Smith out for 8-10 weeks, unlucky lad. Had a few too many drinks at the game on Saturday and not sure how it happened. Can someone clarify?

In 92/93 I decided I go for Manchester United (Red Devils) because of Melbourne Demons - with the demon/devil link. During that time United have won the league (13 times), the league cup (4 times), the fa cup (5 times), the Champions League (2 times), the Europa League, Intercontinental Cup and the Club World Cup - in comparison the Demons have won 1 Flag and 1 AFLX trophy.

I know it won't happen, but theoretically where would they go?

Can't win them all, not going to slate him too much for it, in the GF he jostled on the line perfectly for Sparrow's goal. Doubt can creep in though I guess in terms of placement. Reminds me of the Quarter finals of the Champions League in 2003 poor Pipo Inzaghi chipped the keeper and was already celebrating the dramatic late winner and didn't realise Jon Dahl Tomasson had poked it over on the line aha.

COVID is just quite the mischief maker with these threads, lots of interesting discussion thrown out by last minute covid withdrawals BBB into Joel Smith into Lever/Viney into Petty/Kozzy/Jackson/Sparrow/ANB As said above if anyone on the list can make it back into the game without training, its ANB he's a jet. A good way of keeping everyone rested and on their toes selection wise tho aha.

Relieved to have only seen a couple of somewhat negative posts on social media from our fanbase. Previously you'd see some "WIN A FLAG then do A/B/C" type behavior , some real suspect individuals on the internet. Won't be buying the jumper (still need to get last year's signed and framed) but hoping for some further Narrm FC products.

Gus & Gawny Podcast isn't on this week, was Gus spotted at training yesterday?

Drove by this morning and they had rolled out grass on half the ground at this stage Guess that Mid/Late May Date seems on target.

One of my close friends is a Hawks fan and he's still haunted by Milkshakes goal from 2018 finals campaign Maybe a repeat?

7 pages about to become relatively obsolete

Assuming Luke Jackson and Toby Bedford could be 2 of them based on Toby's Instagram Story.

Pretty fitting he'll be coaching against the Hawks!

I have Paramount for the A-League, the catalogue isn't as good or deep as Binge/Stan/Netflix/Prime etc; so i can see Ten/Paramount pushing extremely hard for the footy.

Exactly. Personally, if i made a habit conning the umpires, I would simply not go on a media program talking about how I con umpires

We've all wanted a run of Weid in the side and now he's played a handful, the real test now is how he gels/works with BBB. Hope he takes it.

They can change this by the Final team listing tomorrow can't they? Also well done Jayden on 100 games.

Yep had a look then and sold out already, good for the club! Had a look and mine auto-renewed in October, glad that happened cos I definitely would have spaced it out a little, bought last years in June

Cody Weightman on SEN this morning "I'm very comfortable to continue doing what I'm doing, and I don't think it's going to affect my game. "I think I do have the ability to draw free kicks, and I think that's a skill set rather than a flop or whatever you call that." Wonder how that's going to work out for him

Poor BBB a few weeks too late for him, ended up missing 3 games when you facture in his suspension.

We only like kicking 1 way then aha

You'd think with streaming services we'd get more options to do this, would be good to see. (Also an option with no commentary aha)

Was always going to be a hard task to follow up on the 2021 indigenous jumper,

This is how I see it to, Hunt has some deficiencies but offers something different. Bowey/Salem/Rivers are beautiful kicks but Hunt has the explosive pace. Don't envy the selection panel. Hunt wanting to make up on missing the GF but also playing for a new contract, will be very motivated. As is the case for Joel Smith. At times theyre criticized on here but Harmes/Viney been very good this year which makes it difficult to just re-arrange Gus/Jordon both of whom have been fantastic - which adds a further layer of complication.

Agree with what you've said. It's not just a problem for this sporting code, recently seen articles about hockey/netball/soccer all having referee shortages. I'm involved in a local soccer club and dread the Friday afternoon email saying no referee assigned to certain games. How can it be fixed though? They're trying this method (over-punishing dissent )which may get the players in line but not going to stop someone from the crowd getting lippy. In the rugby codes the players have more respect for the referee, but not always from the crowd. Respect/lack of dissent from the players won't stop the issue of referee/umpire -shortages at local level, especially post covid when lots of people may have dropped out of these roles.
