The bookies have Demons $1.45 and Collingwood $2.79. They are not the underdogs

Demons were backed in against the Dockers and Swans to mr Rip...... telling you we are not the form team going in to this game.....Demons are not known for getting a win when there backs are to the wall....

 

I suggest we trade May north to the Swans for Isaac....end of the year, Swans well known for resurrecting careers that have stalled.....well in May it aint stalled its its just we'll....sitting at the bottom of a beer bottle....You can have his trouble making mate in Jake as a present as well....free...we give you pic 3 to take him....with pleasure.....

You ain't trading May Uncle Alex.

After Max, he's your most important player.

 

Swans don't need a key back anyway, they have the McCartin brothers.

 

I'm sure you'll bounce back.

Dear Rip.....its the beer talking....other wise he is a nice guy and leader at the club....shame he cant give up the amber during the season....think Simone is a little peed off finding out half a dozen men where out on the grog one evening last week...Hes pretty good at keeping it positive but the latest press interview seen Simon a little bit shaken i think.....

 

Pies creamed us this game last year.....Demons not known to bounce back when backs to the wall......you would think...but the mids are down....its just not May missing Big Tom is out for like 10 weeks.....worth his weight in plastic Tom is.....even not doing anything up forward or a run around the park takes a quality player with him where ever he goes....:yes are due fora loss too....lkike there nt that good are they.....but....history says a lot....even the Eagles would do us this weekend.....

We got the flag before i died.,......im happy......most teams dont go back to back......you see us Demon supporters are happy with not much....maybe im reincarnated in New Deli next time around....in 50 ys time......and be following the Rajasthan Eagles....playing out of Jaypur.,...i been there but all i seen were cows in the street....gees its a dirty country....slapped the back of an inter city busy seat on the wAy back to the Deli Tigers den and this big puff of dust formed in the bus....you would have though Jennie of i dream off Jennie was going to appear.....kiki bless her heart took it in her stride but i was blown away....

[Will27]

Well Gentlemen

The upset came in the last game of the round.

 

Some consolation for Alex as he gets the Fruit & Nut this week being closest to the margin.

 

No real changes to the ladder.

 

Until next time.

Competition at the top heating up.

I'm with ya FJ.

I thought Cox wade a Monty for it.

 

Thursday night footy should happen every round.

I also reckon if we're going to have the bye, just have one weekend off and get it over with.

[AlexRRR]

I dont even follow my own advice......did say the Pies beat us last year in this game....and were looking like a bunch of Indians wandering around a refuge dump, you know where my money is going in 2 weeks time.....

 

Naaaa to busy to sit and watch the game so i sneaked a peek at the scores....well ...thats it...Arividechi Roma.....was nice while it lasted....will keep my eyes on the micro shorts in Sin City as your driving around....well im just here to get the keys to the new joint....and get the renos going...once a builder you never stop you know.....

 

The BKK Beagles i will flow in future.....

 

Miss Caroline has written something about Simon and the presidents and tried to you know match it all up....like honey if you got some real inside dope spill it out other wise its fodder for the paper and hard core addicts who cant get enough of the politics of football....now i prefer the politics but she didnt say anything new and i couldnt see where she was going with it...and it was proven bullocks as we took home the cake....

 

My eyes are on Newcastle at least there going up.....and up .....and up....

[AlexRRR]

Well if it isnt enough that Demon May is a Devil when the amber fluid is around...now Jack Watts has bought into Fjs delima.....Horne-Francis affair....what was Archer thinking? Crows offered up 3 first round picks for there first over this kid....Gees one player dont make a team...just look AT THE EAGLES....they traded out the kitchen sinks well as draft picks over Kelly and look where they are now....Silly silly silly.....i would have wrapped the kid up in a gold blanket and delivered personally in an uber.....

 

Well Jack would know.....a 50 year struggler wrapped up as the golden goose and sits  him in our biggest game of the year in the hardest position to play in his very first game and bingo....destroyed....

