Harvey Wallbanger

And Chaplin mentioned "whiplash", so I guess they will have checked out his neck/spine. I was watching him closely after it happened - as he stayed down for a while. As he started to run - expecting to stay on - he grabbed at his lower back. and then headed off the ground. Over to the medical experts on here.....

In our case under the heading - Membership, Annual Reserved Seating and General Fundraisng - last year $12.6 million. $12.5 million in 2023.

The Saints are obviously doing it - good on them! I would prefer a bit more action than a reliance on hope - I appreciate the circumstances are a little different but compare what we did re Kossie's re-signing compared with Nasiah.

The AFL doesn't want that disclosed. Just total numbers which the AFL announced recently (August 8, 2025) by a tiny percentage (2.8%) 1,324,304 from 1,319,687 in 2024. The AFL's official cut-off for 2025 members is 31 August 2025 and they are required to be provided by the Clubs in early September.

Exact words "mid-late September".

That would be very late - mid to late September for that announcement according to the Pres.

Last week's 23 in attendance this morning plus Aidan Johnson - no other AFL listed players, so expect little or no change to the team tonight. Looks like Xavier Lindsay will not be rushed back in. Great to see Choco seeing it through - lots of love being shared around. No soccer game - just loads of goal-kicking practice.

Troy Chaplin said he was contracted for next year in his press conference today.

But maybe Georgia Campbell misses out. Tayla Harris started really well on Saturday night - I wouldn't be dropping her if her eye is OK.....

Where do we find the official announcement - Marty Hore and Mark Williams? Any chance members ever get anything from the Club first?

Lily had 7 disposals - limited opportunities (predominantly wing) from just 43% game time. Goldy adds a lot with her run and vigour, probably off half-back. Someone has to go out for Goldy, so reckon there is high chance Lily is omitted. There - you got it out of me.

"Denuto may not win many cases, but he’s loyal, well-meaning, and always ready to argue “the vibe,” even when he hasn’t quite read the fine print." If only he could get that printer to work!🙂

I think I know why you asked that question.....do you want to re-phrase it? 🙂

All 30 listed players in attendance, with Jacinta Hose (LTI) continuing her rehab. Also present was a train-on player, left-footer (unidentified). Of the 23 who played on Saturday evening, all participated fully with the exception of Tayla Harris, who did all the drills but sat out the match sim - probably just to avoid any further eye contact - if you know what I mean! Tahlia Gillard, Grace Beasley, Denby Taylor and Gabby Colvin continued their rehab. Based on yesterday's injury report I would expect Sinead Goldrick and Georgie Gall to come into this week's team.

HeraldSun reporting Jai Culley close to signing one-year extension. Not official yet.

Definitely "went the biff".

Gee, Leigh Matthews gave the Club another serve tonight - right in front of Bucks, On the Couch....

So an early injury report reveals that Xavier won't be available for Friday night (and therefore done for the season, and Hendo (groin) and Jeffo (big toe) sound like they will be unavailable for Casey finals - but both are TBCs. Oli Sestan however is ready to go.....

Nasiah waited until late in the game and got $2 million per year. 🙂

Don't think so - reckon it was No. 21.

"The membership has no clue how they run day to day, and nor should we." Interesting take on things - might explain why we are 7,000 members lighter now than we were this time last year? Anyone heard from the Member Engagement Committee formed with urgency and to much fanfare a year ago?

TMac did not seem to be restricted in any way at training today.

They do love their soccer! All 23 who played on Saturday present other than McVee and Viney. TMac with the group so that seems to confirm that the half-time substitution was "tactical". Henderson and Sestan both present as Ghosty reported. And AMW who is getting himself set for a big pre-season. Jake Lever was running, and moving quite freely. Xavier Lindsay also present and working with the physio. Although only listed as one week in last week's injury report, I would be surprised if they rushed Xavier to play on Friday night. No Windsor, McAdam or Hore. None of the AFL listed Casey boys present today, given they played yesterday.

Fair enough. They all get a week off now - which I suspect they need, and will benefit from.

He is playing off half-back. Less time in the mid-field.
