I'm thrilled for Tracc but i won't be here also. Last minute packing for Europe as i type. Do they sell dongles in Prague? Then there's the coverage!?? :unsure:

I picked up a case of the dongles last time I was in Prague. Nasty.

What about your good self Mable?

Will you be wearing some sort of national costume? Beads? Grass skirt?

I was thinking of going with some plaid and one of those mountie hats, Pharrell-style.

Patracca named on the bench. Do you start him on the ground or do you hold him back on the bench and, if so, for how long?

Personally, I would hold him back til the game has settled a bit and the supporters have settled into their seats and then let him go 5mins into he game.

I will be getting up early over here to watch the live streaming on AFL Global.

No, I am sure moonie doesn't, but Bitter and Biffen definitely will. At least you could have found some more fashionable.

dc I believe that fine strap on number is popular in the private boxes at Darklands Stadium, usually accompanied by a dummy and warm milk.

I like the way that Roos enjoys telling the young players about their first match and the way the club puts the video up. it is great to see their reaction.

I just hope that when Trengove gets his chance they do the same. I am sure it would give Roos a similar amount of pleasure to be able to tell him his hard work over the years has paid off and I, for one would love to see Jack's reaction.

A terrific story has just come to light about a young boy from Hobart with muscular dystrophy who follows the Demons ,and Petracca ,when he saw him at training took hm around to all the boys and took him on a tour of aami park had lunch with the boys and got Hogan to autograph a pair of his boots to give to him.

Doesnt stop there as Petracca became friends with the lad on social media and kept in touch and got him a room pass when we played North in Tassie.

Not long after Petracca was picked to play against the saints ,one of the first things he did was pay for two tickets ,with his own money,to fly the boy and his dad over for the game.

Brings a tear to the eye.

Talk about recruiting guys with character....what an absolute legend!

The father rang up SEN (Andy Maher) to relate the story. It's a must listen. Here's the link. Click on Mick Peters:

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
