If it hasn't already been said, those were the same three umpires that did the Brisbane v Geelong game last week.

Just said on the news that he'll be back in full training from tomorrow and hopes to get some VFL minutes if not this weekend then next.

Harsh on Jordan.

Can someone remind me the player who started the whole 426 thing? I know we had a guy that had return from injury as "4 to 6 weeks" almost permanently, but can't remember who it was.

Fair weather supporters can [censored] right off imo. You either support the club or you don't. If there was ever a time for people to be champing at the bit to get to a game - having not been able to attend for so long - that was it.

No they weren't. "General Reserved" tickets were $27

Colour me shocked that you completely missed the point...

Petracca looked a bit uncomfortable in last couple of minutes. Reaching for left knee and had a half hobble/limp. Hopefully ok

I give it till the end of this game before half of the anti-Oscar brigade start saying we should have kept him and lamenting the club for another bad decision...

Thats the spirit... ?

As mentioned earlier, you need to select seating location that applicable to whatever membership you have. It you have general admission, then select "General Reserved" ticket and it'll be $0.00 (plus $3.15 service fee... ?)

It said this in the "Important Event Information" section on ticketek page. So backpacks ok?

Same. I'd assumed with 50% capacity that "allocation exhausted" actually meant that they aren't opening L4

I have general admission membership and selected only option where ticket was $0.00

Whilst it's only a couple of bucks, it's complete BS that we have to pay a service fee to redeem tickets.

Jesus... ? It was a VFL practise match. They weren't even taking stats. The Casey Demons twitter account posted quarterly updates re what was going on, who was getting involved..etc. I'm not going to provide the link, cause I'm sure if people cared as much as their complaining would suggest, they'd have already found it by now. Wasn't hard.

Not sure he does yet, or if his foot is ready for it. No idea what percentage of the game he played today, but last week vs Bulldogs he only played a half and was then sitting around afterwards at Marvel with a heavily strapped left foot.

Was he #40 ? I was at the game, but wasnt sure who Smith was. Only clue was players calling #40 "Deaks" If so, then agree that he looked pretty good.

Not really the point I was making. If one of your mates was copping it from someone else (rightly or wrongly) I assume you'd want to go in to bat for them? These flogs were right beside Viney & co as they were giving it to whoever at the time, and they knew it. Thats a bit different to the heros on their keyboards here or someone yelling from stands where their target or friends of can't hear it. It was cringeworthy and they knew there was absolutely nothing the players would/could do about it as even a "steady on mate" would probably have resulted in the cameras coming out and a nice little incident for the media flogs to salivate over.

5... Viney/Oliver/Brayshaw/Melksham/Brown for showing great restraint as three [censored] Bulldog supporters beside them hurled abuse at their onfield teammates all game.

I take some comfort in the fact that Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Salem, Kossi, Melksham, Weideman, Brown and co are sitting in stand behind me.

10 to 3 in the 3rd... ? Not the difference, but doesn't help

Choc Williams spending a lot of time out in the middle with Jordan, Sparrow & Bedford. Today I'm most looking forward to seeing how Bowey and Jordan go, along with the re-emergence of Harmes and Hunt back in the positions they play best. *Bowey, not Rosman

Declase is #45. Big unit with orange/yellow boots. Smith not sure, but they've been calling #40 "Deaks" so that could be him. Brayshaw said on his podcast thing with Max during the week that he'll only be playing a half, so don't think we'll be seeing any more of him today

I'd rather go and be disappointed, than not go at all and maybe miss the only opportunity to go to live game all year. This time last year I went to practise match v North at Arden, followed by All Stars game at Marvel. We all know what happened after that... ? So yeah, while I can go I will!
