Imagine if Maynard was Kozzie Pickett and Angus Brawshaw was Nick Daicos.

Enjoy the game everyone. Would be amazing to take a big scalp but I'm more focused on the performance and how the gameplan stacks up more than the result today. It's an exciting time.

I’m not even slightly worried about tonight. We’ll kick ‘em into the middle of next week! My irrepressible confidence is partly attributed to Goody’s presser (5%) but largely because I’m delusional (95%). GO YOU MIGHTY [censored] DEES! 💙❤️💙🥳💙❤️💙

I actually think the argy bargy will be on in the crowd Kings Birthday, never seen our supporters so incensed about an issue. One of the reasons I'll be coming down from NSW . We should make as much noise as possible.

Two words: replacement [censored] buses. Yep, it’s our train line’s lucky weekend. 🤬 Allow plenty of extra time and a truckload of patience, coz you’re gonna need it. Same for going home afterwards. Heads up, @Rab D Nesbitt!

Curiously, his is adjectival!

Yeah but carlton fans pay out on us & both teams have over 100,000 members

Was the MFC still a 'sporting section' of the MCC at this time? Perhaps the MCC library may have some records.

Want to see a statement tonight, Have had plenty of of time to look at them last week , get the matchups right, set the press. 2022 too banged up, 2023 too many forwards injured, Swans game too hot Brisbane game too tired, Tigers first half terrible. No more reasons/excuses get the job done Demons.

Bob, that's fantastic, thanks for sharing!

Dangerfield being out gives Melbourne a real chance tonight. Carn the Dees!

so

I haven’t watched any Geelong games this year but Blicavs has been effective previously

What a damming stat that is, 1 in 5 turn their life around. At least they are talking about putting more funds into prevention. Especially when we are school aged. I would love to see therapeutic workshop areas as popular as the corner store. Not just dealing with DV, but all issues in our lives. There are more than 300 types of mainstream psychological theories, with numerous personal development programs stemming from them. Find and search for the correct approach where you and your intimates benefit. I suggest a bit of reading then jump in, with a kind of trial and error approach. Make it on your volition, really don't want the court orders as that means something has gone out of your hands, very likely self unrecognised, and family dynamics have spiralled far away from 'normal', into unsafe places. Therapy is best when I acknowledge my need to change and I reach out for help.

You are correct in that surnames are proper* nouns but that doesn't apply to my team. They all share a surname with an actual thing, an object in real life. * Yours is probably improper.

88,500 is still a big crowd for a Friday night.

Was at the MCG last night. Other than the first quarter, Collingwood out tackled, out pressured a fairly listless Carlton. Quite simply the Pies were hungrier, wanted it more and Carlton had too many passengers. The worst performance by the Blues this season and amazingly still only lost by one late goal (mostly due to the goals of McKay and Owies). If the Blues bring that level of intensity on Thursday the Dees will win. I think McGovern is back for next week so perhaps a bit more stability in defence might be seen for the Blues. Still, I think the Blues are playing better than last season at the same time and being competitive and a chance to win even when not switched on.

Can't stand Geelong, their ridiculous jumper and dunghole stadium. A repeat of 2021 would make my month. Go Dees.

This is going to sound strange because I know we don't pull the crowds, but I was surprised they didn't get at least 90,000 last night

We cannot be defensive about this. The "they made me do it", is the wrong angle. Have dysfunction in your relationships, get help. Heal the situation while you still can, before it may spiral, do it for you and most importantly the damaging effect and distress on the kids. Being a better partner, by using various forms of strategies, and counselling can only assist us in being better people to be around. Life lessons that are useful throughout the journey, you may find greater peace, love, and freedom from conflict by addressing the dysfunction. Your intimates pay the price if we don't get the help, men or women within the storm. The Gendered approach is in response to the current social issues movement being addressed in the media by a ground swell of many saying, the violence has to stop, and how can we help.

Surnames are always nouns.

I agree in part Demons1858. The LGBT community experience FV at a higher percentage than the straight community. It’s men on men and women on women, and I include the Trans community as higher rates of FV.. Elder abuse is another area in which children (as adults) inflict abuse on their elderly parents. But, women are dying at an alarming rate. The focus on gender is an open door to discuss other less known areas but keep the focus on what should never be accepted. People dying at the hands of their family members. Just on this, I work with an organisation who has a large FV program across the eastern states. Men Behavioural Change programs are proven to be unsuccessful. Less than 20% of perpetrators change their behaviour. Alarming!

Yes thrillseekers, all the players in my team share their surname with the name of something. In other words, all their surnames are also nouns. I've got another teaser ready to go but I'll give them a rest for now.

Good point 1858. In my 38 years in the workforce the only certain DV that I knew about was a bloke called PG. He was jockey sized & an alcoholic. His much larger wife would come in at lunchtime on payday to grab his cheque. PG would often come in with black eyes & mumble about walking into doors.

NGA doesn't work for Vic clubs, AFL make it too hard.
