They had 15 Premiership players.

Joel Smith... the Super Sub!

I waited for rain to stop after game; 
thirty mins later he’s running the boundary with a trainer

You know what this means don't you, for the media... Carlton will join Collingwood, Port and maybe Brisbane as the only real premiership contenders. Geelong might sneak into some people's calculations.

All good. Premierships are won in September 

I’m hoping if we’re in the GF it’ll be on the back of a huge Roo September 

R24 - Beat Swans and get Port over there. 
“Manage” a few and its a home final. 
 

Home final :)

Isn’t our preference Week 1 at MCG?

Ray Groom was also Minister in Federal Parliament under Fraser

Apparently Curtin remained a paid up lifelong member.
Between dealing with Churchill and Roosevelt, still found time to ring and wish his old club good luck on the morning of a big game. 

There is a photo in Brunswick FC history of something like 1910 or 1920 Reserves Premiers” and the note - along the lines, “the player in the front row with big smile and long sleeves only played one more season - but went on to greater things as Australian wartime Prime Minister, John Curtin”.

Doug Bigelow the former Bomber and ABC commentator when describing the great Robbie went with 'Flower Supreme' many moons ago

Amongst my circle, the comment stuck

And what we saw from Rivers was quintessential Robbie Flower ... exalted company

Dash, dare and the driving kick forward.  Magnificent

Haha yeah - in that Doug Bigelow voice - in the background 

Third would likely give us Port over there. 
Secure a home final with fourth.

Sure is.  A good recent example was (listening to ABC driving home last night) Kelli Underwood bringing it up in the context that she said Steven May was the only player not to run up to Melksham to congratulate him on that final goal.

Pathetic Kelli. Just a talking head .  Malthouse to his credit batted away the insinuation.

Sure I saw May and Meilkie embracing after game

Best impossible comeback/great escape wins I've seen live:

5. V Geelong Rd 6 2006

4. V Freo Rd 7 2008

3. V Bulldogs Rd 21 2005

2.V Carlton QF 2000

1. V Brisbane Rd 18 2023

Carlton final was best ever live  

Max game at Geelong best of all time  

Good sides win the close ones

“Full backing of the CEO and the Board,” 

means clean out your locker

Dees players regularly say Suns team hardest to play. 
This year the same. 
 

Relocating Premiership coaches not really successful. 
Only Mick (2010) done it since 2000. 
Oh,  and Matthews but that side was already growing into Godzilla.

6  to 2 this quarter. so far

and the game so far?

Few things gladden my heart more than seeing them cop a one point beating -  or 100.

This time it's corporate execs and focus groups looking to disband the "Bombers" moniker.

As good as any from the VFL - who does it offend/why?  They've always had  the whole Airport proximity and WW2 Lancasters etc.

I understand  its not a great  idea to run around Karachi airport decked out in your latest from Napier Street. People have been denied boarding aircraft for wearing (or DONning) BOMBER gear.

Next it will be the  Magpies, Tigers, Cats, Bulldogs etc because  some woke outfit feels it  dehumanises birds and mammals.  Or those who identify as birds and mammals.

How about Saints?  And Demons?

Hope we show more than one way to skin a cat.

Defence looks so much safer with Salem finding form.

And McVee ....

Internet makes it too easy these days. Not like pointing the shortwave antenna on the 15 m waveband working the Nan Hai 5 platform outta Wenzhou - East China Sea

I fear if he left, Scott extending his career another 5 years at Geelong 🤮
