Anyone know how i can see this, i am overseas and the permissions wont let me

Me too. Can someone DL it and PM it to me....?

Great game, in case that needs saying again…. One for the ages. The team has come good. Even if we don’t win the cup, the club is in good hands if it can perform like that. Bound to take one home in this era.

Not saying they shouldn’t play their guts out. But from a supporters point of view…..

We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
that’s the options?

I’d almost prefer to lose to Geelong today. Premiers come from 2nd or 3rd. Port on Adelaide doesn’t worry me..

I just want to say that as a Jewish person, I am disgusted at what has gone on in that community. A community that I have purposefully distanced myself from. But I can tell you categorically that the large majority of the Jewish community are furious. The video of the party was leaked and sent to authorities by the community. The $350,000 of collective fines and the massive contract tracing efforts have only been made possible because good law abiding members of that community were not willing to protect these idiots.

The outrage is real and I hope that the greater Victorian community can see that those people are a minority of selfish [censored] who use their religious radicalism to justify their [censored] behaviour in all walks of life. 

 

 

I see it, Jaded. I live among another group similarly though oriented to a different god. Same problem. 

Employ Lewy full time, please.

I'd be all over GWS' Tom Green. He will explode soon and his inclusion would enable us to be less reliant on Clarry and give us more midfield depth.

Inspired idea.

Great to see Benny Gibson getting the gig again on the water… He’s put in the hard yards. Good to see reward for effort….😉

I must say there were a couple of games on the run home that year  (WC, Dogs and Saints) when we we had a lead in the last Qtr or had all the momentum only to be run over.

I’m not giving your tanking claim any credence (unless you were joking)  but we certainly flushed some potential wins down the toilet in late 2019.

Yeah, but we got the picks that got the soldiers that may prove pivotal in the fight for the flag...

Build a car tunnel under Punt road from St.kilda Junction to Vic parade or even the eastern freeway, include a few on/off acceses. 

Allows for both Gosch's and tiger land to expand.

Will quieten the area and give another main artery into the city as well as connecting the eastern and south eastern freeways.

The traffic jams for vehicles transitting during sport/music events won't occur.

Nth/Sth travel in Melb is excruciating. But why not just keep it going all the way out to the ring road.......

Just illustrates how important it was for us to tank in 2019...

MFCSS now settling….

Benny Gibson on the waters

Legend.

My MFCSS is raging out of control. We’re playing like we do when we lose….

Just checking..... roundabout this time before a big game, we should be on the lookout for any mysterious illnesses among the team:

Cheers, fellas. Top listening as always... Thanks to Gary for his time. Doing a bang-up job, I reckon.

I'm not sure if you were being serious, but I would be very disappointed if it lost the name of "Gosch's Paddock". There's something noble about preserving the history of the site for the league's oldest club. On the other hand, I'd love there to be a few rows of seating along one side which could be named "The Flower Stand".   

And let's place a large ceramic urn on the wing boundary. Name it The Flower Pot.

1 goal, what, 7 in the last?

Suddenly, we bomb it and play slow and the oppo comes back…. When will the learnings kick in?

Harmes to the trade table…..

Was the stop/slow bat he was using made in Wuhan?

Yes, made in Wuhan, but the parts came in a frozen container from the US military....

30 years binman! Not a chance in hell. 

I think I have the solution. Not sure they have room for 52000 members, but surely at least Old Dee can live to see the lifting of the curse....

Well, there's a lot of good technical talk going on here as usual, so what I'm going to say may be a bit ordinary, mundane, prosaic, some adjective that isn't coming to mind....

With a lot of jobs I do, I get to about 3/4 quarters through and it really begins to drag. There's that sense that it's never going to end, even though I know it must. Tough times. I can see the finish line, but I know it's a way off yet, and there's so many problems to fix, I being to ask, was it worth beginning this dumb idea in the first place? 

But then, there's really no other choice but to grind on. I mean, what am I going to do, give up? Nah, I just have to put the shoulder to the wheel and work the problems out one by one, apply tried and true techniques and a little individual flair and look forward to the day energy returns and I can begin something more satisfying....

And then sudenly I'm at the end. The project comes into focus, I'm tweaking and detailing, and a weight is lifted from my shoulders as I realize the thing is all but finished. There's a sprint then to the finish line and I'm there, dancing just for a moment. 

Sure, the work is never perfect, but it's done. Next job, please.

In other words, I reckon this is where we're at: That dark and heavy place. It's a long season, after all.

Reckon Binman nailed it. This week, if we don't come out and run over the Suns, Demonlanders could be forgiven for beginning to think the strategy might not have been optimal. Suns, WC, Crows.... a non-performance of our high energy style against which of these will prove critical?
