Oh well, Covid sucks, as the lads from Monty Python say always look on the bright side of life. I save a 6 hour drive, If its on its only 5 minutes to the pub, bugger it wont be open either

Yes its the correct spelling for the original Parish name

yes either no one watching or no game bummer

Got my tickets this afternoon, all worked well. I had my codes copied in and went straight to Ticketek and sports etc went so much easier than the other week.

Swans did us a good one can I bring myself to cheer on the filth ?

I also thought the above i am not a fan but AnB bobbed up just enough, Hunt also, Harmes Spargo and Rivers and Gus is so reliable (usually)

Well after that game we are serious, did not expect that, we controlled the game at least 80%, great performance. It might be time to believe...... and when I watch I twitch and jump and brace for all the bumps, the dog hates TV, me and football.

Now I did notice the gloom, just thought it was my eyes and was blaming the surgeon for using Chinese plastic cataracts. It wAs all blurred.either my tears or my lenses the demon drink had nothing to do with it , still getting over it another game we came unprepared,

I would love that to happen....

No panic but get the side settled for the finals, and rested perhaps, or refreshed. I also did a ladder through to round 23 taking what I thought was worst case for the Dees. Had us winning 3/7, Bulldogs 5/7, Brisbane 7/7, Port Adel 6/7, Cats 6/7, Swans 7/7, West coast4/7, GWS 5/7, Tigers 4/7, Freo 2/7, and saints 1/7. ladder Brisbane 72 Bulldogs 68 percentage Port Adel 687 Geelong 68 Swans 64 Demons 60 GWS 50 West C 48 9th Tigers 44 Freo 36 and saints 32 But remember , I am a lousy tipster get a lot wrong. Hell I thought we needed a target in the goal square in the last quarter, let alone the rest of the game.

6: lever to my mind daylight 5: salem 4 may more daylight 3: fritsch 2: gawn 1: rivers

Well at least we are not as bad as west coast

First game live for 22 months , I think. There was no enthusiasm on the field or in the crowd, it felt flat like a sh it carters hat from the old days. We will not go far from here with this structure, 3 bottom sides have us worked out, a decent top 4 side will destroy our little remaining confidence. Port should beat us over in Adelaide. We might be fifth on the ladder. Our backline played OK , Lever and Salem I thought were really good. But our forward structure did not work. A bullet pass from Tmac to Fritta was a thing of beauty but a once only. In the midfield there seemed no cohesion, GWS on three occasions took the ball like it was a Wednesday training run and passed to players on their own, handball couple of kicks .....goal. And our players were watching the game like the rest of us spectators. The last quarter was interesting, if only we had that from the start. My sweetheart, who I dragged along, part through the second, said she felt like a pies supporter and wanted to go home. I bring my darling so she can yell for me, and I keep my mouth closed, otherwise I would sit by myself with everyone moved and then not be able to speak for 4 days. Apart from that pass from Tmac there was no TARGET up forward. Even the Weid playing poorly would have been that target. If only he could kick goals. 2 a game would almost do. MFCSS has reared its head in me and I am not hopeful for the rest of the year. I can see us doing a North Melbourne run or ours from 1965. It was a very poor game.

just my thoughts, GWS were much better than us for the first three quarters, we finally played with a bit of spirit in the last but it was far too late. They deserved their win despite that umpire in front of me in the last making three errors in a row inside our F50. and despite of us not having a target to kick to in that last quarter, but for those wondering why the media do not take our efforts seriously watch this game again. Thought we only had 2 reasonable players, very disappointed, We did not come to play.

Well that was worth the three hour drive down here and now the three hour drive home !

3 goals a half. Good footy !!

Predictable rubbish down the flanks every flaming time kick it

[censored] our game. No atmosphere at all

It’s a pity both sides cannot lose Geelong far too old, and Essendrugs not good enough, to justify being in the top 4

Easy answers hard question perhaps, If BBB is going to play finals, he must come in to get a run or three under his belt and see how see play with that structure. If he is not to play then no need to change make it Mitch instead, no idea.

Not sure I would take anything on here as serious, its mostly BS apart from some football souls that actually have an insight into the game and make my comments to others outside of here sound as if I understand the game. Go Dees and Bitter has an interesting take on life and sense of humour, otherwise he would need a new house maid every other week.

Now, again thanks for the encouragement, I can only think the problems were Ticketek having too many purchasers. at times there was no delay, others 5 seconds and some 10 seconds, even so it was the 10 second delay that got me right through. 1/ I used different platforms , all had problems, in the end my PC worked. 2/ I tried about 15 times in the afternoon and perhaps 10 after dinner and reading the posts on here, at differing times, 3/ there were no places to put the codes, and sometimes no General Reserved button 4/ Then there were no tickets at $0 but $27 and $54 at times x 2 thats a bit exxy no beer or pie money then. 5/ On the 5 occassions it took the $0 and I got through to payment "something unexpected happened, go back" WTF ! 6/ In the end I took what I got and did not change it for position, too scared I would get one or more of the above. 7/ thanks again and keep persisting , like the rain this saturday. Lets win this one Go Dees

Thanks to you all for support and advice. So I have tried again on the PC about 10 times each time a little different but it was working on the PC got to payment for 2 tickets 3 times and it crashed, at least 4 other times only if I purchased the tickets. But one time I got all the way and it did not crash Woo Hoo i have 2 ticks. But this is going to be god orfull when we are looking to purchase Grand Final Tickets. Obviously I am good on computers !! Now we only have to win Go Dees
