GC inspired by the new coach.

It really is hard to believe they haven’t come up with something different, both horrible jumpers.

Very average

Do we not have a shorts sponsor?

Not so much sunscreen to apply.

Your crazy.

Right now I have very little confidence in the season coming up. I am hoping it’s more to do with the uncertainty over my favourite player of all time but there just seems to be so many little things not going right. I also don’t think our list management has done a great job at improving our weaknesses in the last two years. I know it was very much a scratch match on the weekend but for me there was very little to get excited about. I hope our next practice match we show something different. I think we have improvement in us but I also think some other clubs have a large amount of improvement in them. Without seeing everyone play scratch and practice matches if I have to give an answer right now, I think we miss finals this year. I think where in for a tough year. Demonland on the other hand I think is in for a record breaking year.

Just watching some of it on Fox now, so far the only thing I have noticed is how bad the commentators are.

That’s not ideal.

Oliver easily no1 for me.

I think Fox has done a very good job with some of the commentators they have added. Agree Isa Guha, Harsha Bhogle and Michael Vaughan are amongst the best in the world. I am not so big about Gilchrist and Mel Jones but I also like Ian Smith and thought Wasim Akram was also pretty good.

Bloody hell Roost it far has your account been hacked? Last year from memory the only game you were worried about was Hawthorn. But I am actually feeling very similar to you about this year. My biggest concern is the psychology of our players but there are plenty of other issues to worry about too.

In an otherwise [censored] morning driving to the Alfred, it was bloody awesome seeing Oliver out there.

I would have any of those players you mention on the wing before Hunter. Agree with you our wing positions are a weakness. I hope Hunter doesn’t play many games and I won’t be surprised if Langdon gets dropped at some point this season. I think we have other players who can be upgrades.

If it keeps raining the grapes are going to be rotten.

Has the Big Bash improved at all?

He’s an unbelievable bowler, love watching him play.

It will be very interesting who out of Collingwood and Richmond end up getting Gosch’s in the year 2050 when we finally move out.

Australian cricket pitches 🥱.

I won’t be shocked. The competition is ridiculously even, last years premiership team didn’t make finals this year. Sure their list demographic was different but it won’t take much to go wrong for us or most teams that made finals this year to miss.

Warner has been outstanding in the field.

Our bowlers so far making the most of a pitch with some help, hopefully continues.

Mathew Hayden and Shane Watson are very average commentators.

Yes unlikely they will push back when they get an extra game the MCG. But I think they might and should if Carlton play GC again at the MCG.

Just read the Age article suggesting St Kilda are trying to get a home match at the MCG against Collingwood in round 2. I for one am totally over non MCG tenant clubs getting home matches at the MCG, I really hope Melbourne, Richmond and Collingwood push back hard at the AFL on this.
