    Well said, rpfc. Maddi Gay’s 50th game AND her birthday this Thursday. Up against Geelong in Geelong so it won’t be a walk in the park. Geelong have only dropped one match and that was in a low-scoring affair vs North who are one of the stronger teams. It’ll be a challenge but with belief and momentum on our side I’m confident we’ll win. Anyone who can make it to Geelong should do themselves a favour and come and watch a team at the very top of their game. edit: we’ll know officially if Maddi’s good to go after this afternoon’s training session. We’re confident she’ll be right.

    Awesome! Every person who attends a W match is worth 50 people attending a men’s match. I think. Maths is not my forte, but you get my point. 😊

    Right???? Since its inception in 2017 the standard has improved with each and every season. But from last season to this current season the improvement is off the charts. It’s great that people watch our matches on TV. Attending them (if possible) would be AMAZING! The girls truly appreciate the support.

    Off-topic I know, but honestly it would be so awesome and so appreciated if more Dees fans could come onboard for the girls. Even if you’ve never paid much attention to the W comp you should consider it. Now’s the best time, too. This team is an absolute joy to watch. They’re in scintillating form and the vibe at matches is always good. There’s six H&A rounds remaining, even if you just attend only one, that’d be great. And for those who don’t have W membership, a ticket is only $10.

    Brownlow Shmownlow Also, I dropped a crystal vase today and it broke into a million pieces. Should I blame Goody for that, too? 🙄

    Even Neale doesn’t think Neale had a Brownlow quality season.

    Izak Rankine brings his mum to the Brownlow. Me: oh that’s so cute 🥹 Luke Jackson brings his mum to the Brownlow. Me: [censored] mummy’s [censored] boy! 🤬

    Hey! Let’s pick on one of the rare WAGs who isn’t botoxed to the eyeballs, who isn’t wearing makeup that was put on with a trowel and who clearly hasn’t troubled a cosmetic surgeon. Way to go 👍🏽

    Shaun Mannagh’s Norm Goss medal begs to differ. 😁 Hollands was the Suns’ best but Werribee’s Mannagh was BOG.

    Couldn’t agree more, 58er! Actually I could agree more… if I could understand it. 🙃

She was asking him to pick up pizzas for dinner since it was his birthday and he replied, “Sorry, I can’t, I’m wearing a Richmond polo.” 😁

    The coffee van copped a hiding! Nice coffee + reasonable price + me = healthy profit for coffee van. 😁 Watched the replay yesterday and was disappointed that there wasn’t a single shot of us (apart from one 2-second shot of our two largest flags) when we probably were quite the spectacle. We recently got new giant heads and they were being held up all in a row but this wasn’t shown. All good though, the girls saw us and that’s what matters most. They appreciate everything. I was holding Goldie’s head and at one point she was in the goal-square, play was up the other end, and she looked over and smiled and waved at me. Love those girls so much.

    Amongst all the incredible feelings that came with winning the premiership, I found that the most enduring was the one that is usually the most short-lived, that being disbelief. Months into 2022 I’d hear a news segment that would begin with, “Reigning Premiers Melbourne…” and I’d think sh!tt that’s right… we won the premiership! It took forever to sink in. ❤️💙

    On this subject, the music being played during the breaks was ridiculously loud. The loudest I’ve ever experienced at any ground. I thought it was just because I’m old and grumpy 😁 but I asked the opinion of the kids and teenagers who were with us and they agreed wholeheartedly. Granted, we were not far from the speakers, but even at Casey - where we’re closer to the speakers - it’s not nearly as deafening. I asked the DJ about the volume (this time it is coz I’m old and grumpy 😁) and he said it’s so people on the other side of the ground could hear clearly. I guess no one thought to put speakers on the other side. 🤷‍♀️

    Absolutely! Really family-friendly which is awesome since with so many kids there it made for a very buoyant and heartening atmosphere. Also, most fans (they were predicting 1500 would attend but 2500 turned up!) were *passionate devotees as opposed to neutrals lobbing up coz they live in the area. *in stark contrast to yesterday’s VFL GF at Ikon where apart from the Suns cheer squad pretty much every “Suns fan” I spoke with was there because they live nearby and because free Suns caps and scarves were being given out at the ground pregame. The Werribee supporters seemed to be true fans, though.

    I think in most respects they’re about the same. The surface at Casey is just as good as at Frankston but the amenities are better at Frankston. They’re both renowned for being super windy but the wind at Frankston was one-way not the swirly unpredictable wind that is ever present at Casey. Frankston is not out in the middle of nowhere like Casey which is a bonus. For mine though, there’s nothing quite like Ikon. It’s perfect and our girls love playing there which is no surprise since we’ve never lost a W match there. 💪 Incidentally, thanks to the Lions beating North today 🥳 we’re on top of the ladder (equal on points with the only other unbeaten side, that being Adelaide) and with a healthy percentage. ❤️💙

    And that’s where the similarity ends. 😁 Frankston Oval is a great ground; a relaxed and happy vibe, a big screen, food and drinks reasonably priced, close to the train station and friendly welcoming ground staff… everything that the sh!tt-hole in Geelong isn’t. The surface seemed fine. Definitely wasn’t slippery and the players didn’t seem to have any issues with it.

    What are tips, bits and MAE?

    You’re right, we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. But it’s more likely than not. 😁 There’s another Grand Final being played this afternoon. The VFL decider at Ikon. And I’ll be there as a diehard Gold Coast Suns supporter, for today anyways. I’ve got my Suns cap and scarf and now I just need to learn the song. 🤭
  21. WalkingCivilWar
    Well maybe we just happened to line up at a really bad time coz we were there so long our clothes went out of fashion. 😁 The venue did leave a lot to be desired.
  22. WalkingCivilWar
    Hashtag gene pool… shallow end.
  23. WalkingCivilWar
    I’m referring to the real drinks. I don’t drink whatever it is we queued up for (out on the deck, looong queues) but I was with Mrs Frittata keeping her company in the queue and we were queuing up behind many other people.

    ”There is an acknowledgment from senior Melbourne players…” What a vague statement. Which players? Names please. To whom was this acknowledged? What exactly did these senior Melbourne players say? Direct quotes please. 🙄
  25. WalkingCivilWar
    Yes, it is. But only to dimwits who run in platforms while a little drunk. You’d never catch me doing something so dumb.
