So, ideas rather than actual staff (my initial suspicion)? Your domestics are indeed lucky to have a seigneur with such care for their job security and intellectual advancement.

Without a hint of irony, I don't mind it. A blue (sea) bottom half would have made it more apt, though.

Another welcome update required, @red and blue forever! https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1692964/mick-makes-it-ten

<Non-PC warning...> Accompanied by any *cough* 'staff' augmentation? 😉

"Kickett Tauru!!"

And had we made up that less than 1% to get into the middle 6, we would have had a Saints-type draw: Based on 2024 4th - Cats 6th?5th? - Giants 7th - Dogs 10th - Dockers 13th - Saints 18th - Tigers In terms of groupings: 2 from top 6 2 from middle 6 2 from bottom 6

From those in the know, is there anything to be optimistic about with this list as a playing group where our included AFL-listed players can develop and retain, and preferably develop, their capabilities, confidence and ambition?

Pretty rounded view of things, has Jonesy, and coming from a number of good and relevant places into this apparently well-conceived role.

No Greg Stafford's Mornington Peninsula farm, 'where the change began', this time, though. Who, and their property, will step up in Pre-Season 2025?!

Did I get an inkling from something recently (his Dad commenting on the choice?) that the family was prepared to move?

I'll certainly be happy to help, LG. If not annoy...😁

My steel-capped boots, and vigorous application thereof, were appropriately pre-emptive!

No winklepickers, but what I'm lacking in penetration, I'm making up for in repetitions. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

Will clock up 200 this year. That'll be career match-day kilometres approximately enough that'd get him back to Perth. 👏

No. It's not. Until it is.

Couple of things in that report: * It's not 'an oval'; it's a footy, surely! * it's not a setting sun; the shimmering bottom half means it's a rising sun, over the Pacific. Credibility points deductions.

...and you aren't imagining it! Methinks it is just part of has dastardly clueing! So, fear not, @Lucifers Hero!

Fixture: Fixed? Sure!

And Queensland, it seems.

Couldn't happen to a nicer four teams, travelling early, interstate, 'hot'wards.

Yep, seems like we 'got our man'!

...and what's the betting for a 5-day turnaround for it, on Easter Thursday...

Here's the interview: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1690667/season-review-maeve-chaplin?videoId=1690667&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1731135600001 Interesting that she notes, openly, that, 'we had a game style change half way through the season'. Coaching awareness, flexibility and courage that I hope filters in to the men's program where many on here feel it's needed.

Is NT contracted, and, if so, for how long? I wonder what the new administration's Indigenous engagement appetite is?

You're a traveller, BA? Kudos to you, then, and all the other travellers (special shout-out to The Army). Best wishes for a good travel fixture.
