Only one more day to go Redleg and all will be revealed. Mind you, there has been lots written about this and the ending has been known for sometime. And guess what, the good guys win!!

Oh, and apparently a couple of redheads have made news lately....

Edit: I'm referring to Harry Potter.....

I'm finding one of those redheads particularly taxing at the moment.

Think I should have used the bye better and watched some Harry Potter movies. Haven't seen one or read the books. Is there a pointy nosed, redheaded female, who is economical with the truth in them?

This is the best I could do for a "complete" match:

Dolores Umbridge

Dolores Jane Umbridge is the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, of which she is the primary antagonist. Her first name, relatively common in Spain, means "pains" in Spanish, and her last name is a play on the wordumbrage, meaning "a feeling of anger or annoyance". She is a short, squat woman described in the book as resembling a large pale toad, with "short, curly, mouse-brown hair". She speaks with a quiet, childish, high-pitched voice, and she loves kittens and other cute things, decorating her office with related paraphernalia. She has a tendency to speak to people she feels are her lessers in a very condescending tone, as if they are simpletons or very young children.

Sounds very much like Mark Jackson (except for the bit about being short). I'm 98% certain that GWS won't offer him a contract.

How about free membership for a year :)

I suppose it will have to by the sound of things. :lol:

True, I feel legitimate now.


I actually feel less tense posting in this thread...

So what is going on?

Davey a chance this week? Surely not?

Sounds like you've gotten over any inhibitions of pride you may have had. :lol:

Truth be told, I never bothered with the TS thread because I have NFI on the scenario and any possible pov

that could have been expressed was. I'm saving my energy for future draft discussions which will inevitably go off the rails

one way or another.

Expecting Jurrah to dominate this week just quietly.

I hope your posting here means you have sworn off that 'other thread'?

Never!

Eager to defend a kid.

Anyway, back on topic, Darwin is hot. Sweat much?

Gloves? Check.

Think Davey is a big chance to be our sub in "Brutus the Crocodile" land. We need to warn the players to be aware of midges and put the repellant on.

Redleg I am struggling with this

Why?

He has not played in weeks

Out with a leg injury which must mean his fitness will be down.

On top of that his form before the injury was poor.

If I was the player he replaced I would be more than a little [censored].

I would even prefer JB before him at least he would be fit.

Just a hunch. Depends of course if he is fit. He is a Darwin boy. He can play as a sub and then, when on, play forward which won't require much running, but he could be dangerous around goals. He may give LJ a lift. Playing at Casey in these conditions may not help him and if he plays poorly, does he miss 3 more games as Casey then has a bye and he would need at least a good Casey game if he plays with them. He is a leader and can do some leading by being with the group and part of the team. He will have many people at the ground supporting him and he may lift for the occasion, given he played poorly in the indigenous round. Lastly the Coach hinted that he might play.

absolutely

and i think rpfc is trying to have his cake and eat it too

this thread should be a haven....and untainted

i can see your logic here redleg

i wouldn't be disappointed to see aaron get a run (if fit enough)

he's too good a player not to be given a chance and he might have been carrying an injury earlier in the year

he's one of the few genuine game breakers we have and saturday's conditions should suit him fine

I think the poor guy is addicted to that thread.

Try as he might he cannot kick it!

I know how he feels I have a similar problem with single malt.

but I am not really trying to kick that one!

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
