Jumping Jack Clennett

Which top player didn’t attend preseason? Trac missed the B and F ( wisely) because he was training overseas. So who missed preseason? I must have missed this with my cricket obsession.

????something to do with where they were recruited from????? Unlikely , with Cameron , Ashcroft and ANB , for example being from different states. Perhaps they’ve all never been suspended. I give up.

This is driving me mad!

We should pay someone to line him up like Maynard did with Gus. I guess we don’t play him till after round 8 , so hopefully someone from another side will stop him from breaking our Jimma’s record.

I was just watching the replay of this year’s Kings BD match. Collingwood supporters were booing May throughout, because of his completely accurate comments at the B and F function. What gross hypocrisy!!!! Imagine how they would behave if, say, Maynard and Moore played for us, and pole-axed N Daicos and Pendlebury. The Brayshaw thuggery not only robbed us of one of best players forever, but compromised the club grossly financially. The Moore ? accident not only gravely injured Trac, but left him with ( thankfully temporary) psychological problems which disrupted the whole club. I reckon we are more justified in booing them!

I remember being impressed by Campbell when we played North in Hobart in 2021. He took two strong marks up forward , and nailed the goals from about 40-45metres.

Would it be wrong to leave some land mines when we go?

So Collingwood pole-axing Gus won them a premiership and put us into negative finances. And people wonder why I hate that club so much.

Seecamp got reported and suspended for punching Pearce up the jaw early in the game. He should have got off , because his punch was a reflex response to a vicious "below the belt" punch from Pearce. James McDonald's winning goal looked a bit like a behind on the replay, but Carlton had been spoonfed throughout by the umps.

What a modest and likeable young man he is. He just gave a really impressive interview on SEN. He said he wished he had been tried down back a bit earlier. A lot of us on Demonland thought that at the time, too.

Richmond really deserved to beat Essendon. A two goal turn around occurred when a player gave the ball to a teammate instead of the ump, costing a goal. After the ball up,the ball went up Richmond’s end, and a snap landed on the goal line, then amazingly bounced straight backwards.

A mysterious free for Hawks’ first goal. Later, Bannan marked in forward pocket, then a strange decision was paid for interference against her. It would have been a tough goal from the angle, but she’s done it before. We deserved to win.

Is 199cm tall enough for a ruckman these days.? Might he have grown since last year's measurement? Is 199cm his true height? His skills are good...and improving.

Our girls went in really hard all the game, with relentless tackling and pressure. At one stage we had 17 frees to their 3, which was pretty significant, but doesn’t compensate for the mauling we got from the umps in Fremantle.
