All ready for the outpouring of emotion ...

A Sunday afternoon game. I'll be there.

This game is on Saturday at 1805 at Carlton, another game under lights.
I honestly think we play better in the daytime.
Never mind, it is a home game and an opportunity for some players to regain form and fitness. Every game we get into them is a positive.

I read an article at the weekend that talked about modified version of lasagne, not something I'd really thought about outside of the regular type, maybe eggplant or spinach versions. But this was more about even more alternative type fillings such as lasagnes using meat bases like Goulash, Chilli Con Carne, Stroganov, etc., etc., even some fish based versions. There was even a vegetarian lasagne with a gnocchi type filling.

Products of lockdowns perhaps?

Last time Preuss killed us in the ruck, but we got the job done anyway. It would be nice to see how thing have changed with Pitto potentially back and Tom de Koning playing much better.
Mind you, GWS are also playing somewhat better.

This is a must win. 1310 start time at Marvel on a Sunday afternoon.

Another night game, another night I won't get to sleep until 0400 in the cold, dark morning. I never seem to be able to get to sleep after night games.

Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos:
[1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.

Hopefully we'll have guys to vote for.  )

Much better playing here than at Geelong. Weather forecast is not promising.

The Blues take on Geelong at home, in the daytime, no less! A 1435 starting time.
The team is still very much a work in progress, as a lot of good players are unavailable at the moment. But Pitto is back, which is a positive. It will be interesting to see how he meshes with Mirkov.
McGovern's return is also timely, as he provides that little big extra in defence; a strong, fast body who can take huge marks and has real depth in his kicking.
Ed Curnow should be on more time also this week: his time was managed last week and he still got 19 possessions.
Certainly not losing 3 or the four senior emergencies will give us a stronger line-up, but we need something in attack as much as anything. Neither Glass-McCasker nor Josh Cripps is taking the marks a key forward needs, let alone kicking goals. Both really need to lead more, to really get on their bikes. Hopefully Crocker is back, as he was seriously missed last week.

Saturday night game at the MCG, and we are on TV for a change.
