I’m all good. Actually I’m more than just good, I’m [censored] flying and it’s not the Red Bulls (they wear off 10 minutes after drinking them). This feeling is priceless. This win mattered more than it should’ve. Now to watch the replay!

Pffft I didn’t. And I didn’t shed a tear. Not a single tear. OK I cried like a baby. The relief was overwhelming. It’s hard to keep it together when your heart is bursting with pride. So bloody proud to be a Dees supporter.

I hope so! He’s two games away from his 250th.

Apparently Melks has been pulled off and is headed for the ‘G

Andy “currently playing around the half back line “

I’ll ask my DA buddies who are at the match.

We’ve got cheer squad members there this morning. Apparently AMW looks great, is running well and has no strapping. YAY!

CONGRATULATIONS, A! This is what you and your beautiful wife were hoping for. So happy for you both. PS Boy or Girl? And name please 😊

Your little sheet rack is all over the place. No amount of coffee and Red Bulls is gonna cut it this morning. This is finals-like feels.

🥳❤️ GAMEDAY! 💙🥳 Longest. Preseason. Ever. EVER! I had trouble sleeping last night such is the excitement and nervousness that comes with not just gameday but our first gameday under the new order. A win today means so much more than a regular win, for many reasons. We NEED to win today. LFG! The Mighty Dees by 3 points and a defibrillator. (CS3) 200 games PS: watch Trelly rip it up out there!

As with every other aspect of footy, things change. There are several reasons for no longer raising, dropping, rotating then raising again (a “show”). These days there’s so much going on and so many people on the ground at the time. The grounds staff have a hard time making sure of everyone’s safety. Timing is another reason. Everything is planned down to the minute. For example the umpires come out at say 3:03pm and that means we raise the banner at 3:06pm, if our boys are running out first. There are hefty fines if we’re late in leaving the ground after raising. The weather’s another factor. Marvel is about the only stadium where a show might be considered. It would be good if they could show the front of the banner on the big screen.

You know, you can praise Nibs without having to bag Chin.

Wow. On the screen just now was a note that Collingwood has won 12 of the last 13 matches vs the Crows. That makes this all the more SWEET 👏

Handy point 🤣

Sealer? Not yet. CARNA CROWS!

The Foxtel commentators need to do a refresher course on impartiality.

All good, PF. Judd’s young and has a lot to learn. I bear him no ill will.

Iirc your son’s favourite player was Nibs and upon his departure Salo became his #1. Your son’s fave player game is great, btw. @Fritta and Turner recently said Salo’s nickname should be Raymond, as in, Everybody Loves… and it’s true. Salo is by far and away the most popular player among the group. Everyone is friends with him and there’s no one he doesn’t get on really well with. He’s got a playful, fun personality, he’s a prankster and he’s really witty. But at the same time he’s a loyal friend and a really sincere person. We’re blessed to have him at our club.

Tomorrow’s banner has a huge pic of Salo and the wording is… CHRISTIAN SALEM 200 SUPERB GAMES A TRUE MFC SUPERSTAR Now promise not to tell anyone 😁

Unfortunately one side has to have the advertising of one of our sponsors/partners, some exceptions are made such as ANZAC eve and KB. But I like your idea nonetheless 😊

Another sch!tty thing about the post-goal songs is that we’ll be drowned out when chanting which is something we do after every goal. Probs not a biggie to most people but the little kids in our cheer squad love it, they do it so enthusiastically.

Of course! We never miss a milestone. And because Tmac’s not playing, Salo gets the whole front of the banner for his 200th.

I’ve been watching No Holds Barred, the 8-part series on GWS’s 2025 campaign. I’m on the fifth episode and thus far have seen some Kingsley sprays of various intensity but I imagine they’ll be nothing compared to what they would’ve copped today.

I lied. Not everyone had gone back to the rooms. Trelly was out here for quite a while practicing set shots with Wheels looking on. The first thing Trelly said to me was, “FINALLY!!!” I thought Bless, you’ve been with us for all of five minutes. I mean, he literally couldn’t have been selected earlier. He talked about the announcement that was made yesterday and how he may’ve looked composed on the outside but the truth is he wasn’t on the inside. He is so humble it hurts. He said he’s gonna kick the ball to me tomorrow. I said that’s fine but only if the angle suits, like he doesn’t know how to footy 😅 I said I’d happily take a ball to the head if it means a goal. He said he’ll be sure to miss my head. I said Well you’ll try to miss my head. He said No, I will miss your head. Gotta love that quiet confidence. Cut to me unconscious and bleeding slumped across mama Frittata’s lap. 😁

I didn’t see him. I didn’t see many of them because they started early. But another track-watcher told me he was there but couldn’t say for sure that Leb was fine because it was such a light session, just casual kick-to-kick and it’s hard to glean anything from that.
