I wonder if it was a way to highlight the disruption in preparations for the WCE game. A 7pm flight the night before is not ideal.

Also, his distribution was v good.

I’d love to know what was going on with Oliver and TMac - both of them looked absolutely knackered from the first bounce. They each had the look of someone who has been ill.

We’ve decided not to go - as much as we’ve been looking forward to it, it’s irresponsible. As a small business owner, I feel awful for the owners of the pubs, clubs, cafes etc. and really hope the government steps up to help them out. The panic-buying is one thing, but the increasing rates of death should hammer home the importance of treating this sh1tful disease seriously.

I spoke to the Sporting Globe yesterday as I’d reserved a table for me and my lad - they said everything was still going ahead in accordance with govt legislation. edit to add: I only just realised that MFC members get 20% off the bill.

Luke Hodge is the best thing about Channel 7 commentary.

It’s so sad - they have both been fantastic. Hopefully they can come back next year, when this utter sh1tstorm is just an unhappy memory.

I will never forget that moment - ballot got me Level 2 seats in the pocket. Unbelievable feeling!

One of the all-time greats.

How good will that be?! Thanks everyone for the feedback. Looks like we will head to the Sporting Globe - hopefully will see some of you there.

Awesome - thanks so much.

I was hoping to get over to Perth for Rd 1 with my lad, but now can’t. Does anyone know if there’s an ‘official’ venue in Melbourne to watch the game? Does the Bentleigh Club or the Sporting Globe(?) still put Dees away games on? Thanks guys.

Another great episode. The Harley Bennell announcement was very special.

Fritsch looks skinny, but woe betide anyone who thinks he can be intimidated - he is as hard as a cat’s head.

Ha ha - I actually thought this yesterday!

Great news and no leadership group. I think the latest To Hell And Back has shown us that everyone must step up and lead, when it is their time to go.

At first, I couldn’t see why we were after Tomlinson to play on the wing, as he doesn’t have the speed of a Langdon. But remembering his finals series for GWS, I realised that we had picked him up largely for his intercept ability. We lost out so often on rebound 50s last season, because we had no one to take a grab on the wing, we were constantly outmarked each week. Hopefully with Tomlinson, our set up to rebound after an opposition clearance will be much improved this year.

Sniping aside, is there an official re-start date for training? Would be a good distraction for school hols - thanks!

What I really like about this announcement is that Mahoney is very measured in the statement. No grand promises or fanfare - just...we’re happy to have him here, now let’s wait and see.

Or maybe her mail? Either way, it’s pretty good.
