POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
I have come to the conclusion that some people just see things differently. I would not at all be surprised if there were people out there that would find fault or perhaps an opportunity for improvement with say a couple having sex who manage to pull it off (excuse the pun) and come at the exact same time. Ladies first?

PREGAME: Rd 15 vs Geelong
If both Tomlinson and Smith stay in the side that is to play against Geelong and put In extremely good games again, it will give the selectors plenty to think about how to fit Petty back in the following week (if he is fit). I wouldn’t even consider putting forward a suggested scenario of who comes in / goes out. I presume (hope) that the selectors take the opportunity to look at the long game and rest / rotate players in order to make sure we have the fittest list available at year end to choose from. Even if unfortunately we lose a ‘star’ to an injury come finals we should then be able to cover them with a player that is blooded and understands our processes and can play their role in our system. I like our selectors having big headaches. It gives them opportunity to maximise the strength and depth of the squad. I feel bad for the players who miss out.

PREGAME: Rd 15 vs Geelong
To be honest I have no idea who will be the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ for the Geelong game. What I do know is that the football department has a tough job coming up and I as always will trust their judgment. For the first time since we beat Geelong and then Richmond (or the other way around) in 2021, I can put my hand on my heart and say that we are once again ‘serious’ contenders. (In 2022 even after winning the first 10 games the best I could think is that we were contenders) GO DEES!!

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Good question! Bit hard for me to be definitive because I have a earpiece in one ear so that I can listen to the game. At a guess it sounded like a 50 / 50 crowd but they may have had more attend. My take on this is the way they played didn’t give their supporters the opportunity to get on board. The exact opposite for us. We seemed to get louder as the game progressed. It was good to experience this. Contrast this to our 2nd game against them last year where they pipped us at the post. They were incredibly loud and in my opinion, their crowd support got them over the line. I keep saying (as Goody inferred in his press conference) it is just so important that we the supporters get on board with our boys. They both need us and appreciate us when we are there for them. GO DEES!!!

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
I am always nervous about Melbourne crowds (size and noise wise). I am also aware that on this forum there is a bit of a ‘us’ and ‘them’ views on this matter (other view being, that is just us we are quiet and refined etc). After hearing Goody’s press conference I am so much more convinced that the team really are hanging out big time for buy in from our supporters in terms of fronting up and making NOISE! (He / they appreciated the pick up of both this game). So….I repeat once again (for those of us that can), keep turning up on game day, get behind our boys and be LOUD. That simply is the most tangible way we can actually help our lads on game day. GO DEES!!!

Kings Birthday Sold Out
I catch the train in that goes past the Springvale market. I get of at Springy and pick up a Vietnamese Pork Belly roll and get back on the train. At the G I then buy a crappy meat pie (tradition or bad habit) and a beer or two (for the price you pay you sometimes think you are buying shares in the company!) At half time I eat the roll I bought. I love it!

PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Agree, I almost felt shameful that I mentioned it in my post. My paltry excuse was that I channel flicked at the end of the over in the cricket game when the ads came on. I honestly was searching to see if ‘The front bar’ was on. I know, it’s a poor excuse. It will never happen again. Sorry

Channel flicked onto Footy Classified just in time to hear Maguire make comment about Oliver. He could hardly contain his joy about Oliver being in hospital with an IV in his arm. Also scoffed about him returning after only having two weeks of for a hamstring injury. I really hope and want the Dees to win next Monday even more now, with Oliver BOG.
