They keep hanging in... 14 points... some terribly unaccountable footy in last 5 mins from Swans.

Norf just keep hanging around, come on Swannies gas down! 10 points in it...

Good on him for having the balls to make the call.

Yes Saty I'm asking David for an opinion, I assume he spends most of his days checking in here...

If Norf kicked straight they'd be in front. Swannies need a half time orange to get back on track.

Many reasons why it would be awesome if we smashed our way into finals this year, this would be one of them... David how is Roos coaching at present?

It's pointless turning up tomorrow if Norf win.

How's the bloke in the crowd with the big old Afro and the half Swannies half Roos jumper?!

And it's not round 1 of the season?!

Brilliant to see Daw and Aliir playing on each other. Buddy down the race to get treatment on a hip issue....

Was terrible, he actually ran away from the drop of the ball.

Wowee, Hill didn't want a bar of the Kennedy contest. Gibbo gave him a serve for it too.

God I hate the Hawks, apathy for Eagles... Go eagles.

If I was Carlton is be playing like the end of the season can't come quick enough. I think that's what we'll see. Peds may come back in as a late change yet.

Let's wait for the outcome before saying dumb. Weid looked OK in his first game, Hoges may not come up so PEDs is back in. ANB and Michie have been killing it for weeks on end. Last chance saloon for Viv you'd think over next few weeks, conditions to suit him this week. Salem is still under done.

Interesting to see Vickery has been omitted this week. Keeping him in cotton wool for a trade?

Yea true Melky could step into that spot. Vince is an interesting one as well. Salem winger, half fwd lazering pills to Weid, Hoges and Wattsy.

Same, we do need either someone to develop internal or to bring in a strong half back defender who has good skills. Not sold on Salem as a defender, Harmes as a defender. Wags has shown a little bit and looking fwd to see how he pushes on over preseason.

A job for life maybe?

Guilt tripping him into staying, classy Woosha.

aren't they not allowed to be in contact? From same article: "But he's yet to hear back from the dominant defender, stretching out the Dons' preferred timelines on contract decisions for next season. "I sent him a message the other day," Worsfold said. "I thought he was overseas because he hasn't responded yet ... I'm hoping to hear from him and organise a time to catch up fairly soon."

I was 10 at the time and remember parts of the game at Footscray and the prelim vividly. The old man was a made Dees man. Waverley the wind following us at the end of each qtr and then dropping towards the end of the third, then stay staying with the Hawks for the last. It sure seemed like it. I dreamed, we all dreamed, then the terrible missed shots on goal followed by that moment. The devastated, hushed ending was almost unbearable. The old man was a big man and was terribly unhappy at the end, it was unfortunate for the Hawks mate of his we travelled up from Geelong with. The radio went on to listen to the post match and not a word was spoken until we dropped his mate off at his door. "Goodnight..." He said with happiness in his voice. GFY was the response. Ahhhh I miss the old fella.

"Brian Fontana said: ↑ When the fixture is so rigged there's no such thing as "deserves", but if they can beat Hawks and Geelong and boost their percentage along the way to get past North, good luck to them. I think there is more chance of North beating GWS at Docklands than Melbourne winning in Geelong, but if both results go against us, as well as next week's game in Hobart, so be it. " Sorry how many games did they play in a row at Docklands to start the year, how many of the top 8 did they play?

Sooooo in the spirit of not getting ahead of ourselves... All things going to plan and Norf lose this weekend, we belt Carlton and get over the line against the Cats. I think it would be hilarious if a huge contingent of Dees fans (in our Dees gear) head along to the Norf v GWS game that night cheering loudly for GWS (besides Scully of course).

The boss is from SA so we thought it only fitting to call him "barrels". Took him 2 weeks of a few of us calling him that to ask us why... Not sure he is sold on it, but it has stuck.
