He taunted Harry by pretending to cry. 

You're thinking Lincoln McCarthy with that one.

But yes, hoping there's some fire in the guts from last year's finals.

 

I hope we just play them off the park. Couldn't really give a stuff about drama from last year.

 

Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

Oh you’re right. They’re both chumps so they’re easily confused. 🤣

Actually, I just remembered how Jarrod Berry was involved to an extent in this whole deplorable thing. Not worth talking about.

May & Salem not playing. Take it to the bank

And get charged $2.60!? No thanks I'll take it to the banking app thanks!

 

Bought tickets through ticketmaster so now they have my email address I'm getting promotional material for Brisbane Lions WTF

Would be surprised if May plays so soon, Salem will need a game in the VFL to get some touch. I have from time to time overactive Thyroid, takes quite a few weeks to normalise and running even 500m can cause exhaustion with elevated heart rate.

Hope he has either done radioactive iodine, or cut it out, as a long term fix.

I'm fine with this.

There is honestly no rush in getting these guys back. Take all the time they need so that it sets them up well for the year.

Just arrived in Brisbane. 
 

80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

(ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
 

Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

Having a sub will help !

Yep, me too 


If it’s 31C, will there be extra breaks? What’s the AFL heat policy? I realise it’s a night game, but that’s a ridiculous temperature to be playing AFL football in

According to BOM it'll be 25 degrees from about 7 pm onwards.  Don't know about humidity though!

My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

Do the Richmond players still money grab these nights years after there flags???

Dunno. But I must say 2021 was the subject of discourse for the majority of the night. 🏆❤️💙

BTW, two thirds of the night was great. The other third, Clarrie spoke.  😁

Seriously, I couldn’t understand a word he said apart from “hello” at the start.

I live in Brisbane. It’s cooled down quite a bit after a heat wave. Last weekend was absolutely stinking hot, so looks like we will be fairly fortunate with the weather. It will be relatively temperate and the real hot edge to days and nights has eased this week. 

Have it on good authority that it has been an unhappy team at the Brisbane Lions over the offseason.  Not sure of the cause, or if it was a factor in them starting poorly v Port.  But just passing on what I’ve heard.

So I assume May will be suiting up for Casey in that case?

On Tuesday Goodwin doubled down from the post game presser saying all four players (May, Salem, Fritta, Viney) will be available for selection at either MFC or Casey.

(on a serious note, if your mail is solid, then they obviously don’t want to risk May so early in the season.

 

pressure is already on the Lions. could be 0-2. then play the dogs away and the Pies

they will be fired up for friday! pity we might not have our brutes in viney may kozzi

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
