Dr. Gonzo

I think that was just captured at the right (wrong?) moment - seems it was just part of the push and shove but the pic makes it look like he flushed him on the jaw.

Didn't see Franklin's but I can see Pickett getting anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks especially with the current climate of concussion legal actions against the AFL. If he gets off it would be a miracle. Smith playing on helps the cause but the AFL won't like seeing hits like that replayed through the week and will want to send a message that we are serious on potential head injuries.

Lucky us we're used to the ridiculous wind from training out at Casey 🤣

Wish I could be there tonight, hopefully the Demons get off to a great start of the season. If we lose its not the end of the world but still, I'd like to win. Go Demons!

So much wrong in one post 😂

Did it actually screenshot the ticket though? That message came up for me last year too but scanning in with the screenshot worked a treat. It helped a lot because I usually by between 6-10 tickets for my family and take screenshots which I send them through messenger so they can get in and never had an issue. Just make sure the brightness is up on your screen when scanning in otherwise it may not pick it up.

Congrats mate - already signed up as a Baby Demon I presume

Who tipped Richmond? ROFL

Exactly! May, Salem, Viney, Fritsch all important/automatic players and big outs but look at who we still have in. Oliver, Petracca, Gawn, Brayshaw, Petty, Lever, Kozzie, TMac, Grundy, Langdon, Hunter. Still a formidable side to front up against.

Spewing I can't go but my son wanted to have his birthday party at home instead of going to the footy so home it is. It also means there's another 6 or 7 of my family who won't be going either. I also have a christening on the same afternoon as the Swans game in round 3 so because of all our interstate games the first one I'll get to go to is ANZAC Eve! Gonna make sure I get there for as many games for the rest of the year after that, it's going to be a good season I feel and I want to make sure I'm there to enjoy it.

The Greatest Showman

Chuck in Schwarta pre knee injuries too!

That is the creamiest puff of all cream puff fixtures. What a way to ease into the season!

I got a nice bottle of Tanduay rum straight from the Philippines for my birthday, may crack that open on Saturday

Amazing to think how far we've come in 10 years 💙❤️

Trying to watch the game on the tv while having a house full of relos over for my son's birthday. Need to make sure all the food is cooked by the first bounce and I have a scotch/whiskey/rum in hand. Hopefully we win so I can watch the replay when they all leave.

They'll be expecting Jye Amiss to step up I assume

Are people still waiting on their membership packs? I received the AFL membership one last week but nothing from Melbourne yet.

I think the age would be way off for that

I think they might sneak into the 8 but no way they have a run like last year especially with Suns, Blues and Port pushing back towards finals.

Nah but his desk is

Especially with our history of foot injuries. Just get it right before he returns.

Including Anzac Eve?

This is a classic game from 1989 - 4 rounds after being smashed by Geelong by 69 points at a mud packed MCG where we kicked 2.8.20 for the whole game we beat them by 3 points at Waverley! Check out some of the efforts of Garry Lyon in the last quarter and a bit including a monster torp goal to the right of screen reminiscent of his one against the Blues in the 88 Prelim.

These ones are a little bit deeper in the vault but I love the history of the game (and club) and I hope some others might find it as interesting as I do. This is a replay of the final quarter of our win over the Pies at Vic Park in 1968.
