In Harmes Way

Is his nickname Basil?

More probably that we still don’t have a home to store it in

Is his nickname Basil?

Is that the actual cover band playing on the live stream? Theyre as bad as we were this year

Something in this Ethan. Average disposals for the top 5 - Fyfe 29.2, Dangerfield 27.1, Cripps 28.1, Neale 30.9, T Kelly 25.4 Neale would have won it on this basis if they had the home crowd factor that Freo enjoy.

He will always be fondly remembered to me for this. Ran right past us, will never forget the look on my boy's face when he nailed this.....

Good idea dp. I won't be able to make it, but my queries are: 1. Joel Smith did not play all year after being left on the ground in a practice match clearly injured. Convince me this was not incompetence on the part of coaches/medical team. 2. Steven May turned up to the club unfit/overweight and missed more games this year than his last five years. How are we preparing both returning players this year and trade-ins/draftees alike given May was clearly not informed on expectations before arrival. 3. How was an even more immature forward line than last year with the loss of Hogan and Weideman part time allowed to be run under a first year line coach for as long as it was? In fact, what was the basis for giving Rooke the gig in the first place, I'd have expected a more experienced coach for a less experienced forward line. 4. If the board was forewarned before the season commenced that our pre-season was disastrous with respect to lack of fitness, why were the members not given ANY indication of this. Short term revenues gain from more members, upgraded membership categories including gf guarantees etc will now be more than offset next year with reduced memberships next year because we've got a board that are evidently not transparent and honest with their members. 5. Give me an example where we tried a Plan B in a game that wasn't going well.

You made me go and look it up you bugger. It's actually Norman.

Mate if there was snow then, I’d be there

Nice summary joeboy Lockhart a bit better than a bit player, I think you’ve nailed the rest

No point going to the B&F this year, send Bluey in the post to Max and save on what will be another financial loss for the club. He should do well in the Brownlow as well this year, nobody to pinch his votes.

We've already got one Daisy as a mascot, don't need two

It’s strange opening a game day thread on a Friday! Dees fancied to win by the bookies, I hope they’re right. Last chance to get to a game unless you’re @Clintosaurus - get along if you can, it might marginally improve our chances for Friday night games next year!

Yeah - let's get Malthouse. Could be a director of coaches?

Carey did all his best work in the off season.

Mind boggling to think that, when he was part of the 1961 team to lose the Preliminary final to Footscray, he missed what would have been his 8th grand final in a row. Vale Bluey. Condolences to the family.

Do you reckon Gil would give GWS a priority pick if Coniglio leaves?

Easy to potshot Gus here, but if you look closely at the vision as the ball is in dispute, there's 5 Dees players vs 3 Pies players contesting the ball. At that point, Gus is moving away from Pendlebury in anticipation of the ball coming out to our advantage. We should be potting others that lost the ball, and who let the ball get to Sidebottom before we have a go at Gus.

I can't be certain from this angle, but I'm pretty sure this is the horse I backed in last year's Melbourne Cup.

Are the doggies tanking as well?

Don’t have a problem with old though jumbo!

Gees there’s some grumpy old bastards out today. Dark, wet and cold.

The demon looks awesome @Demonland I'd vote to leave it there permanently

I'd like to arrive at our destination of a premiership at some point It feels like our journey involves circling above the airport in a holding pattern for 50 years.

They should play it after Hells Bells....
