another 3 weeks of listening to wins at ridiculous hours of the morning in Internet cafes. Came back just in time for 5 losing games.

Tuned in at a good time. It seems players did everything better back then. Picking the ball up cleanly in greasy conditions, none of this fumble fest we see these days. Players using both feet really well. A much better spectacle than today.

Johnstone for me too. Both extremely talented but when on song TJ is probably my favourite ever Demon. FWIW, I attended a QLD Demons function back in 2012-13 prior to a Suns game and TJ turned up as a guest speaker. One comment I remember and found interesting from his speech was that in his opinion the team he played in back then would have won at least one flag with better facilities.

The bloke from Adelaide Oval cheering all our goals?

Saturday Best Caulfield Race 8 No.5 Wild Planet (W) $3.00 I noticed WA has all 3 types racing today. Can’t recall if they’ve raced on Good Friday previously.

Neale Daniher.

Lewis is not wrong. Mt Disappointment well and truly lives by its name.

Does James Cook qualify? Only the two and a bit games due to injury. A bit of a what if. He looked like an absolute bargain pickup for us in season 2000 if his goal tally was anything to go by in the first 2 rounds.

Have a feeling we might be seeing the Cam McCarthy toe poke that stitched us up late in R4 of 2017.

Didn’t play many games for us but was always told Greg Doyle went by ‘Donkey’.

Don’t know MFM but stumbled across some news sort of related to Red Bull this morning....

No problem at all Andy. Thanks again for all your hard work.

4 points massive if we get them today. We will be going 2-0 after next week.

At the least words of encouragement can go a long way to helping all in need. You can see the rally on this fantastic thread already. Best wishes to everyone on here and their families.

From a football perspective one of the best parts is anticipating a response from the team the week after a loss. We now have to wait 10 weeks that’s if everything returns to normal. Each to their own, I would have preferred a few more samples before judging them too harshly.

One more rule change please. Reduce the last quarter to 6 minutes.

In the same boat Wise, hope the traffic on here continues for a while even if it’s just to give someone a bit of a smile for a few seconds.

If the above is accurate and some of our players are unwell and vomiting I hope the club has taken appropriate steps to get the game called off. I think this a little different from eating a slightly dodgy burrito the night before.

Looking like schools in Vic will be shut from Tuesday too.

There’s a nice little clip of the boys watching the last seconds of the game. Having trouble posting it, it’s definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it.

Can’t believe they almost took Perkins off with a few minutes to go when it was clear her contested work was keeping the ball locked into our attacking 50.

Oh wow....come on!!!!

Had the same thoughts when they decided to go ahead with the season D_J. I’m glad some are getting enjoyment out of it so far, I’m just left confused every time I read an AFL article and how new protocols are in place after a game. Avoid unnecessary touching after exchanging sweat for 2 hours? Maybe i just simply need to watch our team again to get back to normality.

Are others struggling with this? The game is disintegrating rapidly.

Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share.
