Good for you brother. You’re a better and classier drinker than I am, Gunga-Jim(my)

I hear ya, but I hopped into way too much of that last Sunday arvo at home. Piked out of going to the game, with a very exposed ground level seat allocation and crap weather forecast. Turned out to be a bad decision, based on how [censored] I felt on Monday. This week I’m going to the game to help keep myself a bit tidier. And the neighbours won’t have to hear me yelling and screaming as well.

Thanks for doing the research work guys. I'm walking distance from Box Hill oval and have a ticket to the game at the G. Stoked to know about the Casey game because it comes around here only once/year and usually it clashes with a game at the G or some other commitment. As I recall, it used to be a $10 entrance fee, regardless of Dees m'ship. I think that our free entry only applies at Casey. I'll be with the horde heading to Laburnum to get to the G on time. I'm due up high in Ponsford and my sprinting days are behind me, so 3/4 time leaving VFL seems a good option. And for those who remember the great egg and bacon rolls sagas, I can also tell you that the food at Box Hill, while really quite good, is nothing on the egg and bacon rolls at Casey. There is a bar inside the stand on the wing for purchase of liquid refreshment. If I piffed the tinnies far enough, I could almost hit my own recycling bin. But they'd have to be full tinnies to get the distance, so that'll never happen.

Bump against Salo?? WTF

Tomlinson doesn’t look up to matching it with a key forward

Anyone see what Selwood said briefly to Kossie as they were coming off??

Umps disgusting in that term. I love the pressure that we are applying. Still room to improve from several of the boys.

Good discussion - thanks EO for raising it. I read the article this morning and couldn’t put it down until the end. Like others here, I have a different view now vs what I had about him back when he was playing. Totally innocent question, triggered by LH’s comment: who do you think in our club’s past would have reason or need for the club to reach out and right some past mistakes? On a non-racial basis, I think Junior McDonald might deserve some arms around him. Are there others, particularly indigenous, who come to mind?

Murmungee lookout is a rippa And riding a road bike down the Buckland gap is scary-good.

I watched it alone at home. I yelled and slumped back in my chair, and yelled and slumped, and did it again and again and again. At half time my TV took the initiative to go online to put in an order for a slipper guard to protect itself. I turned the TV off at 3/4 time for the first time in......in fact I don't think I've EVER done that. I ALWAYS watch till the end - until now. In texting my beautiful partner during the game (we live apart), I was so [censored] off that it came through in my attitude and language and she's now [censored] at me. Probably rightly so. These are the learnings I took from the 'game'. I don't need any more learnings like this.

Appreciating the comments about the 'hidden' features (at least to me thus far) in the AFL App. Can anyone tell me if there is an option to rewatch a whole match on the app? I only get to see highlights packages after a match, but would love to rewatch some games.

Good boy Viney. Fire up now!

Depends on how many scotches you (or they) have had. After a few more, elephants fly as well.

Silly Red. We have the bye next week. Maybe you're thinking about the week / month / year after that?

Hunt was something of a revelation up forward this year. Often he did fast leads straight towards the ball kicker - gave him a space advantage vs his opponent, and allowed the kicker to know exactly where to place the ball predictably for it to be marked.

Hello darkness my old friend.... I think that was by Simon Can Get Funkled.

How did the elephant get in the room??

Hahaha. Pleasant relief from reality. But seriously.... Wots a subjunctive?

As i recall, he also played forward in his early days at Casey. Wasn't a spectacular success and you don't want to pin any hopes on him to impact a game, but he didn't look all at sea there.

You don’t tug on superman’s cape You don’t spit into the wind You don’t pull the mask of that old Lone Ranger And you don’t breathe on an Eagle

Great effort Hunty, Turned it into a shot on goal.

I actually thought he looked more like a Sopwith Camel pilot. Tally ho old chap..... Pity we got shot down in the last qtr by the Red Baron and his squadron

Think I recall a very good ‘down memory lane’ type of article about that park by @Whispering_Jack. Worth a read. It must still be on the site somewhere.

Thank you OD for that ripe old suggestion, but I’m a bit too bent for public office.

Is there some great historical achievement that the day celebrates? Was it the crowning of King Banana of the Banana Republic perhaps? Or maybe was it the birthday of the Top Banana? Were the bells peeling across the suburbs? Did the loyal fans go on a bender? So many questions with possibly fruitful answers.
