I've been in noisier libraries.

Was asked why M Brown got the spot over Weid: "he's playing better footy". Weid has to play "a big man's role". Was actually kinda brutal about this, I thought Suburban cricketer masquerading as an AFL footballer.

Geez, North aside we must have the least intimidating home ground support of all the Melbourne based sides.

I think I’m just going to let Binman work out what happened tonight when I listen to the podcast on my Monday night run.

I reckon there’s 15k here tops.

I was at that game at Windy Hill too Forky. Unfortunately it was down the other end of the ground that it all kicked off. Jacko was about the only entertainment we had as Dees fans back then.

There's nothing wrong with a nemesis in sport but taking it too far can eat you up and poison other parts of your life if you're not careful. I'd rather eat my own vomit than watch or read anything about Celtic but I'd never abuse someone who has the misfortune of supporting them. That's what their priests are for.

Hi D4L. There's a very small group that stand in the concourse under the Olympic Stand at the Punt Road end that fit your description to a tee. I know a couple of them and they were responsible for the fight that broke out on the terraces down at Geelong the other year. Thankfully people like them make up a very small minority of our supporter base.

Is his nickname based on Bill Lawrie or Bill Bailey, or both?

If the Gold Coast Suns had a 10 year licence to prove themselves they'd be gone by now.

Very happy with this. Not concerned about Salo as he completed the entire pre-season and by all accounts most of our training sessions are as hard as the real thing anyway. Roll on Saturday night.

The Casey game will probably start at 4.35pm then. This gives our supporter base the double excuse of this game starting too late and the seniors finishing too late to turn up and watch either of them.

Just got home and turned on Kayo. Looks like there's a vermin infestation at the MCG today.

There's enough empty seats in the N53 section on level 2 of the Olympic Stand right now that a few of us that have dispersed reserved seats can sit together which is great. Queues for beers and the loos are short and getting in and out of the ground takes 5 minutes. It's not all bad having a flakey supporter base.

Just on my first coffee of the morning and was about to post what I thought about yesterday but you've done that for me Titan. We also had three posters in that last quarter as well as Nibbler pooping the bed when he should have just kicked for goal. I forget who it was but we also should have centred the ball to an unmarked Weeds in front of goal instead of kicking to a marked Browny in the pocket. I'm confident we'll reverse that result when we play them in Perth in a few weeks. We really do need to stop acting like millionaires when kicking for goal though.

Someone at Jolimont station said that Trac was throwing up in the last quarter and it looked like Vines had a shoulder problem.

The better we get the more sparse the crowd is. Weird.

Love it. Suck on that Richmond. Was that a 50m if he kicked it into row Z after the siren?

I think we've gone a bit early on opening our Grand Final day thread. Oops, sorry... just noticed it's the 2022 one. My bad. Please continue.

Not as confident now that T-Mac will miss. Freo are no mugs and we will have to be at our best.

Essendon are the only other team that meet the first criteria but even they are not daft enough to think they're in a premiership window. Despite what Mick Malthouse might think.

Saints are like flies on [censored] when it comes to other clubs' flotsam & jetsam. They're also deluded enough to think they could snag a flag in the next two years whilst we're on the scene. My money is on them.

An AFL team in the NT would be like the NFL giving a franchise to North Dakota. It probably makes more sense to keep the GCS playing a couple of home games in Darwin plus one in Cairns. They could merge with North Melbourne to form the North Queensland Roos, or NQR's for short. NQR supermarkets could sponsor them.

The Chinese Whispers?

Build the new stadium and training facility at the port and let China pay for it as part of their 99 year lease.
