Got my red suit on, navy shoes and top... even my red glasses on! Only 10 hours to go...

Oh completely agree! I think maybe the occasional change up when the opportunity presents itself would be the most we could do. Based on @The heart beats true's post about Lever's radio interview... seems even more unlikely to happen unless the boys go rogue in special circumstances! Also feeling a bit sick at the prospect of playing into Sydney's hands...

Maybe we'll do a switch and bait in the finals around this set up? It feels so obvious and repetitive that departing from it strategically should give us a competitive edge provided the boys are trained to expect it

Kozzie's getting fined again?! Seems like the AFL have it in for Koz...

McGovern recalling his high school drama days! Great video editing on that haha

I didn't keep an eye on Petty in the first half but he did spoil two goals for Carlton in the second half... pretty handy!

Salem - good first half

6 Melksham 5 Pickett 4 Oliver 3 Petty 2 Hunt 1 Brayshaw

Melksham truly MVP in that game, with highlights from Kozzie!!!

Thank you Melksham!!!!!!!!!

Stick a fork in us, we're well over done

How can it be holding when Viney dropped it??

ANB kick to nowhere 🙃

Loved Kozzie's goal and his headband (likely borrowed from Hunt?). Hoping the rest of the forwards can step up...

Big mood, started my sugar intake but it doesn't rival WCW!

If anyone sees a confused German at level 2 behind our goal, be kind. I convinced him he hasn't been to Australia if he hasn't seen the Dees play!

Agreed. Decided this game to cheer every time Collingwood supporters booed. Barely a quiet moment. Lost the game and my voice! Excruciating in that final quarter...

Feeling the creep of nerves this morning... waiting for my flight to Melb to take off. I'll spend all day working alongside a Pies supporter which will only exacerbate things! Hoping we can back up Lingers' words and show some proper Melbourne style footy!

I agree, @layzie Ed strikes me as quite a grounded guy but it seems like he isn't as nuanced at the media as others (or rather that the subsequent response from the media misses the nuance!). This brings to mind that time he was seen as slagging off his ex coach at Freo last year. Foot in mouth, even though he's not trying to be disrespectful!

Ordered a new balance jumper from the Demon Shop online and the Narrm pin set. I selected ordinary post and was very impressed when it arrived within 3 days, since I'm interstate! Although the sizing is dreadful so I'm going to have to get the hem taken up.

I just finished the chapter of the book answering these questions on the train home! Our zone was Goulburn Valley. Prior to that we were quite successful with our recruiting because Jim Cardwell would travel around Victoria and use the MCC as leverage to attract talent (despite Melbourne being a low paying club).