 

Now lot here think Jack was well bombed.....i say he was miss managed and at any other club would have flourished....Hawks are well known for you to be in the 2s for a few years.....I recall some "big time players" starting on the wing...like Depierdomenico, a few other Hawks as well....a few Bombers, even Paul Roos started his career on  the wing...i was at his first game by the way....

 

Jack says get out and go home....i agree....North have missed the boat there going now where well there going to Hobart if they want them as there dooooooooooooomed dooooomed doomed....When a crook and criminal like Archer who had the bloundry re calibrated and moved so he wouldnt get a conviction over belting up a few umps and dads at the jr footy well that says something....well it was so he could get in and run North wasnt it.....this guy is running the Shinboners into the ground Mr Fj.....my old boss would be turning in his grave he was a North man.....

 

Just look at Paddy.....Saints had him in the forward line which frustrated Chooks to no end......well recorded here....now look at him....stopping everything coming his way....Pay Roos knew how to play him....Simple tried to get him back forward...well off to Port he went....they didnt know how to play him as well it turned out, what did i see in  Jack Watts? well Jake Bowie something like that 17 is the type of player jack Watts should have been and was playing that roll in a dudd team but across the centre....Jack was pretty quick, wasnt a tackler or bust open the pack type, he was an  outsider, mopping up very good mark and could take a contested mark and his main strength was pin point accuracy, he could land it on ur chest at 40meters out....Under Paul he played some pretty good games....unfortunately that number 1 tag was hung around his neck like a noose......in the worst football team ever the worst run football team of maybe forever....this was in his first few years where he should have been developed.....

 

Well May will give up the grog as its brought him undone a few times, the team will get there mojo back but not against the lions, i expect Steve to BOG against the Lions as hes got a lot of respect to regain....Simon needs to move on Mitch Brown, he aint the answer, can move on  Dark Magic too....like what are you keeping them for, Mitch is useless if he cant take a mark.....my thinking is play the Weed and find out if hes AFL level or cut end of year....I dont buy into that May out has been the issue.....we been traveling like a can of sardines all the way from Norway, on a sail boat, then you get two easy games where we took half a game to get going .....well we found the cat in  the room didnt we...well the cat pooooo that is.....Of course with some luck Choco could be the next demon coach no?

I'm hoping our Roo problems will be fixed with the new recruiters.

Wouldn't mind moving Noble on as well,plenty of coaches out there now.

Something is not right,players out of position and not showing any interest.

Gone backwards this year and unbearable to watch our forwards out manned at every contest.

 

Your Dees new the deal with May,remember when Campbell Brown broke his jaw on a trip.

Still i'd rather be in your shoes Alex,give Gawn as much time as he likes,Petracca needs a rest too.

You only really need to make the eight i think.

Sooooo sorry Mr Fj, whats going on at Rooland looks all very similar to me, Archer is taking you to the ground and fast, he is behind the scenes pulling strings....he will have to go....cut adrift on memory bliss.....sail off into the4 sunset and let the men run the club...

 

Hey if your Number 1 is looking to leave after half a season what have you got?

 

What was it......???? the fella who went off to the Gaints after 2 ys....number 1 pick at Demons, smart enough to know he was on a sinking ship took the 6 million and ran....Jackie silly boy stayed....

[AlexRRR]

Blue's Alex,yes thursday sneaks up on us this time of year.

 

Just wanted to mention a good touch on the front bar wednesday night.

The audience giving Peter Sumich a mini invasion,one of a few players who didn't get it after kicking 100 goals in a season.

Yea with a horrendous run home all top eight sides who we play twice apart from West Coast who is the only team outside we play.  Need at least 4 more wins to be a chance at finals.

[Will27]

Well gentlemen

That's it for the end of the bye rounds.

 

As you can see, our esteemed leader Scea gets the Cheery Ripes this week

for a sensational 5.

 

He's extended his lead and will take some catching from here.

 

Until next time.

 

 

[sceadugenga]

Possibly half of this weeks games could go either way on the betting, should be an interesting round.

[AlexRRR]

Thank you De Goofy for taking the spotlight off the happless Demons....We can now fly under the radar once again...

