Game day....the only time one is inclined to speak to other passengers.

Nothing beats our great game hey!

[Newport34 380]

Game day baby. Let’s go Dees. Looking forward to another win today (and also Bluey and Bingo pre game entertainment). Might need a couple of cold ones to keep me warm!

Still drizzling constantly. Slivers of blue sky in the distance.

Drizzle has stopped.

Breaks in clouds now, as blue peaks through.

Hope we go full bore for the whole match today it’s time to stop those periods where we go to sleep

We have a bad habit of only doing what we have to. Even more so when playing teams down the ladder.

Looking forward to seeing what trac can do up forward today.

[Fork 'em 7,008]

Give me a win with no injuries.
I'm easily pleased at this time of year.

Adelaide aren’t a bad side though so I doubt we will get it all our way

Good interview with Yze just then on triple M.

1) confirmed Trac will play 80/20 forward.

2) Actually gave a bit of solid info about Clarry. They’re targeting the North game for his return. Trained well during the week.

3) Wants to put his name in the hat for the Richmond job.

Adelaide are a poor team who only win at home and start very slow when interstate.

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

Very big game today for two reasons

1. Ladder position

2. Improvement in forward line (especially BBB, Chandler and Melksham. The last named is very important as we go through the next 5 odd weeks without Fritsch) I would also like to see a solid four quarters from JVR

Adelaide will come hard at our defence through the corridor. Like many teams they play mainly a less skilled version of the Pies/Port gameplan. Our half back line is the key

 Just bumped into Max at the G. He is pumped for a big one.

Searching for an omen, on the way to the ground I saw three ravens sitting on a fence. One looked at the others, shook its head and said, 'Nevermore.'

Dees by 29 points.

1) Great to hear - Trac is going beautifully in the forward line

2) Another bit of good news, hoping it comes to fruition and he can get back up to speed in time for finals

3) One more flag and he's a senior coach in waiting, but not until then IMO

At the Bermagui Beach Hotel for this one.  The screens are more AFL &  racing than NRL👏🏼 Hope they don't switch em over after the GWS game...

Does this have a Freo feel about it this game?

Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

 

80% is still a distinction

Save it for when the game starts. Only positive vibes pre game. 

[Satan 2,885]

As its been said , this game would set us up for top 4 . A win and 2 games and percentage ahead of 5th

2nd spot is still a rough hope, but we'll need to boost the %age, so let's get that rolling today.

A murder of a murder of crows please.

He wishes he had that much hair.
