  1. I tipped the lions with great confidence.

    Scrap that, they are a rabble.

    Basically been surviving on their 52 win eight losses at the Gabba ratio.

    Now they can't even win there.

    Cameron is a gun but their other two big names up fwd are very inconsistent.

    naysayer recently. Gather Round and our draw etc. Rejecting prices that you don’t like ( your absolute privilege) but we need some occasions in our lives that are a little overpriced as well as the bargains we can gloat about for years. 

    I missed out in the ticket frenzy for my SA cousin and myself. Luckily his lovely wife got busy and two family outlaw Crows fans who were going away and had contacts rescued us. 

    Yes I am staying at cousin land in suburban Adelaide now for 5 days for 2 bottles of great Penfolds wine for the tickteers and about 2 shouts of lunch/dinner at Adelaide’s sensational dining scene for dinner/lunch. 

    Now that’s the bargain !

    But 2021 is the hero story.

    Stayed in SA for 2 weeks with relies and did a Kangaroo Is plus up country to my fathers birthplace in the Copper area of Moonta and to Clare for some wine relief. 

    Off to Perth GF Eve for the big games vs the Dogs. Waited all my life ( am in 70,s now) had friend in Perth spare bedroom me for 5 days and soaked up all that glorious event could offer for our long awaited 13th flag. 

    The catch !!

    Ticket price was $456 for the GF good seat however on Angus 3rd quarter wing!! 

    Too much for the ticket ?? Reject it?? No it is priceless and so many  memories. 

    BTW I consider $ 200 about the upper limit to con

    A regular naysayer?

    Seriously 58er do have some sort of impairment where you just make things up.

    You sound like Trump.

    Or maybe he's someone you admire.

    One or two comments about not liking gather round and the cost of living don't exactly equate to regular.

    To be fair, If anyone is a naysayer, it's your good self. You often criticize other posters simply for having a different view.

    Good gracious. Imagine if everyone had the same opinions. 

    Don't be so so sensitive if someone says something you don't like. You don't have to exaggerate or name call.

    Did I begrudge you spending that money going to the GF?

    No. I didn't even know about it. It's none of my business.

    You are a master of fabrication and hyperbole. 

    Anyway try and enjoy yourself and maybe refrain from reading my posts if they irritate you.

    Just use the block function, this site offers.

    Perhaps before you use words like naysayer, you could note the irony of your many criticisms of others.

    Just some free advice.

    Looking at the Sportsbet odds, Port at $1.46 and Demons $2.66 indicates punters see us as a significant underdog. I don’t recall odds like this since 2020.

    It's hard for betting agencies to tune odds early in the season.

    A lot of it is gleamed from last year's performances.

    That's why I believe these are odds are good for us. I believe we are more of a chance than they imply.

    Of course there is the home ground advantage ( but we do ok in Adelaide) and May out but we do have significant defence depth.

    I believe like the Hawks game our mids will dominate and we get the chocolates.

    Port should be worried about all our smalls firing too . Anb, Kozzy and Chandler look to be very dangerous.

    And even if you tag Oliver than Tracca or JV will just pull you apart.

    Bbb seems to moving quite well and Tmac has shown some of his old defending form.

    We have looked more like our 21 team of late.

    BTW I consider $ 200 about the upper limit to concerts for superstars or stage shows.

    Yes Gather Round maybe not quite the same but life is living and it’s a probable  once only to be cherished and enjoyed. 
     

    Maybe I just have different priorities. I am very concerned about my children securing a deposit for a house. 

    As such Im happy to go without concerts and expensive sporting events. No way I'll spend 200 bucks to see a concert.

    What you call naysaying, I call love.

    Ps I don't begrudge you paying $ 465 to go the the gf.

    Money very well spent.

    I just know my kids are very worried about securing a property one day and it's certainly not going to get easier.

    As such Im happy to go without.

    Perhaps I shouldn't complain about prices that others are happy to pay.

    Cheers.

    • Finlayson 197cm
    • Marshall 198cm
    • Dixon 200cm

     

    • McDonald 195cm
    • Lever 194cm
    • Hore 190cm

     

    Significant height issues down back if Petty is forward. Add in a sore Lever, who is better as an intercept than man defender... not hugely confidence.

    I don't like Tomlinson but at least you can give him a job and it gives Lever more freedom and/or allows Petty to play forward.

    Works both ways though.

    * Jvr 193cm

    *Harrison Petty 197 cm

    * Bbb 200 cm.

    I'm hoping our mids who have been in cracking form will dominate the clearances and starve ports fwd line of supply.

    The big positive is finally our small brigade our impacting the scoreboard in aanb....kozzy and chin.

    I personally would have Tommo as a sub in case Hore can't do the job or we lose a tall in Bbb or Petty. 

    I think #Jadednomore was correct and we will see Petty up fwd again.

    I hope so. Last week after a long absence from competition footy he took two great marks in the first ) sadly he didn't convert) and helped get our first goal through Kozzy.

    Worse case without Tommo is Petty swings back.

    Strange night for adjudication. The official free kick count was 30 to 20 in Collingwood’s favour for a total of 50 free kicks on the night. I recall quite a few holding the ball decisions being paid that were of a kind let go in last weekend’s Hawthorn v Melbourne game so I checked the stats from that game (20 - 17). That’s 26% less and I’m wondering if the AFL has issued a directive to the umpires about enforcing the holding the ball rule this week? I guess we’ll see as the round unfolds.

    They were probably under a directive from the cfc re the saints game.

    The difference in umpiring htb in our game and last night was huge.

    It was weird they let it go so much in our game.

    Just got a seat for $75 to sit in the nose bleeds behind the goals at the river end.

    Free for MFC members or $35 for the same seat Vs Adelaide in Gather Round 5 days later.

    Take your family of four with no concessions, parking and snacks and booze and you'd be lucky to be under 400 bucks.

    Sheesh
