Mmmm....not sure??

He was late on set so they sent a search party to his house in Fitzroy .

They found the house a mess and Frank tied and gagged out the back(naked)

After they removed the gag that was his first comment.

I'm not certain whether I'm drinking too much or not enough. Maybe I'm just too old. Please humour me and explain.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there.

Maybe our club should adopt the second one as their creed -- there is not a lot of desire or vision around at the moment, but sometimes a bit of dreaming though at inappropriate moments like when the ball is heading your way or when the opponent has the ball!

I think those that bleat about our lack of development should take note.

Our problem is recruiting.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
