leave it to deever

I'm sure we will win but it's not looking like the one we expected and we have Geelong next week. Really need some leadership now.

It's not raining. I don't understand why we are making these basic skills errors and fumbles.

I know it's early and we've missed a few but we have to be better than this. That unpressured kick from Viney straight to a tigers player was strange. We seen to be making quite a few unforced errors. Our backline as usual has been good but it's our midfielders not dominating again. We look lacking in confidence and intensity somewhat.

Does anyone think we look flat handballing it to players in a worst position?

Tigers are terrible but we ain't playing too well either.

Max looks in typical Max form. Three marks.

Kozzys back.

Isn't young the old version?

How loud is that moment of silence with such a big crowd.

6:57pm – Australian Army Band 7:01pm – Corangamite Light Horse Troop enter arena for lap of honour 7:02pm – Players enter arena and line up in front of stage 7:05pm – Eternal Flame lit by Garth Callender 7:05pm – Ode to the Fallen 7:06pm – Last Post 7:07pm – New Zealand & Australian national anthems 7:11pm – Joint banner raised; teams run through

And his right leg has been reattached.

Crowd looks a little thin on the telly.

Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue . Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins. Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts. I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb. The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening. Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

Was worth it reading some of the stories. But sad too. Enjoy the evening and day tmrw NC.

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go. Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

Will be happy hour around 9 to 10 pm hopefully. I wouldn't call that cheap but haven't bought a beer in Melbourne for a while.

There is a wonderful scene from one of its episodes. Unfortunately I can't recall which one. But I'll set the scene. Beaver one afternoon had done something wrong and the Father at dinner time gave him a stern dressing down. The next scene at breakfast the next day has the mother saying to the father..... "Gee you were a bit hard on the old beaver last night".

Tx Dad.

Bravo. Perhaps a shout out to You ain't seen nothing yet by Backman- TURNER Overdrive. It ain't Disco but his namesake gets a guernsey.

Lest we forget mate. That is an incredibly fascinating story where it could be argued that one of Australia s premier airline had its inception from a couple of decent card hands. What a savvy investment during a war. A portable camera in WW1 was a certain rare item that would be in high demand. Sending possible last photos of oneself to loved ones would make one pay a pretty Penny or Pound. My mom reckoned her dad never talked about the war either except the nurse who looked after him in a French hospital. Apparently my mom was named after her. Not sure how my Grandma thought about it all.

I have to admit that was a damn good take out. Doh.

A shoutout on behalf of all Dlanders if I may, to those associated with.... https://www.defence.gov.au/defence-activities/operations Thank you.

Made the same post in game day thread. My sister had two of my Grandfather's done. I think it was the department of defence. It's a great way to honour loved ones. And many Ww 1 haven't survived over the years.

So impressed with Tmacs return to form. I just hope Bbb can back to how he was against the dogs. I thought Tmac was done and dusted but he has re.. reinvented himself down back again and doing a very solid job. As for Bbb I think he may have been hampered by his injuries again in his last two outings and so yea he sadly needs a break.

That's the same year my Grandfather died. We also called him pop or more specifically Poppy. I remember as a young kid my mother and I would pick him up every Friday Arvo from the Elsternwick RSL and take him home after he'd had a bellow load of beer. As a young kid that RSL club seemed to have the same ambience and reverence of our local Catholic Church. Funny the things that impress upon you as a youngster. Maybe they both knew each other.
