The still-top article on the Club's website Ah, the irony: not so for Simon's 10th season.

Freudian, QD?

The school of thought that says the Board had someone in mind in exiting Goodwin now: what expertise, knowledge, or outside advice can a Board have, collectively or individually, that this could be anything other than 'fingers crossed', either as to the availability or to the future success of that someone. Not speculating it can't. It's a serious question.

Is it still the case that clubs need points to secure F/S (and NGA?) draftees if other clubs select them? In which case, how can clubs get all - indeed, even more than one - of their F/S (and NGA?) prospects?

Charlie won't be getting at least the next AFL game.

Aitch!

While I can't find the audio-visual of the 'reporting', which would have context and tone to it and might amplify Rose's behaviour, the written reporting of the reporting, so to speak, seems to be a little more in the middle as to who deserved to be embarrassed, between Rose or Ginnivan. The starting point - whether the defeated should be 'birding', and bringing sanction and some blow-back to his club - seems a fair question? 'You're embarrassing' as the immediate response, as opposed to subsequently, say, in response to a hounding, is also problematic (so, too, Ginnivan's apparent socials follow-up re sanction: 'Best coin spent!') Don't know why I'm entangling myself in this one. Feedback might cure me! 😄

Bringing together literary openings allusions, (in)famous horribleness, and a possible glimpse into the post-season... "It was a dark and stormy night..."

Jim's team, too, BDA. Can you tell us more? A bit of the 'Collingwoods' or 'Geelongs' for you, perhaps?

But, praccies over and Round 1 a fortnight away, there's Goldy to barrack for as her Dubliners take on Meath in the 2025 All-Ireland final, under way at 1.15am our time.

'Max'. It's destined, surely.

All done. 8.4 to 5.8. Good travel outcome. Apolgies: I'm not good at noticing / nominating 'best'. Anyone else? It did seem an all-round effort. The 'in-and-under' group appeared strong, and the backs were generally pretty composed and considered. Tackling continues to be a feature.

Hore off, hobbling... 😧

Error-laden first few minutes! Yuck.

3/4 time. 7.1 to 5.7. Home with the wind.

Edo!👏 We have our own Goulds. Phew...

Banno! 👏

Missing Gillard for Gould ☹️

Crows using their wind advantage better this quarter.

***THERE'S A DEDICATED GAME DAY THREAD NOW***

That's what I was assuming and hence my sympathy. Used to hate it on the bay-hugging Sandy line - option only on one side, and distant.

This thread sharing commentary with the '10th season of the AFLW' thread. One eye on each, folks? 🤪

I think Goldy's granny is 4.30 pm their time so 12.30 am tonight, our time, maybe?

11.30, Brownie. Link on Club website. Maybe 12.30 for 'TG4'(?) - second half starts then. Half time. Dees 5.1, Crows 0.5.

Good start by the girls - same connection, physicality and skills as I saw last week. Quarter time, 2 goals to 3 behinds. Withstood early Crows forward 50 dominance, with wind. Benefited from inaccuracy, then took over late. Paxy motors on! Now with the breeze.
