Now folks will see my post above and think how random a comment that is. It made sense until you changed not only the thread title but the content as well. Cheers for that! 😆

Sincere thanks for all the reports over the year and for what’s to come I’m sure from you all in 22. It’s a huge amount of work, and Picket and all the training correspondents I’m sure do feel a responsibility to file that report each week.

Honestly, its greatly appreciated and thank you, and have a wonderfull break 

And sharpen your pencils and charge your camera batteries!

Looking forward to next year

Which came first soccer or rugby?
 
 
Indeed, both association and rugby football stemmed from the many folk and country games that had been played for centuries, and were even referred to as 'football' in documents from as far back as the 13th century. But in terms of when an official set of rules were established, rugby came first.

Whats older soccer or rugby?
 
 
Rugby is much older than football, going back to the Romans, over 2,000 years ago. Back then the game was called harpastum, meaning “seize” in Greek. During England's Tudor era of royalty, the game was considered a “devilish pastime” and forbidden due to fatalities and injuries.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
