Was Oliver snubbed again?

I guess I'll put this one here.

A new skipper for 2020. ✨ Max Gawn will lead the club this season, supported by Jack Viney as vice-captain. ?: mfcde.es/2uocs5U

Looks like the announcement will be made at 12:40pm

In hindsight yes. They finished the H & A in second and had the coveted home advantage. I was being a little facetious protecting the honour of our club.

"Our players are very aware of it, we've had a few discussions about it...” Chris Fagan How the Lions are trying to avoid 'doing a Melbourne'

Loved the bit where they were getting around Kozzie to motivate him to finish. Team Building.

Premiere in 15 minutes at 7:00pm

Fitter, faster Petracca closes in on new deal with Melbourne

I've added Jones to the list with his Shin Corkie, Bayley Fritsch with his Knee Infection and Joel Smith goes back on the list after coming off it when named in the team but then not playing even though a spot opened up with Fritsch's omission. Wagner and Jordon who played the day before were suited up on the bench as emergencies so Smith goes back on the list until he is available to play.

“This is the best I’ve felt in three or four years, so if we can keep the momentum going we should be good.” Aaron vandenBerg made a successful return to footy yesterday afternoon. ? ?: vandenBerg feeling fit after long-awaited return
