[Bumpswithagrin]

Quite a few Dees fans on the tram - they're coming out of the woodwork!

Hale was an early-late out.

Ahh, I see that was announced yesterday. So it's not showing up as a late change on the AFL website. I was a little confused for minute there. Okay. Ready for the game now.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Hale is in for Big Boy as well according to the AFL site. Quite happy with that.

Actually just the app that is saying this, desktop site says the only late change is Smith out.

That change happened yesterday.

Litherland, best on. You heard it here first.

Big call there,nice if he does but

Want to see Sizzle stand up & make a statement today....IT'S the ideal day for him to produce something 'Special'!

Prefer he reinvest those dividends into a truly amazing game next week.

Great to see Simpkin finally get his chance today for season 2015. He's a great depth player who does his job in the side when called upon.

Disposal efficiency is that stat I'll be interested in today. I want to see our decision making with the ball lift.

That and the real endpoint stats:
I50 efficiency %
Goal kicking %

I want at least every second inside 50 to be a score and about 70%+ of those scores to be goals. That's at minimum.

 

[moginie]

Those chicken schnitzel burgers are nice. Recommended by me.

Yeah, but if the beer is no good it's a real downer.

Where do you see him today? He's played less time in the middle in the last few weeks. To me, his best stuff comes from playing mid.

I know he's being (well) managed, but, like you, I want to see him put his authoritative stamp on the game today.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Had two. Both terrible. That's it until home.

HALF FORWARD

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Hmm, place is crawling with Melbourne supporters, seems it's a replacement game for them. Not able to sit in my usual place so up in the nose bleeds, not happy, hopefully the Hawks will cheer me up soon

Life is too short for shit beer, mate.

HALF FORWARD

How much time in the middle?

 

[Procrastinator35]

The sad fact is that we can't afford to be looking any further ahead than today.

 

[moginie]

How much time in the middle?

Rioli started in the square. I like this.

Awful kick by Roughy.

 

[savagelunchbox]

My boy, Brad Hill. Urgh.

 

[Procrastinator35]

How much time in the middle?

NO MORE THAN 2 BURSTS PER QUARTER SURELY....SAME WITH SILK.

 

[Cleavy]

urgh, slow start!

 

[Off The Couch]

How bad was that from ruff

 

[Flamin Joe]

Good to see we learnt from last week.

 

[MadDawg]

Here we go again, takes a while for fire to ignite in the belly of too many of our players this season.

 

[Off The Couch]

Here we go shoe

Hands over eyes
