I figured out why we never warmed to Dempster

[Goose is king]

He cant smile. I don't ever recall seeing him happy.
If someone can find a photo of his teeth please post it for me.
As the boys walked into the race after the win he looked as though we had lost.
He was great in taking out Steve J and has made it hard for Bakes now even though Ross rates Bakes as very special.

I reckon Dempster's the shy, quiet, introverted type who struggles to maintain eye-contact with people and will probably see out his days as a reclusive hermit living in remote Northern Territory with nothing but a fridge and a pair of dumbbells so he can continue to work on his biceps.

And a premiership medal.

It'd be hard to raise a smile if you believed the majority of the club's fanbase doesn't warm to you and you're going to be dropped for Stevie Baker any moment.

I reckon he's been pretty good since he came over from the Swans (unexpectedly), admire that he just gets on with the job without any fanfare, or (it seems) support. He'd be in most club's starting 22, so he's no chump.

Others are bagging his Cats game.

Did his job and kept SJ quiet. Sure SJ got two goals, but one was undeserved free kick fora high tackle when he chose to run intoa player with his head down..

SJ does not like close checking players...and that is what Dempster can do. He can shut-down players.

A SJ left loose can snag 5...so well done the Demspter IMO.

He already has one so hopefully two

That was a shocking decision and seems to be a tactic by Geelong to go in low for the ball so they can draw the free

[LaUrEnCe]

Definitely played his role well. Whenever they showed him and SJ, he was just constantly focussed on him.

Which is exactly how to play SJ...

Does not like it hard.

If he ever had to play on Lenny he would s*** himself.

[goodie]

Has a bad habit of punching when he should take the mark, although he's not the only one.

[SainterK]

Anyone that doesn't back our guys, once selected, isn't worth worrying about....

I'm going to rise to the challenge and try and find a smile pic

[SainterK]

Best I could do was a half smile

[SaintDebi]

Lovely guy who had a shy smile when we met him at training. Now if you're looking for a miserable sad sack, have a look at Matthew Stokes who still manages to look sulky even when he does manage to crack a smile.

He's thinking: 'Yeah we just beat the cats in a final, but I know they'll still be bagging me on saintsational tonight...'

[noob]

that pic is at etihad though

[Goose is king]

I don't think anyone is bagging him at all, only praise.
I've never had any bad feelings towards him or his ability and cheer for him as a Saint but I just have not warmed to him as yet

[SainterK]

That's the point, I had to go back to 2008 to find a photo were Dempster looks at ease. Maybe he puts a lot of pressure on himself...

He's a battler, but he's disciplined and we're way too harsh on him.

And I hope he cracks a smile when we win the flag.

[Unforgiven]

Man of stone. I go to Uni with him, and he just sits their, on his own with this blank look on his face.

Each to their own, maybe he is so focused on his game (because the pressure is there and he is a fringe player, that he doesn't show much).

Just out of interest, if you don't mind answering, what course is that?

[Pwoit]

I think Sean Dempster is still dreading his return trip with the aliens so its quite obvious he cant draw a smile.

Well that at least made me smile.

So many peculiar things about him though:

He might play in 4 Grand Finals before he reaches 100 games despite never polling a Brownlow vote (and never really coming close)

He was unsighted during Autumn 2010

He doesn't smile

Anyone know if he has any close mates at the club?

This one cracks me up - Its probably the GF win and still cant smile

Not the GF win but the 06 Qualifying Final win by a point in which O'Loughlin kicked the winning goal. Dempster is not a footballer, he is a robot who is sometimes used inr Roos and Lyon coached teams' defences.
