Not necessarily popular here, but... Brisbane, please, please, please, beat Geelong. Then, regardless of the Sydney/Port outcome, a non-Victorian GF. Beautifully unwatchable.

I wish I'd said that. Oh wait, I did!! hahaha But, seriously, I'd like* to say it again on Grand Final day, I now realise. *...with just a touch of bitterness.

When you're a caretaker it's right there in the name what you're supposed to do...

I presume - certainly hope - this is from the Shun's report, alph? For those of us not of the Shun or Twatter persuasion, could you elaborate on the terms of the poll, please (presuming there are any...)

Spin, no doubt, but also a glimmer of a bigger future. Play to keep them in '25, boys (and you Season 9 girls!) https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1652421/melbourne-breaks-junior-membership-record

From the heady days of less than 5 minutes, the average time between posts has now slipped out to beyond 6. There is hope.

2 inches taller than JVR. Jack Oatey medallist (BOG) in 2022 Redlegs premiership, playing ruck.

Just what all these spot fires need...

...and certainly have no time for the 7% solution. [Look it up]

Thanks, @Meggs. And it was incorrect disposal from where everyone was standing!

3 blow-outs. Very happy for the AFL.

Alyssia Pisano, in (clichéd😄) post-match modesty on her first goal: 'It was just good to get on the end of it'. Not doing herself justice: her clever get/evade/pass started the chain in the pocket; then she buttered up to be in it again at the end.

Terrible, esp after her Geelong effort. Related: any news on Zanker arm (elbow?)? Season 9 turning out to be 2024-men's-like!

Sadly, they didn't. North next week. We'll do a Brisbane - of this week, not last!

So now the wind's dropping!...

Zanker: arm 😟

That was into a BIG gust, too 👏

Lions too tall, connected, fast. Can't change much of that. Need to find a way around it. 'Breeze' stronger than forecast. And all over the place.

On my way up the road soon. Age tipsters are 7-to-1 in favour of them. Oh, come ON!

Dog day for the Dogs. Their women's percentage now 12.7...

We're facing an unpalatable grand final, folks: Geelong v Hawthorn. I'll be washing my hair that day. And I have very little to wash...

There's my cue... I'm pretty sure its all hearsey.

Very nicely done, Meggs! Thanks for the AM reminder. Head Office could just as easily have scheduled 11.05 PM... And, perhaps the weather gods will be kinder than 'the Casey usual': only 'light winds' are forecast (also with only a slight chance of minimal rain). Some contrast to that memorable ⛈️⛈️⛈️ first ever game for the Dees, against the same opposition at the same venue*. Hopefully the result will be in like contrast! (* It is my badge of honour that I was there AND stayed to the end...)

There's another 'streaky' thread might suit this better, Red. Although, thankfully, we haven't had to see it for a while, its raison d'être having been progressively and greatly reduced in these recent successful years.

25 might be it, then, leaving the two 'good faith' parties with arguable wins and no mess. A friendly quick haggle might add Adelaide's 4th rounder (60) or a future 3rd to us, but 'good faith' would evapourate if it's a 3rd rounder (42) offer, or a hold-up while Adelaide pick-trades. If we had to throw in even just our 61, that'd take the 'win' gloss off.
