Big challenge, looking forward to seeing it, last season depth wasn't really tested lets see how we fare When is it time to start questioning Selwyn re injuries?? (KIDDING!!!)

Who are the top up coaches? Neeld? Malthouse?

They were just really grumpy about having to travel vast distances to attend the footy so late in the weekend...

NicNac is Benjamin Buttoning the ruck position, he’s gone from the most exiting with his athleticism to turn back the clock to the 80s and 90s plodders who had lots of ruck taps and sweet f all else.

Robinson fee kick against and 1 week, Rioli play on and… 3 weeks?

Almost buddy, it’s dual nation but not now as such. With covid it went to a NZ comp and Aust comp with finals played across both, this years its hybrid and inc two new teams in Fiji Drua and Monoa Pacifica. The Super Rugby comp was one of the most exciting competitions in the early to mid 2000s. The Aussie teams were great, you had some amazing players like the great Lomu. Expansion went a bit pear shaped for the Aussie teams and we’ve gone backwards, New Zealand has lapped us but the worst part was the ARU had to decide between keeping Melbourne Rebels or the WA team Western Force (backed by the billionaire Twiggy Forrest), they chose incorrectly on keeping the Rebels. We've been terrible and the Force with covid has come back into the Super rugby competition and is doing well. The traction is zero, it used to be aging a little foothold with ex pat Kiwis, SAFOs, Poms and rugby tragics from northern states with us late bloomers getting stuck in…. Fair to say it’s now give away tickets only. King out is a disaster for the Suns.

Melbourne Rebels level I’d say, easily up there with the worst professional teams going around. Why do I see a Levi Casboult on the field?!

I send this to the Dons cohort often…

Enjoy the travels F, hope you enjoy being back in Melbs, it does have its charms.

Oooohhhh how does go and get fffkkkkkdddd sound you massive bellend!

Will there be 25k at the Hawks v North game?

Spoke to the local chicken shop owner the other day, mad Hawks man. He was very happy for me and us to win but not to sure of a win vs North… I said to him I hope the Hawks never win another flag in his lifetime and he still should be happy at what he’s seen, he’s a fair man and said “probably fair as I’ve seen 10 in my lifetime….” 🤮

God imagine languishing in the dreaded Sunday time slot in round 1…. What a terrible triple header. Hawks are irrelevant already.

Hot and humid in Brissy, round 1, we were dumbly compared to the Dogs too.

The Pear are going to end up with 17 players and a 50 point flogging. Here he is, Joe D to shut us all up. Chris Johnson has been excellent in commentary, excellent.

I’ve grown over the years and don’t like to disparage players… Joe D is an interesting individual, like wow, a case study of some kind. How much are they paying him? He has the ability to do the magical, on rare occasions but far to often he’s off with his head noise having a dance party and loving it.

What?! That is as putrid as the EFC!

Saints kicked/pressured themselves out of that one, surprised they stayed in it for so long but the Pies are in about to fall off the cliff badly with Pendls and Sidebottom on the cusp.

Got I hate when the umpire guesses if shielded re the Gresham decision.

I said earlier the Saints have zero small fwds and it holds. Not having a dig but I hope Higgins has been finishing his VCE/getting an education/setting himself up post footy as it’s coming fast.

Pies by a big margin, pressure is greater, sadly still look a few years off. (Great last words)

If they can’t mark it in fwd 50 it’s an easy and straight rebound out for the Saints. Max King, nice (mark).

How good to see a big club like the Pies at the home of footy in round 1… oh wait sorry.

Maybe the Mason can lend his new goggles to the commentary team.

How good would it be as a Pies fan to see the Daicos boys running around. God I hate Collingwood.
