Flush - "to send a volume of water quickly through (a pipe, etc..) or into (a toilet) for the purpose of cleansing, etc...."

Thanks Rif - we may be idle (and therefore able to attend training) but we are highly trained and, yes, we have feelings......

I wasn't there Tuesday Rif. I'll get the track-watcher committee together on Sunday for the "pre-match Captain's Run" and give them a good talking to!

Noted LDC. From now on we will use the term "light recovery" lifted straight from the website.

I reported on Friday that Kosi looked "sore" and had his ankle re-strapped at training. So what does a match committee do? Play him sore because of his talent? Play a fully fit "lesser" player. Kosi kicked 6 in 2022 when we beat Port in Alice - pretty much won the game single-handedly.

Didn't get above 20 degrees.

I agree - let's all wait and see. I just hope he contributes to his best on Sunday - I reckon he's a little bit sore, but he loves playing in Alice. 3 or 4 goals and then sub him out.....?

Sharp named in the 18, so not going to happen this week. Maybe a perfect sub for Grand Final day?

Having not played last week - surely better for TMac to get a full game for Casey. He wasn't going to push out May, Lever or Turner after last week.

Bailey is on his way to Alice. Emergencies are Adams, Henderson and JVR (in Sydney?). Vines will train in Alice!

Interesting that the team list on the AFL site just swapped JVR in for Viney into the 18. I suspect at 5 pm we will find that JVR is an emergency, because he is in Sydney ready to play for Casey tomorrow. Vines is flying to Alice and will train (a little like Clayton did a couple of years ago!) and Henderson will come into the 23. Either Hendo or Sharp I expect to be sub. Don't expect Adams to play. Final question is which plane Bailey Laurie is on....?

Great draw! We miss North, Adelaide and Hawthorn. Only 3 interstate - Freo, Port and Brisbane. 5 home games at Casey, 1 at Ikon against Essendon. Whitten Oval, Vic Park and GMHBA the local away games.... Bring it on!

It's not cheap - but the actual cost depends on how you approach the travel/accommodation (drive/fly, hotel/Air BnB/friends), but it is a rare opportunity to watch multiple games of football in a great atmosphere (we managed 6 games - 5 at Adelaide Oval and one at Norwood). Much different to the usual febrile atmosphere of, say a standalone Dees/Pies game. Festival atmosphere - great for football lovers, not just those that live in Adelaide. Exactly the sort of initiative designed for AFL supporters who love footy - long overdue.

Thanks Ghosty - noticed that interaction too. Bill hasn't done much wrong and would probably be in the AFL side if we weren't so beautifully healthy. Probably words of encouragement from Richo just "to be ready" when the time comes....
