Not particularly obscure but some awesome listening on a sunny Saturday afternoon: Garden State (the movie) soundtrack. Featuring The Shins, Colin Hay, Simon & Garfunkel, Zero 7, Nick Drake. It’s a ripper. Been a staple for years. Have also been listening to the Triple J Hottest 100 from 1997 on repeat for months recently (via Spotify playlist, with the full 100 songs). Featuring The Whitlams, Blur, Radiohead, Jebediah, Ben Folds, Nick Cave, The Tea Party, so many good songs - it’s a ripper.

We might need a new thread: Who is THE draft GURU? Cal Twomey Vs Emma Quayle (might now work at GWS if I’m not mistaken?) Vs Knightmare Vs Shifter Sheehan Vs Who else?

Murphy Reid is so bloody good

Brilliant game

Soligo attacks the footy, makes all the play, does a spin turn and is tackled - holding the ball. That’s ridiculous

Still available if anyone wants these: 2 x free tickets available in AFL members, lower level

2 x free tickets available in AFL members, lower level - DM if you want ‘em.

Looks bloody good to me. Glad they’ve reached outside the four walls. If Buckley eventually gets the nod we’ll know he’s been evaluated and tested properly as the right candidate rather than just anointed (which is what the media wants us to do - which they would then use against us when we have a bad patch in the future).

Listening on SEN and they can’t get over how grim the crowd and atmosphere is

Just seen Toby’s hit on Heeney, looks terrible from the angle I’ve seen. Deliberate, ball not in-play, just a crude cowardly hit on a defenseless person on the ground - probably get away with no weeks???

Why the hell are the cameras focusing so much on the father of one (two) players for their reaction, constantly? WHO CARES???? Most people watching don’t give a toss - time our broadcasters grow up and move on.

Please keep Voss

Can’t seem to get away from Jack Riewoldt, why is he always yelling? (Is he even there?)

Not just a ‘government job’ friend, he is head of VECCI who are hosting the World Chambers Congress in September, hence why he can’t just step away and he’d be burning some big bridges if he did - the opposite of what you’d want someone in his position to be doing.

What sort of world do you live in? These highly important roles within businesses have months long termination clauses that employers/employees have to abide by. I’d be more concerned if he was already currently employed and they simply said ‘no worries, you can have him’.

This is what I don’t get! Every player within our team is a good enough field kick to place it within 1-2m of their intended target at a distance of roughly 40m, but when faced with the ‘goal’ they see the face of the goals as the target and accordingly they get it outside of that by 1-2m. It’s all coaching and practice, simply need to grab a bloody designated player and put him in the middle of the goals to kick to - just kick it over his head!

Brilliant game of footy down in Geelong. So clean from both teams. Would love to get Riccardi out of GWS, playing a great game.

Umpiring just makes this game so frustrating to watch let alone actually enjoy

They’re poor because large parts of the ground are in shade most of the time (during footy season). Gosch’s paddock, as an example, is a beautiful deck and receives the elements all year round - plus all types of neighboring civilians using it year round.

Can’t believe we lost to both these teams. (But then I can totally believe we actually lost to both these teams)

I thought it was a really good interview. Certainly spoke very well and handled himself perfectly. He tried as best as he could to keep things light with both Tim and Gaz pressing him on what he was going to do first and you could tell they were wanting to press the 'Caulfield' queries as much as possible. Finally Gaz came out and asked "What is happening with Caulfield? What do you know?" Paul answered straight away "I know as much as you at this point Gaz". Then said he was looking forward to getting into the details and would be meeting people properly in the coming days. Seems weird that the club has let him do all this media and yet they haven't briefed him on anything yet. To me it looks like this has all come out earlier than expected and the club has just had to run with it. Lucky he's handling himself well I think.

Heard on radio he was having concussion assessment

Got 2 x Free tickets if anyone is keen, please DM me and I’ll send via text. Centre wing Medallion Club (basically just AFL Reserve I believe). Go Dees!
