Love BB. Completed the last missing link in our team ahead of our triumphant flag year. Was one of my few favourite non-Dees players before he came across to us. It would be absolutely massive for us if what he is relaying here is true. Finger crossed.

The cigar premiership pic with "Thank you Gus" would bring a tear to my eye.

Mineral Resources Park... there are not enough face palms for how unhelpful these ridiculous sponsor-named venues are.

Taj was out with concussion.

Christ that's a quarter of our list. And easily 6 players who would be picked in our best 22 if fit too. This season has worrying 2019 vibes.

I'm devastated by this news. Gus is fantastic as a player, a clubman and a person. He is an immense loss to the game. 😪 A Melbourne Football Club immortal. Premiership player and lead-wresting 3rd-qtr clutch goal kicker. I wish him every success and good health in life from here.

I think it is closer to 2 "Bloods" flags in 90 years. 🤣

Well Matthew, I've been worried about Essendon since 2001. Oh wait, no I haven't. I don't give a [censored] about them.

The DA tent was fantastic. Swung past for a snag twice, and one of my kids was delighted to devour a "Petracca" cupcake. Thank you WCW and all of the Demon Army for your contribution to today - I hope it was lucrative - and throughout the season.

When you're baking in the sun with negligible shading around the ground, queuing for a quarter for a bucket of hot chips, and the scant elevated seating is off limits to the public, that did come across as a bit silly to me. Maybe the Mayor of Casey dropped past at the time.

Looked like ankle. In a fair bit of discomfort heading off the field from the far wing.

Oh no. Clarry hurt. Going off with trainers.

Ripping left foot snap from the boundary for a goal by CLARRY!!!

Rich 17.8.110 Mel 13.9.87

Windsor back out there. Phew.

K Brown looking promising. Love seeing Fritta lay a tackle even if it is high.

Bugger. This preseason can GAGF. Really like the prospect of Turner and hope he can get back for a strong back half of the season.

I'm assuming Jack Viney came in at 11?

And wear a belt for Christ's sake.

The only thing he did after that was curtail Trac's attempted centre clearance to stop a 4th goal in the final minute of the 3rd.

Ha, yeah. Offer a player a $7-mil 7yr deal that you only rate as being worth pick 13. Pull the other one Riccuto.

Kinda wierd to me this persistent narrative that individual players need multiple flags to be considered "greats". Flags are won by teams. Apparently from here Trac could round his career out with a couple of Brownlows and some BnFs to go with his already glittering trophy cabinet, but nope. Apparently it's a 2nd flag or bust.

He'll be out for that ridiculously branded "Round 0" where we play the Swans up in Sydney.

Hahahaha thanks, that was great to re-watch. Knowing how it all pans out through the finals it makes me chuckle that a few in the media went with the ol' "they over-celebrated" the win after that game.

Wasn't the discussion with Oliver's hammy last year that even a bad hamstring injury can be run on after a few weeks, it's the full effort running that takes longer to get back?
