Where's old Binman and his PA at?

Haven't heard much from them about how our game-plan is shaping up for the prelim this week!

Early hols ?? 

FWIW, our banner from last week…

PASSIONATE AND POSSESSED

WE LOVE YOU, GUS & HIBBO

 

DEMONS AND DIAMONDS

HARDER THAN THE REST

WE SHINE UNDER PRESSURE

IT’S WHAT WE DO BEST

For mine, the best graphic we’d had all year.

Really Jimmy? This stuff makes you look like a child.

Good news everybody. We finally activated our sub.

A week has now past since the disaster that ended our year in 2023.

I can now sort of be sensible in what I write.

Those that are predicting our demise down the ladder in 2024 will be IMO sadly disappointed. We arrived at the end of this season with serious injuries to a number of our better players particularly KPF’s. We could still have won both games except for poor kicking for goal and some poor umpiring decisions. We also had serious long term injuries to players during the season e.g. Fritta and Clarrie. 
so I am buoyant about next season. However I will go to the grave wondering why we did not pick the Bun as the 23rd man and then not play the guy we had picked who is a forward. 

However we need to get at least another KPF who is ready to go in 2024, Tmac and Brown are at the end. Roo I will give one more season but I am not impressed, yes he is still young etc. but he too often gets we’re the ball ain’t as Jack would say. Doesn’t seem to have the ability to take a pack mark either. A useful player but no star IMO. Of course he might be improved if the ball was delivered better instead of the all too often bomb that helps defenders more than our forwards. 
Kossie had a poor year IMO and I don’t expect that to continue in 2024. 
Sadly we have returned to years past where the end of the season with only drafting etc as the only point of interest. Who know how the loss of our assistant coach will affect us.As for the AFL they have slipped to a point I didn’t think was possible. I have no interest in the next two weeks off to QLD for two weeks so I won’t have to endure the media [censored] if the worst should happen. 
Here is to the 2024 season!

And they came on with a Zimmer frame

The 2021 'team' would have beaten Carlton by 20+ points.  We have lost the ability to put teams away.

Ridiculously harsh on JVR. The kid is 20, playing his first season in the seniors. Had an OUTSTANDING year for someone who basically carried the load of our main target all year. Turn it up mate.
