Stop complaining, guys - it's not easy for any of us. I reckon I'll have to be out of bed by about 9.45 am or so to get there for the first bounce.

^^^ DTM, why don't you do what I do - I find it easier to walk to the ground that get public transport?

That's really a nice thing there Pies4shaw, inviting DTM to stay at your place the night before the games to save travel time.

I like to be helpful, where I can, stui. Travel advice is a thing I do well.

Suddenly a little bit worried for this game now... probably just the usual Carlton game nerves kicking in, but still...

I can believe that. I also bet you're very good at combining that with suggestions on sex.

Bat, will there be Mandarin updates for multicultural round? James Pi would be great for this:

No, there will not, as far as I know.

My only contribution to Multicultural Round might be for you to imagine my commentary as if it is being spoken by Kevin Conroy...

Bloody Long Walk to Melbourne from the Morington Pensulia

Well, this is embarrassing.

Due to an unexpected development on the homefront, I've had to abort mission at the last minute and cancel my plans to go to both games today. Which is a real bummer, because me and the gang were really looking forward to going today, watching an old-fashioned curtain-raiser and the main event...

I'll be posting this week's score updates courtesy of Collingwood Radio, although if the situation I alluded to develops any further, don't be surprised if I have to stop suddenly and drop everything completely...

Players moving into position.

Pies kicking to the Punt Road end...

Witts starting ruck. PK, Moloney and BenKen starting the middle. Seeds on the wing. White forward.

Top 4 spot on the line...
