well i dunno about winning the game but i reckon if you live in melb and dont go to every home game you can , well you should be taken out and raped by a gang of smelly bikies !

Well maybe a few more will come to see Couch's debut. At least crowd numbers will be boosted some more with his family turning out.

I hate ES but will be there tomorrow - keen to look at Couch and cheer on Brad Green. Not sure how many times we will get to see him again. Always loved his dedication.

That must be hard having a wife who loves the pies old dee.

My wife was an Essendon fan but i told her that if she wants to have kids or get married and not have our honeymoon in frankston that she must be a demon.

Now we are married and have 2 little demon members.

You are lucky - I married a Collingwood supporter who tried that tactic with me. He failed miserably but I still married him. To his credit, he takes out a Melbourne membership each year to support the club and will come with me when we play Carlton and wear my spare Melbourne scarf!

Actually BIG JIM she is pretty good not a mad Pie.

Has no Tats, all her teeth, has not been in jail and can count to 100 .

She genuinely feels sorry for me when I trudge home every week and throw my 2010 scarf in the corner and head for the single malt.

Mate rang me tonight and said are we going tomorrow?

Couch is playing his first game lets have a look.

So the tally just went up by two.

Not sure if it was that or the fact he said " if it gets too horrible we can always watch it from the bar"

Bit annoyed to find that the reserved seat option - advertised by the club a few weeks ago at $17 - has jumped to $25 on the Ticketmaster website, which becomes more than $31 when you add in the booking / handling fee!

Booking fee - I fxxx-ing printed the bloody thing myself !!

Not sure why you need a reserve seat there will be thousands to chose

Don't like being behind the goals / in the pocket
