Gastro? We should postpone the game just to pizz Chris Scott off.

Around the Grounds for anyone remotely interested in the trial matches and it’s quarter-time at the Hangar. Essendon 1.5-11 Bulldogs 2.4-16 Both teams close to full strength.

Judging by how Melbourne traffic has returned to nightmare levels I predict 81,116. I have a feeling the attendance will surprise a few.

Game Film | It’s Coming Home has copped a hammering too in this house. It’s a better pick-me-up than a couple of espressos if you have ten minutes spare.

💪 What a win, Well done Ladies.

This game should be just about done but I think we’re still a slight chance. Big turnaround needed, we should just take the game on from here. The only time we looked dangerous is when we just ran like West did and Bannan took off straight after a mark for her goal. Hopefully we can get a couple early in the second half and put them under pressure. Make the Lions rue their missed opportunities.

They’re making us look extremely slow.

Thanks for explaining @Demonland, was about to google hyperice. We’ve come a long way since the days of frozen pea bags resting on joints.

Best Bet Saturday Flemington Race 3 Number 5 Yonce $2.70 W. In regards to the Black Caviar, Home Affairs won brilliantly at its only start at Flem during the spring. Never raced under 1100m before, don’t think that will be an issue. I’m finding it a tricky race to be honest. $2.60 for Nature Strip screams throw me in a multi. Eduardo seems to be getting better with age and as mentioned Masked Crusader could enjoy the open space. Good luck fellas.

The Wiz.

Interesting to see what they do. If Tomlinson isn’t quite ready J Smith is the other option to play early. They might also stick with just May and Lever with Hunt coming back in. Hopefully Petty only misses the first couple of rounds, feels a little weird not to panic with news like this on the eve of the season.

If Luke Breust has rated elite as a general defender I wonder how he rated as a forward.

Well done @Gorgoroth….what a last 5 months or so for your teams. Enjoy it mate!

Sorry fellas missed this week, I’ll contribute a best next week. Very interested in a couple of Sydney races today, really keen to see how good Espiona is and one of my favs in It’s Me resuming after a serious leg injury. Good luck today.

Round 23 still hurting I see…Ouch!

Training pics show Blue 8.10 to Red 3.7. Make them train another 3.5 hours as punishment for inaccuracy. Round 1 will be here before we know it, it’s getting real now.

Ha, for a minute there I thought we gave number 4 to someone new. Mean haircut Harmesy.

It was definitely a major setback for him Its Time. There was discussion somewhere that Weid played with sore hips in 2020 you’re right there, I just can’t remember if he did have hip surgery post 2020.

In regards to Weid I don’t believe this is correct. From memory the club discovered a femur issue with Weid mid Feb 2021 and up to that point he was having a really solid pre-season from all reports. The conversation back then was how unfortunate the timing of the injury was.

That was a gift Macca and all Tartt did was return it to sender. My son and I couldn’t believe it when he dropped it but these things often happen in big games, there’s always something to talk about. All the best in the big one Gorg, been on holidays the last couple of weeks and as a neutral with the tipping comp here as the only vested interest I’ve been very lucky to witness half a dozen cracking games.

Costly drop by Tartt for an easy interception at 17-14 in the 4th. That will sting for a while. Two great games again.

Me too layz….making a wide run before the final bend. Bengals 27 at Chiefs 17 49ers 24 at Rams 13

I think the one embarrassment we will struggle with from now on is beating West Coast in a lightning interfered match.
