Not going to any other games, only want to go to ours......

Very frustrating not having the tickets, my wife is disabled, it's been no mean feat getting her over here. Sh1t will be hitting fans if they don't come, it's been an expensive jaunt so far

And rest up brother, it's all you can do, but it is so important this thing is still killing people

Yeah, that all I can do. Stay in bed and away from others at back end of house for rest of the week.

FFS, even Auskickers would not start this early.
Reel it in.

At Melbourne Airport, plenty of Blues still flying out, good to see

Crows defenders:
Murray - 33 games - 194cm
Butts - 46 games - 198cm
Michalanney - 4 games - 190cm
Hinge - 25 games - 189cm
Doedee - 75 games - 187cm
Smith - 229 games - 189cm

Overall very inexperienced and hoping Charlie and Harry will be too much to handle.

Gee a lot of crows talk in the media you’d think they won the flag.

Love my little girl. Don’t know if you mad Melbournians realise how little following for the game up here in CQ. This family is an exception. Notably so.

Getting ready to go see my * supporting chiropractor (much needed). I am dressing appropriately in Blues merch, as I usually do on infrequent trips down town. Get dressed in something nice please H. “Daddy do I have to have a shower tonight or can I be “stinky”?” (Alternate days a thing on school holidays depending on activities)

Comes out in her Carlton polo, much to my delight. “What? You said I can be stinky so I don’t have to change before the game “(after bed time) Great reasoning little miss 6. Think she might get to stay up a little tonight for some munchies.

On the way to RADelaide, driving across. Left melb at 530 am this morning.. probably have a few jars before the game at pub before the game, any recommendations?

The Cathedral is right by the oval but may be absolutely pumping. Couple nice places in the Casino which is accessible if you're coming in via train, The Strathmore also close by as well and more of a pub vibe. Plenty around the place

 

[Stig O'Hara]

All the Dirty's are in the city of Churches but we are ticketless.....

Have been onto the AFLEO, daily was told yesterday that Ticketek was about to send them out in the 'next few hours'. Still nothing. Anyone else experiencing this or have I been scammed???

Plenty of Baggers here by the way.....

In the same boat.

Can see my tickets on line, can’t download them.

About to march over the Torrens & get things sorted.

Thanks,
I started feeling unwell later Monday night as in only aches and pains at that stage and a bit like a fever at first as could feel a bit hot so to me I was thinking I had a fever because no real issue with coughing or sneezing on Tuesday. Yesterday morning had a bit of a scratchy throat and sniffles so did a self test at home and came up positive but have not got much worse other than feeliing like my ears maybe a bit more blocked like when you got a bad head cold. So hoping a mild case is all it is. Nobody I was with on the Sunday at a family gathering has been sick so that is good to hear when I was on phone yesterday arvo to check up on a few of them too.

Oh, that's great! Super mild. Trust me. Good. Still, rest so it stays that way.

you heading over?

you heading over?

Unfortunately not, flying to Sydney for the day. Should be back to watch the game

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Based on that I think Cerra will play half-back, replacing Docherty. Kennedy into the midfield to replace Cerra. Walsh into the midfield to replace Curnow. Curnow into a defensive half forward role replacing Honey. Acres a straight swap for LOB

Voss likes to keep off radar....even if we serve them an efficient clinic today,which is due...Voss can move on,got some tough rounds ahead

 

[Accidental genius]

what happened to the team list aph stickied at the top of each page?

seems to be hijacked by a marcmurphy3 post....

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Really worried about Fogarty. Would have liked Plowman in or at least sub as insurance for all their small/mid fwds.

 

[Benaly28]

Not sure how we’re favs in this game.

Yeah agree. We currently have a bare 6 regular defenders in the side with doch being out injured.

Makes sense to have plow as sub...just in case.

we have a very solid team now with the inclusions of walsh, Kennedy and acres so most would expected us to win. Im feeling much more confident since the teams were announced.

Ollie Hollands, Acres and TDK just need to be more back half help this week to collectively cover for the loss of Doch.
Hollands already does it naturally anyway.
