Fritta and Turner

Warm day here in Cairns, with some wind. Freo, they have a good record on this ground.

So marginal player Hunt plays a blinder? in possibly the last game of the year - how MFC is that. I think Melky is kept in the team for leadership and balance. And his excellent observation skills like I think thats the ball; yes it was. Go Freo.

Close to goal. If you saw the one he kicked to perfection across the wind at Cairns - has some smarts, not like the other dumb clucks.

Baker Rivers Spargo No Key Fwd Umpiring was amateur

The Killers play in Cairns at Cazalys - with my luck it will be blowing a gale, got seats on the wrong side of the ground and don't hear or see a thing. 17 BF winners ask for a trade to the Dees - with our luck they won them in the 80's

Me - I give up

24 degrees, quite pleasant, still windy but it has dropped, trying to drizzle....after last weeks non performance I'm not going....

It is very windy and warm here in Cairns. It should be cool enough by tonight and the wind should drop down after dark but you will want to kick a bag with the wind. Possibility of light showers.

Everyone get a brace as it is still windy in Cairns. Mind you this game starts latter than Thursdays - the wind dropped at 6.00pm so it may be less of an issue. Whatever our defense when the Swans were kicking against the wind was terrible.

One thing I can tell you, the images on the 'Big Screen' at Cazaly are smaller than the actual players

Played dumb footy for the conditions; when the wind dropped at half time we went ok. Back 6 were terrible; Swans knew how to play the Weid; dont let him crunch the pack, crunch him in the pack.

Time to hang up the boots

MFC - Played Dumb Footy

Gates open in 1 hour. Nearly ready to head off. Nights have been cool so wearing long pants for the first time in 6 months. It is currently warm and windy. I am not excited, I'm hysterical. Now c'mon the Dees.

It's raining and cold here at the moment. Can I just say I've got tickets?

Past : Tassie Johnson, Robbie Flower defied the laws of motion, Lyon for leadership, Neitz we took for granted - Wiz and Jako for entertainment Current : Trac has turned into the player we all hoped for, Salem cool as a cucumber

Conspiracy theories.....ummm yes; the Prime Minister, Mr D Andrews has directed the umpires to favour those clubs with working class (coal mining) roots. What about the Swannies you may ask? Most of the directors own a coal mine. Another quiet day in TNQ.

Hope I can get tickets to the Cairns games

Against Norf the whole team was smiling; haven't seen such a happy Dees bunch in a long time. If you are ever feeling flat watch the last quarter.

I think it is a bit rich coming from Wallace who's club made many do a long apprenticeship in the magoos before selection.

Already one of our best trades in ages. Has pace and endurance, works up and down the ground really hard.

If memory serves me correct they will be saying "That wasn't Hawthorn out there today"

I thought we pushed that button back in the 70's

If i remember we started really flat in that game, which surely must be preparation....

he is there as rover
