Well they are this week. No Petracca or Humphrey.

? on Rowell recovery from injury. His goals are usually directly from CB. Curb that part of his game and we slow their momentum. Who ever plays on him must stay goal side!

Anderson and Miller are excellent players but imv aren't enough to cover the absentees - their midfield depth is fairly shallow

Our one wood is Kozzie - how will they stop him when in the middle.

So I'm not expecting them to dominate at CB/stoppages especially with Max's new found ability to place the ball at will to our advantage.

We have the extra incentive of having Suns first pick in the draft

The more games they lose the better for us. Plus the death ride needs a booster

Yes I’m sure King’s final address will be about draft picks

He needs to have a really good look at himself

I was being sarcastic.

I want to see Kossi saying Holding the ball, Holding the ball and stick his tongue out a la Walsh last week

Stop it PF!!! Seriously, ease up on Hendo. It’s one thing to critique one of our own but you cross the line at times.

You’d be pushing to find someone who works harder than Hendo. He’s determined to make us proud. Clearly the club has faith in him and so too should we.

Yesterday he was so proud just for being down as an emergency. You can’t buy that enthusiasm and desire to do well.

In all honesty, would rather have kept Woey or Junior Brown!

Good points.

Rowell's hand injury has meant he hasn't done much training with ball in hand for over a month so hoping his hand-ball and ball drop timings are a bit off 😄

My favourite part of Game Day, is imagining all the reasons we will win ... then optimism waxes and wanes as the game progresses 🙅🏻‍♀️

And that’s a fair enough comment. But saying Hendo is a poor man’s poor man and that he’s VFA ressies level and all the other insults is just plain mean. Save that sch!tt for oppo players, not one of our own boys. Especially not one who deserves respect for his dedication and commitment.

What he does he in the privacy of his own home, is none of our business

Just about to leave home now to head to G with my son on his 15th birthday. Hoping for a good showing. Just want to see energy and effort. Today will show us where we are against a good side. Hopefully the car ride home tonight to Leongatha is a happy one.🤞🏼

🥳 Happy birthday WildDogDee Jnr! 🥳

Let’s hope his 15th birthday is one to remember forever and for all the right reasons ❤️💙

Dees need to be in the game. We can’t afford to give the Suns a 5-6 goal head start.

Where is the nearest defib machine in the Southern Stand?

Just attach Latrelle at one nodes and Kysiash at the other. Zzzzzzap that'll get your heart started.

I'm alarmingly positive. Looking at this game as nothing more complicated or high stakes than 9th playing first early in the season and both teams roughly in the right ladder spot on form.

Things I already knew but really have 'learned' today;

Some daycare-spread viruses are pretty mild for the babies themselves but can be an itchy horror show for adults, resembling layers of mosquito bites, sunburn and pins-and-needles.

Getting no sleep on the daylight saving swtich-back and still having to get up early is a garbage experience.

Late starts to games, on the daylight saving switch-back, when you haven't had any sleep, and there's in-laws obliging you to stay home while they mob your still slightly unwell baby, is a retrieving-a-lost-item-from-a-wheelie-bin-left-open-in-the-rain-overnight grade experience.

It would be really helpful for my day if we could just crush these franchise crab-munchers.

HE HAS RISEN.

Wait, sons have 15th birthdays? Not on my watch.

Glad it isn't something I have to worry about until 2040ish. 2040s... that's sci fi time.

I wonder will he be allowed candles on the Great Ark escape spaceship?

I hope WildPupDee gets a thrilling game, plenty of up and down and surges so no matter the result there's something worth talking about.

Are GCS really that good!

Huge wins vs Cats, Eagles and Tigers. Yesterday's results say it all about the last two. Cats were missing Danger, Stengle and Cameron and the game was played in hot humid weather.

So nothing to rave about for them so far.

Their midfield this week is rather ordinary. Neutralise the injured Rowell and we will win!!! We can either have Kolt shadow him for the day or have Steele guard him at CB and Howes pick him up when he goes forward. Sure they still have Anderson and Miller but that won't be enough.

Maybe sacrifice JvR or Melk's game to lead Collins away from our targets.

Dees by a heart-stopping 7 points.

See you at the G D'lamders ❤️💙

Love the optimism but if Witts, Anderson, Rowell, Miller, Powell and Weller is “ordinary”, I shudder to think what word describes our midfield!

Witts is one of only a few rucks in the league who challenges Gawn regularly, which hurts any advantage we might otherwise have had with Max.

I agree with you though that they haven’t been properly tested this year, given the Geelong game was at home in humid conditions, and obviously they’re missing their best player from their first three games (Trac), but they’re still a lot of talent.

Don’t forget y’all…

Free public transport for everyone for the month of April, anywhere in Victoria.

It’s gameday baby. Pumped!

Anything can happen Dees.

Go get em!

Apologies for my absence at the G today.

Family commitment (including ex wife 😵‍💫) I can't get out of ... can't say I'm looking forward to that.
