Good Times Grimes

I have never been more proud to walk around the MCG with the number 4 on my back.

6- Watts: The backline is the place for him. What a great game! 5- Rivers: Unlucky not to get the 6. He was fantastic. 4- Jones: As usual, played with his heart on his sleeve; just this time, he had 21 support acts. 3- Grimes: We've got ourselves a captain! 2- Garland: Our match winning forward 1- Tapscott: I thought he was excellent tonight: he went in hard, took some courageous marks, made some smart plays. Glad to have him in the team. Honourable mentions: Nicholson, Moloney, McDonald, Green

Couldn't agree more...he played a ripper!

I'm so happy for Mark Neeld after all the criticism he has copped in the media in the last few weeks. I know how good this win feels for me, I can't even imagine how he's feeling.

I'm in the same boat mate! I can't remember being as happy with a Dees win as I am with this!

There is no better feeling in the world than this! The game ended over almost 2 hours ago and I still can't wipe the smile from my face! GO DEES!!!!!

Fletcher and Crameri rumoured to be out.

The final SC scores have been updated...it was even higher than 220. Buddy finished with 236 points! I wish I'd picked him as my captain this week.

That's for sure. 18 goals would net quite a healthy return in both of those competitions.

And the highest ever Dreamteam (204)

I'd wait a few hours before making that statement.

Neeld likes Bartram a lot...I'd be very surprised to see him go anywhere. I'm also a fan of Bail. Other than that, I pretty much agree with you.

According to an interview with him on this week's episode of The Robbo Show the aim is (and he's tracking well for it) that he'll be good to go for day one of preseason.

What a goal it was...great move by Kopitar

Damn...thought this might happen though. Oh well, looking forward to seeing another week of Sellar *sarcasm*

I never said that I think we'll win, I was just saying there's a good chance that the Bombers will be wary of us. I predict a 10 goal loss, for the record. Also to go on record: Your "optimism" lasted 3 hours and 46 minutes. Well done.

Both of those things could just as easily be to our advantage. Essendon: Could we be their bogey team? Maybe they won't have confidence going in. Collingwood: Neeld and Brown will know all about Buckley and the Collingwood list...this could be a huge bonus for us.

Interesting. We signed some of those towards the end of 2010 though, didn't we? (Frawley, Watts) Also, what's the rule with regards to delisting? How many do we need to make? I heard the rule was 3 changes, but does that include trades/retirements?

It's a shame we don't have a fit Martin this week...he was awesome against Essendon last year.

OD is our very own Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

Is this for tomorrow night of for next weekend? Or both? I love the change in attitude, OD...very convincing!

I think we'll put up a good fight on the QB, but I'm not so confident about tomorrow. If we can escape the next 2 weeks without a belting we might be well prepared to go into the second half of the season and grab a few wins. Wouldn't that be nice...

Just winding you up, OD.

I'm not going to let myself get excited until there's some evidence in place that we're on the right track.

It sounds like Stanton's close to re-signing anyway. Why don't you like those players?
