In Harmes Way

I took that one literally Biff (because I agreed with the sentiment) - then I worked it out....

Any more surprises GNF??

I blame myself TPF. I was playing golf that day, got back to the clubhouse and the game was on the telly. It was halfway through the second qtr, and we were giving them a towelling. From the point I sat down, we stopped and the wheels completely fell off. I humbly apologise. I have learned my lesson.

I'm sure the AFL has legal obligations to provide a safe workplace and accordingly hope they undertake due diligence via inspection by expert before sanctioning to use the venue to cover their backsides. I also hope they are contingency planning, but I think they'd need to call it (a change in venue) today/tomorrow am latest and can't see this happening with timing of other games planned at the G. I also hope they are using the right dirt glue (earlier post still tickling my funny bone)

This is what the article is suggesting, though. We've got roughly 70 supporters, and 34 of them are going to the footy (48.7%)

And the fact that we'll be playing in finals has stuffed my September holidays plans

Footy season can't come quickly enough....

Great article, it's almost as I've written it myself because I agree with it all (except Weed being our top draft pick in 2015 - I won't ever forget the moment we picked up Clearance).

Shows you how much these captains know dc i know for a fact that Dane Swan won't make the finals this year

Bookmark this, I agree

Sound of crickets....

I'd email or call the experiences team at the club. They organise interstate trips, all inclusive. I called them last year as I went to the Gold Coast game up there with my boy; we'd already booked flights so they determined there wasn't much more they could do to help other than sell me tickets in the Melbourne supporters area and told me which hotel they were using so I could catch up in the bar for a beer afterwards. They told me at that point that there was about 20 going for the GCS game but only 4-5 for the Alice game (but it was still early in the season, so I'm not sure what the final numbers were). great idea for remembering your dad. Shame it wasn't the Adelaide game, I'd happily have caught up for a beer and a yak.

As long as we have learnt from last year that bringing in under cooked talent (Brayshaw, Essendon) is still under cooked. Long season, better off with a fit 22 where there's any doubt. I'd put Kent into this category, hopefully not Garlett...

It would be nice to kick two goals in a row....is that asking too much?

WA based SEN callers have Oliver BOG at half time also said that in discussion with Mish Cowan that she'd picked Oliver as a future Brownlow winner. Good eye for talent, Cowan, shame we lost her.

Don't let Goody hear that you haven't done your pre-season uncle bitters. You need to be watching/having a glass of red with the right levels of intensity...

The Demonland sniffer dogs were all over this one, with the lack of any updates coming out of the club. Disappointing outcome, but not altogether unexpected.

Just wait for the debate to start up like it did 12 mths ago on the merits of taking these players from Essendrug and the risks that come with it....

Happily post on this website every positive act Jack Watts contributed that led to the win

Tom Mac is also prone to missing the odd kick here or there, but you don't see anybody on this site make an example of him...

Oh, and good to see Dom, Garlo and Jack Trengove in the team as well

Notable inclusions: Jack Watts now we can all get back to our regular lives and worry about where in the 8 we're going to finish

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...Earl is clearly one eyed and must have been looking with his other one.

I reckon he looks a bit like Brian Dixon I only hope he plays in more premiership sides...
