The Jackson FIX

PTSD kicked into gear tonight seeing Geelong rob the opposition of the win at the cattery late in the game. I still have tuohy nightmares

Completely reasonable to make some selection decisions on who you are playing.

Probably right re. multiple factors impacting crowd volumes... no doubt the issue is exacerbated for smaller clubs by the rabid media commentators. I’m mainly worried about fixturing now - sloppy game in Rd1 plus the perception that even our own supporters won’t come and watch us will see us end up with more than a few Sunday 4.40 timeslots Rd 6 and beyond.

In his presser Goodwin made a comment which suggested that AVB Hibbo & Melksham not in the mix this week

I don’t disagree with you. ‘Jones out’ prediction was largely based on them looking to up pressure on the ball carrier this week (Jones didn’t lay a tackle last week). Plus I am guessing they’ll use Jones more sparingly this yr than they have in prior years.

Trying my best to read between the lines in Goody’s presser I see Viney and Chandler in. Harmes out and my best guess is Chunk out with him.

Would’ve really liked to have played ‘aints when Brown/Weid were back. You can stretch them down back.

https://www.sen.com.au/programs/whateley/ ‘The Monday Means test with David King 22.03’ - at the 14 minute mark Gary Pert says; “ we would expect a crowd of 45 to 50 thousand people”.

That’s where I heard it.

I don’t make stuff up. Pre-game he’d revised his expectations because he knew the ticket sales. The week prior he is on record as saying he forecasted 45-50k.

Pert sounded similarly confident about getting 50k to the G on Saturday. Kingy and Whately just questioned whether Pert has his finger close enough to the pulse. I’d be lying if I said I completely disagreed with them...

Dominant defence helped with that. Same thing that probably saved a 100 point loss to Footscray in the pre-season game

VERY small sample but midfield dynamics seem to have gone backwards under Yze. Hope there is a method to his madness

Gawn was average. I thought sides had learnt how to negate his rucking but for large parts today they didn’t need to, he just found them on his own. Urgent stoppage practice at Casey this week pls

Many I am sure couldn’t make it for a legitimate reason. If you are not one of them then shame on you.

Of more concern right now is the joint is empty 20 minutes from the bounce. Cannot for the life of me understand why we don’t have 40k+ here. Embarrassing

We do, but they are obviously thin. They managed to film a video piece featuring Checker drinking a sponsor’s product.... clearly a matter of prioritisation. maybe it is the way of the future though - the players have all made a fuss of Clarry on social so perhaps that’s a low rent way to celebrate the occasion nowadays.

Or Mitch Brown

I would love to see these pre-match supporter comments from the opposition re-visited at the end of the year, with awards for comedy, delusion and grammar. Colingwoad sure to be very short in the latter market.

James Jordon confirmed to debut. Good on him. Tear ‘em up son.

Hmm just double check that. I’ve got an mcc ticket (free reserved seat as a member) and have a barcode. My assumption is you’ll need to scan both mcc membership card and reserved seat barcode for entry for Covid rules.

I didn’t receive an sms at first but contacted Ticketek via Twitter and they reissued the tickets and I got the sms then (they were quite quick actually). I didn’t see the barcode to scan on the confirmation email so I would be wary of assuming you can access the ground via the ‘confirmation’ email.

Lol probably me. I’ve drunkenly thrown my scarf in a bin Rd 1 before so I’ll need something to convince there is some light in some tunnel somewhere so I don’t chuck another scarf.

Apparently the suspension happened because MFC submitted a request for the incident to be reviewed, not because he was reported mid or post game. Wow. edit. The article says the ‘demons’ submitted a review (not MFC) and I forgot Perth were called the demons

That young tall Treacy has been suspended from a wafl game. They are missing a lot of talls
