Farewell Luke Jackson
WCE would be their best bet then. They'd have the most experience in that.

Do we PM our answers to give everyone a chance to join in the fun?

The TRAINING without the Trackwatchers Thread
Weid really putting pressure on Van Rooyen to hold his spot.

Training Ground?
They worked out a very nice compromise. No trees removed, but the ground is much larger, in an attractive "kidney" shape. It's a little non-traditional, but should really help with unpredictable ball movement and give the boys a considerable advantage in matches.

"Massive rock, hun!" "Yeah, I love it. We're setting date for October, after the finals."

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
You're only as big a dlckhead as the dlckhead that employs you. The management at Ch 7 have a warped view of sport and think that BT's barely coherent splutterings are an integral part of the entertainment. They probably grew up listening to Rex Hunt, whose efforts by the end of his career were barely recognisable as sports commentary.

These "fortune tellers", tarot readers, etc, are actually skilled at what is called "cold reading", whereby knowingly or unknowingly, they are picking up on subtle clues that you (usually unwittingly) give away to them, such as wearing a Melbourne jumper, having number 6 on the back of the jumper, and saying "God, I hope our young dark-haired ruckman doesn't go back to Perth."

A trade deal can be worked out. They can play if they pay a tariff of one goal per quarter.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Unless he's seen at the airport in a WCE T-shirt, going over to Perth to "inspect the facilities", nothing to worry about. Unless his old man gets a job as a recruiter for WCE, nothing to worry about.

20th? You've got a lot of catching up to do.

2021 Player Reviews: #6 Luke Jackson
Yeah, he gave Jimmy Anderson a hell of a bake after that. Lucky for Joe, he'd made some side bets over whether he'd make a duck and got most of his money back.

Bloody hell. Sounds like a thriller. Anyone know when this game was played? I want to see if I can find it on youtube.

Rule changes for 2022 season
A scorched earth policy, similar to what was done with deliberate out of bounds, will work wonders. One or two early 50s will lead to an immense and rapid improvement in players' awareness and dexterity. It beggars belief why the AFL were so willing to "scorched earth" the deliberate OOB but won't do it for other rules which are worse for the game. Especially throwing.

Please tell me this was done in slow motion, running towards each other with outstretched arms, before twirling around and falling into the sand together, as waves washed over the two of you.

If The Don* named an Australian Test cricket team...
I'm late to the party but no 1 is Warner. No-one got it coz the VIN number was sanded off the boat.

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
Discourage X factor? A large dose of X factor took us from 19 points down to stunned and demoralised oppo in 10 minutes of football. Worker ants like ANB, Harmes, Spargo, are well and good (not discounting Harmes' little bit of X to start the riot) and every team needs them, but they don't give you bang bang bang to destroy a good team.

Has 186 been laid to rest?
It's well known that you can't change clubs. It's like politicians who change parties. They're never quite trusted by the new mob, and definitely not by their old mob. Hollow victories indeed. No. He got to stand in the corner and watch while the cool kids partied. Lose-lose.

Consider thyself pilloried, DS. Points for the Peggy Lee reference but I'm afraid you are still in deficit. GO DEMONS!!!!

An MFC KPF currently sitting just outside the best 22 is quaking in his boots after watching that.

Yes, it's a terrible thing being premiers, and having all these celebratory events to go to. Ask them why they didn't go to their club's 2021 premiership events.

Is it time to reset the Chris Sullivan line?
All records are dead and buried. A new era has begun and past failures are consigned to the dustbin.

If The Rev* named a Dees team...
I just couldn't make it work. (Even the strumpet part didn't work for me. Shrew or scold, maybe?) My best guess was "frail", old American slang for woman. Still didn't work. But "fraily" for "banjo-strummy"? I even hit the thesaurus and came up (void, vacuum, vacuous, vacant, empty, unoccupied, barren, bare). Your vocabulary leaves mine for (flat, stale, faded, dull, toneless, cold, lifeless, spiritless). Victory for the Reddan-A'Blew (an apt homophone for this quiz and 2021).

10 Wayne Gordon 13 Rod Owen? 14 Peter Moore? 6 Sam Blease? (going from most certain to most tenuous) and I'm sure Bayley Fritsch must get a gig but I can't quite see where ...
