Any tips on somewhere to watch the game Brendon?

You would think that Bitters would throw open the doors to his manor,but seeing he hasn't appeared on this game day thread as yet,

one can only assume he has started early and fallen asleep with the other sloths in the grounds.

Ohh ,I just see he has awoken

No changes to either side. Dusty plays. 

But to what effect ?

Think Toiges may rue the decision

Go Dees

Poor old Bitter has been toiling all day. Just settled into a third warm up stubby and shall be an armchair critic from The Manor.

Toiling giving the missus a jolly good flogging?

I agree with his notion of transparency- there appears to be a no [censored] policy - and unfortunately (or fortunately) - we are not privy to it.

Petracca into the midfield tonight

Youngest list = less composure under pressure -> equated that to why we lost against Freo.

Oliver = ceiling is huge -> accelerates into contests- excellent work habits

response to Mooney q - of fast tracking composure under pressure - Goodwin - talks about giving strategies - but through direct exposure...

Looks like a moderate band of rain is forming just north around the airport, heading straight to the G, prob hit just before the game starts but may not last long at all.

Also, for those watching from home it looks like 7HD is showing the footy too (according to my digital TV guide), not just 7mate. Picture quality is usually loads better!

I am certainly excited to hear that Trac is into the midfield this evening, and I'm by no means conservative, but I find the metaphorical footy comparisons to erections and ejaculation a very very odd development in Australian culture. Is it because of that Safe Schools thing?

Richmond supporters are very up and about.

At the game.  They seem super nervous.

On another note, pre-game music at Richmond home game: Jimmy Barnes.

Can't make this [censored] up.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
