Gee a good crowd 66,000

Hope Carlton supporters hopes aren't dashed before we get a home game against them later in the season.

I dunno the name of the bloke  commentating with BT today but he sounds like quality.  Nice to listen to zero hysteria

He reminds me of Sandy Roberts before Sandy lost his marbles in the later years at Fox.

hard to get over the fact that it sometimes seems like a race call too :)

I reckon BT has definitely toned down his nutso look-at-me commentary from previous years. Whether it's a direction from the higher-ups, or that brief stay at hospital last year, he's much more bearable to listen to as well this year.

I hear you, Bingers. I’ve let Essendon live rent-free in my head for decades. Recently a friend asked me who I think I might barrack for if Melbourne ever ceased to exist *shudder* He was shocked when I said probs Essendon 🤮 (Soz reflex action). My logic being: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Therefore, I think I’d have an easier time converting my intense and undying hate for Essendon into love of a similar degree. The path from indifference to love would be so much longer.
Hmmmm, maybe I need to see a therapist. 

Lol- even text predictor knows how much I hate that loathsome pack of ferals…

They are coming out of the woodwork that's for damn sure. My uncle has been to a handful of games in the last 20 years, just bought 4 game memberships for his family and went today. Had to let him know it was at the G and that Carlton don't play at Princes Park anymore.

Now you've said it can't unhear it.

"They go 'round the wing" was said exactly like it was a quinella of horses being unleashed on cup day.

The Aussie women are well on track to win World Cup final.

I’ll give you points  2 and 3, RTG. But not so much point 1.

So, the opposite of love is hate. Except it’s totally not. Psychology 101 right there. 😊

If Melbourne folded I'd be lost to footy.
Couldn't stomach supporting any-one else.
Hate them all in varying degrees.

Will not matter now - she is running out of partners.

Fair play to the Saints. They always find just the right mix of overpriced crocks, front runners and mediocre talent that will see them finish mid table for infinity.

A flag went begging for them in the late aughts, and there might be a fair wait for another legit chance for them.

Entertaining game between the Tigers and the Saints today though.

Well let me tell you this WCW.

Does BT sign off on Ling’s contract? At least 12 times today he’s said ‘Great call BT’ when literally all he’s done is call the play (his job). It’s excruciating.

Great post THBT!

Can anyone confirm if Tom Lynch is on the field?

Reiwoldt is out and he needed to stand up.
