At Least I Saw a Flag

Brisbane out to $4.30 on Sportsbet

Bike ride this morning, followed by early afternoon nap. About to have afternoon tea ... tea + orange cake. Goin right off in Northcote. Pre match dinner at Mountain View Hotel ... Pumped ... A loss tonight would be a massive disappointment.

Hope the coach gives Kozzy the occasional short run on the ball (particularly the occasional centre bounce) to get him up and about.

Not for me. Corgis are really annoying dogs.

Captain Obvious here ... Reigning premiers, undefeated after 10 rounds. Going out in straight sets would represent a fail. Reaching a Prelim would be a pass ... One difference between 2021 and 2022 is our record against top teams. Thank you ...

Well, i'm going!!!

Not verbal abuse ... but gestures ??

What were the crowd numbers like?

I did that once (senior's moment). I sent a msg to Ticketek asking to return some of the tickets. They agree, and gave me a refund. Not sure whether you've left it too late though.

I take the opposite view. Playing Petracca and parking him in the forward line is almost the 'safe' option. Take the punt ... don't play Trac (his well being surely paramount) and play Dunstan instead. And otherwise be brave with selections .. JVR in, Bowey in ... Melksham/ANB out.

Me. West Coast & Port Power supporters are apparently as bad.

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

I tipped off a mate re not taking cr#p seats, try again and you may get better seats. He thanks me for that advice, got much better seats on the fourth attempt!!!! Ridiculous system.. surely the best seats should be available to those who log on first. The system simply allocates seats bay by bay .... so if you get offered bad seats,, don't take them. Keep trying until you get OK seats.

The filth crowd are diabolical. I went to the Pies/cats game, which was fantastic. However the constant calls of "ball" and booing did my head in. FFS!!

Hey dude, sorry to tell you but the ticketing system is totally f@@ked. I logged on at abou 9.05 am for MCC seats. Was allocated up the back of Level 4 like you. However I read somewhere that new batches of seats are released periodically. I thought I'm not taking those seats. Kept trying then timed out. I logged in again ... and got second row seats!!!

Kozzy should have got a brief run on the ball, at least at a centre bounce or 2 to mix it up a bit and/or get him into the game.

Don't you mean 'one week' ?

Hmm .... Can't see a huge crowd v Lions as being likely on the back of that performance. Low - mid 60s perhaps? FWIW I'll be there.

Wow ... what a disappointment. Other than a few that were ok, most of the team played very poorly. So many dropped marks/fumbles/missed targets. Credit to Sydney ... very disciplined side.

I'm about to have a slice of carrot cake, and a noice cuppa tea. Then a short pre match nap. (Yep, I'm letting loose!) I've got my thermals laid out, ready to head off in a few hours.

Where was the Dees' light training run this morning?

No it won't. The loser tonight gets a second chance. (Will play Brisbane.)

Mrs Hardwick must be delighted.

Thanks for the explanation. Much more helpful than the smart ar#e response of another poster.
