What an outrage!  *shakes fist*
 

Don't mind it personally.  Now I can book my parking and turn up whenever I like, knowing I'll have a spot, rather than going as close to gate opening time as possible and then needing to kill a couple of hours.

Plus, other than pre-booked parking in the city (which yes, you book online), it's the cheapest and most convenient footy parking in town.

 

Edit - for anyone intending to drive in that doesnt know about the change:

What a complete bunfight this will be when 25000 turn up to park without pre-booked tickets.

 

PLus the fact that Ticketek will completely stuff up every aspect of this.

Just be sure pants are one of the two pieces. 🤭

This new jacket I got from the Scarborough Surf Club in Jan is seriously one of the most comfortable and warm jackets ever. Will be bringing that along for sure!

JVR 5, Schache and Kozzy 3 each.  Not sure who kicks the other 15 goals.

North were witches hats the last two weeks and whatever resistance they muster won’t last long.  And as I’m a supporter, it doesn’t matter if I’m taking them lightly. MFC by 60+ 😁😁

2. poor umpiring against us. Predicting at least 3-4 gifted goals

Well Donlon hates us, Razor love Gus (bodes well for his 150th) and umpires 37 & 38 have umpired less than 5 games each. So who knows.

Yeah 💯

Matching daks?

I’m sure apart from being warm you’ll look a million bucks!

I bought a new DA beanie before round one and am rapt to be finally getting the opportunity to wear it. The other 25 beanies at home are now meh.

Speaking of beanies, the bloke sitting next to me on the train right now is wearing a beanie and a really thick coat and either he’s fat or he’s a proponent of many layers (like I am, only not 30+ layers at one time), but methinks he doesn’t need it. If I get to Flinders without passing out due to his pungent gut-churning body odour it’ll be a minor miracle. DL is the only thing keeping me upright atm 🤢

Remember the OX

I've heard that Schwarter played at over 115 on occasions. Hoping Jvr won't get that big. I think DS was taller too.

I'm not nervous at all. I'm expecting a good win tonight. Should I be worried? 

I mean if we're going to be a serious contender we should properly win easily tonight 

Toby Green is a fair dinkum genius !!

North were as physical against us as any team was last season. They are a better team now, and I expect they'll hit us very hard. I hope our guys aren't expecting an easy game. I'd like to see us hit them physically hard early and not give them the upper hand. This one makes me nervous.

Doctors told him to put on wait to help stabilise his knee. Despite 3 knee recos, we haven’t had a better CHF since Ox.

Wish we were going in with another key back tonight. 
We were exposed in defence v Essendon and Nth will look to do the same.

Gawn dropping back is great but Grundy is a liability in the marking contest.

I guess Schache can go back but that would throw all fwd structure out.

Well if we mean business you shouldn’t be. Just expect to weather the blame if we have a poor one 👍

I wish the weather was cool here in BKK. Youre lucky in Melb.. 35c often rising to 40 by early evening. Cool change wont come till after midnight every night. F##%#k terrible.

I dont feel the humidity though. Im acclimatized. Tourists should never come here in the hot season. Nightmare.

go dees

Going to the game with 13 people from work.

10 of them are Collingwood supporters. 
 

Please… PLEASE… just win Dees. 
 

Could be a bloody annoying night if we don’t. 
 

Go Dees!
