This is the team that deserves the bottom of my chooks’ indoor accommodation… My brother buys the H/S (please pray for him 🤭) and brings them to mine every week. He’s a Carlton supporter but our unholy hatred for Essendon bonds us like nothing else. When he visits he checks the coop and it’s never not funny.

… and Storm enjoyed a thumping win; their 23rd consecutive first-round win. Incredible. 💜

Dunno but I have every hair and skin cell of his thigh seared into my memory. And it ain’t pretty

Matt Hill in commentary = 🤌

We’ve been told Perryman’s playing against his old side only a handful of times. Where’s BT when you need monotonous repetition?!

Sounds familiar. See also: Demonland GameDay thread.

Yeah, it’s huge in terms of where we’re at having had such an incredible preseason and with all the changes (coaches etc.)

Bloody hell… GO GIANTS!

Cal Brown… an Irishman ☘️

What a goal!

I’d never predict how any club will go based on the result of the first match.

As a side issue: today marks Jack Crisp’s 238th consecutive game. He’s now only seven games away from breaking Jimmy’s record. Time’s running out. Records are made to be broken etc. but the thought of that grub being the one to take the mantle makes me sick. Someone needs to take him out (make it look like an accident 🤭).

Yep. And it’s actually a broken bone, so I’m guessing he won’t line up against us 🤷‍♀️

Broken thumb. He got it caught in the door of the toilet on the plane

Didn’t know where to post this but since they’re playing today and coz we all hate them as it is, I’m posting it here. Pack of hyenas circling the poor kid

Love this 👏 👏👏

It’s always prudent to get permission to take the pics as well as to post them publicly. I’m especially mindful of this since I tend to spend lot of time with kids in the DA, in particular, teenage girls. I have no less than 10 “footy daughters” and teenage girls spend most of their waking hours taking selfies, so that’s a truckload of pics floating around. 😂

Geez you know you’re on the slide when PF drops the W-bomb 😅

Yeah, that'll 'loin' me. 🙂 BTW there's a thread on here as well as Melbourne's official website listing the numbers. It would be better just to read the names but still. My buddy knows the players’ numbers but it’s quicker to write just the numbers and not the names. She doesn’t edit her notes, she just sends them straight to me. She doesn’t read DL but she knows there’s an impatient, demanding poster who expects detailed reports pronto. He knows who he is but if there’s any doubt at all his initials are Roost it Far. That’s ROOST IT FAR. @Roost it far !!!!!

My buddy took this pic (with permission from the kids’ parents) this morning at Casey. These kids from a sports club stopped to watch the match sim. This is about the best you can get in terms of viewing at Casey… All Pickett Fence needs is a leg-up from a dozen or so people and imagine the training report!

If it’s all the same to you VNCL, can we wait the extra week and let Carlton bring them down to earth instead? TIA!

This is all well and good but has anyone had a haircut? Does The Bison have a girlfriend yet? Has Luker regrown the horrid moustache? Did Spaz put sunscreen anywhere other than the top of his ears??!! Geez RL23, lift your bloody game! 😁

Seriously intense. Judd running faster than has been 1/2 pace Kolt Milky Judd running laps Never seen them so fast! Apologies in advance @Roost it far she had to leave at halftime. But she rang me from her car and said what she saw today would make any Dees fan very excited. Normally levelheaded and staid, she was so excited she took a wrong exit off the highway. THAT’S how excited we should be 😅 She said at halftime the teams split up into two teams each and played against each other (half a side vs half a side).
