I think it's fair to say I like it, and think it will intrigue others but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. If the genre descriptions or bands I mentioned are of interest, check it out!

Has anyone heard: Pain to Power by Maruja I'm unsure how to describe it. Post Punk? Post hardcore? Jazz rock? It feels like a bit of a cross between the styles of At the Drive in X Rage Against the Machine X Party Dozen.

I can thelp that feels if Sloan was the one for us that would have been an easy and quick appointment to make and announce.

Also, I saw the chat about Spotify and Apple music etc above. I've recently switched to Qobuz (from Spotify/Tidal). Could transfer all my playlists, artists, albums, songs, etc. in minutes. High quality lossless, amazing sound quality. Library seems more than adequate (when I transferred my Spotify and tidal libraries across there was only one band not present) Interface seems to be set up more as a place to find and play your favourite records, with a heavy focus on editorial content and recommendations and human made playlists, rather than algorithms and AI play lists. And the artist pay is even better: about US$19 per thousand streams, vs US$13 for Tidal or <$5 for Spotify. It seems very artist and music centric. I'm very happy so far.

I've just found Mei Semones. Her debut album Animaru is a tantalising blend of bossa nova jazz, indie rock, and alt pop, which come together in a delightful package that has really captured my attention. Highly recommend.

@binman the GP line up this year is phenomenal. I am very much looking forward to see what Djrum brings, his releases are phenomenal. And Frost Children are emo kids playing electronica. Plus Ty Segall a latest album is an absolute cracker. Might see you there!

I think it's lip service the the AFLW team. If it was the ment heyd make big announcements about what we were doing to secure the next coach, we'd have socials about the list management and drsft tonight etc. I understand budget isn't as high for the women's program, but surely those shared comms resources could be doing a bit more?

So actually with Paxy, Hose, Mahony, Dethridge, and O'Hehir all contracted til end of 2026 (with draftees getting 2 years and Paxy and Hose being extended), Goldrick and Mackin are the only out of contracts. Mackin possible retirement? You'd think Goldy gets the nod ahead of Rigoni.

Yeah also did a search and Hose signed til 2026 too. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1793226/dees-fill-final-list-space-aflw#:~:text=Pleasingly%2C%20the%20club%20has%20offered,do%20in%20an%20AFLW%20environment.%E2%80%9D

Rigoni delisted, it seems. 7 listed players still out of contract (no news): Dethridge O'Herir Goldrick Hose Mahony Mackin (Aimee) Paxman We had 2 extras on the list (due to two inactive players. We currently have 5 out (Colvin, Zanker, Taylor, Johnson, Rigoni) and 2 in (Mia Austin, Aoife Horisk). So that means we have one list spot, unless we have players remaining on the inactive list. We have picks 9 and 14, and then 53 and 71. We seemed quite happy to trade out 2nd round picks. So my guess is one more delisting to go, and we only use 2 picks in the draft.

I think the dogs held down on principle. North were absolutely low balling and that's poor form.

Trade period starts tomorrow and we still have 10 out of contract players, including some big names.

I think a dangerous lively smallish forward with goal sense who can win her own ball. A big bodied mid is important too. But I do think O'Hehir is destined for that role. With the lower scoring game in AFLW I do think that the type you described (create goals) are really valuable. I suspect that's why we drafted Pisano: when it clicks she is great. But she doesn't seem to be able to get involved regularly to give her those opportunities.

Ripping band, and have all their albums on vinyl! Their whole catalogue is worth a listen.

Gabby Colvin retirement. melbournefc.com.auColvin calls time | Thank you GabGabrielle Colvin has retired from the game Unsurprising after injury kept her out a lot of the season, and given her age. But has been a solid squad contributor over the journey.

Honestly, I thought she looked capable during her handful of performances. But is a small list and spots are premium. I suspect they have a good handle on who will be reconstracted, who they want to recruit and how many to draft.

Denby Taylor won't be offered a new contract. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1936491/aflw-list-update-thank-you-denby

Which is rubbish. When has the lower placed side ever got the benefit?

At Casey.

To think that Jack Trengove is younger than Jake Melksham and only a few months old than Gawn and May. Yet he only played 10 games after the 2013 season.

I think Morton definitely had the capacity as well. His first couple of years were great, playing more as a wing/HFF. Then they shifted him to defence where he really struggled, add in a few injuries and I suspect he really struggled to refind confidence and get back into form.

Gee would be good to have Goldrick back next week! I'm not sure if any of the others get in for the final. Colvin probably the best chance if her wrist is up to it,and Molly has been in the team when fit but hasn't set the world on fire.

A win next week and we still finish 2nd.

Game changing decision.
