Wow DD given our poor stats I am amazed that we we were able to hang in there until the last five minutes of the game. We just need to get our team to lift marginally to get back to the winning list.!!

I watched the game from home last night and totally enjoyed the first half, goals came so easy for both sides and I was surprised by the lack of pressure. That changed during the third and although Dogs appeared to be the better side we worked harder and stayed in the game but our goals started to dry up. Both sides were looking a bit tired by the end of the 3rd but we were hanging in the game. I never thought that we were going to lose but a few unforced errors, missed opportunities and umps decisions really started to cost us whenever we looked like gaining some momentum and at the half way mark of the last I could see the cracks appearing, even when they hit the front we still had time to get it back then U - H goaled and that was it. 10 points down game over.😢😪

I.E- Demons hold the ball Dogs don’t.?????

MFC - they overran us.!!

6 - Max 5 - Gus 4 - 1 hand Clarry 3 - Sparrow 2 - Fritsch 1 - May ( despite that howler to Bont) We really missed Langdon’s dominance last night, Hibbo was good even when out on his feet, Weid went alright, the umps punished Jack at every opportunity and he gave them a few. We had no one who could go with Ugle- Hagen. That last 4 minutes cost us again.!!!

Good on you Harmsey.!!

That was a great win by the Casey boys today, there were a few doggies who played in the Granny running around today and they dominated the hit outs by a fair margin, yet we still ended up with a great win. We must be doing a lot right.!!!!!

Woop woop keep ‘em coming folks.!!!

WCW he had a lot of people following, our group included, the cheer squad handed out flags to us and they and our voices got a great work with Kozzies heroics.😀😀👍 ps( we had a chat to two of the Port cheer squad ladies and they said there was a bit of a rift between their squad and some of the players.😢).

Not sure what happened there but we just arrived in Adelaide to let the humiliated Power supporters get off. WCW Our Cheer squad are also on this flight.😀will be glad to get back home tonight.!!!

What a great venue, we were sitting in a small stand not far from the cheer squad, Kozzie did some of his best work right in front of us and we got right in behind him as did the locals. I was surprised how easy Power were able to beat us at clearances, they have a very good game plan that is well drilled and they always have players in the clear and hit them up with monotonous regularity. We really had to grind this win out. Kozzie and Tracc were clearly our best two players out there. There are a lot of distractions at the game, eagles soaring in the background, the locals and toilets that would bring a tear to your eye if you were female.😳😳.!!not to mention the McDonald Ranges.

Christian Salem is super lean looks like he needs some more meat on his bones. Lol.!!

Agree DG Fritters skill is that he can kick goals from any angle and usually does and apart from one stuff up we thought that he played his role well despite some heavy contact from the Port boys before and after disposal. Being at the game there were numerous times when the ball bounced really strangely bouncing sideways over their heads totally different to what the players were expecting which cost us a couple of goals.

Forgot the west McDonald Ranges that run east west for 620km’s.!!

6 - Kozzie- exceptional game 5 - Tracc - a game winner at work 4 - Langdon - provided the out 3 - Jack - worked so hard under pressure 2 - May - kept us in it early 1 - BBB - really got involved today the 2 / 1 vote could have gone to Hibbo, Salem, Harmes, Sparrow, JJ or Thommo.

Watching from up close Harmes laid some great tackles and played his role.

We went down for a latish breakfast and we’re sitting there eating breakfast with the majority of players standing and sitting around the pool chatting and texting just outside the restaurant window. They look really good, then at 10:00 the whole squad and coaches headed off for a walk together. We are heading off to the ground at 1:00 so fingers crossed we can have a win. So happy the Roos and Swans won.!!!

The Mercure.😀

Just to add to our great day we had dinner with four Dee supporters at our Hotel restaurant and our whole team had dinner in a function room next to the restaurant. Tracc’s mum and several other parents were seated several tables over from ours so got to see Tracc, Sparrow, Salo and a grumpy Clarry up close. We didn’t get to speak to them but it was fun seeing the boys wanders around whilst we ate and kept an eye on the scores. It was a bit surreal to be honest.!!!!

Thanks BBO it’s going to be a long quiet trip home otherwise. I am hoping for a 24 point win.!!!

Just on a lighter side of the coin I ran into Adem Yze earlier today I was coming back from the laundry and Adem opened the door for me. My wife came scorching down the stairs and said hello and wished him and the team all the best. Then whilst walking into Alice we passed Ed Langdon and Adam Tomlinson on the Todd River bridge and Ed gave us a big hello and we responded and wished them all the best for tomorrow, how nice was that.!!!

Not in Alice Springs, there are a lot of indigenous kids up here and I think that the Elders would approve of our NARRM jumper.👍👌🤘💕💕

Well Dlanders my wife and I are about to board our flight to Uluṟu and heading to the game in Alice on Sunday so dearly hope that the Dees are on fire on Sunday. It’ll be a sad flight home on Monday otherwise.!!!

What an absolute Legend of the game and MFC great so glad that Noel finally saw his beloved Dees break the drought. RIP Noel McMahen.❤️💙

Apart from the concussion which is serious enough, messing in one’s own nest also would have serious ramifications and impact self confidence, standing within the group and internal disappointment with one self. Even if the team forgive and move on he has to find that inner peace before he can move on and catch up. After all we can be our own worse enemies when we screw up.hopefully he can forgive himself and get back to his elite best but he may need help.!!!
