"AFL great backs ‘real deal’ Demons to contend for flag after perfect start to 2021"

Sub editor really struggling to find a headline over at Fox footy. ...... Automatically thought......hmmm, AFL great, G.Lyon? Someone even greater. .....? Leigh Matthews, Dermie or Dunstall? KB, Royce or Francis?

So they got me in and I clicked on the link......... https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...g/news-story/cf21a0d1ac5f597cdcb553dd0f2dd0fe ......:rotfl1:rotfl2:clap1

Simpson was a good player, always liked him despite being a blue-bagger

Just on Rabblebourne... low-profile president Glen Bartlett is allegedly being pushed out in favour of a female replacement. Not sure what's going on there.

Pies or Cats will be seriously considering this option. ... fits age demographic.
Says he'd do it if the team was contending.
If Bachar's calves play up I reckon he'd be worth a look. Very good player right till the end, and says he's ready to go. And I think he'd know his body.

Obviously seen what a great job Peggy has done. I expect to hear in the next few days that Goodwin is dating a junior staffer and the HUN will have photos of them walking the dog in Elwood. Petracca will run out this week covered in tatts and will appear in a TV ad for Tradie jocks.

Hah hah hah hah. Dudbourne. FFS. Do people ever learn anything ? They've sharpened up their ball movement (which has been terrible the last few years), but they've got little to nothing up forward and are almost exclusively relying on short kicks to small forwards to kick a score. That's got a limited future - especially against well co-ordinated backlines.

Spargo, Neal-Bullen, Jones, Sparrow, Langdon, Tomlinson, Jordon ....and others. Please, give me a break.

Mark Williams being feted as the catalyst behind Melbourne's turn around. Pretty sure the real success at Richmond didn't start until after we sacked him.

Back in 2017 when we started the season with 5 wins for the first time since ‘95 hardly anyone said we were any good. In fact the common refrain was that we hadn’t beaten anyone of quality. Weird how they’re salivating over Egobourne.

Well hopefully after they go 5-0 this week we can bring them back down to earth on ANZAC Eve with a thud.
