POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs

[Vipercrunch 2,834]

Absolutely spewing Kozzy didn't quite hold onto those marks in the first.  Spectacular attempts and I hope he holds one real soon.

Just adding our review of the game for your perusal. Feel free to delete if it's against a rule or something. Nice win. 👍

Very impressive win given the backline circumstances but we enjoyed that win all the more from being able to sit in our own seats again and being able to watch the game unfold on the mighty MCG. So many changes going on before our eyes and as mentioned a bit scratchy at times but immense pressure applied by both sides. The only time I really went off was with the umps trying desperately to keep the dogs in the game and Codey Weightman you will burn all credibility if you persist with playing for frees, so glad we took Kozzie instead of you.!!!!

Kudos to the cheersquad last night. I thought the premiership picture looked great on the banner.

I loved how Maxy went to each section of the crowd to applaud them. You can just tell how much they love playing in front of us fans again.

Also Joel Smith played so well, probably his best game ever & rapt for him

To be fair to Cody, Smith's shadow hit him quite hard.

Not a bad effort by Jamarra.

Sharing-time (again) Humour me please 

Yeah so last Friday I had a routine mammogram. Monday I got the call no one ever wants to receive: they think they “saw something” on the imagining. Tuesday back to Melbourne Private for anothery. Was told to expect the results Thursday (today). Didn’t tell anyone, loved ones, friends etc., not a soul. Having to tell them the cancer may have returned is actually worse than telling them it has returned. 😞

So, last night I was effectively Schrodinger’s Cat, if you will, in that I had breast cancer and at the same time, I didn’t have breast cancer. 🙃🙂

SOOOO happy and relieved to have just received the all-clear! 🥳 

(Almost 😉) as happy and relieved as I was to have watched our beloved Dees do us all proud last night.

Note to self: you may need to take stock of your life. What does it say about you that you tell a motley bunch of randoms on a fan forum the great news before you tell your loved ones??? And “I just happened to be on Demonland when I got the call” ain’t gonna cut it! 😁

My heart goes out to you WCW. I would have preferred to lose last night if it meant you not having this scare.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,297]

Apologies if this has been mentioned. The MCG car park was closed last night and there was no public announcement by the club or AFL although I believe the MCC may have advised it’s members.

Traffic was awful, how many bums on seats this cost we’ll never know but I’d assume several thousand would not have found anywhere nearby to park!

That’s poor form

Keeping the beers rolling is a must however and if i was there there's no way you'd be stopping at one.  Bottoms up lassie!

The ‘one beer only’ is non-negotiable. Bad things happen when I drink too much. The last time I overindulged I was one mouse click away from gifting my life savings to a Nigerian Prince. Phew, dodged a bullet that time. However I’m not sure but I think we’re now married. JK. But yeah, one’s plenty for this lassie. 👍🏽

Also being told by the club “not to worry about the seat number, as you can sit anywhere”. Then being told by someone that we’re in their seats

Earlier on Foxtel they had Richmond V Carlton from the 80's and the commentary was brilliant. Close your  eyes and you knew where the ball was on the ground.

This cannot be the measure of commentary for a TELEVISION broadcast. I can see where the ball is, they need to add to that. At the moment most subtract from that. 

Martin Tyler was a great commentator of the round ball because he would allow silence, the roar of the crowd, and the vision aide his commentary. They should study that.

We know how to beat the Doggies, and the method is very sound. For those who missed it, Cartoon Character Foghorn Leghorn knew a thing or two about beating the Doggies and this excerpt is Priceless and very very funny!

Watching the replay now and cannot get over the channel 7 commentators. Taylor seems to have changed his method of calling with Angus's uncle doing most of the commentary. Bradshaw gets excited but generally not too bad. Mind you he has credits in the bank with "bang bang bang BANG". 

Daisy seems to be making more insightful comments as well.

Would not surprise me that the "higher ups" at 7 have had a word to actually call the game rather than waffle on (Taylor) about the past which is just not so relevant now.

Pleasantly surprised.

Taylor is a moron. Perhaps CH7 is at last waking up and starting to squeeze him out, although they are taking their time about it. Bradshaw is certainly and improvement. the other thing about Taylor is that he is so often factually wrong, and lacks the strategy sophistication of say Daisey, who is exceptional in that area. I really hope they give Daisy a meaningful job next year eg coach the women's team and work with yze on the mens strategy area, with a view to her becoming an assistant coach  with specific game day responsibility. She is a senior coach in the making - maybe even Goody's successor one day!

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

What a great way to start the season and back in style at the G. The key positives for me were the continuing best in the comp form of Trac, the development of Benny Brown since this time last year and the work of our makeshift defensive 7,. The limited concerns for me was our inability to own the centre clearance, letting the dogs get on a run and the form of Kozzie. Also Jimmy J showed that he can play a more than capable defensive wing role which may be important if we need Angus back more whilst Salem recovers. That’s it now can bask in being 1-0 and one up on a key rival for the next 10 days. Go Dees.

Attempting to save face, was the Bont. Well  beaten, himself and across his team, there ain't much point in remonstrating with the game's stars once the final siren ends your agonies. Sorry Bont, not impressed. As for Trac and Clarry, hope they got a few well-selected words into the opposition captain, as there is a great deal that could be useful to him sometime in the future, albeit modestly and sensitively delivered.

'Carna Dees!

 

Dont think any of our Leadership Group are bashful when it comes to those sort of conversations, No-one will die wondering is my guess.....

Sounds like Salem has avoided the big bad ones (ACL/PCL) but still will miss weeks
