Great day to be at the G, 30oC a bit warm , 44,000 in the stands mainly ours, reasonable crowd noise hard and tough in the first half. It was a relatively stress free game to watch we took everything that the Dogs threw at us and didn’t buckle. I said to my wife and daughter at half time let’s see just how fit we are in these hot conditions and we weren’t disappointed the longer the game went the better we looked. Team work was excellent and as mentioned by earlier posters TMac, BBB , Salo and Marty Hore were all rock solid, our stars Max, Tracc, Clayton,JV, Steve, Rick, Jack Billings and ANB all starred and they were all supported by our young brigade lead by Riv, Kozzie, Chin plus our relative new boys all pitching in together. Very satisfying win….!!!

6 - Max 5 - May 4 - Clayton 3 - Jack Billings 2 - Tracc 1 - Kade Chandler Also so impressed with JV, TMac, BBB & Marty Hore plus all of our younger Brigade what a team effort.!!!

Ed - Good second half.

Agree BBP no point rushing him back if hasn’t fully recovered, use Brown, Fullarton and TMac until he is cherry ripe.

We have a car load coming to the game today, I am really looking forward to being back at the G surrounded by familiar faces and watching our regulars and newbies have a great game. Really interested in seeing how our boys respond to our off season issues. Dees by 30 in a hard fought tussle. Bring it on Dees.!!!

Having Gus on the bench as the conduit between coaches and players on match days will be a big boon for our playing group - Starting tomorrow.❤️💙💕

Thanks Kev Martin and Dee Zephyr for the great updates, greatly appreciated.

I think that a lot of D supporters and players underestimated Swans last week, feeling a little better about the loss tonight, great effort Swans and Heeney is a ripper.

The top 10 are looking great WJ but we are unlikely to get a look in, probably more likely picks 15 upward unless we crash and burn. What are the KPF/KPD prospects like in ‘24 do they go deep?

Their top 10 better than our and their bottom six better than ours as well. Poor effort all around.

Thanks KC look forward to getting some updates during the game.😁

You’re not alone Jontee I thought Tomlinson was one of our best but he mustn’t have followed team plan or something that I didn’t detect on the night. Whereas I thought that McVee also played well for most of the night and did a number of great kicks, I may have given him votes.

Thanks BDA Kate always makes sense, it is definitely more enjoyable watching the Dees play when we are surrounded by like minded supporters making a lot of noise.😁

What did Kate say BDA?

Thanks George_o_t_o it is great to see the file up and running for 2024 even if the numbers are down quite a bit, two failed finals series have had their impact. We need some wins to rekindle belief.!!

He’s too young to go to Geeelong and still has six years left on his contract with us plus he is very close to Tracc and Max. Click bait, media are still grasping at straws to get people to read their rubbish.

Congratulations WCW grand parenting is easier and much more enjoyable than parenting, you can spoil them with a clear conscience and hand them back to mum and dad, knowing the you will always be their favourite.

Good to see you up and about WCW, glad you made it home from that Hell hole OK.😁

Fullarton needs to come in and make an impact, he JVR and Fritsch need to work closely together to split up the defenders and our small need to crumb not compete in the air with them, open up the forward line isolate the defenders kick some easy goals. Jefferson is more a Fritta type of player but 7cm taller, probably better suited to a half forward flank at least initially but still 12 months off. Petty and JVR are our power fwd’s, we desperately need them out on the park with Fullarton and Fritsch.

Enjoyed Kev Martin’s Training Report yesterday, majority of our players trained hard, it’s much cooler this morning, the gardeners have turned up to mow the lawns, looking forward to Sundays game, thank goodness it is an early start, my wife will get home in time for MAF’s, Idol and whatever, humidity should be low although forecast 29oC. Looking forward to seeing if the MCG surface is still in one piece for our game……………..!! Not reading any media garbage. 🤣

48,880 todays numbers.😁

The Colt is certainly made of the right stuff, wrestling JV after a heavy training session, love it.!!

Thanks Kev greatly appreciated it would have been hot and windy down at Gosh’s today.

Hi Kev did Woey get any extra attention from coaches, what did you glean from the training run??

Remember Rif, it’s he who laughs last……..,,!!
