Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?!

Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital.

Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip.

He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.

Can't question the bloke's commitment.

No, not dead, he won't get fined by the police, but the AFL Commish own the game and they set the rules, of which the players have agreed to and signed off on

Sounds like a gag order to me 

I hope we can do so much better in Australia

TMac is still in tracksuit top talking to staff on the sidelines during the warmup?

Yep .

Not a fan of number 20 either         ( Nichols).

Yeah, nah.

Not 20

Definitely not 22.

Or 35, or 14,

Not overly fond of 25 or 19 either 

There must be one that’s okay?

Maybe? 
Can anyone think of one?

Ivo Crapp was a much better umpire than his surname would suggest.

Lady at the gate said they’re expecting 23,000. I think they overestimated by 20,000.

I'd say so, almost feel like I have to ask someone for a key to get in.

[leave it to deever 17,591]

Props to all you have fronted up at the G tonight to root for us.

No puns on root please .

The giants song is pretty catchy

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Embarrassing turnout. It’s not even raining. 
Really poor. Don’t complain when we get 4.40 Sunday games all year.

Ridiculous huh. They’ve made him delete the comments. Truth hurts, clearly. 

Absolutely. 
He should’ve stuck to his guns. 
There is more than enough evidence to support his claim.

I understand keeping a lid on the umpire criticism, but The Corporation should not be immune from criticism.
They are not the CCP.

[dees189227 12,453]

Must win now. Kick the bummers out of the 8 & get back in there.

Makes me think of a Disney / Pixar animated movie about big-footed little people. Maybe like in Frozen - those rock people. 

[Jaded No More 68,975]

GWS song is a bop. I’ll hear nothing bad about it. 

[seventyfour 1,220]

Turner as the sub? Go back to hospital Goody!!

Apparently Angus from Cat Empire wrote it. Quality.

For who? Certainly not for our bank account.

It really is a pitiful crowd. I reckon North might have got more down in Hobart today.

Very much so, one of the more robust tunes.

[dees189227 12,453]

Gee just read goody was in hospital for 3 days. Gee that's no good.

Anyway at least the rain has cleared for now.

Robbo is going to have a tough night getting the crowd going
