Dean Kent goes OK for a first year player too.

Well earned.

Gotta feel for him having dreamed of playing for the MFC and walking into this third world [censored] storm. But he seems as well equipped as anyone to help steer the way out. It is both an indictment on the club and a credit to him that a first year player can easily be in the club's top 3-4 players, not just in terms of potential but contribution on the field as well.

All those kids with number 4 on the back should be trading them in for a number 7. If there is any future to this club, he's it.

There is an article on the AFL site that puts together an All Austrslian u23 side. For a team that has attempted to rebuild through the draft with young players it is an tragedy that we did not have one player in there.

Hopefully this years crop will start to turn it around. Viney is unlike anything we drafted under BP.

It was lovely to wake up to hear the Viney rising star nomination on this morning's radio news! This is the start of a stellar career for Viney and I predict a Brownlow Medal will follow in five years, as Ablett's star fades!

This quote from Jack in that interview really stood out for me:

"As the year goes on you can go one of two ways. You can either sook about it and give up, or you keep fighting. For me it's an obvious answer."

I just wish it was such an "obvious answer" for many of your team mates Jack!

Jack just continues to impress, impossible not to love this guy.

Very well deserved nomination and well overdue.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