Uncle Alex will be a happy man today.

I see he went the reverse moz and picked against Melbourne.

 

When are Brisbane going to cop some heat?

They've finished top 4 in the last 3 seasons and have a finals record of 1-5.

This includes the Covid interrupted season of 2020 where they played pretty much all of their games in Brisbane.

 

Their record in Melbourne since the 2004 GF is 28 games for 4 wins.

 

A lot of interstate clubs get smashed in the media if they don't win away.

Reckon they're getting off lightly.

I reakon Brisbane got spooked by Melbourne's back line.

Normally they have the ability to throw it quickly on the boot and someone pops up out of nowhere to mark it.

Saying that i don't think they had a winner anywhere on the ground.

Petracca was back in form and Viney played out of his skin.

The Dee's back to being the hunted????

 

Get your loose change on the Roo's this week,have a feeling it's our last chance for the fredo frog this season.

I think Alex forgot to put his tips in. Away team with 0 margin

[Will27]

Well gang

That's it for another round.

 

Three picked 8 with Rip and FJ getting the Chokito's for being closest to the margin.

 

No change at the top but Scea's lead has been cut to two.

 

Until next week.

 

[sceadugenga]

Well picked the guys on 8, not a lot of straightforward selections there.

[AlexRRR]

Yes well flooding memories of days gone by.......gonna take a few years before im confidently past the doom and gloom of most of the last 55 years........and by then the race would have been run and well you know back in the middle of the bunch...and looking nice in red and blue....

 

Well the last time we won a flag we won something like 8 straight then that was it....didnt even make the finals in that second year....so you know...

 

Hey...only just last year if you had of said to me your going to buy a condo in sin city and n SUV i would have said you got rocks in your head....see what a flag can do....

 

Beach for my nose is why i bought in Sin city....the Mazda...yes Fj, well Honda reneged on my delivery date with no end in sight to the chip shortages dam Putin......and them fellas up north.....jumped on a website and second car i looked at was well a crossover a more polite word for smaller SUV, 3 weeks old red plates still 400ks....i won the flag again and 160,000 off new car price....CX 30 in case you need to know parked undercover down stairs...bit flash inside men....got all the tech the DMax has....and in Pie colours....white with black elsewhere....talk about striking it lucky.....i like white especially in Beach weather country....

 

I should be back on the ball till the end of the season.....the Demons smashed the Lions....and the grunt came from the trio of Viney Oliver and Petracca....this time they were doing useful things like hitting them hard and putting the ball to good purpose....i did say the middle of the ground was where they had dropped off....

 

Anyway Goodwin is a rock solid coach....doesnt winch a bit....wonder if someone will come in and offer him a deal to jump the fence......he would likely get an extra 5 ys on the job on top $ before hes found out....wops i mean when the walls come crashing down....Anyway Surprise surprise the Will household would be should be in good spirts this week......

[Will27]

I missed this one when it first came out.
A $1000 fine, now $1500 for ripping a blokes headband off!

Seems the AFL want the characters out and robots in.
 

Hawk’s headband fine upheld

Hawthorn’s James Sicily has failed in his bid to overturn a charge of misconduct for ripping off Bulldog Aaron Naughton’s headband during the third quarter of their clash last round.

The AFL originally offered Sicily a $1000 fine with an early plea. However, the 27-year-old defender decided to submit a written submission to challenge it.

But the charge was upheld on Wednesday, resulting in an increased fine of $1500.

The two players engaged in a tussle during the game at Marvel Stadium on Friday, which left Naughton with a ripped guernsey and his headband yanked off.

Anyone who can remember the great interstate games of the 60s will recall Neil Kerley, former SA captain and five times state league premiership coach, sadly killed in a car accident today at the age of 88.

 

A popular tale of when he was coaching was that on Friday nights he would warn players of the dangers of sapping their strength with sex the night before the game with a loud "...and keep off your bl##dy knees".

Apparently the players were not too concerned because it was agreed that "Kerls" was so square he only knew of the missionary position.
