Cranbourne 'aint no Garden of Eden TC. They do have a Royal Botanical Garden but it's pretty rubbish.

Shouldn't there be a snake in there somewhere daisy?

Really sad to see him move to the dark side. Still, when you live in Moonee Ponds Tullamarine is a helluva lot closer than Cranbourne.

We need someone to hang Dogga's old jumper over the race when Freo run out at the G in round 6.

He's as dumb as a brick but I'd love him to take over from Maxy when he hangs up the boots.

Looked like a blowout on the cards at half time but all things considered it was a good workout. Clarry's 3rd off his left peg was the highlight for mine. Jibba has no conviction when kicking for goal. A round 1 debut for on the cards AJ?

The jumper we're wearing today does look OK.

I'm not a fan of tattoos but that sounds horrendous. Wasn't the emblem Jimmy's own creation? Given enough room I'm convinced he would have squeezed in a boomerang, an irish flag and a meat pie as well.

I like the current emblem. The worst was the dog's breakfast of one we had during Jimmy's time as president.

"Fremantle or West Coast or any other club can come up with three first round draft picks or he’s not going anywhere. I can tell you that – he’s not going anywhere unless we as a club get a deal we want.” Can we please post this on the club socials to see if Kozzie likes it?

No Prestia. Did he get another soft tissue injury walking from his car to the ground?

That wouldn't surprise me GD's. The Portsea of it's day.

By the header I just assumed in the interests of transparency the AFL had changed their name to AFL Betting.

That's interesting OD. Your story reminded me of when I was a kid back home and one summer we had the Gordon Highlander regiment (which doesn't exist any more) practicing manoeuvres in our town before being deployed in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles. I remember one of them hiding behind a hedge in our front garden in full gear with a rifle. Nowadays army manoeuvres in Dandenong would be good practice for deployment in Afghanistan.

I wonder if the ground he was being filmed at was Shepley Oval, home of the old Dandenong Redlegs. Interesting how places like Dandenong and Rowville are considered to be Vic Country for representative footy. Maybe the boundary is based on the first edition of the Melways.

We're three defenders down already then. Not good.

My only surprise is that they didn't include the odds with an accompanying link to sportsbet.

Got a nice shady spot under a tree in the outer. It’s a gorgeous morning to watch the footy but a hot one if you’re playing.

I'm looking forward to seeing how our forwards AJ and Jeffo go but am a little concerned that without some of our best midfielders involved how often the ball will get down there. Some opposition sides virtually walked the ball out of the centre in the back end of last season.

If the AFL have a plan to build 260 ovals around the country why would they spend $20m buying an oval that's already there as part of those plans?

Not a patch on the Pissweak Kids and Charlie the Wonder Dog, Bob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAax9nJPEb8

Since the media made it a thing. I can't believe the one surviving grandstand there is actually a listed building.

At an away QB game we got seats up in the nosebleeds near Daisy Pearce, her husband and twins and they left at half time because of the abuse. They are the scum de la scum of the AFL.

This is one topic that absolutely should be raised at an AGM. It sounds like we’re all royally f’d off with the great unwashed infiltrating our members areas.

I've stopped going to the away games against them as they're unbearable pond scum. Don't count on them not getting into our own members areas though. There are plenty of them that go to club functions or have access to sponsored boxes that end up taking empty seats in our areas. MCG staff that are there to police this do nothing and our own supporters are generally too polite to say or do anything. Could you imagine an oppo supporter trying to sit in the Sherrin Stand at Victoria Park back in the day? They'd be lynched.
