Well the 4 of us will leave after the Melb game & I assume others will especially if wet so there’ll def be empty seats at both games. Looks like our game will hopefully start in dryish weather

It’s overcast & very windy at the moment ..should be like playing at Casey …

I knew about it Dec 2022 & 4 of us made the decision to drive & booked our accommodation pre xmas. That’s how early the round dates were announced

True …so I’ll watch the Dees & def won’t hang around to watch Port

Hmmm …a very simplistic view. I’m all in favour of trying new ideas to grow the game & kudos to the AFL for trying and the clubs embracing it. SA along with most of Australia & indeed the world are suffering from the after effects of COVID along with the other problems that normally affect us …floods..fire etc. if this puts the spotlight on SA .. grows their tourism & brings $ into the state …good on them. Hopefully the flow on effect on juniors playing footy will also improve with the exposure there will be to footy this weekend as I believe SA is struggling a bit in this area. Let’s see how it goes before we make “grandstanding” statements..

Well I’ll be there for the Melb v ESS game ..I’ll let you know 🤔

He looked like a player who missed 2 weeks through suspension & therefore a bit of gameday form. As the game progressed so did his touch.

TMac went back to Two’s for poor form. BB was playing well ..an injury ..

He’s managing Achilles tenderness

Maybe we worry about Salem when he’s ready to return …

Where did it state 8 years ? Interested because I’ve read that there was some old stuff a few years ago but some of this is relatively new ..

Give due where it’s due . Bris absolutely deserved the win. No ruckman caused problems for the Pies ..when you have to use McStay..Johnson or Frampton in the ruck then it leaves them vulnerable in those areas. They’re a good team the Pies but they are vulnerable like most teams when key players are missing..

🥱

Or maybe they lose 3 or more players which would be the equivalent of us losing Gawn ..

Is this your game day post ?

True …but ANB plays a position that literally no-one else can play .

ANB will def not be dropped !!!!

TMac playing

So true …it would good if we could show some of the arrogance of supporters on the Sydney forum

Considering BB’s knee issues..I’d absolutely hate to see him taking 2nd ruck ..same for TMac with his foot issues. JVR is young & healthy..has played ruck at VFL level and is a far better option

I would not rubbish Jackson ..he is a Premiership player & should rightly hold a specific place in our red & blue hearts. But he quite simply went for the $ & with that comes extremely high expectations. Don’t forget he served his apprenticeship under arguably one of the best modern day ruckman & also one of the most selfless. At his feet were one of the most talented modern day midfields. Will he reach his potential now ..who knows..would I boo him ..never.. do I want him to do well ..no !

What a quandary for all our “glass half full” D’land supporters. We thrashed Bulldogs & we’re on our way to a premiership. We lose to Bris & get thrashed but after extraordinary circumstances we come out & reduce the margin to 11 points but that’s because Bris just “ didn’t try “ & then the sentiment was that maybe our win against the Bulldogs wasn’t that good because they lost to St Kilda. Right now Bulldogs are beating Bris… look forward to how they spin this. Always good to remember that it’s probably worthwhile waiting till we’re 6 games or so in before we feed our MFCSS 😏

So disagree with the “no real motivation “ comment. If the popular opinion is true & they are GF aspirants…% is a massive factor in any season. They dropped around 15% in that 11mins & with their % sitting around 79% they had everything to play for. How interesting you dismiss our preseason form ..our WB win & also our last 11 mins of the Lions game . Let’s wait till we’re a few games in before such massive negativity…

He did pretty much the whole preseason bar the last couple of weeks

He played ruck with the afl bulldogs ..a lot
