Another wasted year for the Demons.

Out in straight sets twice now.

 

16.28 in two games ain't going to win you too many finals.

 

Schache as sub was a strange one.

Back up for Gawn but why not sub out McDonald and give him a run?

 

They need to do everything in the off-season to get a key forward.

 

We are eyeing off Jack Darling.....now that theres no need for corvid shots...

Exciting game of footy last night.

Ended up being an almost year for your boys Alex.

Can't say they didn't give their all,Simon just needs to get the right finisher's up front.

 

Voss wasn't going to go down wondering with Acres,McGovern and Kemp the deepest three forwards with the match winning goal.

 

Look forward to tonight to see what Port and GWS sides turn up.

It was "Born Under a Bad Sign" mr Fj, if we "didnt have bad luck we would have no luck at all"....so Jack Bruce would say.

The worst thing about loosing last night is Blues supporters will think they're in with a chance next week....Gees they were beaten for 99 minuets last night...talk about Norm Smiths Curse resurfacing.....naaaa he loves us all.....I hope...

Well the talk has turned to thunder, BIG foot in mouth, ( head sways from side to side) what was that you say? what? who? Ho!!!! signed on for 2 more years? Really?

Look we can't blame Simon can we? nooooo it was our forward coach, ex Tiger and Swan Stafford doing the dirty deed, easy path way for Brodie to go to harbour town....was a hack ruckman if my memory serves me right...so id like to know how he got to be forward line coach?

IDC...I don't care, 3 ys we been playing that forward line the same way, even longer maybe...

Anyway Brodes didnt set the world on fire at the G RIP.....think he's a long way from that million $ deal he signed a few years ago but better than what you had, like I watch all the games and I can tell you first hand none of us Demon supporters knew what they were doing with Grundy, did they give it a chance to work? no I don't think so, with rotations finding them 2 on the bench at different times kinda hard to spot in the forward line for than 5 min a quarter.....ho impact you say....(half jokingly)....

Spargo is in so that means 2 good games and a respectable one coming up assuming we get that far...Tomlinson? he is a bit loose but we need the height in the backline, they should give this guy a decent run you know....and Jordan, all the dud teams like North are chasing him...another Spargo type but lacks Spargo's class...think we call him the everywhere man, been playing back line, mid, wing and even wingman on a mission for the Indians on the way to the moon....why would you offer him a contract?

Well I feel a lot better knowing Martin is out.....he cut us up last time...GWS to stick it up Port.....have the experience and form to do it...sim salsa bin larden.....

I agree with Kane Cornes, but not on the Maynard issue, Demons need to think ouside of the box, Time for Grundy to take over number 1 ruck, Gawn to now go forward entire game against the Blues, I would add that there not meant to be any closer than 50 meters from each other, from here its my thinking, Grundy to play across the centre and defence, Gawn to play wing to wing and that traditional centre half forward role, Tom MacDonald full forward, Pertracca 70% forward 30% in the middle, Picket to start each quarter in the centre, he normally has blinders where doing this, Smith? back to medical sub, great when he comes on second half, not effective when he gets the entire game on the ground, be looking for runners to come in, Tell Max to handball to his runners rather than his blindly kicking it forward, and off course, stop bombing it in, Forwards to take some of the backmen for runs get that forward line uncongtested, make some god dam leads and look for them, Blues to good in the air and twice as many talls and in top form, yup need to think outside of the box a bit ...well think half the planet thinks like me...recon I could make a half decent line coach there?

But knowing how Goodwin thinks and his side kicks they will likely bring in one of the dud talls we have prob Josh Schache played about 2 games I will turn off the telly if he's playing...wont get a kick...Harry Petty on crutches would do a better job, just Grundy Simon, we know he can play, Max forward its a no brainer, small running forward line to either feed off crumbs or be quick enough to stop the Blues scramble it out,......simple I thinks...by the way that Rhalp think he writes for the Sun is a dick....

I can help with the NFL streaming.

 

NFLBite.com

 

Completely free.

Thanks, I will look into it, I do expect for DAZN to get there act together by playoff time, pretty sure the NFL are not impressed and would run the risk of having there 10 Billion $ contract terminated...

Agoda most likely, they own most of the other companies as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booking_Holdings#:~:text=Booking Holdings Inc. is an,Agoda.com%2C Kayak.com

The name of the booking.company is I JUST SAID IT, here and in original post, 5 ys of breaches and its all over the net, of course didnt know until I went searching once they shut down communication, like I said they did it to me over a problem I had with an Indian hotel, go silent, customer service for issues is piss poor.....and yeah they own Agoda and a number of other booking platforms, unfortunately the hire car was paid when I booked, 6 hotels were booked with free cancellation, one I rebooked with a digital card as I couldn't find anything close that I liked in that city, and one in Istanbul is pay at hotel the other so im keeping that booking the other 4 cancelled and booked through a company not associated with the above mentioned, but these breaches are happing to many of these hotel booking platforms including the one im now using, the trick is book as late as you can and use a digital card then freeze and delete later.

What's an Apple mini? 

 

Apple is your problem. 

