New game plan suits him too, hopefully the likes of Jeffo/Laurie get some exposure to it before decisions are made on their future

Yesterday i walked home behind a group of Carlton fans and listened to their meltdowns, they were walking slower than I usually do but I didn't want to overtake them cos I was enjoying it.

I've acquired a small step-child who has already been indoctrinated as a Magpie, now it is your turn to give me your thoughts.

Was Jordie, tagged in some Jayden Hunt stories on Insta

My mate messaged me after quarter time and asked where I was sitting, i said "thinking of changing seats... to my couch at home". I stayed to the end and enjoyed seeing the loud Carlton fans near me leaving early after putting up with their nonsense most of the first half. With age comes the understanding that time is our rarest commodity and using it well requires balance. Thoughts with you for your mum and all the best on the upcoming birth of your Manchester United supporting child

its definitely up there with some other recent classic i've attended in recent years, other noticeable ones. Vs Brisbane in 2023 when Milkshake scored a late goal to win the game. vs Carlton in 2022 when Pickett scored a late goal to win the game,

Same leg?

Surprised by this - but glad we're persisting with Trelly for a bit longer. Wonder what Rivers has been told to work on, bit stooged with no Casey game this weekend tho

Dont revel too much or they'll beat us in gather round

Yep, used to judge this for MCC Balcony attendance time lol

Wonder what the banner will say?

Kozzy and Chin

Would fit in then!

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

Belatedly did the MFC/MCC dual membership today. Already counted as a Digital Member but another one for the tally.

he's going to play good games, bad games and nothing games in between. Let's not get too lost in yesterday

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

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.

Any tall defenders worth it here?

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.

great work, glad this wasn't around during the long bomb era

Unfortunate as he spent years trying to shift the "rugby player" tag

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.

Makes sense with Melky/McAdam aging out.

Curious who he would have played over.
