So do I.  Probably the greasy pile of muck I just ate to put a layer under the beer.

Agreed. How often is MFC a goal down after 1/2 minutes? Answer: too often.

However, we have won our last 4 1st q...

Dean Kent to silence all those who have written him off.

23 possessions, 7 tackles, 4 goals

As much as I'm not keen on Kent I hope you're right about this. In fact I'd be happy if only your tackle forecast was right and he only had 15 possessions and 2 goals.

Indeed. Could have been the x4 pancakes, x6 smoky bacon rashers, x3 fried eggs and maple syrup I put away this morning. ??

It such a relaxing past time watching our club.

Hardly a cloud in the sky, forecast mainly fine

Can't be right because the roof at Etihad is closed. There's no way the AFL would pass up the opportunity to blind the 3,000 or so people who turned up to watch the kangapoos or to wreck the contrast settings on the TVs of the 12 of us watching it on Fox before turning over to the real game!

[Diamond_Jim 12,646]

25 minutes until game start.

Crowd is sparse at present.

Predominantly overcast with small breaks in the clouds.

Crowd looks prdominately Carlton. Not surprising as it is their home game

So do I. Is it because you had two large Big Mac meals and a McFlurry as well?

Is it Shaun smiths son playing today or the other one?

"Running over the same old ground - what have we found? The same old fears...." 

yep - the same old ground and and the same old fears, MCG and were favourites in a huge game. But as we at the club know the outs are huge and whenever we have this kind of build up you've been conditioned as a supporter to know we're really the underdogs in these contests. 

But we've been a new side this year and exercised many, ahem, demons of the past; let's hope today is just one more and win lose or draw - god it's good to see Hoges back out there. Given his year - just hope he gets to enjoy it and we see a smile at the end of the day from ear to ear.

go d's!

[Deemented Are Go! 3,692]

Opening pre-game sequence clearly defines that Ch 7 will be barracking for Carlton today. 

Bllleeeaaagghhhhh

sos

Good to see Jones but wish he was playing.

[dees189227 12,441]

Gee that Carlton hovercraft is noisy when it comes out 

[BenJamin on Deesy St 805]

In Sanur, Bali, for this one with the 7 year old. Looking forward to the Max-Clarry-Jesse combo on the blurry TV screen!

[leave it to deever 17,565]

Jesse seems to be flying under the radar.

[ignition. 1,478]

WTF is with that away jumper against Carlton. Surely that big chunk of red at the top, as well as white shorts and red socks would have been sufficient againt the blues.

Even the alternative away strip with the red back would have worked just fine.

Side note....why are we wearing white? What's wrong with red backs? Collingwood and Carlton wore hone jumpers when they played. Money talks I guess. Farce. AFL policy on the run

[leave it to deever 17,565]

Cant wait to see Jesses first goal and teams reaction. Hope its the first.

[CanberraDemon 214]

No 7 coverage in ACT thanks to local channel broadcasting their 2 games yesterday (GWS/Hawks and Syd/GC). Waiting for coverage to start on Fox Footy Play + (won't start until 1st bounce).

(Side note: as a result of the NSW teams coverage 2 out of 3 of the FTA games here this week have been retransmission of Foxtel broadcasts and only once have we had to put up with Channel 7's useless common taters)

How good would it be if hogan takes a pack mark goes back and slots the first goal?

I'd settle for him kicking 8 ?

Hope he flies a lot higher than that once the game starts.

WTF with the white jumper?  The red back, normal front would present absolutely no visual clash.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

I urge all Landers to email the club this week and raise the clash jumper issue on social media or via talk back.  It's a joke. Has been for years. The AFL makes the call on jumpers. .not the club. I want answers

Yep. Leigh Matthews: " I wouldn't play Jones on Hogan because he won't be doing much today"
