I'm keen to see if Joeboy has been spending time in the g̶y̶m̶ library.

Partner giveaways, crikey, didn't know MFC are now hosting swap meets. I'll tell the Mrs to put on some more lippy.

I’m sure they called the equivalent game last year, “match simulation”. What’s the difference between that and a “scratch match”?

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,496]

How nice it is to have a game day thread again. I'll be watching this one on Kayo. 

[Skuit 10,031]

Hi Demonland family. Could someone please advise which Fox channel the game will be broadcast on? I know that might seem like a strange question, but my google-machine skills have failed me thus far. 

Bonus round question: if I were to presently turn to said channel, what would be currently showing? 

On an unrelated note: does anyone recall the equivalent match getting cut short last time around when everyone got bored? I haven't google that yet because I'm already here asking questions now.

Nice… for now. When the season proper starts… not so much. 😅

[TheWiz 782]

Excited to see Windsor, how Billings will be played, who will be more suited to backfill Pig’s role out of Tomlinson / Howes, any opportunities for Verrall, and from a game play perspective how we enter forward 50 and our accuracy.

For Richmond I’m interested to see Yze’s style, and also keen on seeing McAuliffe - apparently a jet.

Go Dees

Lachie Hunter aka keen bean has been out there warming up for ages. Tmac and Langers are walking around the boundary chatting. All the players are now out there…

FOOTY’S BACK Y’ALL!!!

[Cyclops 511]

Hunter still doing laps. Tomlinson and Langdon walking laps. Looks a hive of activity around the ground.

First time at Casey and it looks a treat.

Hopefully finding synonyms for “limited”.

Ah, true! Although up until the first bounce it's pretty sane. Completely toxic thereafter. 

[Demonland 73,161]

It’s going to be a full house. Bring your full body tats.
