Cue Adem Yze is going to leave thread

They just need to follow the white line (should be a doddle for them)

If Essendon can play there, then why can't Carlton, Collingwood and Hawthorn (especially Hawthorn). The games revenue is made mostly from TV rights anyway. So time to move some of the other "Blockbuster" games

Must be practise from you being " the man on the Telly"

I actually have a skill (maybe even a super power), that I can have the sound on and mentally tune out the commentary until the good Melbourne bits....also helps if your a bit deaf like me. And speaking of "what gets on my goat". The term "territory" JB's favourite go to annoys the carp out of me.

We won a premiership doing just that

When we good, I mean really mouth watering good in the past, our strength was how many players we would get to the contest, tonight we seemed outnumbered in so many occassions. I believe tyhe game plan has changed so dramatically that, the gettting numbers to the contest is no longer a priority.

Anybody looking forward to Brisbane next week?

I bet they sub Woey

A few players down at half time, Petracca, Salem, to name a couple, but rapt in Woey jnr, JJ, Sparrow and Viney

He'll never keep up with him, Lyon's gotta be 60 or so

Joel Smith the sub.....That's really interesting

You know it wasnt a day for swaps and changes and trying things. It was a day to play hard good wet weather footy and we didnt play basic footy that you might see in the amo's or the VFA.

I am assuming you watched this from your lounge room and not in the freezing cold at thegame: Gawn - too old too slow Grundy - Cameo at best Viney - an Herculean effort May- great all game Lever - steady and effective Rivers Underated best player Brayshaw - Drop him now Neal-Bullen - Better live than on TV Bowey - only true thinker Sparrow - tough but limited Hunter - makes dumb decisions Langdon - Drop now !! McVee - not the worst Brown - conditions didn’t suit Harmes - Never play again Chandler - Drop now !! Pickett - Drop now !! Petracca - an enigma ?? Petty - Not the worst Smith - continues to contest (not sure what more you want ) Salem - again not the worst Melksham- Past his prime

I have taken my time post this, just walked back from the ground. And so p%%%sed off is an understatement. To play a game and dominate as much as we did and then lose means some changes need to be made. I wa s watching at the ground, all the endeavour is there but the connection is not, little dinky up in the air passes need to be banned. Players to be dropped: Langford, Chandler, Kossie, Harmes, Brayshaw. It seems the talls (forward) i.e Smith, Brown etc needs to be given some dry game time

I saw him up here in Alice yesterday

Has @WalkingCivilWar made the trip? Saw some Demon Army people there at the ground yesterday.

I'm Rapt with the Ange appointment, and so good to see Spurs getting some Australian press. Sick of seeing Man U, Liverpool and Ars....(I can't bring myself to type it), in the news all the time.

Standing and watching the captains run yesterday in the cold, has added another meaning to the phrase dedicated supporter. I can attest that the sausages were hot cheerfully served and plentiful. I shall be leaving the unit to trudge the 300m to the ground looking like a red and blue Michellin Man, and join other supporters on the hill (at the Grange tent...I hope). Of all the players kicking the ball around yesterday, Bowey impressed me the most, his bullet passes just dont miss.

I actually checked this morning as I drove over the Stott St Bridge......No water in the Todd

Territory day, is interesting. I see the local shops are selling fireworks only on the Saturday for the festivities.

For any intrepid travellers going up to Alice for the game. I have it on good authority (MFC in Alice Springs shopping centre) that Captains run will be at 3:30 Saturday.

Club stated the AFL deal is a different event. And noted that the drink package included wines from our sponser Penfolds ( a couple of granges might ease the tension) anyhow get bitten once and you learn

Heading up to Alice tomorrow, we had booked 2 nights at Ross River Resort but a phone call from them yesterday advised against coming due to the rapid rise of the Ross River quote "you may get in but you may not get out". So 5 nights in Alice pre game. Also we booked tickets on the Hill from the club for $249 a throw, and was disappointed to see that the AFL are advertising the same tickets for $180. not sure if the club is adding the extra $70 as a fund raiser. But have asked the club to explain the difference.

Doesn't matter how much you polish a Hawthorn jumper it still looks l🙈
