Relieved the season is finally starting. Took a long break from posting here. The ugliness of late last season and the post season for too many reasons was too depressing to even think about let alone writing about it. Looking forward to a spirited response from the boys to expunge all the negative stuff.

From the training, I forgot to mention that Williams has been supervising Traccs goal kicking at the end of the sessions. I mostly see Choco emphasising the spin the right hand gives to the ball as it leaves the hand and drops to the foot. It is the slow spin for Tracc that he slams home. Occasionally gets the ball spinning too quick or with a wobble, and the ball will go a little left or right. The lovely drop happens when not much thought or he starts kicking them. Hoping his constant repetitions and hard work have paid off and he gets 3 or 4 goals tonight.

Gee I hope WCW is ok by game time,prob some sort of 12hr flu

She’s fine, thanks fd. She’s just woken from a much-needed nap and she’s about to head on over to Watson’s for an hour or so (til gates open at the ground). She’s also wondering why she’s third-personing herself 🤷‍♀️

I think the game will end up being a draw, with Schache kicking a goal from a very tight angle in the last few seconds to tie the scores.

yes and the groinal socket attachment 

 

Currently 5:45 am just outside London, been up since 4:00am watching the England India test match - will get the first 2 sessions in before the first bounce.

One benefit to previous years is that having a 7 week old son means that no alarms need to be set for my various early morning sport watching!

Uncle Bitters and i will be watching the game this afternoon 

The Campaign begins….

Am I alone in the hype on Grundy for tonight? I think the best is past him by a long way… he only had a few good games during Max’s injury and was hit and miss with the Pies in his last 1-2 years.

I love a good redemption story and he has donned our colours means a level of respect, but I can’t see how you have him and Max on equal terms. It’s just disrespectful to Max IMHO.

Grundy may win a few battles in the ruck but around the ground Max will take him to the cleaners.

Agree, watching him at training, he is a plodder, always well behind everyone during laps. His close work is good, but we will know that, though if he gets the ball to the outside runners, could become a dangerous link.

How good has the  England India test series been.

Awesome test match cricket.

Before he came to the dees, i always thought  he was super over rated.

Don't get me wrong he's solid ruck, got tap work and he is a fit bugger. But he is dead slow and short for a ruck.

Now that he has left, normal transmission can resume

He's plodder. The idea that this an even battle is ridiculous. Max will school him.

Yes it’s been great, even if it’s ultimately gone downhill for England after the first test.

Nothing is back to normal transmission until WCW has a couple of gin and tonics at Watsons and reports in to DL

Gus needs to be there at the front of the race as the boys come onto the ground.

That should fire them up 🔥🔥🔥

Always good to watch England lose

That can be a problem. Redleg often wonders about this.

Yes, great cities. And I’d add a few Andalusian cities to that list, especially Malaga and Seville.

Now there's a duet ready to cut loose 15 beers into the wind! Hope the bar you are in has decent security!

🤣

 

Don't underestimate how hard someone can try if it REALLY matters to them, and I think this may mean more to Grundy than anyone else. (Of course Max is much better normally)

You’d better watch your glass too, SWYL 🤣

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
