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!??

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

St Kilda supporters on Bigfooty saying we rely too much on our older players. Oh, the sweet irony.

something like this, bitters, i expect

Tempting, but no. Our national costume involves red plaid, a Team Canada hockey jersey, and, on special occasions, a mountie hat.

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.

I'm so excited

And I just can't hide it

I'm about to lose control

And I think I like it!

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

ok, fair enough, i'll keep looking, but outside cambodian national dress and desert boots, i'm not much of a fashionista

Not you "ProDee". As surprising as it might be, I do appreciate your opinions and battles, you at least have a thought process behind what you say.

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.

Los Trios Petraccas ?

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!

Thanks DeeZee ...........  and it's not only your eyes that are moist after reading that story and relating it to Mrs. oldfart.  

Well done to Trac. Seems he's building to legendary status both on and off the field.

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