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 ! 

Virgin are a disgrace these days, always delayed, bump prices up for events or school holidays.  

Hope the rest of your weekend is enjoyable

    Are we/they happy with Mitch Robinson’s comments on SEN about the Petty/Zorko incident?

    I think we would be. Use it as a bit of motivation along with the semi final.

    Turn the heat up and Brissy will go to water.

    I can only go Virgin, because they ( in the past) keep their flights.

    last 4 times I have booked Jetstar. Each flight has had its time amended and one cancelled. 
    both terrible

    I heard a captain’s run tomorrow morning at Gosch’s. 

    I've been wondering for a while, but what does the expression "Captain's run" actually mean?

    Is it (1) the captain takes charge of training with no coaches present? (2) it's just the squad picked for the game including emergencies? (3) it's training like always but a shorter or lighter load? (4) any other option or combination of the above?

    The coaches are still present and there’s more than just the squad there. I always thought it was that the captain directs this particular session. Also, it usually is a shorter, lighter load.

    Pretty much all these. Sort of like a 'walk through' and light hitout with minimal coaching.

    I highly recommend Rex!  They have good specials, give you a snack, and have some of the best on time ratings for the past few COVID years.  They only do the eastern seaboard really, but very solid service.

    For example - flew up to Brissy today.  I was running late and they helped me get on board and arrived on time!

    Yeah I thought they just did regional flights on the East side, I'd give them a go for sure!

    Sad reality is Brisbane are mentally soft, they can't handle a hungry team coming at them, and they're just not that well coached. they're going to be 0-2 after this weekend, they'll beat up on enough lesser teams to play finals but they won't fire a shot again this off season

    Interestingly Joel Smith is here too. 

    Joel Smith could be used as a sub if a TMac/Fritsch go down up forward or May’s calf plays up he can cover on defence.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
