GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs

[kev martin 10,417]

Pressure is on, don't want a zero and two start. Time to put a difficult preseason behind them.

Those basic errors from last week (the fumbles and missing targets), and the lack of ability to adjust the strategy within the game, have to be fixed.

Stay in the game Dees, or time to slam and make the statement, we are contenders again.

Really hoping our forward line woes are fixed.

We should be better for having a hit out, against a team coming in fresh.

Go Dees!

On the train from Scumbury- a surprising number of Dog supporters!

They are looking far too smug and happy- I feel very much like handing out a jolly good thrashing or two !

Hopefully I’ll arrive at the G in time for a couple of heartstarters with @Moonshadow  ( poor company I’ll admit)

[dees189227 12,401]

Hope there's a good crowd

Dees win and no injuries

Oh and for peats sake kick straight

I’ve read a lot of posts along the lines of “Sydney and GWS are the standard we need to match”.

After the last two seasons I think we should all know that flags aren’t won in March. We need the four points far more than we need to look like the best side in it right now.

Are they having membership tents there today? Do they still do that? I still haven't renewed

The train from Gisborne on a nice sprinter might have been better, bitter!

We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement 

This was our immediate thought. But we have to wear the latest FreezeMND beanie during banner raising and while in our bay. We’re gonna come up with a way to incorporate both. 😅

Yes, let's not allow inaccurate kicking to bog us down.

Helmet would definitely make a statement, but also vital for ones safety.  I don't feel safe at those games.  Never have, and certainly not now.  There should be some sort of personal safety kit available to hire or purchase, the filth shield or something.

Harmes gets a forever free pass for that one famous possie and kick to Fritta.

Given our strong connections as being the pioneers of inducting Irish footballers to Australian Rules. May fond memories of Jimmy Stynes, Sean Wight (hon) et al, be celebrated with your favourite tipple Jamiesons, Guinness, Beamish or Bewley's Irish Breakfast.   🤞  for luck of the Irish. Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 at the 'G Demon's win.

I always saw Harmes as a solid contributor and a genuine nice guy.

Whats to boo?

Why would anyone boo harmes. No true demon supporter would boo him.

I don't know. I remember Hannan getting booed.

Given we bizarrely booed Baker last year who could not have done any less to tick of the supporter base, I’d imagine the answer is a clear yes.

Back at the G & it's good to be back. 

What a great day for footy

[adonski 12,437]

Daniel the sub. Bevo is a sicko. You kinda have to admire it.

[dees189227 12,401]

Gee Caleb Daniel has gone from just about being an elite kick in the comp to sub.

Hope taj goes well when he gets his chance

Heading in now on the tram.

That's right it was baker. I knew we booed someone that didn't deserve it

[BDA 22,891]

Baker was booed in response to the doggies fans booing hunter. It was a [censored] for tat thing. He wouldn’t have been booed otherwise I reckon.
