2026 Pass Mark
Zero Hangar's had a go now. Just 6 wins for us. Only Tiges and Worst less (4). Essendon 8 and the rest 'more wins than losses' or better. Coupla dozen grand finalists - on-field numbers will be bigger than the crowd.

Training Ground?
What is the financial structure of the Club's presence in Casey and at Casey Fields? On the one hand, does the Club lose any funding if we reduce or cease our presence there? On the other, does the Club have any realisable equity in the facilities there?

Training Ground?
Our 'one club/pokies' sale funds sit in a 'future fund', I believe, and is ring-fenced from this capital spend. Can someone remind us why?

The genuinely definitely easy quiz to get 2026 started
Nice quiz, LG! Your 'clues', not so much 😄
-
What do the current Australian cricket team selectors and last year’s Dees’ selectors have in common?
I thought this was another quiz! Disappointed.

The genuinely definitely easy quiz to get 2026 started
I'm not so self-centred (or paranoid) as to think the vendetta is solely against me. Eh, @Ghostwriter? Eh, @Neil Crompton? Eh, all you other co(nundru)mmrades?

The genuinely definitely easy quiz to get 2026 started
p.s. Puzzle setters, please recalibrate teams to 2026 requirements: a bench of 5 is required. Who's your 23rd, @Little Goffy?

The genuinely definitely easy quiz to get 2026 started
@Little Goffy, '...genuinely definitely easy...' is applicable at no more than the level of 'it jumps off the page' or 'Answers below'. It isn't.

VFL on film 1909-1945
Fascinating watch. Good dose of Fuchsias in there, though not much of the identifying of individuals afforded the other teams featured 😠 But check out Bob Corbett at around 55 minutes - surely a Brayshaw ancestor!

Aidan Johnson
...and one of remarkable length for this player in the context of the squad as a whole! He has something that makes him stand out in the crowd for us supporters.

Melbourne's next AFLW coach
This is often cited. It wouldn't surprise me. But is it proved?

Demonstone's #50 - A Hellraising Heroicomic Heuristic Heartbreaker
Thanks, Mr Stone. With the champers, JBnC, and VB all quaffed, I shall take my tall glass of melted ice and hie to my study to scheme and plot.

Demonstone's #50 - A Hellraising Heroicomic Heuristic Heartbreaker
I've just joined and need to record that I am disqualified on the basis of inside knowledge. However, I would also like to record that I'm sure I would have got it had I not had said inside knowledge. Yeah. Right.

Harvey Langford - 2025 Highlights
Just the slightest of pangs seeing the delight on Clarry's face in that last sequence. And the team orientation of Trac in the earlier hand-off. But Harvey's going to be part of what makes up for it in '26 and beyond.

Training Ground?
How poor a second best, then, would the Olympic Park site be for us? But 'Collingwood' at 'Caulfield'. Little more in common than their initial.

George VACURA
@radar - From reverseaustralia.com My interest was piqued because of the book. I have it; it's a good one. I hope they update it before I 'shuffle off'!

Annual General Meeting
SS actually said we're "really" close, but then stumbled into "than we have been before". Clear as the winter Glenferrie Oval 😄

Annual General Meeting
Anything in the speeches, or in side conversation, about the women's program and/or the women's coach?
-
Bailey Humphrey
Someone remind us what the particular emotional, social and/or 'football' connections he had with us? As to attractiveness from a football perspective, the 2026 performances of our new and new-ish young brigade might be more important than ladder position?

Welcome to Demonland: Thomas Matthews

AFLW Draft 2025
Very disappointing, Brownie. Training is evidently a great opportunity to engage with Club folks, for those comfortable to do so. @Ghostwriter, or one of the other track watchers: post the AGM, if there's nothing clear from it, could you ask Paul or anyone else with relevant authority, at training, what's going on with the Club and its women's program?
-
AFLW Draft 2025
Any inside info, anyone? The Austin and Horisk 'ins' appear to be positive, but I'm a bit paranoid, what with the other 'outs' as well, in the context of Mick's departure and no replacement (or even a 'process'?) confirmed.
