Were you actually there last Sunday? ? not surethat Lever managed much?

6. Oliver 5. Petracca 4. Gawn (even though he cost us the match) 3. Jones 2. Jetta 1. Hogan

T.Mac as he showed us last year year how reliable he is at set shots! Viney’s passion, hardness and leadership is unarguable however he is co-captain and Jones has the same traits!

Viney and T.Mac ending up on the LTI list!

I suspect interchange will be Melksham, Tyson, Brayshaw and Frost (but Hannan is certainly unlucky to be squeezed out)! Considering Viney and T.Mac aren’t options it will get even harder to cull to 22 when they are.

Great for me as an East Melbourne resident. it will make my short stroll to and from the ground some much easier not having to wind between cars!

love the way Plough has described us as one of the "elite" organised teams in the AFL!

ANB and Viney won't play. Possibly Fritsch & Kent

I am not there [and frankly didn't know about it] however as an East Melbourne resident I was cursing about all the loud speaker announcements blaring out for the last few hours. Suddenly I heard "A Grand Old Flag" [1st verse only] sung with gusto. Now they can make as much noise as they like!

I think that we will beat the Cats and are an even chance to beat the Crows. The two games that have me slightly nervous are the Tigers and the Bombers, the latter because it is unknown how their massive recruitment of re-cycled players will transpire!

You should add Maxy to your “favourite players” before you ask him for a photo!

What are the scores (I aren’t watching)?

Supporting them over eight decades! ?

If Port had of had the selection before us they would also have selected (South Australian) Toumpas (leaving us with Wines) as that was clearly the ranking at that stage. Whilst we knew the type of player Wines was, I suspect we envisaged that Toumpas was destined to be Robbie Flower reincarnated and that we had pulled off a coup. Things don’t always turn out as scripted! ?

Good article in the Hun but the Age didn’t report anything.

Even eclipses pick 53 for brother Oscar. ?

Watts got two 10-pointers! I wouldn’t describe that as zero impact!

I see that Watts kicked two 10-pointers! Possible Port’s best player. Ce la vie! ?

Great effort for your eighth post! ? Ten minutes of viewing pleasure to gear us up for the first round! Shame that we didn’t pick up Eddie Betts as well! ?

Others or other’s?

I started a few decades before you Old Dee but at least I have been there for a few Premierships since the “Fuschias” ran out! ? Like you I am a Dee for life (but hoping to see another Premiership in my lifetime)!

If anyone, Richmond should rightly be the Tassie Tigers. (Then we could take over Punt Road oval which is in Melbourne not Richmond!) problem solved (for us)!

Possibly the player not listed above whose loss will be felt by Casey is their 2017 B&F, Jack Trengove! There are other contributing former Melbourne players such as Kennedy, Spencer and Hulett (with a few cameos from Watts)!

Give him a break! If he is not up to it, Goodwin will select someone else (as he did with Watts)! If Goodwin however feels Oscar is part of the preferred list, then maybe you and Deemania can petition the FD and advise them of your list of preferred players!

We win both our Alice Springs and Darwin games by comfortable margins making both venues our fortress!
