Couldn't ask for much better than that. Dogs showing us no respect and paying the price.

Maxy kicking the set-shot goal from 20 meters straight in front. This could be our night.

Could do with Langdon getting into the game. any dogs attacks are coming from his wing.

Libba just sharked that Gawn tap. Why do oppo midfielders read him better than ours?

brilliant goal JJ. I'm worried about the Weid.

Good lad Bayley. Looks like Fritsch is on tonight.

May out of form. Should have impacted that contest.

Doggies turning it over badly under no pressure. Good signs early

Brilliant goal Trac.

Kozzie looks lively. Reckon he'll have a big influence tonight.

Need more composure than that Petty. Settle son.

Fair and balanced comments. The common theme about these threads every week is the esteem that rival supporters have for Maxy. He gets more mentions and respect than any other Dees player.

Evening starting to drag. Still 4 hours to go.

We're 9-1. Only defeat was by 1 point. The Doggies wilted under the pressure against the Tiges. If we can turn up the temperature gauge the Doggies will struggle. We won't allow them to saunter around Marvel to do as they please tonight. They're a very good side but by no means unbeatable.

The Giants form has been solid. They're half a chance against the Lions. The magpies pathetic season to lurch from bad to worst. Reckon the cats will belt them.

That's one of the best articles i've read about the Dees in a long time. It totally resonates with what we've seen on the field. I'm feeling much more confident about tonight's game after reading this. No way we don't turn up. The Dogs will have to play very well to beat us.

Dan Murphy's do home deliveries OD. Not sure what their whiskey selection is like though.

We need the same levels of pressure we brought to the Richmond game, across the board but from Spargo, ANB and Kozzie in particular. We need our leaders to stand up. Oliver needs help. Trac, Max and TMac to have big games. Salem’s return will bring poise and composure. May won;t play as badly again. The lesser lights to play their role. Hunt, Harmes, Hibbo Jordon Fritsch Melks can’t afford poor games. I can't see us winning this game with passengers. Now would be the perfect time for the Weid to stand and deliver. Come on son. The no crowd freo v eagles game a few rounds ago was a strange affair. The lack of atmosphere turned the game into a training session style shoot-out. That would not suit us. It’s been a weird week. Disrupted preparation bound to have an impact. Hard one to pick this. If we can focus, impose our pressure game on the Dogs we’ll win.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing

I've been a big supporter of the Weid but its time to deliver. Another underwhelming performance and it's back to Casey.

99.99% of UFO sightings are either BS or explainable by terrestrial phenomena The eyewitness accounts of David Fravor (a very sober and credible navy commanader) and his crew who saw that object, the radar tracking, the fact their radar was jammed when they got close (which is an act of war byw) and the speeds and maneuverability of the object are very hard to explain. a real head scratcher. Probably a conversation for a different thread

no crowds - advantage us

ManDee should be allowed to make an informed decision about which vaccine he wants to take. It’s his body and his right. We’re a liberal democracy not the Soviet Union. However, if he decides not to take an available vaccine and chooses to wait for a vaccine of his preference then he should be re-categorised with the rest of the general population. That’s only fair imv. We can’t delay the broader roll-out.

I’ll be honest I haven’t been paying close attention to the roll-out but this eminent lock down will focus my mind. I’ll be researching and taking a much closer look at it. Agree the AFL will need to consider very carefully before advocating for player vaccination. Risk categories and health workers absolutely get priority. 100% agree with you there. But scenarios where vaccines are there but people aren’t turning up to take them has to be questioned. We can’t let hold-outs or stragglers, no matter their risk status, delay a broader roll-out. If there are people in the community who are prepared to get vaccinated in full knowledge of the risks then they should be allowed to do so, on the proviso they are not taking a vaccine which a person in a risk category is ready and willing to take.

I think it's time to consider vaccinating the teams, coaches and support staff. This will allow them to move freely across state lines (or i think it should anyways) and negate any talk of Hubs. If there's no shortage of vaccine and risk categories are dragging the chain in terms of take up I don;t see any moral reason why this can;t be done. Obviously health workers and risk groups get priority but there's no point having vaccine sitting there with nobody turning up to get vaccinated.
