I used to play sunday league soccer (long retired) and most games were either at 11am, 1pm, 3pm. So I missed a lot of games when we were poor, which may or may not have been a blessing. I actually don't mind the Sunday 1pm even though its a bit of a graveyard, don't like getting home too late on a Sunday, like to meal prep or unwind etc.

It's an interesting one. We were originally after Pick 13, so not sure what our original plan was. I would still prefer 2 mids, but guess a lot depends on development of Jeffo/Adams/Kentfield and how confident we are we'll get Kalani next year or if we can bring in Derksen.

I’ve never seen the original series, only the meh movie from the 90s. British dramas are just a+ viewing though

Had to say goodbye to my old cat last month, played this song too often in the last month. It's the final song in a trilogy of of songs (first two released by The Weakerthans) about the relationship between a pet owner in the throes of depression/life and Virtute the Cat. The first two songs are written from the perspective of the cat but this one the cat is basically resurrected in the mind of its recovering owner. Some very good songwriting about a fictional cat.

Watched all 5 episodes yesterday now I need to wait for weekly episodes, which I am not a fan of. Next show on my list is Shoresy (a spin off of Letterkenny) and then Silo.

Agreed, but hard to predict risers/sliders and who picks who. Yet I continue to read these threads daily. Just over a week left and then I can get back to work

Do people under 16 know what a internet forum is?

Think we can get more from this fella, Kicked 17.7 this year from 15 games in 2024. Hopefully he stays fit and kicks on again in 2025.

Yes we don't know his instructions, work-rate still there though Times Featuring in Top Five Players for Total Distance in 2024 Ed Langdon 21 times Alex Neal-Bullen 13 times Tom McDonald 12 times Tom Sparrow 4 times Adam Tomlinson 2 times Matches Featuring in Top Five Defensive Work Rate Alex Neal-Bullen 16 times Tom Sparrow 12 times Ed Langdon 10 times Kade Chandler 7 times Koltyn Tholstrup 5 times Matches Featuring in Top Five Offensive Work Rate Tom Sparrow 9 times Ed Langdon 7 times Alex Neal-Bullen 7 times Kade Chandler 6 times Koltyn Tholstrup 4 times Source: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1686412/gps-numbers-revealed-fittest-and-fastest-demons

Twice in the last week around 9am ive driven by and seen some fellas running around Gosch doing fitness work, couldn't make them out from the distance though

Players staying, improving off the field, progress on training facilities, good draft hand coming up. Almost makes up for a few months of doom-posting.

So i am just on the border for 4K worth it, but if its a tight game I will get up from the couch and walk to the back of the room and pace aha

Its funny how it all works as well. I was watching the A-League on Paramount+ direct from LG App on Friday and was encountering significant connection issues - buffering issues and then lost connection and couldnt even get back into the game after a reset, switched to chromecast/google tv and most of the problems disappeared instantly. Never really had any other buffering issues, but Paramount+ are a bit flaky with live streaming. Re: HBO they announced recently they'll be launching HBO Max in Australia in the first half of 2025. Much like FoxSports, the price of Binge continues to rise even though they're losing content.

Unfortunately Fox Sports (at present) don't care about the world game.

Langford and TT my pref options at the moment, but need to see what falls ahead of us.

Played 3 finals this year, wouldnt grab him for best 22, but if we're after free depth does it hurt to ask the question?

Quinton Narkle apparently being delisted, thoughts?

He still lacks mongrel, but at least his body would be more reliable than Krueger.

No.1: Levi Ashcroft - Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro No.2: Jagga Smith - Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro No.3: Finn O'Sullivan - Oakleigh Charges/Vic Country No.4: Sid Draper - South Adelaide/South Australia No.5: Josh Smillie - Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro No.6: Alix Tauru - Gippsland Power/Vic Country No.7: Sam Lalor - GWV Rebels/Vic Country No. 8: Isaac Kako - Calder Cannons/Vic Country No.9: Tobie Travaglia - Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country No.10: Leonardo Lombard - SUNS Academy/Allies Has Kako and Travaglia much higher than some others. Still strange that Cal had Langford at 2 in the September edition but this fella can't find a spot for him in the top 10.

Our back depth is an interesting one given 2 of them are playing as forwards. Think we're 1 big fella short but not sure if this is the answer.

Assume if we draft some gun mids and keep on with Rivers in the middle we'll have Trac resting forward a bit too. If he wasn't doing Ruck work too i'd have JvR as my early prediction for club leading goal scorer in 2025.

I think the tone of my message came out wrong, wasnt trying to be smart-alec. I encourage all people to share what they hear - some will be true, some may have been true at the time, some a fugazi. But keep on sharing for discussion.