 

You should buy a very fast CPU motherboard COMBO. 

 

Then, just run Windows 10,11, or any good Linux distro. 

 

If you do this, you will never touch an Apple, again. 

 

 

Apple Mac Mini M2, (2 weeks old) software update threw it out, typical Apple who don't own the issues and could take 6 months to fix, IStudio told me to bring it in and they will have a look, fingers crossed.

And no no more windows pcs mate, ran them for years spent more on repairs and getting windows reinstalled than service 2 cars in that 10 year period...I do have a windows gaming laptop that was only ever turned on to play one game but with the Mac mini no longer need it, not going to thrash windows but the proof is since 2011 I have owned a iMac 9 ys never ever a problem daughter has had it last 2 ys same same, 2017 macbook pro, never ever an issue, unfortunately Apple and there updates are going sideways certainly got that twice in my phones, hardware wise they don't break down unlike my  now departed Dell laptop...

Do you feel better now?

Yes, the rest of the Weekend was great.....hahaha

Talk about getting hit for 6, a cricket term for the non Commonwealth members, like we are in a world of you pay us and we deliver a service to you, pushing us online so they can hide easily, at least in Australia the provider provides a service you pay for it and your meant to get your moneys worth.

Lets start with a booking hotel company no names but I just said it, they with a number of affiliates control id think more than 50% of hotel reservations, booked 6 hotels mainly in Europe plus a hire car, well there was a data breach 2 weeks ago hackers email me through the booking company's app of the first hotel I booked telling me a story about verifying my account by clicking on a link that takes you out of the app fill in your payment details with the promise of a refund once verified, contacted the hotel and the booking company to confirm that there had been a breach, well lets say the hotel owned up but the booking company just advised me to change my password and went silent, never to reply to any emails over this particular breach again, meanwhile several days later find my credit card had been compromised, we can't be sure who got breached but its all over the net that that particular booking company has been targeted constantly over 5 ys and they still to improve there Sercurity, between links, phishing emails and credit card fraud nothing seems to have been done...This same hotel booking co I had issues with 12 ys ago in India, replied twice then a total ignore....as they're doing now, I didnt use them for years but you know how it is....Im in the process of rebooking hotels through a different company with hopefully no links with that one, anyway one good thing that came out of it I learned about the digital/virtue card, pay freeze and delete get a new one...simple....

A Pattaya internet provider....every evening 6 out of 7 nights it gets to be a struggle to airplay, sometimes the net is slow on the pc, had them out 3 times changed the router...same same but no different, again take to the net...there well known for this sort of thing...anyway its not costing me the earth when contract is up look for hopefully a better provider...

Bought a new Mac mini m2....2 weeks ago....doesnt work like my MacBook, won't airplay at all....well it did before the new ios update, plus a few other things, honestly the worst thing that happened to Apple was Steve Jobs death, don't what ever you do upgrade your iOS when the new one comes out, I recall one year 5 months of drama with my phone....patiently waiting for an iOS update for the Mac mini.....

Streaming NFL, well shock horror Gameplay was sold to some new company, another one who fobs you off or feigns that they don't understand you, again they took your money super pronto and theres a lot of unhappy people who have voiced there displeasure in forums like Reddit over being billed when they did not have the renew button set as well as folks who only bough the one show or limited shows from this particular company found that they been charged a full subscription to Gameplay, but to top it off the actual stream during the preseason games was a disaster, lot of people including me had trouble watching it, this company chat box specialist was a head f*** trying to get them to understand me, later emailed them same same, not address any of my issues, never the less id half expected they would get the stream and content right by game one......hahahah well the first half last night was fine, airplay from iPad, the quality was ok needed to adjust the telly settings to make it look better, content was fixed up, second half? unwatchable.....7000B payed to stream NFL, im sure they will fix it.......eventually....but in 2023 if the Indians can land a craft on the moon what's wrong with the rest of the planet?

And last......yesterday 30 min on call waiting to my AU bank, long distance of course, thanks booking company for the aggravation, got a dill (dill means a fool) on the other end for 10 min, as she moved me to the next person to speak to cut me off....phoned back no human, left on call waiting with annoying messages for 1 hr and 45 min....... hung up before I got too frustrated that id throw myself off the balcony....

Well one more.....Netflix moved the download button.....like how do you find the stuff you download to watch off line? checked this morning to watch on pending flights.....search the net....same same, some have it others can get it by reinstalling the app etc and other no can get anything....like a few poor guys were taking flights to find they had no access to there downloaded shows, honestly......the TGF cant understand why we farangs get moody over crap like this, her simple answer is don't watch ....dont subscribe, but she can sit on tick tock all evening for entertainment.....and be entertained.....Well that's may rant, I do expect better especially if im paying...

Brodie Grundy activated 10 min into the last quarter, kicks the winning goal after the siren.......

A fortune teller once told me......good book by the way, and no it never came true...he lived but it helped he didnt fly for a year just went everywhere by boat...so maybe it was true?

Hot off the press, just heard big Max who's a Friday regular on Thripple M footy show when asked about the Grundy quagmire, said BG is on a 5 year deal, that sound like they will give up after one season? 

