Zurich
Eight new players have joined the multimillion-dollar concussion class action led by former Geelong star Max Rooke against the AFL, alleging they have had their lives impacted by serious head knocks. The former players named as plaintiffs in the document are ruckman Jack Fitzpatrick (Hawthorn and Melbourne 2010-2015), midfielder Nick Stevens (Port Adelaide and Carlton 1998-2009), midfielder Gary Frangalas (Richmond 1986-1989), defender Michael Richardson (Collingwood and Essendon 1983-1986), forward Ian Fairley (North Melbourne 1983-1996), Rod MacPherson (Footscray 1982-1986), Dylan Roberton (Fremantle 2010-2012) and Brendan Littler (St Kilda 1986). And of course the thumbnail : Jack Fitzpatrick in his Demons playing days

Zurich
The Insurance industry is a shady industry, they'll frustrate you into submission and do their best to avoid a payout. While they support the club, a division of Zurich is simultaneously making life difficult for one of our favourite sons. It’s an awkward impasse. Believe the deal runs end of this year, i think we'd all like to see them gone for season 2027 but we do need a major co-partner to pay the bills

Farewell Oskar Baker
You'd assume there was more cap space to bring in Pig, Melk and May, the latter ones were from shopping in the clearance section.

PREGAME: Rd 02 vs Fremantle
Will be curious to see, some players will obviously flourish in a new system, others may not be as suited. Kid is a gem, give him some time. As above happy giving Laurie a clean slate under a new gameplan under King, happy for him to get a another chance in the seniors this season.

TRAINING: Thursday 19th March 2026
Looking at the match report for Casey last week, few things to note It was a special moment for Moniz-Wakefield, who took to the field for his first match after an extended stint on the sidelines following an ACL injury sustained in February 2025. To the delight of all Demons fans, he was able to complete the hit-out unscathed. Bailey Laurie moved well between the midfield and forward line, finishing with three goals and proving to be an important connection piece in attack. Xavier Taylor was influential across half-back and pushed forward late, capping off his performance by kicking the final goal of the match Given AMW probably still rusty perhaps the other 2 would be ahead of him in some capacity.

PREGAME: Rd 02 vs Fremantle
His organization is required in the post May era. Disco/Petty will need to grow into this role

In defence of our defence
It's a big change from contested/warfare under Goody, will take a little getting used to as a fan seeing spare opposition players floating about. But on the flip side this is also helping us create.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/wish-i-had-done-it-a-couple-of-years-ago-oliver-on-dees-years-trade-and-the-diagnosis-that-changed-his-life-20260305-p5o7u5.html Some interesting quotes “I wish I had done it a couple of years ago as well. It would have been nice. I should have come up in 2023. It would have saved me a couple of years,” Oliver said. “I had a good eight years at Melbourne, probably the last two years weren’t great. I am happy playing footy again, happy to be in a good spot and looking forward to a good year,” he said. “They wanted to go a different way, which is fine, all the best.” “Before that 2021 season I never thought I was going to be that good anyway,” he said. “The way individuals get recognised is by being in a successful team. It is no point being a good player in a [censored] team, I am a big believer in that,” Oliver said. “Every now and again, I get a few hellos but nothing like [in] Melbourne,” Oliver said. “I love it, to walk around and be a normal person, it’s pretty underrated.

Left-handedness and competitive sport
Growing up I kicked a footy with my left foot but a soccer ball with my right. Found that odd.
