So who is going to the game this weekend (you know, that thing we do when we are not obsessing about bananas ... ??)

I am not mate have not seen you for sometime.

I am in the kill zone not attending major public gatherings until vaccinated which with the current rapid rate is probably July.

It is hard to plan these things became of border closures. Our leader is very protective and antivirus. 

Hard but not impossible .... it is a long way to the 'G for you though DF!

All good OD. I sort of lost interest in following the Dees last year, and have only had my enthusiasm renewed by the new season and the prospect of witnessing a game in person (and the first one at the 'G, and on a Saturday afternoon, which is like a siren call to me).

I understand the desire to stay safe at home and out of the way of the Virus-that-shall-not-be-named. That bloody thing is more infectious than the Dee's inability to kick straight ...

First game at the G since Queens birthday 2019. I was so demoralised with our season I didn’t go to another game after that.

Looking forward to spending a Saturday afternoon in the G, sun shining, enjoying a few beers and hopefully a Dees win. It’s been too long.

Hopefully we can start the season with a win. Don’t want to be dropping a game at home, first up, against a middle of the ladder side the year before. Need those 4 points.

Ratcheting it up for what is the first game of the season. Wrong psychology Red. You should be saying it’s ok to drop the first game, let’s wait until mid season.  Freo is a good side that is likely to turn it on with speed and overlap. We can’t expect to win the first game. It’s a long season and we take each game and remain detached until the season gets serious. 

Meditate Red.

No doubt that will be good for you but to be brutally  honest it won’t make a fig of difference to the result.

Not at all as I said will be good for you but as your long experience has shown the Dees will do there normal thing.

If we have come to meditating in the hope that it will affect the result then all is lost Ernest.

Unripe bananas can give you constipation. It’s a well known fact.

I do not know the (somewhat strange) references to and history of bananas on this site, but I've just come across this (for me at least) interesting fact about bananas:

Bananas are both a fruit and not a fruit. While the banana plant is colloquially called a banana tree, it's actually an herb distantly related to ginger, since the plant has a succulent tree stem, instead of a wood one. The yellow thing you peel and eat is, in fact, a fruit because it contains the seeds of the plant.

Watching the Dees kick for goal will fix that!

but bad for the heart

There should only be a one round season in 2021. That way we can play in the finals again!

Blair Campbell, who enjoyed a brief spell with us in the late sixties (before my time) was credited with inventing the banana-kick.

Not a renowned exponent of the fine art Ed Langdon executed his banana-kick perfectly on the weekend. Struggling to think of other examples in recent times of other Dees players doing the same.

Yes and he did it on the run which is not easy. 
the Wiz and Yze could execute the banana quite well.

True but its been a while since the Wix and Yze ran around for us. I guess it demonstrates the paucity of talent we've had in recent times.

It works.

My AFL fixture is not syncing to my calendar on my IPhone.

I can't work it out. Any ideas?
