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)

We should try to expose his lack of marking ability. He'll get completely outmarked by Gawn and Schache hopefully.

Uncle Bitters and i will be watching the game this afternoon 

The Campaign begins….

Play it hard, fast and with an ounce of mongrel brutality, guys, as a stamp of respect to Gus.

I just realised I'm yet to renew my membershp. Oh well I'll do it soon.

I just believe the start of the season has come around. 

Looking foward tonight to see what we can do and what our new players can show. 

Hope Oliver goes well and Viney just gets in there and does what he does best.

At home on the tele with a glass of brandy and some fine cheese and smoked salmon. I like to play up the stereotype on occasion :)

Will be a good game against a tough team.

Go Dees, hit them early and frequently. 

Wet weather too.

This game will be a tough slog.

Us by 3 goals.

On the couch with my mate Covid. Isolating out of “an abundance of caution”. 
Last time I watched a game by myself was the GF I think. Go Dee’s, do us proud.

Seriously, aside from the ridiculous opening round baloney, how good is it that we get the opening bounce of the year?

JUST IMAGINE

Ball is bounced - Maxxy towers over Grundy to tap it straight to Clarry who, almost immediately, handballs it to Trac who kicks it to a running ANB, who spears a pass straight into Fritter's open arms - and he slots it for our first goal of the year with that trusty left foot.

Mind you, Jack was in the thick of it, making sure nobody got within a mile of Trac. Does he (fairly) take out a few guys en route to our score? I dunno, you tell me.

Now Im really [censored] pumped! Put myself to bed early last night to make the hours go quicker, woke up to a nice spring morning here. Bit of cricket to while away the last hour or so. Carn the Dees

P.S all you listing cities that aren't Amsterdam have clearly not been to Amsterdam and are most welcome anytime

Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.

Yes, home ground advantage is the main reason my model is predicting Sydney. My model, and all the other Squiggle models, carry over team ratings from the prior season. My model has Melbourne rated higher, but the home advantage to Sydney is greater.

I'm in Sydney, weather is good.. fairly warm actually. About to walk down to the ground, Go Dees!!

Come over & say hi. I'm a decrepit old man (bald) and will be wearing an over the top aqua/white short sleeved shirt*. I'll also have a Demons MFC/MCC 2024 scarf.

I know the footy season is here. I’m already arguing with my husband 🙄. Bloody Pies supporter. 

[DubDee 26,124]

Big leadership hole for the Swans. Previous abs current captain out. No Buddy to rely on

We need to lock down Blakey, I wonder who takes him?
