Sometime in the third quarter I suddenly started calling Charlie Spargo 'Banksy' and I like so I'm going to keep doing it.

Nobody knows who he is and he keeps producing little works of art in unexpected places.

You're drawn me out of hibernation LG. That's very very good from you.

It is hard to explain the joyous feelings that we experienced whilst watching that Preliminary Final while madly texting our three daughters and grandson (all Dee tragics) in lockdown. All the highs getting higher and higher as Max and the boys went to town in the third quarter. Blowing the “hated” Cats out of the water in such an emphatic manner was pure bliss. Love this team.Rest up boys one more huge game to win.💕

Couldn't sleep much last night. Having watched the replay its difficult to tell how much was us being outstanding and how much was Geelong having a complete shocker. No doubt our pressure was first rate.

It looked to me like an injury when your pelvis/ hip rolls forward when you accidentally step off a curve or in a pothole

Yep. Good analogy.

Does that change with the new sub rule? If you take 14 days you are likely to re-injure it but it might be considered a risk worth taking in a GF. 

Maybe. I guess it adds a little insurance. Definitely a roll of the dice otherwise.

Will Hawkins ever pay the price for pushing people in the back?

With his illegal actions Hawkins has cost May 2 games, a half final and maybe a GF.

This is on top of round arms etc to other players of other teams.

Will only get worse as he gets older and his frustration increases.

I too was getting worried by @old deeabsence.   Can't have him missing out on the DL fun.  Had to prod him a little via pm to come out of his slumber.  Good to see him back posting.  

You and me both, Luci. I PM-ed him this arvo and gave him a good telling off for saying he wasn’t important. His granddaughter for one would beg to differ. 💕

JV is the player in the league that I would least want to play on…it’s life and death for him…an absolute animal! He is a polarising figure but I feel so happy for him right now. What a dream, to play in a GF for the club your Dad captained.

I know it is only one story but we’ll done Jack. 
I’m so proud of our club…getting pretty emotional writing this…Go Dees!

I read your post - that was a good 'telling off' as well!

I had also invoked his grand daughter to bring him some cheer.  Seems to have worked and he came back to us.

He’s just got to be here right now. He deserves to be enjoying this feeling as much as the rest of us. And great minds DO think alike (yours and mine) since we both played the granddaughter card. 😁

Turns out there may have been some truth to the virus rumour.

Assuming it's true, does it explain how bad some of those players were?

It probably does.

I don't care.

Which Virus?

Even if not the C-word it's irresponsible if our players are exposed to a bug.

Was thinking the same, could impact our boys prep into the granny if it was passed on

Sent a drunken text to Richo at midnight last night to thank him and declare my love for him and all things MFC.

To my surprise he replied this morning, thanking me for the support and said he hopes the club continue to make me proud.

He also said “The boys are so ready”.

Richo tried to hit on my ex-gf at a bar in Prahran when I was still back in Melbourne, he did well, but nevertheless she stayed true (for a few months anyways). But I digress… I still love Richo as his commentary is usually on point, love the guy TBH.

I posted this yesterday morning.  Seems like his info was on the money.

Just chatting to the Geelong fan behind the console at my servo who not only doesn't fancy their chances but has also heard that there's a tummy bug going through the Cats. 

I'd take that with a huge grain of salt, but I wouldn't be upset if his mail is accurate.

Absolutely irresponsible from the AFL as it was clear they were made aware. 

Usually a common cold virus is no where near as transmissible as COVID so the risk is low but these things are now magnified  in covid times. They should have played with face masks.

i still wonder how they get sick when they were in quarantine in the first place.

I think in all fairness it does as well. But I keep thinking how we got stiffed last year so there is balance is somewhat restored.

They did [censored] their pants last night so it seems possible. 

They didn’t get close enough to any of our players to pass it on thankfully. 
 

edit: they were drinking in a pub today. Can’t be that sick 🙄

Port and dogs must be worried about our current form.
