1 red eye 1 blue eye

Chosen club this year I’m afraid to say, too many dodgy decisions to think otherwise.

3/4 crud 1/4 nearly won it!

The Fam and I were at the Carlton end at the final last year, horrendous, so many of them visibly shaking with aggression! There’s passion but that was something else.

Me and the Fam heading to the G shortly in good form with the Prelim and GF wins at Subiaco our most recent Finals 👍 Thinking the loss of Gus early unsettled us last week, expecting our defensive pressure to be dialled up considerably this week and will be too much for the Blues over 4 qtrs. Go Dees

Working on my IPad.

We look spent from midway through the third and that has been the trend in our losses, I’m really questioning our fitness.

Fritters batters the bananas?

Hooley Dooley jimmy crickets what a sublime team effort, back to our suffocating best and we expand out from that. Great win boys.

Been biting my finger nails hoping he’d get through and it’s happened, very happy.

Bayleys off the pack for me, my fist pump is at its most vigorous on that one. Clarrys a close second but for the opposite, an emotional welling up response. Tracks dribble a cigarette paper third for the gobsmacking WOW, that was right over the top of the centre mark on the goal line. Geez I’m loving these feelings 😁

Great to see the old boys up and about and enjoying the moment. Clint the Biz was awesome for us, does anyone else feel similarly chuffed seeing him with us? Does anyone know if he is popular down the hwy? He did only play 10 or 11 more games for us than the puddy cats.

I’m happy to go with the latter there daisy cos I’m disappointed to see him go.

Surprised by this, said on here after talking with him at the pre gf training session that Geelong had in the past come calling, but a move there was was probably “too big a one for his family to make” and that he was looking to “enjoy being around for the Clubs successes” Offer too good to refuse?

From my position in that pocket with the ball coming toward me, it looked like it was over the top of the post, even marginally behind it!

Agree Stiff Arm, we’ve traded ourselves into a sweet spot. Clubs will be excited by him but I see most if not all will be willing to risk it. MA will have been closely followed by the MFC and he knows the rule changes have seriously stifled our ability to recruit him. He’ll be happy to go to whoever drafts him of course but the fact he has been within our NGA and that we are the reigning Premiers who boast an elite Ruck division that will allow him to develop is the best case for him and us. If an interstate Club drafts him they’ll back themselves to integrate him but the ability to retain him will be an uncertainty too. Surely recruiters will be nervous spending a first round pick here. I see a Vic Club as his most likely suitor but do those with an early draft pick have the luxury to develop him? Having said all this, worst case is the 18th best player in the draft drops to us.
