Circle work. That was my strong suit.

Spoiler alert - he couldn't.

Geelong v Essendon at the 'G has been a 'Farmers game' or something like that for a few years. Cats don't play Dons at the "G this year (Pork Barrel Park only). Maybe the Cats plan to make round 20 the Farmers game given that there's limited space around their stadium.

Yep, I'm on board. We'll be the first team to win the flag from 10th spot.

Geez Ghosty, between CJ and Kingy there's a fair bit of 'swiping right' going on!

Our mascot is doing a pre-season?

A bloke I know sat next to a very close associate of Clarry yesterday (Cup function). May be a player manager. Said the Dees had done the right thing. CO very bad for the culture, took up far too much time and resources, doesn't listen to anyone, and does what he wants.

Don't forget we are paying Gus until the end of 2028.

Exactly. Would we have taken Billy Stretch, Kynan Brown and Taj Woewodin had they not been F/S? How did that work out?

Cold showers only (doesn't want to fog up the mirror)?

That's a big rap on Sharp.

Claz stays. Tracc - yeah ... nah.

And next on stage we have Kahlani White who'll be singing "What about me?"

The mail is that poster employed a ghostwriter some time ago.

I also have this membership and feel it's good value. Around $800 per year and I pay by direct debit. Access to all MCG and Docklands games, a seat on level one and access to the Hassett and Ryder rooms for home games. Includes a GFG (I doubt I'll need that in the next 10 years). Seating is N1 - N4 but it's usually possible to sit closer to the wing. Having said all that I generally stand in bay 13 (M9) with the riff-raff.

Lamb said as much on SEN. Said CJ would be playing in defence. 'Lost' when played on the wing.

I don't care who plays where except for JvR - I do not want him rucking. CHF with Mihocek at FF. A decent, experienced forwards coach (Hawkins?) teaching him the craft. Failing this we'll see a replay of this season - with less goals.

I've no doubt that JT et al would have worked out the various scenarios as soon as the Suns acquired pick 8. They knew we had no hope of getting BH, so the plan would have been 'OK, we can get 7, 8 and, say, request F1, and use those picks on players A and B or tade our picks for ... in the hope we get player C"

I've mentioned this before. You can't create a list spot by paying out or delising a player. McAdam is contracted for next year. He's on our list regardless of what he does, or what we do. My understanding is that the AFL made an exemption in the case of Gus as he was 'delisted' by them.

A 'salary dump' of sorts. They're gonna have a hefty wages bill with NWM and TDK and ...

Does trench warfare with the Demon Army count?

Agree. We're already 'carrying' too many players who'll play a few, if any, senior games - McAdam, Laurie, Henderson, Sharp, Johnson, Campbell, and Jefferson.

Does he have four teenagers including two budding footballers? Maybe a house in Melbourne?

I utilise that mode of transport frequently (every Dees game in Melbourne). It's a solid two hours each way. Matt would be traveling 4 hours to conduct 90 mins (?) of drills. Also Matt is heavily involved with his local club where his two boys (13 and 14 and 191 and 193cm) play. Harry (14) won the league B&F (div 1). He'll be at Geelong Falcons very soon. Younger boy Oliver also a talent. I just reckon Matt would have more interest in the progress of his boys (and twin daughters) than the likes of JvR, Jeffo et al. Not enough hours in the day I reckon. May last one year. Just my opinion.

If you're driving from Torquay to Richmond you'd want to leave by 6am. Later than that and you hit a log jam at Point Cook. It can take 2 hours to get to Gosch's from there. A similar nightmare getting home. Essentially a full day for 90 minutes of training. Casey? Forget it.
