PRESEASON TRAINING: Closed Sessions at Casey until 2024
Yep, have been into this since the start. Was showing some excellent form before suspension, then just couldnāt bust back into the fold. Must have been frustrating, and I reckon heāll want to prove one or two things to his previous employers.

Ha! Yes of all the pretentious Sydney cabaret-rock bands of the 90s, they were certainly one of them.

Trade Rumours 2023
Admittedly I havenāt paid a heap of attention to him as a player, so Iāve braved Big Footy on and off recently, specifically to gauge how Crows fans (and neutrals) feel about it. Have also watched what vision I can find easily enough. My takeaway is that heās generally regarded as an 18-22 player, but this view is a little clouded by his suspension. Not saying that heās a thug or anything. Just that he was really starting to find some form and had entered ālocked-inā status, but after three weeks out the team was relatively-humming, and he struggled to work his way back in. I generally see him as the best replacement for Melksham on offer. He might not be perfect, but Jake also had his fair share of walks through the desert. But McAdam is certainly capable of those high-agility, leading-forward bursts that Melksham provided. Especially with a new start and attitude.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
Rivers at pick 32 goes to show you how much is yet to be revealed about all the draftees. And there are enough high-pick disappointments out there to show the whole thing is a bit of a lottery.

2023 GRAND FINAL
Paul Stanley mimed all the vocals. His mic was left on so that his comical-rock-interjections between lines came through, helping create the illusion of a live vocal performance. Music was all backing track. So the AFL spent $2m on four dudes to turn up, put on some make-up and slightly-wiggle about for a few minutes Itās a [censored] joke, and not one with a terribly-good punchline.

Welcome to Demonland: Shane McAdam
Why would you not think this has all been thoroughly discussed and evaluated by the MFC staff? Burgess and the MFC parted on very good terms. If there was a serious problem with McAdamās attitude, it would have been well and truly flagged by Burgess. Obviously the media will beat-up any actual information around something like this. As for āthinks he is betterā what are you basing that on?

Well, if Iāve learned anything from this thread, itās that my long-standing resolution to never go to Bali remains unshaken.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Yes. In reality, Grundy is just a really tall midfielder.

Well of course he does. I just hope his opinion doesnāt matter.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Yes, or āconjectureā as I said Anyway, the story will either be told in time, or most likely, remain the stuff of further quiet conjecture among supporters for some time to come. I will never understand the Hibberd decision though. He was named as an emergency, so not injured. No doubt carrying a niggle (as many would have been) but would have played out if his skin in his final match, and in turn given us a permanent forward in Smith, rather than MacDonald, whoās inclusion was nothing but a āHail Maryā in a synagogue.
