2023 Best and Fairest

[Longsufferingnomore 1,672]

I'm going and the first question on everyone's lips will be "Where's Clarrie".  A very big elephant in the room.

[DubDee 26,411]

Clayton is zero chance of attending. 

it’ll be a media circus

[DubDee 26,411]

Will be great to see Trac finally win his first. his first right?

if no Clarry he’d had 3 already you’d imagine

It would be Tracs second DubDee, he won in 2020, 2nd in 2021 & 2022, 5th in 2019

Nah, the media will be at the Pies, fawning over everyone.

Will Grundy attend? 
Will Clarry attend???
Is Gus ok??
 

It should be a night to celebrate a year but given a second straight sets exit in finals, there will be some tough talk in dispatches.  
Forward 50 connections.
Learnings. 
Goalkicking.

Hopefully we can celebrate the win by Trac or JV7.  

Mcvee breakout year.  

JVR arriving. 

Welcome to Andrew McQualter. 
Farewell Yze (and Stafford 🤔🤔). 

16 wins is not a failed year. Losing two finals was.

Previous couple of B&F's there has been a live stream.

Hope it'll be the same this year.

If he's in a reasonable place / state he should be attending and no reason why he wouldn't.

More circus material for the media nuffies if he doesn't imv

[Supreme_Demon 4,043]

I am hopeful Clayton Oliver will attend. Although I am sure he will look to avoid the media jackals.

We as Melbourne supporters need to show him plenty of love. For anybody attending, and who gets a chance to do so, please let Clayton Oliver know that we love him and hope he stays a Demon for his entire football career!

WE LOVE YOU CLARRIE!!! GO DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

Unless part of his new living arrangements include staying home to babysit George Gawn

Hi Jane do you still have a spare ticket available in case any one is interested at the right price?

Bring him along, Clarry the minder as penance

[dees189227 12,459]

Gee the media will be there to report on a few stories. Obviously Clayton, how Angus is faring & Brodie Grundy and that stuffed up trade 

[3183 Dee 2,915]

Looking forward to seeing a photo of our Podcast Posse, decked out in their Sunday best! Any chance of a Roving Andy segment?

Can you explain your comment I amNot in sync with what you are intimating. 

Is it that 9 of our players went missing each game ?

Ok so in response to Adonski's clever (in jest) take that 12 players might be all that's left at the B&F ....

Some may not get the veiled reference if not a Seinfeld fan or haven't watched this particular episode.

If you are you're already aware of George's character and that he's a habitual cotastrophizer and panic merchant/drama king, this GIF a great example of that.

On one hand some D'landers do call "fire" when there is just some smouldering (nothing to see here) smoke in a basket.  That's one aspect.  I'm also guilty of that on occasions!

There's also some truth in what Adonski jokingly exaggerated in the sense that so many players (end of season this time around) are either looking to exit, have already retired or may be doing so due to potential career ending injuries. Probably also some Clarry no show 'spin off' take in there as well.

A bit of a scramble for the exit (overnight list 'Shrinkage') with a D'land (Costanza style) panicy twist added in for good measure.

It was also a great excuse to just post that GIF, an all time classic Seinfeld moment imv.  George taking no prisoners in pursuit of his own self preservation.

As you can see, my SOH is pretty warped.  And some of it is (sometimes) a reflection of my own flaws that i see when watching certain sitcom characters & episodes.

Dubs predictions:

• 1. Petracca
• 2. Viney
• 3. Brayshaw
• 4. Gawn
• 5. Rivers
• 6. Clarry
• 7. May
• 8. Hunter
• 9. Lever
• 10. Pickett

3 - 6 all very tight

Trac to have a big lead by round 15 but Viney will come hard and could pip it

I hope so too. Strange no mention of it by the club though. Meanwhile it looks as if Collingwood's is being broadcast on Kayo
