Normally it's a nice bunch of flowers but the pressure was on.

My mad keen dogs fan mate worked on this book.  He was awarded the contract on the Monday after the GF.  He accepted through gritted teeth!!

He's a better man than me... I would've said sorry too busy.

Yep, he did reflect on the joys and challenges of being a freelance writer.  Footy is footy but work is definitely w.o.r.k.

Excellent. I shall enjoy it even more, knowing a Bulldog helped put it all together…

Seeing how it wasn't a "Labour of Love" it is very well done. Tell him he can do it again for us this year.

Mrs Dw loves it and I got to be in the good books for 30mins.

After watching highlights of the match sim, I am fearful for the well-being of other sides. Hopefully they can seek counsel from friends and family after playing us.

Careful, let’s stay humble.

I honestly cant remember a year since 2000 where there was so little Pre-season training news. Cold Turkey this year.

And, PF, we REALLY appreciate your reports and the effort you go to to bring them to us.  Just a pity there aren't a few more warriors down there who can help you out!

Again PF I appreciate all those who write reports especially if they negotiate some Joe Blake’s on the way. 
long drive from here to Casey. And I would need to arrange the required permits.  Or I could keep going up to the Gold Coast,  or further.

all the track watchers. Keep it up! Cheers

It's not the travel, casey or the snakes.   Its the bloody fence.  You are so far from the action without any elevation and looking through a cyclone mesh fence, it's so difficult to make out players and especially those half way up the ground.  Half have tabbards on so you can't rely on numbers either.

The travel (for most) and the fence/distance is a huge deterrent. 

I’m usually good for at least two pre season Training sessions but both those factors have kept me away. 

The lockout and the MCG sized ground and better surface are the reasons we’re training there.

I’m pretty sure he had both last year. He has a premiership tattoo on his other ankle (not pictured) that would be new. 

EDIT: The mountain is new ie: after the Grand Final
