Everyone lifts when they play Collingwood.

 

[Harry O]

If we are only winning by 16 points against north who lost to the dees by 70 then

North always play 5 times better against us than any other club. Bookmark it that they will bounce back this week

If pre season games mean anything Jen then hand the flag to the blues as they’ve just beaten the two Grand finalists

Good preseason form usually means the wooden spoon for the Blues. Being it on!

Weather at Mars looking to be warm muggy sticky.
May get a light sprinkle but mostly sticky cloudy conditions.
Nice light shirt shorts type of day.
Sticky and uncomfortable weather.
Keep a bit cool at Mars.
Sticky weekend this one.

 

[The Phantom]

I’ve got two spare reserve seats all of sudden.
Not adjacent, but near each other.
BillyElliott gets first dibs then whoever else.
They cost me $10ea online including booking fees. Going at face value.
DM me.

 

[timokane]

Mars looks like in the industrial area there in ballarat.

Big shopping centres as well.

Looks like factories shopping is there.

Busy area as well most heavy traffic in around Mars in terms of ballarat.

Got a bus that somehow connects to the train station.

Bit out of town tho.

One of the biggest suburbs there as well.

In Melbourne kind of like a Keysborough Dandenong type of area

Thanks so much for thinking of me

I have work on Sunday, so can't go anyway.

I’ll take any sort of win without fresh injuries tbh. 2 practice match losses before the start of the season wouldn’t be great for the confidence. Especially mine

I remember when we played them a couple of pre seasons ago and they beat is. They already had booked their GF tickets.

Hoping to see the kids get a good run again, hopefully tighten up on our structure a bit

 

[legendstatus]

I couldn’t care more less about a result of a Pies game- we have enough key players to miss Saints as it is. So no injuries please

Be nice for once to do something like Training and not get an Injury

Nah. Practice matches are a delusion. Fear not if we lose. And think about the key word…’practice’.

I think that you mentioned that it might be sticky once. But you might have gotten away with it.....
