DistrACTION Jackson

They went 6/9 last year, so it wasn't as strong a fortress as previous years. Agree they will play finals, just hoping it's more in the 6, 7 or 8 positions!

The thing I find interesting is that individuals are encouraged to go out and borrow for their home. There are people with a $200k income (pre tax) with $1m of debt, 5 times their taxable income and 7 times based on after tax income of $140k. A government entity has a little over 1 time their revenue and they are seen as a basket case or irresponsible.

Great show

Sounds about right, forecasts for 2024/25 has total interest expenses of $6.5b, approx 6.77% of total projected revenue ($96b). You can find the information here: https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/budgetfiles202425.budget.vic.gov.au/2024-25+State+Budget+-+Statement+of+Finances.pdf

I think the article on afl said 6-12 months if we are talking about Todd Marshall

Yep. Likely out for the year

At least not 10kms from the CBD! Let's not forget Dingley is approx. 30 kms from the CBD.

Great interview. Gee the stuff that went on in the 60's makes me so mad.... whoever was involved in the Smith sacking should be erased from MFC history!

I believe it’s at Casey. Gosch’s Wednesday

Trac back at training tomorrow according to his insta. Guessing no contact for a while

Pretty sure they can go in a ballot though

Well whoever that tackler was should be unleashed on Maynard next season

Conspiracy theory PF?

I wonder if this was one of the same ribs he broke last year or a completely different area…. I think that information is also important

Must’ve been. Unless they did a time trial yesterday.

I’ve heard Brad Green hasn’t reached out to him yet…. HS planning to run with this tomorrow

Fair enough. From what I saw at training he looked similar to how he has in the past. Obviously I don’t know his GPS numbers though so can’t speak to his aerobic capacity

It’s not good, however to say he’s behind the 8 ball is incorrect and a bit insulting to Trac. He did a heap of work in his off season and has been in full training since essentially the start of training….

They have their own problems it seems with Nick Daicos dealing with plantar fasciitis….

This really would be almost a non-issue if he didn’t have the huge hit last year. Obviously the main concern is his mental capacity after this, but I guess it could go one of two ways, 1. It impacts him negatively mentally or, 2. He took a big hit, went to hospital and this strengthens his confidence. Time will tell. i guess the main concern outside of that is if his rib area is compromised as a result of the hit last year

Would love to see a list of clubs ranked by government funding.... they would surely be right at the very top

I guess it depends what you view as ideal. I actually don’t think the MCG precinct is ideal personally for a home base. I’d much rather setup a community feel in an inner Melbourne suburb than an area that no one really visits outside of sporting events.

The MCG precinct is never going to happen. Understand the middle of a race track thoughts, however it is really only used as a race track on weekends and a few weekdays in racing season….

Everyone I talk to constantly say ‘oh dees on the slide now’ or ‘rebuild time’. I’ve just been playing a straight bat saying we will see. Im happy that everyone no longer rates us… hopefully we prove them wrong.

Why do you think Caulfield is less than ideal?
