With the country family membership you get one free ticket (per family member) to an interstate game in which Melbourne is playing. This is that one game?

Regardless, try to get to the ground really early and if you have an issue PM me and I’ll see if my DA BFF can do something to help. 

I used mine for this one but Josh can use his at the Suns game.

Then why fly May up there?

Keep Lions guessing

I hope the team trained with soap on the pills as it could be quite damp with humidity up here Friday night. 31 during day and min of 20 overnight. Be a warm one. Looking forward to going and trust we play like the last round in 22. Not the final!!!

looked to me that geelong ran out of puff and put the cue in the rack half way through the the third quarter.

fitness or age or both?

From what the Fox guys were saying it is only one month difference between the 2 sides in age and games played so I would say the Magpies game plan is the worry for the Cats. Remember the Pies should have won that prelim last year.

Will have sons and grand kids around to watch on Fox and as its early evening game by Qld time, tossing up whether to eat before or at half time however leaning towards half time as you should not EAT on a empty stomach. Might need a few VB's to ease the nerves prior to game, then maybe a red when we have it in the bag.

Would prefer to back someone that knows the game like Buckley. He has Oliver, Gawn and May in his best 5. 3/5 not bad.

Let's leave Fritta and WCW alone for now and get back on track with the practice game tomorrow. Will be watching on Fox up here in Qld and expect a good work out as the Tigers have a pretty good team. Likewise us so should be a cracking game providing the wind down there at Casey is kind.

Might have been just a practise match but the Weid di himself no favours. Sounds familiar.

Also my favourite GF since 64,

The lack of value that some still place on this bloke astounds me.  His presence makes us much better, and gives the opposition huge headaches.

Maybe some do not value him but please take care to read the first sentence of my post. Thanks.

Whilst Viney is very important to us I believe we have cover with the likes of Sparrow, Jordan, Rivers etc. for what I hope is only a short time out, if at all.

Can someone please confirm the ticketing situation for this game. I thought I read free entry but, if so, I assume you would need to get there pretty early before thousands of Richmond fans descend on the ground.

Ffrom the AFL site it is free entry. Doubt the Tigers fans will descend on Casey. They have no money for petrol !

Tracking the right way’: Demons confident of Pickett deal

Promising.

This home base stuff is doing my head in. We were slack back in the days when we got turfed out of the MCG and have been nomads ever since. I've just turned 70 and pay for my twin 16 year old grand sons membership albeit as a interstate one but I only hope they get to see us have a home base before they turn 70 !!.

Correct but it wasn't that one.

Gabba?

Got no idea how Jon Ralph has a job. When they go to him on Fox I turn the TV over!

Removing my red and blue glasses, I still consider us to have the strongest and deepest list which is adequately and logically supported by the Casey premiership. 

Pass mark for me is another flag and to achieve that I reckon we’ll have to beat Brisbane in the Granny, who imo have assembled a very strong squad. 

With you here McQueen on the deep list and flag however no use having a deep list if we don't rest some sore players during the year and play our depth. This is where IMO we fell down in 22. Coaching depo need to do a Cats and give those sore bodies a rest every now and again.. Can't go into finals all banged up again.

Wishing him well but boy he needs to get a bit of mongrel in him if he wants to be a decent AFL player.

Forward line to actually work. I would love that.

Goody goes against his own pig headed beliefs and plays the better performers in the twos when some in the ones are sore. Turn the players over and see who can play or some with a bit of potential will go.

Clarry wins the Brownlow.

Terrific report and in particular the comments on JVR. If he can mark like Greg Parke and play like Schwarter then we have an out and out champion.

I have no clue but would assume the club chats with the footy dept. and players. Players seem to like playing at Alice and we go OK there so I have no problem in us playing someone like GWS in Alice.

Why would a team trade pick 4 for two future picks likely to be around 14 and 16?  I guess we must be throwing in a 2nd rounder

I back the recruiters. They would know how good a pick 6 would be in their view.

Yep we got to trust the back room people in that they know allot more than us mere supporters. Must have something in mind and if it doesn't work out then we still go into next years draft with a pretty good hand.

Way to go Gil 👍🏽

Yep. Tried and missed out. Gil as the CEO is at fault here but like all good people in power/politicians you don't here from them when the poo hits the fan. Bit like the Premier up here in Qld. Gets out in front of cameras when a good news story is to be said but goes into hiding when it gets tough. Let's hope our girls get going not like the powers to be when it get's tough.

By the way where is the Women's CEO. Livingston or somebody like that I presume. Got no idea about footy.

That's it for me on the ranting. Enough said and nothing will change those idiots at AFL HQ. Just do it Ladies and give the Lions a horrible hiding in the heat up here on Sunday.
