Rapt for the kids, hope they don't get overawed, hope they eat up the excitement and just be themselves.

Like when Dimma bleats about the poor treatment of his AFL Angel Cotchin, or how Dusty gets unfair physical attention from those opponents, you know those opponents he has to poke in the throat just to get a fair contest!
You really do take the cake LP!
I guess Vossy’s announcement that Hollands and Cowan will debut is just a smokescreen for the return of Walsh and Williams.
Anyway, we’ll see who was confused when the teams run out on Thursday.
And what’s Dimma got to do with AFL club websites? Is that another “look over there” moment?

Great news for the young lads. It was probably expected of Hollands but Cowan has really turned out to be an excellent pick up. Losing Zac Williams helped his cause but I suspect that he would have forced his way into the team.
Good luck to both young men for their first win in navy blue!
I guess that means Cincotta’s not in the 22.
It wouldn’t surprise me if O’Brien is in the 22. I guess it depends on whether we play Cerra as a winger.

I don’t bet on footy. I’m not even in a footy tipping comp and I don’t have a SuperCoach team. But I want to know about our opening game as much as possible. That’s what’s disappointing about the lack of news about it. In the past, there was an avalanche of detail about the teams and players leading into Rd 1, especially who is under an injury cloud and who isn’t. There’s more “celebrity footballer” stuff now, such as 2 players answering questions about who has the best haircut at the club or who has the weirdest laugh. But not so much hard footy news. There used to be previews of the upcoming matches. We’ll have to wait to see if that goes by the wayside too.

Like you, I don’t bet on footy, aren’t in a tipping comp and can’t be bothered with SuperCoach. I don’t fancy myself as a coach in waiting and I don’t buy LP’s misinterpretation of Sun Tzu or his comparison of AFL and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I just want timely and accurate information about our players, in all competitions.
We’ve probably got some whiz kid web manager who thinks that they know what supporters want.
I don’t mind the player interviews and mic’d up players/coaches at training, but that shouldn’t supplant good solid information about players, their form and their fitness.
The difference between the information provided by our website and those of other clubs is significant and it’s not good enough.

I couldn't care less about the info from the club, nor preseason form, which players have PBs lifting weights or running time trials. I just want the 23 that run out on Thurs night to give me a "W" because Im going and I can't remember the last time I saw one. I didn't go to any wins last year as I was too gun-shy early in the year then all I saw live was losses (call me superstitious).
I hoping to break the curse I seem to have on this club this Thurs night.
Bounce the darken ball
Go Blues.

Love the way the club let 'Dutchy & Moooo' know of their selection for Thursday night. Bravo club.
