Way too early to be worried about it. I’ll take it as a compliment to the recruiting and development of our youngsters.

Main session today, anyone performing stealth mode at Casey?

Jeez Mason, did you forget what happened last September?

Webster is [censored] . Minimum a month holiday

McVee is my guess. Little Papa might run through the middle as well.

The above is the first bit of footage I’ve seen from that game since walking out of the G that night.

He went at 100% efficiency last night. Was always reliable with ball in hand and he won his fair share of one-on-ones. Hope he does well at Freo.

I reckon that will tumble in by the bounce.

Keen to hear about the progress of Spargo, McAdam and Petty if they’re out there.

Bomberblitz is good for at least one laugh when the Dons are playing. Not fussed it’s only a praccy match.

Mad Monday mishap

Montagna has stuck with us the whole summer. Has always said we will be there when the whips are cracking. Loved how he threw in the bit about us spending only 2 weeks out of the Top 4 the last three seasons. Just to remind everyone about our consistency.

2nd ruck was probably Fullarton’s until he hurt his hammy. Was having a very good preseason up to that point from all reports. Will one VFL game be enough to consider him for the Swans ahead of Schache?

If we can get games like that out of Sparrow this season we’re laughing. Lots to like tonight, we will miss Kozzie next week, but others need to step up in his absence.

It's hot already.

No sorry, Stewart is not by far the best defender in the comp. May was ranked No.1 among the league's top 50 players for one-on-ones defended last season. Here's a key stat for you, May has lost only 13% of his defensive one-on-ones in the last two seasons, 23 out of 173. May proved what a champion defender he is in the finals last year. Butter fingers? What an insult!

Their ball movement is very slick early.

Max said Clarrie will play in the VFL game on Wednesday. What do we think?

From what I’ve read it was Gus and his medical team that made the decision, not the AFL. This is from an ESPN article. Shortly after Brayshaw's announcement, AFL executive general manager, Laura Kane, released a statement commending the Demon on his decision. "The AFL supports the decision by Angus Brayshaw to retire from the game today," Kane's statement read. "Angus' health and wellbeing is of the upmost importance and his decision, made in consultation with his medical team, is one more courageous act that Angus consistently demonstrated throughout his decorated career." https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/39571857/afl-melbourne-demons-midfielder-angus-brayshaw-announces-retirement

I’m gonna break into the G the night before the game.

A standing ovation at the 10 minute mark sounds good WCW. Maybe we can all light a cigar at the same time like Gus did in the middle of Optus. They won’t be able to kick all of us out for smoking.

That does not look good for Pal Peppa. I think he has ample time to stay put rather than go in.

Anything today?

Jumping on Bomberblitz might cheer us up a bit.
