@act-crusader yep that's it

Lol.at Geelong. Flogs.
Love that Dangerfield will never win a flag.

Any punters in CHCH who might want to help form a crowd for the Granny in two weeks' time? I've got a couple of mates who'll be keen mainly because it's a grog up at a pub, and probably my old boy. I might book some space somewhere with a screen I know will show it.
I can see a bit of an issue already in that it'll possibly clash with the All Blacks' first test against SA. I've seen two wildly different kick off times just now when googling. One says it's on at 4.30pm NZT and another says 7.15pm AEST which is either 9.15 or 10.15 here as I can't recall when daylight savings starts.

@shark I'm sure it's 5.15 Perth time which I think will be 9.15 there

@shark yep, ABs v Boks first and then Dees v Bulldogs

Some eerily similarities to last nights game.
Dogs and Dees GF. All-Melbourne affair in Perth

The two qualifying performances make for a really interesting comparison. Hard to know what to take from them. The Dees were at least as dominant, if not more so than the Dogs but Friday's result is now tainted by the Geelong virus story. It's possible that the Cats haven't done us any favours in serving up what in some ways was a training run, while the Dogs put up a similar margin against a full strength Port. I'd certainly feel better about it if the virus story hadn't emerged. But never mind. Both sides now have two weeks to prepare for the Granny, will re-set and start on an equal footing. Can't fucking wait.

That was one helluva Brownlow ceremony. What a race. Some of the contenders benefitted from being stand outs in poor sides but were still worthy. For the Dees I think we ended up with three with 20 or more votes so it's the opposite. Outside of Gawn, Petracca and Oliver from memory I think McDonald, Jackson, Fritsch and Lever also polled.
The round recaps get a bit monotonous as the narratives are remarkably similar from segment to segment. And none of the WAGS had great tits. But aside from that, a great watch.

@shark the Brownlow is a farce. Takes too fucking long. Midfielders who get heaps of it, no matter what they do with it, poll every single game. Narratives develop, and you can see the anomalies.
@mariner4life agree re midfielders. A bit like QBs winning the MVP and league halves being by far the most prominent players. It is what it is
-
No changes to the Dees. Anyone else feel like this is going to come down to big Maxy vs the Bont?

i reckon it's May and Lever just killing Bulldogs 50m entry play after play. Then hitting Oliver or Petracca out of defense, and away we go.
Bulldogs need manic pressure and a lot of sneaky handballs, but even for all of that, they need to score, and that's where those two very good defenders come in.

I'm throwing my support behind the Dees @shark
In the context of covid, I'd like nothing more than a Western Australian team to lose in front of a Western Australian crowd.

yeah me too with the Dees
The Eagles getting horsewhipped in a GF in Perth would have been fucking hilarious. Especially if it was by a Sydney team
