Chook

I don't. Smith is very low on my list.

Neither Kossy or Trac competed for the ball in the air, clearly saying to themselves "No way I'm risking getting injured in a practice match." We get the goal anyway. As much as I'd love to win every game till the end of time, we're clearly taking this game very lightly. I hope there's no bad habits creeping in though.

The amount of jogging we're doing in this game defensively tells me everything I need to know. Also, Brayshaw in the backline means no Brayshaw on the wing, which means we're so much worse defensively. Brayshaw's defensive efforts are so key to what this team does.

We're disinterested about this game yet we're salty at the umps? Can't be both surely.

The 2nd string backline is not passing the audition at this stage I'm afraid…

Fritsch again goes to ground laying an ineffective tackle. What is up with him? Dees need to take the finger out - serious attitude issues. Credit to Carlton though - they'll make finals based on this.

Being absolutely reamed by the umps I'd say.

Dees are playing like 2019.

We're starting to look very disorganised...

He got those goals by keeping his feet. He's not doing that tonight...

Fritsch doesn't look right... 5 contests he's been in. 5 times he's gone to ground.

Trac's finishing is the one thing missing from his game...

Fritsch has uncharactaristically lost his feet twice for someone who was catlike in the GF…lack of fitness?

It's early in the season, and it's just been North and Carlton, but we look 10 levels above.

Booked my ticket last night, but at the last minute decided not to go. I want to watch this team for the first time live in Round 1 with my family, and feel it will cheapen the experience just that little bit if I go tonight. Not judging anyone who does choose to go tonight - we need representation there of course. I'm a bit of a weird one though - I specifically chose NOT to touch the cup when I had a chance, even if it was right in front of me -- just because for me it didn't feel right.

Think of all those Smiths and Joneses and other common names out there saying "See! I was a member last year. How else would my name be on the flag? No I won't take my thumb off the bit of my membership card that says how many consecutive years I've been a member! How rude to even ask!"

I have had a case of MFCSS in the past, or as they call it in my houseold, the O-no-fret-chooks!

Some people have no choice (you've got to if Melbourne's your surname)…but I never new Molly and McChins were closeted Dees fans...

Can you tell I'm having a lot of fun with this? No Geelong, but there is a Scott and a Senior, not too far apart!

Good to have you aboard Sir

Nice to see Ed signed up. Which other Melbourne players forked out for a membership I wonder...

The Mumbling Fat Chainsmoking one!!!

Let me say one word we're all familiar with. Connection Let me add another. Cohesion

A lot of people seem to think Robbo tries to hard. I just love his earnestness and feel compelled to go along for the ride. I'll definitely give the show a chance. I also think Kath Loughnan is a really good presenter. Equal parts pro and larrikan, she hopefully balances the lads out.

Hook it to my veins.
