My Foxtel TV guide says your are correct. Interesting that Channel 7's own social media got it wrong.

A complex character. On one hand he took his life from the penthouse to the ****ehouse .

Yet while he was at at Richmond he was a terrific support to a young man of my acquaintance who was suffering from severe mental problems  

Even the good of heart,  can go the wrong way in they're own life.

I am sure he is a good person.  simply struggling.

 

Same could be said of Gablett snr.

That's fantastic to hear BBO. Watching the show now. The show itself is all over the place (not Ben's fault) with no real narrative arc.....imo

Really?   (re Ablett)  I doubt that Alisha Horan's parents would agree with you.

Alicia Horan's parents would beg to differ.

GAS should feel ashamed for the rest of his life

Edit. Beat me to it bingers

I've written this before, how when I stayed at a motel in Mudgee I chatted with the manager. He was a W.A. lad, organising a local rugby match. I said, A W.A boy promoting rubgy. He replied, When in Mudgee you do Mudgee. He then said, Don't you worry, I'm an AFL man. My brother played full back in the first WA Premiership side. It was February, 2018, around the time Essendon was in the news. I mentioned it. He replied, Essendon got sprung. All clubs have a drug culture. He said it was rife at West Coast from Day one. He made mention of a certain player who apparently played in the side as well. He's still involved in the game at a high level, at, shall we say, a certain other club...

Are you suggesting one can take the pharmacist out of the ........... but not the pharmacy out of the ...........?

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 11th November 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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. Date of Birth: 10 January 1992 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 19 Career Total: 235 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 24 Melbourne Football Club: 9th Best & Fairest: 316 votes

    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. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    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. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.
