I think Oliver's hand is not fully healed yet. You can see he is not as clean on ground ball gets.

Pulling out of marking contests, not sticking tackles, thought I caught a glimpse of him on the bench with trainers/doctors inspecting his hand

Oliver's hand is still not right

We've had two good wins against middle-of-the-table sides now. Enjoyable to watch and the winning feels good! We still have a lot to do to prove we are a serious contender, but we can only do that when the opportunity arises.

It was great seeing how aggressively we manned the mark all day when it was outside our F50. I don't know if this was a tactic employed to combat Hawthorn's chipping game or if it was a general mindset but I would love to see more of that.

Also great to see our defence hold firm and not fall to pieces as our two generals succumbed to injuries. The last two years we crumbled when either one came off.

A defining feature of our '21 season was how well we matched up and defeated all 7 finalists (50/50 against the dogs) during the season. We failed against the Swans in round 0, and will be tested against the Lions in a couple of weeks. The Lions' form is dodgy at the moment and I am sure come September they will be a battle-hardened much improved outfit, but I really hope we can carry our current synergy through to that game in a few weeks' time.

It's great to see how well our forwards are working in the past two games. Fingers crossed we don't run into horrible luck with injuries like we did last year. It takes more than just talent and tactics to win a flag. Luck comes into it too.

The joy with which Trac and Oliver are playing with at the moment is great to see too. When those two are in sync we are capable of anything.

Go Dees!

Hopefully Gus will get a well earned lap of honour next week before the game

Come back tomorrow 

It's only Tuesday! Woops

I can't seem to find it on foxtel

I just saw the result of the Lions game!! That makes tonight's game massive. A chance to go top of the ladder in a comp where the top team gets home advantage for the grand final is HUGE

Arrived at the ground for my first game of the season! PUMPED! Let's go Demons!!

The last 10 years has seen the number 1 ranked side get the Friday night prelim. Thus I expect Collingwood will get the Friday night prelim.

The last ten years saw the number 1 ranked side get the Friday night Qualifying final too

Is the game on free-to-air?

I'll be erecting a flag a week in my driveway starting this coming weekend until. They stay up until we get eliminated or the next season starts 🤞🏻

Got my five tickets! M30, row J. See you on Thursday week!

Yeah you'll be able get tickets for all five tomorrow, probably up in Q.

Thanks Ben.

Now my dilemma is do I get 3 good seats and then go through the process again to get 2 cheaper seats or just get all 5 together to avoid extra time and stress

Along with our 3 reserved seat memberships with GF guarantees we also have 2 junior GA memberships. Can I use all 5 together at 10am tomorrow? Or do I need to wait for a later time to use the 2 Junior memberships?

*I know I can't access category 1 or 2 with the junior memberships

I don’t think so. They’ll have separate times to avoid the site crashing. We get the same allocation of seats so don’t worry. 

That assumes they use common sense. I don't recall the AFL or the ticketing companies showing any of that in the past. I'm almost certain they release the members tickets for all four games at the same time for absolutely no reason hut to stress us all out

I hate attending Thursday night games. I'm always wrecked the next day at work

For Collingwood members they will.

I am guessing Dees members will be on Wednesday.

I thought both club members tickets go on sale at the same time?

You guys think playing Thursday night is bad? 
Wait until Ticketek crashes on Tuesday morning.

Do tickets go on sale this Tuesday?

It would be nice to have the Mackay twins, one at either end of the ground

Am I missing something here ?

She clearly lost ( though remarkably one judge scored a draw ) and she was totally outclassed.

I realised my mistake! The original post saying she won was from her last fight a few months ago. Must read the dates on the comments!

Conflicting reports! She won but she was out-classed?

Until the AFLW is a full time job I fully support the players in all their endeavours. Go Harris! Keep fighting the good fight

How come when I go to the club's match day information link it gives me GA bays in the Shane Warne, Ponsford and Olympic stands?

And, more importantly, does anyone know where GA is at docklands?

Bring in Woewodin!

We're going to run over the top of them in the second half.

We have the second best ruckman in the league to cover for us until Max gets back on the park.

We got this

Goody always says everyone is good to go at the start of the week. I would be very surprised if all 4 come back in