Not going to Swans....or Port....or anywhere....but hey I don't care.....You wanna pay me a million a season and play @ Casey? no worries mate.....

Here you are Fj to make sure you don't fall to stone bottom last I'm giving you my tips for the weekend.....Pies

Sorry Alex you have the 3rd lowest margin.  FJ  is ths margin champ with one round to go. You had better put those glasses on when you read the comps ladder board. You may get to 2nd after this week. Have a great round tipping.

Took you a week?

A

West Coast has a habit of backing in their coaches.

3 of the last 4 were pretty much 10 year coaches.

 

Uncle Alex, you wanted to sack Goodwin 5 minutes after your premiership.

 

You could have Barrassi, Jeans and Clarkson there and they wouldn't do any better

with out injury list over 2 years. Continually have 7 or 8 first starters out.

 

Collingwood lose Daicos and Moore and people write them off and that's just 2.

 

Look at the injury list.

 

https://www.afl.com.au/matches/injury-list

 

3 of the tops sides have hardly had an injury all year.

That's why they're top 3.

 

WC still have 8 to 9 first starters out.

Also don't need to spend 5 to 6 million (super tax included) of paying Simmo out.

Give him 1 more year and reassess.

 

I have a feeling the board will succumb to media pressure unfortunately and sack him.

 

Melbourne are paying about $750 000 per year to have Grundy going around in the Magoo's.

It's not working.

 

It was a bad move by Grundy and his management to go to Melbourne in the first place.

He wants to be number 1 ruck and he won't be before Gawn.

 

Reckon he will be at Sydney or Port next year.

He won't be at Melbourne.

 

Collingwood still on the hook for the $250 00 so a new club will have to stump up about the same as Melbourne $750 000.

Melbourne will probably ask and get a seconder rounder for him.

 

Anyway, that's it from me.

Go norf!

 

 

 

 

 

We beg to differ an Grundy but...if they do trade him out there's egg all over them fellas faces, as for Pies continuing to top up Grundys contract it surely would end if we move off him which would mean he has to take a pay cut...Dees won't top it up I'm dam sure....You all forget Max is 32 soon, to move off BG would be a mistake, plenty of guys played the last few years forward to prolong careers, anyway IDC

I hear you on Simpson but honestly the very bad results don't bode well for him, like let him coach another season sounds intelligent but its supporters both through the gate and sponsors who need appeasing IDC but his body language stinks half the time, looks like death walking, its not trail by media its trial by results and no one gives an F about the injury list after 2 ys of crap...been through it, as for sacking Goodwin....yeah I'm not a fan of his resume, some really simple mistakes like blooding no one not a single soul in 2022, falling off the planet after a charge into the finals when WCE killed us, putting 15 guys under the knife same time, I read someone said Simons been getting better as a coach, well I think that's true to a point, anyway I decided to jump off the negative and back the dude, chop and changing is counter productive, lets see if he can deliver another flag by the time his 10 ys are up...fingers crossed..

Thanks Alex explained very well but Grundy will probably move next year. Hopefully the Swans. I think the Dees have stuffed him around too much

It's trail by media.....a media push on Grundy, don't make sense that they didn't have a bigger picture of how Mr Grundy would fit into the team....like even a blind bat can see Simpson has to go but honestly the maths is Gawn is 32 in Dec takes longer to get over injuries not so dominate in most games any longer can play forward, Ben Brown is likely to be a two bit replacement when his knee isn't playing up, nahhhh id be surprised if Brodie goes anywhere, them dills even think we would get a first rounder for him, now we know pigs fly....Brodie number 1 ruckman for the Demons next year, Max will become a pinch hit ruckman playing forward...recall Gutnick? he's a Jew, we got a lot of jews on the board, they love a bargain, Pies are topping up Brodie's pay by around 250,000$ a season till dooms day, do ya think they gonna give that up? Let alone top up Brodies pay if he jets off into the nether? 

Don't think any of them so called clubs circling are going to pay Mr BG 950,000 to 1M over the next 4 ys mr and you can bet your bottom dollar Demons won't top up his pay because if he leaves us Pies are off the hook and since Demons and Pies are traditional foes we are going to make them pay every last penny.......and BG won't take a pay cut...other wise he would have stayed at Pieland.

One round to go.

Rip will admit our campaign in the fantasy was below par,well Rip fared better than me.

Can Alex climb off the bottom in the tipping,i'm nervous this week.

Bob Murphy wants a gay player at Freo,Matilda's having some clout.

Hardwick to Gold Coast,more of the same there.

Would love to see Eagles and North win this week,not that it matters as still getting over us taking Will Phillips instead of Logan McDonald a couple of years a go.

Good luck to those in the finals after the weekend.

 

 

 

 

You dont have to worry about me finnishing any higer than stone motherless last sir, i want to feel how you often feel sir, a new experiance it is, ho and i think its amazing i wont the tipping 3 out out off 24 times and have the lowest margin and still comes last......By the way i am lobbying for Will to have a handicap of at least 5 for next season....10 would be better...
