Actually it looks like Matt Jones is in the photo they all took together on the ground. I think he's next to Harmesy.

It's entirely possible that Claz was out clubbing until 6am and also present at the game. I wouldn't read too much into the non-appearance of BP5. He's rehabbing a hammy and flying may not be the best idea at the moment. Max & Jess were both at his wedding last year so I'd doubt there would be any issues between the pair of them. Matt Jones is a good friend of Max and i didn't see him there. People have other commitments.

I used to go to The Tippler on Wellington Parade with a mate after a game but it only appears to be open for about 3 hours a week these days. I absolutely hate people who think it's OK to flick through mindless videos on their phone without earbuds on public transport. Except for the guy in red & blue re-watching that last quarter on his mobile phone at full volume surrounded by Blues supporters on my Sunbury line train home last night ❤️

That's weird Dannyz. I didn't write that post you commented on.

Spursy = Bluesy

I'm really enjoying watching each game in isolation at the moment without looking at them in any larger context.

Like EPL through the years with Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea and Man City.

Why do so many people support Essendon? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah. Gold Coast. And Carlton's sends me to sleep.

Did they recruit these umpires from the RVIB?

The throwback Fitzroy guernsey looks great. Would it date back to when they were known as the gorillas? I wish they still were.

I thought that the term woke was appropriated years ago by old white bitter conservatives for anything they don't happen to like. The only person I ever hear use it is my boss at work.

Relax. By the time Caulfield has been approved the players will be able to teleport themselves across the track.

Unless of course it's cold, or wet, or an inconvenient time of day, or they're running replacement buses. Effectively the same excuses we use not to turn up to our games.

Claz is still a good link up player but has lost his early acceleration out of traffic. He's probably worth the $700k or so that the Giants are paying him but not the $1.4m he's collectively raking in annually. For that money he should be a game changer but I think he'll be doing well to see out the next five years of his contract.

I don't understand why a tenant club of the MCG would be playing at Docklands when the G is empty both tonight and all day tomorrow. Ours is the only game there all weekend.

So, it's the orange army versus the agent orange army tonight I see.

Suggests Trelly won't be in the starting line up.

One of the quirks of our game JCB is that they will play games for premiership points on grounds of any old shape or size. Norwood Oval where they play at Gather Round is 5 metres thinner than Kardinia Park and is sausage shaped, like the Western Oval was back in the day. North Hobart Oval where the Tassie side played last week is 10 metres thinner than Kardinia Park and 20 metres shorter. The SCG is also a short ground. Way back in the 1980's Hawthorn played Essendon for 4 points at the old Gabba when it was pear shaped and still had a greyhound track around it. Even the ground that the Giants play on is pointy at one end.

The thing is though daisy, it's a public park. Do we really have any bargaining power? Even if we do stay who's to say we won't still get punted elsewhere for the duration of the Australian Open?

Rare to see Kardinia Park half empty. You can hear individual voices in the crowd.

I’m torn between moving for our own benefit and staying put to spite Richmond and Collingwood.

Brad Scott looked a broken man in his presser. On the verge of bursting into tears. Said his team were demoralised. What a time to be alive.

North's winning streak finally looks to be over.

BH with a free weekend. Fire up the barbie.
