GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Yartapuulti

[DubDee 26,332]

For anyone visiting Adelaide for the weekend I can recommend Morphettville races tomorrow. Race 1 is midday. you can usually sneak in for free. 

the Schnitzels are as big and hard as a frisbee. i enjoyed it so much, it came up constantly for the rest of the day

Correct as usual chook - defrosted a couple of other important attachments also.

Brass monkeys ok?

It's been so bloody cold  here  DD the shiraz was freezing.

The world can be cruel sometimes Uncle

I'm cracking an Angostura 7 year rum tonight which survived a duty free stampede at Port Vila.  Some weren't so lucky and saw their stash get smashed on the way out!  The lengths ppl will go to for cheap booze.  Of course i just happened to be passing by and errr... well.

Regardless i will raise my first glass to the restoration of all things good at the Manor, a speedy recovery to my old mum (who's recovering from a bout of the dreaded lurgy at the old Freemasons) and a win for our Mighty Demons.

i dspute this

north, meth coke were easy kills, and they snuck over the line vs the other three

footscray win the best of that lot and from memory it was their key forwards - two of whom are missing this evening - that were particularly damaging

I hear you.

But from that batch, we have both beaten North and WC. So that evens out.

But they have beaten the Bombers (who smashed us) and the Saints who were travelling very well at that point (a narrow loss to the Pies and a win over the blues in the preceding two games). A sneaky win or not, a win is a win, and Port won all of those games. 

As I said, I believe we win, and we should win, but I hope we don't fly in on a false sense of confidence much like last year, which cost us dearly. If we treat Port with respect tonight, keep the pressure up and everyone is accountable, we win well and keep the season humming along :-)

Have a look at time in centre bounces and time on ground for Trac, Clarry and Viney this year versus last year. All are under 80% from memory this year. 
And Trac is playing way more time forward than ever before. 
Against the Hawks after half time I saw a centre bounce of JJ, Gus and Kosi. Name one time that happened last year. Not even when we were 10-0. 

Correct.  It also resulted in a neutral outcome even though the Hawks won the tap.  Not bad!

The other somewhat out-of-the-norm set ups (vs 2022) included...

Tracc, Sparrow & Gus

Viney, Sparrow & Gus

Clarry, Kozzy & Sparrow x 3

Viney, Gus & Jordon

I have the outcomes on these but won't bore you with the details

Just get the chips and salad instead I guess.

That first sip of wine after a hard week at work was very tasty.

Really looking forward to this game.

Go Dees

In a crossover from the puppy thread, I'm led to believe that the pooch on the left is named "Yartapuulti".

No longer a regular beer drinker myself but Coopers Sparkling Ale and Original Pale Ale are surely two of the better beers available on the mainland. Or were?

In a chilled glass of course...

Classic. Well done

[Mickey 4,756]

You'd think, given their lack of forward line, that they should struggle to kick a score. But given we aren't great defending ground balls inside 50, Dixon and Marshall out may not be an issue for them

There were some dark clouds but dry since about 3pm.  BOM indicates it’s unlikely to rain

[DubDee 26,332]

Schmiddy a chance for the Sub?
