Yuck.

Saying something, not particularly complimentary, about the fixture so far - and possibly about the AFL's 'team creation' set-ups, and other artificialities: * North's percentage of 311% (including a draw with 12th-placed Geelong) * 16th-placed GWS 91%, 11th-placed Melbourne 61% * 12th-placed Geelong 103%, 11th-placed Melbourne 61% * 3 teams less than 50% (and one near it) - despite 2 having won twice Injuries, particularly ours, skew things somewhat, too.

On the same page, Essendon has 10 reasons. We're gone.

*Dips toes hesitantly into mire...* Couple of things in your posts, @dazzledavey36 and @old dee: Where do we find the players' views on travelling to Casey? (I'm not on any social media except here. And that's more than enough 😉) Where, achievable earlier, do the new set of board members want the football team to be? (And maybe I should have put this on another thread. Sorry to divert a positive story.)

😄 But, geographically and to the ear, that still shouts 'yeah, nah, undecided'. Mount Duneed on the other hand...

Just a little bit of the Ben Brown about him? Can't be unhappy with that.

Two Harrys, then? And 'harry': 'Persistently carry out attacks (on an enemy or an enemy's territory)' That'll do me.

'Lachie Hunter reaching a settlement on 2025 contract' Remind me?

On this year's placings, that's 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 18 This year we played, based on final standings, 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 16 So, 5, not 1; 6, not 3; 8, not 7; 13, not 10; 18, not 16; and 9 again. Easier on paper, yes. 'Much' is moot. And it takes no account of where and when games happen, particularly the once-onlys, or of changes in performance. p.s. Noting it's possible for journos to put positive spins on us! Yay.

I went for the colours. One place he wasn't 'GONE!!!' to was the Bears 😁

For the Lookalikes thread:

Something in here, too, for the Chin-pickers to ponder?

Does anyone have a handle on whether Richmond, North, Coast or Adelaide (or their D'Land equivalents!) are showing interest in Langford?

Make sure you take your hand out.

Team sheet for Round 1, 2025, is out, as announced by our Pres. At the first bounce will be Gawn, Viney, Petracca and, apparently, one C. Oliver.

Cos. Kos?

Well, I'm sufficiently uplifted by all of that! Signed, Polyanna. 😊

Streaming connection now posted on Club's website.

🤞

When was this interview?

Any historic connection between them?

Gee, his pressers are a great listen: insightful, considered, empathetic, humble, etc, etc... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1671655/wk-6-post-match-media-conference-mick-stinear?videoId=1671655&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1727956696001 Though, unless I'm mistaken, they are, over the years, tracking the greying of his temples! Prime-Minister-ish!

Bizarre:

Some sort of record? https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1671607/aflw-team-song-melbourne?videoId=1671607&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1727954405001
