Was this done via public complaining? No 

We asked for it privately for 20 years and my understanding is that we finally got it, but were screwed in other ways such as being one of the unlucky ones to play an SA team in gather round, and travel to Perth twice.

Have a look at Carlton’s fixture and tell me the AFL isn’t frothing at giving them a flag this year. 

That's pretty much how it went down.

HQ will be mighty [censored] if we knock off both of their S.A. babies in consecutive weeks.  Bloody hope so.

Also reckon they are probably 'all-in' on the Baggers, GWS or any other interstater for the flag.

Geelong also have a 5 day break and they have to travel, and played in ridiculous weather with a delay. We are not that hard done by.

Agreed. I don’t think we have anything to complain about. If anything I think our draw this year is outstanding. 5 day break is a pain in the bum but having both games as away games in the one city eases it. 
Also we have an extra days break for the game next week and the lions are away from home on consecutive weeks in different cities. 
To top it of when then get a 2 week bye afterwards which I think is probably the best time to have our first bye. Gives us an advantage over all other clubs bar Richmond.

We really should win tonight. Adelaide are in terrible form, while we’ve been in good form.They have a complete no name backline and have rung in 5 changes with no-names going in for no-names going out. 

I know some will use a 5-day break excuse, but Adelaide have had a 6 day break and had to fly back from Perth. They just don’t have the cattle to beat us. Unless some flu goes through the club, I just can’t see us losing.

The 5 day break is a furphy . Adelaide had a 6 day break and had to travel back late on the Friday night. We don't have to travel as we are already in Adelaide.

Fitness won't be a problem for us.

It's a bit weird knowing we have been in Adelaide for more consecutive days prior to this game than the team called Adelaide.

Is he available for the mother ,son draft

Unfortunately he’s not at all interested in footy. Not one of my sons is even slightly interested in footy. I must’ve done something heinous in a previous life, maybe mass murder. They’re hipsters and I’m a loudmouth bogan mum, apparently. 🙄

This morning at 3:30am no one I know was awake so I sent a flurry of excited Go Dees messages to my firstborn who lives in Poland. He responded…

I just walked past four awesome Dees fans, namely Max, Jess, George and Louis Gawn. Pushing the pram and blending in just like any other family out shopping. Any other family where the dad’s a 10-foot beanpole that is.

I hope you gave Max your autograph. 😂

Hunter, Laurie, Spargo, AMW, Woewodin, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Melksham, Tomlinson, McAdam, Adams, Brown, Turner, Sestan all are attempting to break into the side. It's funny when you're winning, even your depth looks fantastic. It was less than a month ago I was bemoaning our thin list. :)

Bookies have us $1.60 when my gut feel is we should be unbackable at $1.10.

 

This is not going to be a walk over. The only certain win right now is West Coast. We have to come out and start well to take the crowd out of the equation.

My beautiful, bossy, molto talented wife is Polish. When I told the woman at Europa cakes in Carnegie that my wife is Polish, she replied, Polish girls keep you on your toes. I replied, But I'm not a ballerina!

My advice to people is: A; I have double Kneemonia. I was previously married to a Phys ED teacher - hence the roonation of my knees. Never marry a Phys Ed teacher.

B; Never marry a Polish woman unless you are a good housewife. ( My wife, a published Novelist, playwright, Short story writer has just shown me the new novel she has written. She is a Genius.)

We are absolutey the last team that you want to be playing against when your forward line isn't firing because the margin for error is so thin. a smashing is on the cards here.

I wouldn’t say there’s that much depth there really.

Still really irks me with the whole Hunter/ Jordan thing, Hunters got the old man calf injury & Jordon is flourishing at Sydney

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
