Hard to get too excited about this but I'll death ride the Swans. If they do underperform badly then a pick around 25 could be ours. JT will find any nuggets to be had with that pick, I'm sure.

Montagna is good. At least he does his homework. Dermie is the worst. Just makes it up as he goes along.

great hitout. loved Windsors game. took his goals really well. Bring on the Swans.

Lever has mopped up plenty tonight

great tackle nibbler

Cripps pinged for the throw! first time for everything

how good does Windsor look. another well taken goal

i'm liking the look of billings. could prove to be an astute pick up for us.

i hope Fritschy and JVR don't kick like this during the season

beautifully slotted windsor. reckon JT has done it again.

Tracs disposal pretty iffy so far

great tackle and I50 from Billings

pity about the goal kick

strong mark JVR he's looking sharp

ANB pretty rusty

Maxy looking good. viney putting himself about. salem sharp early

what a blatant throw Cripps

a lot of bandaging on Maxys knee. what's that about.

if we lose, I'm microwaving my membership and writing off the season.

10-12 games is all we can reasonably expect from him. I reckon the best strategy is to nurse him through the season and try to have him available for the big games.

Oliver at 43 is plain insanity. Having Zak Butters at 2 was ridiculous. Very good player but no way number 2. Hard to argue with the Readers top 10. I agree with Larkey at 7. Excellent player

I didn’t realise you had left either. You haven’t missed much around here lately tbh. It’s been quite feral actually. Sorry to see you go and all the best for the future.

The vomit emoji is because you're a tiresome bore. Can you give us all a break and leave one thread free of your wrist slitting.

Agree 100%. Way too much woe is me self-pity around here lately. Tough day today I know, buts it's time to man up and get stuck into the season. I'm sure the playing group will use the setbacks over preseason as motivation. They'll give their all, I'm sure. Go Dees.

Genuinely shocked. His health is the most important thing. I'm sure being married to a Frawley helped him with this decision. Best of luck in retirement Gus. Next time we play the pies i want to see Maynard get the treatment from our boys. special dispensation. What a scumbag that guy is.
