The metric system is "woke" now?  :blink:

I had the same reaction.  The metric system came in in 1966.

Not sure where daisy has been for nearly 50 years...🤔 or he has an odd definition of 'woke'.

When I watched Kalani last year at Lavington for the under 15's national championships he was towering over his dad.

I was with a colleague and we estimated that he was already at 200cm tall.

Nope. Tmac is awful and Schache has been banging down the door. Although I don’t think he’ll play. Maybe next week against North. 

T Mac has runs on the board. Schache has 7 seasons of not performing at AFL level

Tmac has been average since about Round 12, 2021. Schache may not be the answer but he’s banging down the door, and with Tmac showing almost nothing. If you’re going to bring up the Eagles game, look who he was playing against.

Unfortunately TMac's good games are becoming fewer and further in-between don't like calling it out but that's where we are atm.

The rehab was working hard. All sprinting, like they were achieving, under distance and time restrictions. Salem, M.WhiteJ. Smith, Spargo and another VFL player. M. White and Salem continued to run laps. Spargo and J.Smith attended some drills. Smith's thumb still giving him some concern, as he attended to it a few times after marking.

First out on the field, 4 minutes  before the rest of the squad, was the backline (Petty not with them). It looks like they want to go well after last week's effort.

The drills started a bit low-key, and they were slightly off, iffy, clean handling and distribution. The second drill, they started finding their voice and skills improved. The third drill and they're humming,

They spilt into two groups, that both worked on ball movement from the backs, thoughtfully to mids and finding angles and passes to advantage into the forwards.

Finished the session with goal kicking.

Tracc and Lever looking very good.

Gawn started with some resistance work and joined in all the drills (ready to go). Did lots of work as a forward.

L.Bailey is looking very smooth when moving and kicking.

The effort and intensity was much higher than the other Captain runs I have seen.

Go Dees

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
