Too many sips from the wine cask I fear.

After a knee injury you build up the knee strength not thrash it. 2 games in 5 days, imo as a non doctor of course, would be ridiculous.

I'd be more worried if Uncle wasn't sipping Mr Leg!

And what's wrong with a little 2021 Chateau de Romsey anyway 😀

I'm guessing this is where having the other big boy in Reg probably helps to lessen the load somewhat (for Max) over both weeks?

Also we may end up resting Max that following week as you are suggesting.  I don't see why he can't be managed that way if the oppo is only bringing one genuine ruck.

As Uncle said .... we will soon find out how he pulls up (Max that is... not Uncle!)

    The people that said the doctors wouldn't rush Max if he wasn't 100%, you have been proven correct 🙂

    Just hope he can avoid any repeats, we need the big guy.

    Was this at Adelaide Oval?

    Regardless, I’m sorry your son had to hear that. ☹️ If there is such a person she’s not part of the cheer squad, even if she was in our bay. Foul language is banned. Microphones in the goalposts mean that hefty fines can be issued by the AFL. Besides, she’d be told to cut it out immediately if she was a DA member. 

    Now I know why my application for DA membership was rejected.

     In the past I have rocked up with my general admission membership and been able to get a seat, albeit way up high on level 4.  I just tried upgrading my general admission membership barcode then on ticketek and it doesn't show any available seats.  I am assuming this means all reserve seats have been sold.  BarnDee I may be joining you in the back row of level 4!

    ok thanks dee  if thats the case  na  , way up there is like not being there lol might go to plan B , cheers and go dees

    I realise there is a thing called match hardness that comes through playing. However, if he has been chosen to play against Richmond, I assume the "build up" has beed carried out during rehab/training.

    Anyway  Red, we'll find out over the next week or so!

    Yep.

    I think Grundy is going to need a freshen at some stage, so that could be interesting.

    I think Schache could turn out to be a useful swing man for us.

    Is there a shower where you put the banner together? If not, seems like a significant health and safety issue for you.

    The outrage was he suggested Uncle was imbibing Chateau Cardboard. He would be mortified at the thought.

    No showers at Reach, which is why I rocked up in full PPE, gas-mask included. Apparently they’re working on a vaccine and it should be available by ANZAC eve next year, which is great since next year we all go to Punt Road to make the shared banner.

    Neck and neck 

    It could be a red herring but in today's press conf Goodwin hinted that Brown might play on Monday night.

    He was lamenting the need to produce the squad 4-5 days prior to game time.  Brown wasn't in the squad but given the time gap changes could be made, I guess.

    Do we have until tomorrow night to submit our final 22?

    Max is a champion and professional. If he and the club are okay, I'm okay.

    To my eye the Grundy incident was deliberate with intent to injure.  But lets agree to disagree on that. 

    imv Draper's run and jump on TMc was thuggish.   I didn't say 'sinister'.

    It will be interesting to see how often his tactics result in injury.

    Might sound like a silly question but is Monday's game a ticketed game or can we scan our normal mobile membership through gate?

    It's actually not a silly question and I just assumed we'd scan at gate but could be dead wrong. 


    Someone was asking about the starting time of the ceremony on Monday night, @Jaded No More iirc.

    The order of events…

    The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

    Looks like Hibberd will be playing with Gus to the midfield. I wonder if that means Sparrow might miss out - his form has been ordinary

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
