I think we lost the ability to get that because Vince belted someone, then Lewis and Hogan, Salem. Feel like I'm forgetting one more haha. Plus Buggs just a dick hole but yeah no one seems to have noticed we are playing without the first 2 players picked in most sides positionally
Mike Sheehan said it, but that's about it. To be honest though, I'd rather it be quiet so the players don't get ahead of themselves. Also, it is kind of a compliment. We've finally reached the promised land of mid table mediocrity, where people think we're good enough to cover the odd key player missing half a season.

We know how well we've done without key players, that's all that matters.

So Mrs 475 bought me a FC Barcelona jacket while she was in Spain. It's red and blue (the red closer to the Cam Schwab-era red than the bright red) as they are Barca's colours. I brought it back from Europe with me.

I've worn it to both games.

We've won both.

I think I'm wearing it to every game now.

Could not have said it better, even in my own genius prose.

Let's not be Richmond ok.

I gotta say it's great having 3 or 4 podcasts each week done by our fans (original deespodcast, deebrief, deetales), i listen to them all. Especially love the old player interviews.

Time to start getting used to Upper Echelon Equality! The not too distant future is approaching faster than we anticipate.

Just whipped this up for people to reference when you hear people saying "about time they're good with all the first rounders in their team".

Barely any players picked with our own first round picks played on the weekend:

Bugs (Trade)

Frost (Trade)

Garlett (Trade)

Hannan (46)

Harmes (Rookie)

Hibberd (Trade)

Hunt (57)

Jetta (51)

Jones (12)

Lewis (Trade)

Oscar (53)

Tom (53)

Melksham (Trade)

ANB (40)

Oliver (4)

Pedersen (Trade)

Petracca (2)

Salem (9)

Tyson (Trade involving pick #2)

Vince (Trade)

Viney (26) FS

Watts (1)

*Didnt highlight Jones as a first rounder as I'm pretty sure people don't accuse us of tanking for him back in 2005..

I would count Viney, Port bid for him with pick 7. But nicely done. Obviously we have Hogan to come in and hopefully Weideman really comes along, but long term that's only 8 players you'd really expect to be part of our best 22 (hopefully 9 with Brayshaw). Collingwood for example would definitely have more. We've done really well to recruit our ruck(s) and defenders exclusively from outside the first round.

When people say all the first rounders we've had it's just a lazy throwaway line. The truth is everyone gets a first rounder. The only extra first rounders we've had is in 2009 & Scully doesn't even play for us anymore & the Frawley comp in 2014 which got us Brayshaw. Other clubs have received first round compensation before yet we are always highlighted. Tyson & Salem was smart trading & shouldn't be held against us. Yes our first rounders are usually high picks but that is what happens when you are shit.

Perhaps they think it was a fiendish plan all along to be so bad for a decade that we became 1st round millionaires. So rich with 1st rounders that we could burn some of them and not care. The masses are turning on us. I like it.

This makes me so happy. That look of pity people have given me for 20+ years when I tell them I'm a dees supporter. I hate it.
Or "well I've got a bit of a soft spot for Melbourne".
No.
I don't want to hear it. I want to be loathed. I want the complaints of the oppositions supporters to be drowned in my own sea of arrogance. The hitting the slopes gags were lame 20 years ago but I'm beginning to revel in them because they've got nothing.
The Collingwood post game carry on has me motivated to become that indignified cock head supporter that I have always dreamed of being.
It's my time to shine.
