Pro Tip: Fast forward to the end.

Thanks for posting, very interesting.

Accidental Trackwatcher: Witnessed Jack Viney tearing around an oval doing sprints and laps before sunrise in Hawthorn this morning. Very eager and looks angry – I did not approach.

Sucked me in, haven't had a long sleeve before so got one of those and decided to get the game day football I was contemplating previously. 

Who needs money for a wedding anyway.

The Grand Final game day ball with gold printed scores / names etc is now my most prized possession. It is a thing of beauty.

Just tell me when it’s over, I can’t watch!

Listening to Kane Cornes this morning from Perth he reckons the general support around town is in the Dees favour against the Doggies 80/20.
 

If that translates even to 70/30 or 60/40 at the game then that’s a huge advantage on top of the fact we’ve already played some massive games at the same ground.

SEN app is generally about 30 seconds delayed from live. If you have the ability to pause live tv (either via kayo, foxtel etc) I'd be pausing your live tv for 30 seconds and getting it into sync with the broadcast via the SEN app

This is what I would normally do throughout the year but the Grand Final is only broadcast on Ch 7 and 7 HD. Can these channels be paused?

RADIO:
Kingy and Jennings will be doing a full review and dissection of the two Dees v Dogs games from earlier this year on SEN at 11am.

Merritt goes for a few weeks based on what Neal-Bullen got, right?

Great day for it.

Hope the boys are hungry, we could really do some damage today with a few players filling their boots and running into some form.

Or it could easily be a tight struggle and turn into a stressful game for us all. Looking at Adelaide’s team I will be surprised if that happens as they have got holes all over the park, so we’d really need to be flat for that to happen.

WTF line him up UMPIRE!!!

Good game so far. Happy if they both bash each other up.

I get uneasy when I read these negative comments from rival clubs. .We have been here so often in the recent past and it has invariably  ended in tears .Please not again.

Agreed.

As well as our team has been playing over the course of the season and where we sit on the ladder, we still have losses to the Crows, Pies and GWS plus have been pushed all the way by Essendon. All currently bottom 10 teams.

Can anyone really be 100% confident we will win? I don’t feel that yet.

We are $1.08 to beat Hawthorn $8. Can’t ever remember seeing our odds so short.

Bit biased as he was one of my favorite Dees players but Dean Kent has had a good game and if they’d kicked straight he’d have been involved in 4 or 5 goals in just the last quarter alone.

Can't stand it just like everyone else here. It's dropped in quality so much since I was a kid.

The Channel 7 commentators are briefed to dumb down the game and not get too tactical to ensure the game feels accessible to wider audiences – to its detriment in my opinion. You don't hear American football commentators leaving out all the technical stuff or Formula 1 commentators. Watching the Tour de France is only really possible because of the commentary (in my opinoin). It adds multiple other layers on top of what is hopefully already an interesting game.

Anyway, I watch the footy via the Kayo app on a Smart TV with the sound off and then listen to the SEN commentary via my iphone. It's really easy to sync them with Kayo as you can just pause for a second to let the radio catch up or fast forward when needed, etc. Replays I watch back with Ch 7 which by that point you can just laugh at the biases when they appear.

Umpiring is disgusting

If only we had a full forward to kick to.

Have just returned home after breakfast out with the family. We were seated right near the whole Viney clan, including Jack and Todd - will take that as a good omen. Dees by 148.

Midfield needs to be fixed. Can still win it from here if we adapt to the tactics they’re using.

Soooo who’s making it to the game?

(Would normally attend but unfortunately I’m 868km (according to Google Maps) too far away from being able to utilize the outside of the ground as part of my daily exercise for a run and sneak in a few glimpses while I listen to the radio broadcast)

Took a few mins but I got there in the end. Thought Viney was playing. Stop getting my hopes up.

Weird time for a game of footy – 4:35 (4:05 Adelaide time) on a Saturday avo. Basically a night game after half time as the sun sets at 5.15.

Buddy looks to be cooked. He’s either playing injured or he’s just tipped over the edge.

2 x Free Adult reserve seat tickets for tonight.

Have been away and totally forgot that I opted in to get tickets via our memberships so happy to give away to someone that hasn’t yet organized tickets for themselves.

Seats are on Level 2 and each adult seat comes with a child seat (age up to 5) with it - but the child seat was free / included so doesn’t have to be utilized.

Direct Message me on here if keen.

Cheers

Is Dean Kent not being selected? Thought he must be injured but he ain’t on the injury list. Not sure he would have helped, just keen to know.
