Carlton are by far the jammiest team in this league. They have GWS in the last round who are made of sterner stuff than the Suns but they’ll just be playing for pride so you never know. It take a huge effort to win in Freo but I think we’ll beat the Lions at Casey in the final round. Our home record is strong.

Pert reckons about 27k. A disappointing turnout in my view given the year we've just had. Where are all the Dees supporters?

Make sure to set 2 alarm clocks in case the first one doesn't go off!

Similar Ben. It’s been way too long. A few beers pre-game, saunter down to the G in time for ball-up and hopefully a Dees win. Life is good.

Safe travels 58. You trip will be worth because I believe we'll win. It may not be pretty with our depleted forward line but we'll have enough to see off Freo.

First game at the G since Queens birthday 2019. I was so demoralised with our season I didn’t go to another game after that. Looking forward to spending a Saturday afternoon in the G, sun shining, enjoying a few beers and hopefully a Dees win. It’s been too long.

I was expecting Treloar to butcher that I50 kick but he hit Naughton's chest good start this by the doggies.

True but it means we will be rotating Harmes, Jones Brayshaw through there again and none of them are a good option Wing has been an unresolved issue for quite a while now.

Harmes on the wing is a strange one. Baker didn't nail down the spot down so let's see how he goes Otherwise its the best available to us Congrats Clayton Oliver on 100 games. Great effort.

Just change the "c" to "k" in honor of Oskar Baker. Another who'll face more than his fair share of criticism.

Less rotations is bound to have a significant impact. I’m hoping our superior fitness gives us an edge here. Of course there’ll be unintended consequences and coaches will adjust. I think it’s going to be a really interesting season in terms of how the game changes and evolves.

3.30pm west coast time which is 6.30pm here. Sounds right.

That feeling in your gut. It's MFCSS. We'll win

Knee replacement. Hopefully your back on your feet soon

Must have been your Arthritis playing up again Dieter ?

Hopefully your premonition is wrong I'll be returning to this post tomorrow Praha.

And I can’t recall too many of the experts here suggesting we should play Oscar forward. Hindsight is a wonderful thing indeed.

Folks, some perspective. He was delisted for a reason. A good lad who didn’t deserve the abuse he copped here but who nonetheless I think deserved to be delisted. He’s has 1 good game in a Carlton shirt. Let’s see how he goes next week. I’ll be happy for him if he’s successful but I won’t be second guessing our list decision if he is. I think the fresh start and new surrounds is what Oscar needed for his career. Best of luck to him.

I think the AFLW is so much better because Jason Bennett isn’t a big personality. No bombast or hysteria. Just calls it as it is. Plain and simple. I think the fact he isn’t an ex footballer helps as well. BT is too overpowering. I’m trying to follow the action but find myself shaking my head at his over-the-top nonsense. He distracts me from the game. And just remember Folks the mute button is there for a reason. Use it.

Didn’t sleep that well last night. Excitement building. Doubt if I’ll get too much productive work done today either. What time are the teams announced?

HOw bad was that from McKay.

That’s a couple of goals kicked tonight because of the new man on the mark rule. Plowman never kicks that otherwise.

McKay is over-hyped. having a poor night tonight.

Straight and true. Onya Oscar

Classic Martin goal. The don;t argue, and snap for goal.
