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. 

Like we did last week vs port?

Half of Adelaide actIng like it’s Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton John and Pink in one big mega-show. The other half are all, oh that football thing is on now, is it? What’s it called… The Gathering? (A woman actually said that to me. 😅)

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!

The best traditional (jam style) donuts in Melb.

The piece de resistancee... the plum jam filling 👌🏻

Not to be confused with the hot (ball) jam donuts at the footy et al whIch are also pretty special.

Nah no walkovers this week. Getting a win alone will be a pretty good achievement against a mob who is desperate and in their own park.

Probably thought we were card nerds or something.

This game and West coast are probably our best chances for 100 point win.    Other teams will do it to them so we have to as well.   Percentage could be king at end of season.  Fill your boots Dees!!

Lol, you're kidding right?

I'll eat my hat if we win by 100.

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. :) 

That's because you flip flop, ya duffer.

I think I'm the most nervy when people start talking margins as if the win is Fait accompli.

Forget Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Elton and Pink. Whenever I see it written as "The Gathering" I keep thinking of Diana Ross and the Supremes singing "The Happening"

Love a few games of commander with mates before the game.

Quiet on the old boards 90 mins before bounce. You'd think it was a weeknight.

Will miss the first quarter or so of this game travelling on an interstate flight.

The last time something similar happened, I switched onto the footy in my hotel in Perth and saw the MFC amazingly in the game on the scoreboard against Geeeelong at Cat park in Gawn's breakout game.  We know how that turned out!

...hopefully that's an omen.

Spot on.  Flying out tomorrow with two wins from two in the toughest gather round draw for sure (playing both SA teams in a true home ground advantage to them) will be the in-season highlight for me.

A one point win will satisify me.

Our draw BTW is scandalous but predictable AFL stuff up of the important things.

Port have 6 of their first 8 games at Adelaide Oval.

We have 3 of our first 5 games on the road.

Seems fair, right?

Trying to frantically get everyone fed, showered and [censored] off is a marathon on a Thursday night post work and pre football. 
I absolutely loath Thursday night football. Such an unfriendly fixture for anyone under the age of 70.

Good thing none of our starting 22 are over 70 😂

I'll be watching this match at the Terminus Hotel in North Fitzroy. Anyone else going there?
