Let's ride

We'll be there early as my boy is part of the guard of honour as the team runs out onto the 'G'!

Just caught myself reading an article on SEN about "why the Dockers will make the eight". I got halfway before I thought to myself, this is really sick stuff your doing here illbarto. Could be a tough year for the footy tipping with the Pies and the Purples losing every weekend.

And Clarry, like me will be covered in sunscreen

I'm going to go and stand on my own here but in some ways a facility down at Casey can be a good thing. As a lifestyle option for a professional footballer living down the peninsula can be attractive. Works for Geelong.

What a legend of a fellow. So well spoken at the event too

No change for me. Trac couldn't get any power out of his legs after the first quarter knock/strain. If Trac was fit we win that game tonight.

Sen reporting Yze is to coach GWS next year. All the best to him, he's been great for us in his short time with Goodwin, I just hope he sees out the finals series.

Couldn't agree more Binman. Joel Selwood invented dropping at the knees and raising an arm it's only the fact that Ginnivan has a bit of personality that he gets picked out, I for one don't mind him, it's good to have a villain. I reckon Kosi had missed a few frees this year as a result of his ducking/ arm raising. Makes it bloody hard for the umpires I'm glad they don't show slow motion replays of my work day.

My kingdom for a Tom MacDonald

I disagree, from a business perspective our goal is to build our supporter base and thus our market share. I can't see Tex bringing any supporters with him.

I always thought Hawkins was rubbish until a couple of years ago so I guess the Weid has a few years before I should pass my final judgement

So Ben Brown can't lead because his legs are tired and he needs a carry. We must keep this from the children.

Mmm bugger, I had a look and could only see Narrm polos. Maybe give the demonshop at the 'G' a call tomorrow sometimes they have a few bits and pieces still around.

From the MFC website, grab one of they are still there it's lovely

In other news... I bought my wife a Narrm scarf and it arrived today. It's luxurious! 100% Australian wool and made in Melbourne, I had assumed it was going to be the same junk as the members scarves.

I wouldn't say I feel sorry for teams but I would never want any other supporter to feel the way I did during the dark years.

In his interview with Gus & Gawny (other than chatting about wanting to hurt someone in the Grand final) he mentions that until this pre season he hadn't been able to do a skills session for years because of the need to rest his feet. He noted how this was affecting his kicking etc. Kept him mean though.

Jordon was fantastic today. There were a couple of plays right in front of us where his composure and footy smarts were on show. He can't of played 50 games yet either!

I for one shall be taking up the slack!

Much like everyone else I would love to see the Weid succeed and string a few games together. The reality is however that last weekend was his best performance at either level for a number of games both this year and last and in my book he needs to earn that spot. I thought the forward line looked crowded with Tommy and Weid they just don't seem to understand the concept of creating space for each other or Fritta for that matter.

What's "community" about the Docklands stadium? Surely this can be played at princess park or Casey.

Rodney Grinter, so we get to expose a bit more of our depth whilst he's out serving his penance

"The Freak"

I think importantly, without knowing the ins and outs of the trades is that we appear to be a club that is easy to deal with and that our trades and pick swaps appear to be beneficial to both parties. Perhaps this is something that allows us to continue this method? I wouldn't have thought the same thing could be said about Fremantle or to a lesser extent Collingwood?
