Facing Dunks and his merry band

Let’s take down the premiers Tooth & Nail

Fixture

The Cyclone Match will go ahead this year and be incorporated into our very first Nepo Baby Round.

A forthright Andrew Dillon said it's about time we called Opening round for what it really is!!!
He thanked the Northern Footy states and St kilda for being our hosts and was heard to whisper " I am sure they will do Daddy proud."

Banner

Bulldog strong Bulldog strive
Drown the premiers of 25

Foolish Lachie sharing his tool(s)
He can't outplay cyclone jules

Darcy up forward is ok
Ten goal avalanche coming his way.

Headline

Darcy kickin does the talkin

In an interview after the game darcy said " In the cyclone match it was all about stayin alive, stayin alive ah ha ha ha.

He went on to say " well now I get low and I get high and if I can't either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancing man and I just can't lose ".

Yep Fossie I think the footy season needs to begin .

Whoohoo we get to win in 'opening round'
Versus the Brions at their home ground
Though making the final 8 has been a snag
With the 10 and a challenge, the flag is in the bag

 

[worbod]

A late banner entry, "inspired" by the AFL's stupidity in persisting with the name "Opening Round". Also, a lion reference from the past I hope you all like.


It's definitely Round One: the AFL can't count;
We're up here to beat Brisbane by a large amount.
A new year is the time to show the league where we should be.
Let's play against the Lions as though we are born free.
