Zero chance of 80K on a wednesday night against the dogs with plenty of covid still around. Maybe they are trying to pump up the game and encourage neutrals? how would they even be able to give an estimate when the majority of people attending will scan their imemberships? warm weather will help, but I'll be stoked with 60K

the game against the witches hats (north) was a solid hit out but the Blues games wasn't? gotta be joking we got a lot more out of the Blues game

I reckon it does. the good teams suffer. no way we are 40+ points down to Carlton now that the rustiness is gone

I can't find any details either. it would be at least 30 mins before kick off so we'll have to plan to get there by 6:30 i reckon apparently the largest fireworks display ever at the MCG is on at half time

Good to see someone finally rate the boy from Coldstream, Fritschy

Let's copy that drivel American 'Football'? no thanks you need at least one proper hit out before round 1. intra clubs are fine but you never go in hard. they made the change from 2-3 practice matches down to 1-2 which was good. but you need at least 1. just look how rusty we were in the first half against the blues, don't want that counting for points

Yep, that's the bit I don't agree with. Hopefully they are at least consistent with the interpretation this year

It’s not correct to say only 6 captains have picked the demons to make the GF. they were asked for the one team most likely to make it. If they were asked which two teams will make the GF the number would be 12 or potentially higher also from memory I think only one captain picked us to even make finals last year!

Alright I'll give it a try, let me know what you reckon FF Bowey May Tomlinson HB Salem Lever Hibberd C Brayshaw Viney Langdon HF Harmes McDonald Pickett FF Jackson Brown Fritsch R Gawn Oliver Petracca Int - Sparrow Spargo Jordon ANB Emg J Smith, Hunt, Weideman 22 - 0 coming up!

Danger should have gotten a week for that I thought Maynard was a touch stiff. the bloke knocked himself out on the ground and so Maynard got 2 weeks. if the bloke didnt fall so awkwardly he would have been cleared. unlucky

Anyone care to predict the starting 22? confirmed outs are Petty, who is the other one? are they doing that medical sub nonsense?

might be difficult as members don't have to buy tickets, just scan their phone

is that happening?! that would be awesome. cheers

Oh right! Forgot that was great to hear how supported he felt from the club after his brother passed.

A bit harsh no defenders got an interview, especially as our defence won us the flag really. One of May, Lever, Sales should have been included

Only a week to go!! Can you believe it?! very early forecast is 28oC. Might have to take the day off work and kick on from lunch

*I’ve got something in my eye Great doco, it’s important to tell the history so it’s clear how much this means. Gawn’s legend is growing. He is the modern day charismatic selfless leader we needed. the talk of preseason feeling different and the players finally buying in has me so pumped for round 1

GWS midfield: Kelly - Whitfield - Taranto - Green - Hopper - Ward - Coniglio If their talls stand up - Himmelberg, Hogan and Ricardo - they should be top 4 easy and my tip to lose the Granny against us

I do not know for sure so it is best I don't speculate further I reckon

You’re not wrong Clarry. Probably only challenged by yourself and the Bont. Trac has everything, extreme power, long accurate kicking, scores goals, a beast in the middle, X factor, immense skill. Now he has matured and developed leadership he is the most complete player in the comp.

What a legend. he always played hard cricket wise and played even harder off field. if you play that fine line with taking stuff and crazy diets it puts you at risk but I reckon it’s better to have a life lived to the fullest than a life hardly lived

Gws midfield depth is scary when they are all fit. Top 4 I reckon if they stay injury free pies are trying but lack talent. Mini Daics will be a gun

Imagine if the girls didn’t have to play on that windy country ground most weeks. We’d be seeing some quality play and big scores

Are the Saints wearing orange or is it my TV??

Am still getting over Deano going and now this?? why do the great ones always die young? Aside from his brilliance he was a great bloke and not afraid to be himself. His commentary was very good too
