oh yissssssssss (dat mo tho)

 

[compact72]

Be nice if it was our home game...

 

[Substance]

Why don't the premiers get a home game in round 1 to unfurl the flag? We have to wait untill round 2, which kinda kills the hype.

 

[Ozil]

Cloke to kick 10, Buckley to be fired in a public ceremony after the game.

...out of a cannon, into the sun

 

[BallaratBulldog]

is this the annual game we have been requesting with the Pies or just Cloke build up one off?

 

[grassman75]

Wait? You mean we aren't playing some substandard interstate team in Round 1. Let me get up off the floor

Well we still got the substandard part...

For some reason I found this really amusing.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Where was this reported?

 

[AliPud]

Going early here: 10+ goal win to the Dogs!

 

[The Inbetweener]

Will be nice to bank 4 points early

I reckon it extends it. First game will be huge, and then the second game will be too.

Collingwood will be much stronger next year, they had a lot of injuries this year.

The AFL are run by a bunch of nangs....

 

[SCRAY72]

Be funny if Bevo leaves Cloke out of the side due to indifferent pre season form.

 

[Pugz89]

Where was this reported?

Hun

 

[SCRAY72]

What is the Dogs H&A attendance record? Is it about 68K?

That will be broken.

 

[X_box_X]

I know we got a crowd of 68k in the final round of 1998 v North, so you could be right there.

What is the Dogs H&A attendance record? Is it about 68K?

That will be broken.

68,447 against Richmond in Round 11 1974

 

[Freshwater]

What a great start to the year. Friday night blockbuster against the Pies, then I expect a home game at Etihad for the flag unfurling (I'd love the first home game to be also at the G) and then round 4 Good Friday that would also be great at the G.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Would be great in round 2 was a home game at Ethiad against........GWS

 

[TempleKelvington]

Be interesting to see how the pies go next year, they have some good kids, I'm not sure what's missing from them, perhaps injuries last year, but I feel more to it than that. Darcy Moore is a total gun and they need Reid fit. Wells adds something, Mayne also, but it feels a bit short term. Be an good game of footy I reckon, Cloke adds to the intrigue if he plays.

Cloke to kick 10, Buckley to be fired in a public ceremony after the game.

10... as in 1.4.10? Hopefully Tory teaches Travis how to kick straight
