Joe boy sees things his way. Then we can read all the corrections. we all see things in our own perception great to have a basic analysis, even if I don’t agree ...often even.

Game day. Time to get a little expectant. The saints most times seem to have our measure. It has been a long time since I just expected to beat the saints. back as far as Moorabbin. Standing in the outer cheering when we scored and a little old lady kept hitting me on the head with her umbrella. It’s hard to forget. good luck to us all tonight,

In his very first game for the Saints, think i was 12, he overwhelmed a Mr Barassi and was quite disrespectful as I remember. And yes as he got older he played with a small towel in the back of his shorts, (again I think) and a couple of times an opposition player ripped it away . I do not think they did it twice. And both the saints and demon sides in the later years walked and played far taller with CD in the side. Very well respected, Go Dees

Comparing him to “junior “. Is a huge call. I do hope your correct. He had a really nice debut. Not over the top but at times he had an important presence. He popped up at crucial times. better than I thought he would go but then the FD always phone for my recommendations. good luck to JJ

Bummer about Harmes being out, watch the replay first 30 seconds of the first quarter, he got a pass from the certre scrum side stepped or went past an opponent heading for the edge of the square and goal, AND a free kick goes to the dockers behind him. I am not a Harmes fan but he got himself into some great positions, simillar to Spargo getting into the stream of football. Chandler needs to play somewhere, If Harmes is out then Viney comes in if he is fit enough Do not think there will be many other changes We won, rusty but we won, 4 points in the bank. Give those players another chance, But is not going to be a walk in the park.

6. May 5. Lever 4. Oliver 3 Spargo 2 Tmac 1. Harmes apologies to Gawn Tracca Langdon Kossy and Jordan great first game and Jackson. Livewire And Fritta very rusty. Couple of handballs needed to click and we would have bolted away. But we have no killer instinct. Hope that’s all spelt proper. Like my English.

Just watched the replay, knowing the result of course. Thought all played well, no obvious terrible games. They were all very rusty though. The backs were great. The mids played better around the ground than in the centre IMV . the forwards. Rusty but played well standouts May. Lever. Oliver Harmes Tmac . Spargo Gawn Very good first game Jordan , Langdon. Gunna be hard next week. Go Dees

If you are watching the saints game now. Get a load of how much Ratten is invested in his sides win. He actually gets a little excited. Wish our coach did !

Majak brother in law, north tragic was sceptical when I suggested that he would play a few games. His opinion if we need Majak we are in lots of trouble

Two thirds through a game less than 50 points to the leader Would expect a score of dogs 75 points pies 60 hope so anyway

I think that Chandler is unlucky, thought he showed more than Jordan against the dogs... still it’s the FD job,

3.30 Perth time is 6.30pm here so that lines up

But yes good luck to him indeed, I hope he does well

With all the hype about his training and then getting a game against the dogs. I was expecting one to watch during that game. Was a fair bit disappointed, expected he might get a game early in the season, but game 1 that we must win. The selectors are very brave,

Last half of the final quarter very important

Again good boy Omac

Seeing Scot from marketing with Richmond makes me want to barrack for Carlton

Good boy Omac

Cobwebs and class so yes they should win but the blue boys are having a good dip

Not sure I expect much on Saturday but if we show the endeavour of the blues this early I think we will win easily after the show 4 quarters I expect us to start slow then ru right over the top

Blue baggers playing well

For no real reason I picked these tigers bulldogs demons geelong hawks lions port giants sun now I usually get them more wrong than right. Apologies to Arthur C

DD36 thanks for all this, don’t get to listen to G and T, does Max get help from , the coach or other ex captains, or instructors who guide him through the early years of captaincy. Not many AFL players are rocket scientists indeed some are barely articulate. They can play great footy perhaps but that does not automatically lead to the responsibility of leading a group of players. I know personally I can barely lead a horse to water. Hope the club provides some sort of structure come on Demons. And happy equinox in a couple of days

Hope the club provides some sort of structure for him. Come on Demons only a couple more sleeps and happy equinox. Couple of days yet

Ditto. But I can’t get down, so it’s down to the local and I hope some other poor sod will be watching. So we can cheer or cry foul. Go you mighty Demons !!
