whatwhat say what

interesting that he talks about investment funds being the next avenue for financial growth - dees got onto that VERY early thanks to chippendall and de crespigny, i think it was, recognising it as an avenue of growth that was outside the 'business of football' helped by joe getting Bentleigh club etc. on the cheap and then mfc selling it at the top of the market to have the funds to invest obviously

100% we're never going to be as big as the filth, the baggers, or the peptides but i think everyone is well aware of that the puddy tatts have the distinct advantage of being mega-rich due to their stadium deal and their spread of western victoria support but we can absolutely compete with the likes of hawthorn IF we win multiple premierships during a 40 year stretch like they did from the 1970s to the 2010s - 11 premierships from 1976 to 2015 is just an extraordinary fillip to grow a supporter base friend of a friend from wa goes for them and i asked why he never switched to meth coke in the 1980s / 1990s and his response was unequivocal - he started going for hawthorn in the late 70s / early 80s cos they were always winning, always being covered by the media, and kept winning success begats success

a close game is a good game...i guess?

how many weeks for higgins

aints dragging the pear down to their level same thing the tigs did to us for the first half

plugger is plugger mac, always and forever for me and some friends - he earned the nickname cos his set shot kicking action for goal is eerily like lockett and he can 'plug' a gap anywhere he plays disco is a great nickname for turner, but perhaps zaphod could work...

hawkins to rearrange weitering's nose but get off an appeal, you mean

gw$ are clearly the form team in the competition at the moment it's april

people are underrating how well disciplined yze has the tigs playing, particularly given the sheer amount of players they have on the sidelines currently easy to forget they knocked off sydney when they were absolutely flying in the first half they closed down space brilliantly and meant we couldn't get any ball movement going, our disposal was atrocious and gifted them scoring opportunities in the second half we continued to play the way we want to play - not a clearance-based game, but instead a post-clearance possession game - and we pretty much dominated as we expected

thoroughly enjoyed that, particularly that neither team won

win the contest and post-contest ball and don't let them get it on the outside our mids need to lift around stoppages

right-footed fritsch

been an entertaining contest

can't wait for all three of jeff's kids being at the dees

annual leave is yr friend

gotta say it's a great start to a long weekend to win on a wednesday

chaplin in the pre-game interview was clear - he's a forward they love his ability to get to contests and at a minimum get the ball to ground i don't think he's at risk of being dropped, and as long as he's not injured he'll remain in our starting 22

and the dominant second half made a difference yze is a smart coach - doing to dees what he did to the swans a few weeks back and dragging it down into the trenches and turning it into a slog the difference is the bloods lost and we...doubled their score, and kept them to under 50 points

6: lever 5: gawn 4: may 3: turner 2: langdon 1: rivers

no change

over double their score professional win second half we were clearly the superior side

running more than anyone bar langdon and windsor absolutely not

I can't believe how bad our skills are

what a slopfest

make it an inferno pls dees
