At Least I Saw a Flag

My ladyfriend (also a Dees' supporter) is bringing round quiche to enjoy during the match. I'll be putting together a simple salad. No cheese platter though. Too fattening. I bought tea cake for afternoon tea. As for beverages, I have beer. But was more thinking of a light red, such as temporanillo or pinot noir. And, like other posters, I'm suffering from MFCSS. FFS Dees, get off to a good start!!!

Agree with previous posters re Neale ... and Credlin.

It clearly wasn't. I wouldn't want to buy real estate from those umpires!!

Yeah, but 6-6-6 wasn't a rule when Hawks were winning flags.

Can't stand that object. He is apparently on Channel 7's payroll. He gets asked to comment on various issues, and is often on that station's news. If ever I am watching Channel 7's news (which I rarely do) and his ugly head appears, I have to switch off or chance the channel.

Why don't the commentators call out throws? Are they directed to turn a blind eye to this, or are they just stupid? (Or both?)

lol .... I spoke too soon.

Frostie has actually done pretty well on Franklin.

Deep Purple are one of my favourable bands. Machine Head is IMHO one of the best albums of all time. Favourite songs: Hush Highway Star Lazy Never before (very underrated) Space Trucking My Woman from Tokyo Speed King Strange Kind of Woman Burn You Fool No One Getting Tighter Might Just Take Your Life Stormbringer

Socceroos v Chinese Taipei. World Cup Qualifier. Socceroos won 5 - 1. Terrible match. Like watching the U14s playing the U12s.

Hibbert's playing great footy. Hopefully gets a premiership medallion. Need to think about his successor though ... he's 31. If he plays on, he'd probably only have one more season in him.

Most assistant coaches have a clause in their contracts to the effect that they can leave if they secure a senior coaching position elsewehere. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case with Mitchell.

Did anyone else notice that when Ryan (WC) kicked one of his goals v. Carlton one of his teammates kissed him. (Could have been Jermain Jones?) No biggie, just kinda funny.

Dermie is an absolute moron. Nothing more pathetic than a meathead trying to sound intelligent. As for him trying to look young ... At least Billy doesn't try to be anything other than his true self. Had a conversation with him years ago outside the G. What you see is what you get. Jones ... dreadful ... and stupid.

Nah .... he'd more likely suggest relocating to Mars. He has always had an affinity with Martians.

Having a tattoo of Bart Simpson kinda sums him up.

Lobb has obviously been taking marking lessons from Weiderman ....

Wow, kicking 6 goals with a broken leg is an awesome effort !!!! ??

FWIW the "best team" doesn't always win the flag. Since 2014, the minor premier hasn't won the flag. I guess it's the team that best plays finals football, or gets on a roll. That's why Richmond are always a real concern.

2021 side way better than those others

Yes

I hate Hardwick so much.

Chol playing really well. I wonder if Vlastuin and Short will congratulate him in their special way ??

Stating the obvious, but he drops too many marks, and missed gettable shots for goal. I remember that Hawkins was similar in his first few seasons. A real whipping boy. But he turned it round after a few seasons. I was hopeful that Sam could do the same thing, but it just hasn't happened. Cameron Mooney likened Sam to Hawkins and Nathan Ablett, i.e. has has been doing his job.
