I would prefer we wear our normal jumper more often. I don't reckon we need an ANZAC jumper. Some insignia over the heart is a nice way to commemorate the ANZACs. The Indigenous jumpers showcase Indigenous art which is cool, but we don't need to wear it 4 times a year. The situation is compounded this year because the design is poor and looks like Footscray. Last year's was really good.

Last year our record against other contenders was impeccable - 8 out of 9 against dogs, cats, port, Brissy. We're not going to achieve that this year having already lost to Geelong and freo. In addition, last year our biggest loss was about 20 points. This year Freo and the cats have pumped us. On the other hand we were the best side last year by the length of the members wing winning the prelim and gf by a combined 26 goals. So we've got a bit of wiggle room. However, none of that really matters. All that really matters is how well we play in September. I don't really buy this "we've been worked out stuff". You might know what we're going to do, but that doesn't mean you can stop it. Still time to recapture our form. Going back to back aint easy but we can do it.

I love these posts based on careful consideration of the available evidence rather than whatever wild emotion might be currently possessing the poster 😂

I reckon the 5 day break contributed to our flatness. Geelong had one too but their match on against the kangas was pretty easy I reckon.

I was a couple of bays around from the DA on Thursday night. The big silk flags looked magnificent under the lights.

Actually cancel that - this quote could be interpreted either way: “I bet you’d like to know. I’m conscious of not giving everyone the headline. But I love the club, I love my teammates. That’s something that will take care of itself.”

Didn't gus basically admit he was going to re-sign a couple of weeks ago?

At the end of the day Jacko played a crucial role in the greatest 15 mins in the club's history. He should always be appreciated and respected by our fans for being part of the team that brought the cup home. I don't really understand a 21yo wanting to go home to mum and dad but whatever, it's his life. Get the trade right and move on.

Thanks mate

I'm driving down tonight - normally get the train. What's the best bet re parking?

Can't wait to swagger into Kardinia Park as the premiers.

The prelim gets forgotten a bit because of the glory of the granny but it was our best win in 57 years for a week.

I wonder how many clubs would be in the same boat if they'd done up their old stadiums instead of moving to the G.

You are underselling hydras here 😂

I was there!

Can safely say I've never gone in the match day thread. Too busy watching the game. And drinking obviously.

We've beaten them the last 3 times we've played them including a prelim shellacking. And don't forget we fixed em up in the 2018 elimination final too. These bastards loved sinking the boot in when we were rubbish. Let's them make our bunnies for a decade.

It's amazing we've been there so much compared to other sides. I actually really enjoy going down there so I'm glad it happens, but completely unfair from a footy perspective. I can't believe they ask to have a home final at Kardinia when they play some home games at the G. Cant have it both ways cats. Actually there were 18 rounds for 12 teams for decades. They only moved to playing each team twice in the 70s I reckon. But I agree it's very micky mouse. Poms can't believe it when you tell them.

Same crowd at dogs v hawks last night as Melb vs syd. A lot less than Melb vs bris. Pathetic. Looking forward to Caro's bake.

Why do they insist on playing horrendous backing muzack?

Was it restricted view? I could only restricted view ones for 50 bucks.

We massively outnumbered them and made heaps more noise than them, just like against Sydney and freo. People really have been talking unmitigated rot about the crowds this year.

Nah.

Do you reckon we can win the flag?

That was a great win! Fev was playing for brissy. Felt like we were getting somewhere lol Great crowd tonight- 20k for the Richmond v port game. Pathetic.
