Hunt practising torps out of the goal square. Most carried about 70m, right up the middle. His last one hit the egde of the centre circle so closer to 80m Now trying torps at the goals from his favourite pocket. Nailed one of them. All the rest were all over the place... ? Trac is warming up

Closed now

I work just down the road from Etihad and getting a couple of hours in before the game starts. As at 10.30am, the roof was open. Hopefully they close it.

Egg on the face of a lot of people who bagged the [censored] out of him here too....

Found another way! Yay! *Settling in at the food court*

Ooh!! Sweet - THANKS!!!!!!

Looks awesome at the ground. I'll have to rely on this thread for updates unless I can find another alternative. Cmon Dees!!!

Ignorantly, I had hoped AFL live pass would work when overseas. God dammit! ?

Pathetic. And I'm not talking about Lever... Its always the same here. Rag on a player for whatever reason, bemoan drafting him, his continual selection, his limitations.. etc Nek minnit... wow guys, that guy is good! I remember eveyone here used to say Tmac was no good. How'd that work out? Last year Omac was the continual whipping boy. Levers turn now is it? Why not just spare yourselves and everyone else the premature rants, and wait.

If there has been a thread or discussion about this somewhere, I missed it. What problems?

Garletts weapon is speed. He is not a pack marker. You can't expect him to do much with it when almost every entry into the forward 50 is bombed on top of his he head, often to a 2 on 1 That said, he could have spent a bit more time up the ground

I'd have been interested to see what the general theme of this thread would have been, had Gawn nailed his shot. One kick has seemingly turned the analysis of an entire game from what would have been reasonably positive (2nd quarter aside), to overwhelming negative.

Just said on 9 news that there has been a bit of a backdown and AFL has told clubs they can use whichever song they like.

Lets hope not!

For anyone thinking of going, tickets are $5 if you have a membership. Just enter barcode on back of membership card when booking online. Otherwise its $20

So who is still salty at only getting pick 31 for Watts?

I didnt mind it.

I was standing next to Mark Stevens about this time last year during a training session and he was dead set trying to turn players leaving the field to get a rub down into some newsworthy injury. "Zoom in on <player> over there <cameraman>, I reckon he's done a hammy. Yep, yep, he has. He just touched it. Get a close shot please" Nek minnit... Player runs back on and resumes training.....

Dont know if it was me who mentioned it when you read it, but thats something I've always said. After an early weekend loss I just want to forget about footy for a few days and so find it hard to enjoy watching any other games in the round. Often dont even feel like going to the local footy! Bring on Sundays!

Balic took several leave of absences didn't he, citing homesickness? Maybe the one year contract is simply the club not overcommitting incase there is more to it?

They were saying on SEN last night that this is effectively a salary cap dump for Port. Lobbe is on a multi year big $ contract and the deal is apparently subject to Carlton taking on the full salary.

So if I heard what they said on SEN correctly, what we paid in points for Lever is equivalent to pick 6. What the Crows paid for Gibbs is equivalent to pick 5 L!!! O!!! L!!!

I'm trying to think of a Boaty McBoatface equivalent, but got nothing.
