ANB is a freak, he’s gone to an A grader this year

He's on fire this year.  Was key tonight when Oliver and co were being held back.

It's interesting because I've been watching the NRL prelim. It's both on fox and 9 and both have there own commentators. It's not like the fox coverage take the 9 commentary.

Isn't it in the next rights deal that Foxtel will use their own commentators?

Yep   and it can't happen soon enough.

Few things- one did anybody else spot the cheeky smirk from JVR before his set shot. After a heap of set shot misses I knew he wasn’t going to miss when I saw that. 
Also how sickening was BT,s barracking for the filth 
 

Yep.  Thought most of the Channel 7 muppets were pro-Pies all day.  Painful and cannot wait until Foxtel can use their own commentators.

I'd moved on from top-2 a while back.  Simply down to a top four focus regardless of what happens Monday (although it would be awesome to put an end to the constant media dribble/love for the Pies).

No need to watch the post game interview.

(Opponent) were excellent today, they brought the pressure we anticipated.  We'll go away and learn from this. (Opponent) are a good side and we have to be better.

Thanks.

Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

The Ump #6 is atrocious.  Dumbfounded by his calls thus far.

Two hour drive to Canberra - then a flight to Melbourne to watch them mighty Dees.

Any word on ticket sales?

Fantastic win.  The guns did their thing but really impressed by Lampard and Chaplin.  Also loved how the girls fired up when teammates were bullied - the men could learn from that :)

 Still love this shot - pinched from Demonland during the pandemic.

Never liked Zorko and so happy to watch the Dees unite in making his night miserable.  Rivers owned him 🙂

Michael Hibberd keeps Cameron to 0 goals twice this season.  Legend.

Over the past 30 years only four clubs have managed to go back to back. Adelaide once (1998), Brisbane twice (2002, 2003), Hawthorn twice (2014, 2015), and Richmond once (2020).

Geelong has never done it. Their three premierships in 2007, 2009 and 2011 were followed by Hawthorn, Collingwood and Sydney, respectively.

Maybe this will help people with their expectations of this year, but winning one is tough, but going back to back is a rare feat. You’re dealing with complacency, culture changes, list changes, figured out game plan, a harder draw,  worse draft picks and most importantly - and I can’t stress this enough - a professional league of other elite clubs where every other team is trying to achieve the same goal.

Keep positive. Enjoy the footy we’re playing. Enjoy that we’re still extremely competitive and will be playing finals. Stop comparing it to last year and most of all have some healthy respect to the competition we’re facing.

Go Dees.

Fantastic post.  Suggest it should be the Demonland banner for the remainder of 2022.

Does anyone think Jye Amiss is worth taking a look at from Freo? 

Another kid from WA - is it worth the risk that this kind of drama could happen all over again?

A hospital handpass in every sense of the word

Hospital... almost sent him to the morgue!

Did that just bounce off Weiderman's head?

Have Bailey Laurie and Charlie Spargo ever been spotted together?

Keeping him long term just got a lot harder...   But short term may be real.  His comments post game about being surrounded by Trac, Oliver and Viney in the ruck made me think that he has to be aware of what a good thing he's been gifted.

Hit a bloody target inside 50

We did...  unfortunately their surname was McCartin every time :(

My lord!  How one sided are those Channel 7 clowns tonight?  I'm surprised they know the Melbourne player's names!

Yep - that about covers it. Something rib related is the result.

Ta.  Watched the game (and the tackle) but news on the injury was limited.  Hope the red vest was a precaution.

Sorry - didn't follow the game day chat - does anyone know what actually happened to Langdon?  The Foxtel commentary (aka Kangaroos support club) hardly said boo about the injury.

Gandalf, I was an armchair member too because we generally can never get to games. I rang the membership department and they suggested I upgrade to a 3 game membership. Difference was only $30 and that was the same amount I saved on my seat ($20 for me and $50 for my wife as a guest). All sorted within half an hour once I got through. Might be a good way to beat the rush on the morning. 

Thanks LFS, noted for the future.  Thankfully there were no hassles this morning at 10.05am.   I now have two tickets in Bay 49 and can't wait to get there :)        

Am I missing something?...  I'm an Armchair member (hence no barcode email for me) so do I have to wait for until tomorrow? 

Ignore that...  I believe I have to wait until 10am Wednesday :(

from hs

AFL tickets will go on sale to club members on March 1 and the general public on March 2, ahead of the season opener on March 16.

In another win for footy starved Victorians forced to watch their team on TV during successive lockdowns, ticket box offices closed due to the pandemic will reopen at stadiums for the first time in two years, allowing fans to buy tickets on the day.

Members will be allowed to return to reserved seats and fans previously restricted to zones separate zones will be allowed to meet at bars around the ground.

Thanks 😊👍
