Since fox got the rights to provide its own commentary for every game, Gerard Healy is my new BT. My heart sinks at the beginning of every Dees match he calls, and he seems to (request?) a lot of them? There was a farcical moment a few weeks back where he “expertly” pointed to a passage of play that typified the brilliance of the modern game, then proceeded to call the replay which in reality turned out to be a chain of clangers and dumb luck and as ugly as hell. FWIW I thought his call on Langford’s kicking was pretty accurate, but boy when he stumbles across a point he deems worth making he doesn’t half bang on about it for the next two hours… Well beyond pasture.

Don’t be silly it was just a dream, I don’t actually know how to pass on that sort of information.

I had a dream about Clarry last night, no real details, we were just hanging, but it was all good, he was doin’ fine. Just so no one’s worried.

It’s alright it’s alright everybody, we’re gonna stay calm AND get urgent.

Anyone have any update on where training might be today?

Thanks. Will miss those but fingers crossed we can sneak something in once the schedule is announced.

Does anyone have an idea if there'll be any open sessions early in the new year? Here with the kids for a month and thought I'd try and prove to them big Maxy is a real person and not just someone we see on the TV at 5am in Germany sometimes...

Wow Matt Hill’s commentary such a breath of fresh air. Puts in perspective how low the art of commentary has fallen since we lost Dennis, Sandy Roberts etc. It’s like listening to a grown-up again, rather than to a bunch of teenagers giggling at their own jokes.

I’m advocating dark clothes.

Please change thread title to "Farewell Brodie Grundy, we barely knew ye."

In the heartland no less! How DARE they… 😤

Well the only bit of that game I saw was a replay of some pie getting a shoulder to the head. It’s not much, but I’ll take it, as my only memory of the end to a very depressing September. I will now use my remaining mental strength trying not to imagine the two worst offenders receiving their medals. Damn, I just imagined it. Out! Out damn Cox! Go Dees.

CARN THE ROYS! 💙💛❤️

Me too. It's absolutely nuts that Bont hasn't won one. Goes to show what it ain't worth.

THE UMPS PULLED VOTES FROM TRAC SO DAICOS CAN WIN. It's all part of the conspiracy. 🙄 Watch out for the 5G.

Absolute no brainer.

That's a pretty long wait for a team that just made a prelim. Unless you're planning on a few in-between, which is unwise cos I think we all know the Dees have got the next three sewn up.... 🥴 But bad luck No. 31, you guys gave it a good shake for your first finals series in a decade. Lots to look forward to.

You can sign it over to another member. I did that in ‘18.

This is the season that just keeps delivering. TV off, can’t bear the thought of getting that earworm.

It’s weird the similarity in feeling between wanting a result out of hatred and wanting one out of love.

How is that “really well tackled by Nick Daicos” ??? He strangled him!

Bedford kicking like he’s still at Melbourne.

Cox and Maynard combining for that GWS goal. So sweet.

Oof listening to the clusterwank from the commentary team about the pies and particularly Daicos brothers is just nauseating. And then every time they make a mistake hearing the commentators all start to have a cry is VERY satisfying. Excuses excuses… Gee Collingwood just don’t deserve the absurdly frothing plaudits they’ve received from the media this year. What an absolute circle-jerk the boys club is. Dummies wouldn’t know original idea if it launched at em front on and knocked em unconscious.
