Love the podcast but found it a little stilted this time. Might just need to get used to the new format!

Same, I got totally invested after reading Duffy's life story!

Yes, that's very true. Ian Roberts from NRL has also talked about it, I think there was a 'You Can't Ask That' episode (on ABC) where he did so

Tipped Weagles over North, in honour of my friend who just moved to Perth and matched with one of the players on a dating app lol

That's how Max would write about it in the sequel to his Captain's Diary, for sure!

I prefer the commentary from our resident Valkyrie regarding the Manor's booze stocks 😁

Amazing how quiet this thread gets when preseason footy games started haha

You and me both! I shouldn't have changed my mind and arranged to visit Melb for Round 1!

Good God, did somebody kick a leprechaun in the past few days? Not Maysie!!!

I'm currently trying to sell my family on a little weekend holiday to watch the North game. Keep on reminding them of all the good food and Mona!

The Mobile Manor! Very impressive... or slightly intimidating maybe Based on the Dee Army website, I suspect we have to purchase general admission but other than that there are no seats unless prearranged with the venue / brought of your own volition

Please, we don't need that sort of language on Demonland 😋

Yes, definitely what I'm hoping for! And what I'm booking based on. Feels a bit safer to do so knowing we're against the Giants. P.S. really like the fancy new double quote feature, nice update!

Thought it would be nice to have a thread to discuss / organise / troubleshoot travelling for games this season. Although there is some self interest... I'm planning on going to Round 16 at Traeger Park, NT. Anybody got a crystal ball for likely game date? It'll have to be between 29 June and 2 July (rip for those of us pinned down by EOFY). Who else has travel plans?

Needed this rec a few weeks ago when looking for something to do! Now there's too much footy to focus on haha

A week or two out from the first practice match would be worst week imo. People are still slow (from the end of last year) and whilst interest is picking up there's a lot of barrel scraping for content. It also feels agonisingly far away from the proper start of things.

After telling myself that I'm making the effort to go to the Brisbane game and that I needn't watch Round 1 in person... yesterday I caved and used my railway pass to arrange a 10 hr trip down to Melbourne from Syd on Thursday night. I'll crash with some family, work the Friday, and then on Saturday prepare for all things Dees at the G!

I am excited for Richmond to have a decidedly terrible season... Mainly because in 2022 the first thing my very senior coworker (pro Tiges) said to me was that Dee fans are obnoxious, can't go the distance and we won't win again for another 57 years ...No, I'm not bitter on the daily about this, why do you ask?

Poor Spargs spent half his time giving an injury report! Interesting to hear a little about his "professional lifestyle". Starts at 1 hr 11 min mark for those looking

Love the interview! He seems very personable too

I think some people probably go under the radar... we even have a few non-binary people I believe!

Same, loved how he said he'd even go sit on the bench if it was going to help us to premiership. So humble! Good to hear Max will be focusing on improving his forward craft, and in particular how he will work with T Mac and BBB.

Et tu!

Gotta love a bit of late night Latin 😉
