PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs

[Damo 3,355]

If Dragon Boat is open Im happy, but it was totally empty last year and I thought it had turned its toes up. Its great for dinner. West lake is my favorite for Yum Cha at lunch as it is all hand made onsite yet not very expensive. But Dragon Boat (about the same pricing as WestLake) has a nicer dinner menu and IMV a better experience... but its not yumcha, although you can order a small range of entrees that feature on the Yumcha (lunch) menu.

Thanks Damo, looked open online but just tried to call and the number is disconnected. I'll look into Westlake. Thanks for the tip.

From one Molly Duker to another: Vintage Cellers is 3 doors away and Westlake charge very little for corkage. Go the Ginger Prawns, Sui Mai and the Footballs. Delicious.

They’ll hang around for awhile until we put our  foot down and rip them a new one. Demons by 47

1) So they can worry about their silly song instead?

2) His team are mostly kids who are into music, fun etc, not philosophy students.  Not sure I've heard of coaches filling player minds with achievements of a host of well known 'leaders', simultaneously.  The mantra most heard from coaches and players is "Keep It Simple'! 

But if it works for them, great.  I just couldn't help notice the difference in coaching approaches.

1. Sticks & stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me - but songs will 🤦🏻‍♂️
- resiliance lacking at the kennel?
2. KISS principle is perfect for footballers

What do you base this on? 

I base that on them being a very good side in 2021.

They may well be the best side in 2022, which is a different year to 2021.

Counterpoint: bang bang bang; premiers; they can go [bad word] themselves.

 

GO DEMONS!!!

Has the flag raising time been announced yet?

[BDA 22,750]

I understand those who caution against over-confidence. We need to be focused and disciplined to win

But let's not forget the last time we played them we smashed them by 74 points. In a grand final. We are a better all round team than they are and as long as we have our minds on the job at hand we will win this game

Bad news for the dees on the injury front ! 

According to Fox Footy tonight ' Tom Rivers ' is injured and won't play Wednesday night 

That's upsetting, especially since his brother Trent is also out injured. !!!

Tomorrow night I'd imagine. Usually about 6:30ish

With Rivers and Petty missing from the GF side Gus’s selections are Hunt and Smith to replace them and Max has gone with Hunt and Tomlinson. This is from their ‘selection segment’ on their podcast unless there’s a left field selection. 
Pretty obvious it would be those 3, interesting to see who misses out.

Apparently Hunter isn't in the Doggies' side.

Possibly practising his limbo dancing? Or driving practice/lessons? 

Am I the only one that can't stand that bloke?

I think it’s fair to say he’s been freed from Deesire

Hated him from the moment he grinned like an @r$ehole WHILE milking a high free during the GF. Didn't get the last laugh though, [censored].

[cookieboc 776]

A couple of things I'd like to see on Wednesday

 

A banner in the cheers squad that says " bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Another that says, "surely not another one"

And for Dees to enter the field to Freed from desire, with us fans doing a great rendition from the stands 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

Hunter is an insufferable, diving, smug campaigner but I also rate him pretty highly as a player. So this news makes me doubly excited.
