Random MCG Comment; MCG fireworks to return after flammable cladding review Wonder if we still have those fireworks that we were denied to use in Round 1. Fire away lads!

Only locked in my seat in the MCC today, most seats being offered with near the back on Level 4. Will just stand in a terrace on Level 1 as per usual though.

Initial quote already edited. The Dockers' round 11 win at the MCG saw Logue head to May to throw out the Demons' defence in what looked a crafty move before May was substituted with concussion in the second quarter, having impressed early.

They were lucky to play the Manchester United vs Aston Villa game at Optus Oval last Saturday. Saw lots of tweets from people on the other side of the world calling it a swamp aha

I spent the last few days at the snow (make jokes of that if you will), anyway I Saw the Gus announcement on Instagram and then jumped onto Demonland for the first time since Saturday night. Was quite a ride seeing all the gloomy posts knowing the pot of gold would arrive several pages later. Very happy with this signing. Love the Gus!

Didn’t cost us the game or anything but…Medical sub for ‘calf tightness’ - cmon!. Wish we took the p*** out of that rule as much as other teams do.

I wonder if they played Freed from Desire?

Obviously wants best for both clients but they're sort of intertwined together, so curious how it plays out. Not sure how client confidentiality works in that field, but wonder what information/if any he is giving to both players in relation to the other player. Although guess it may be somewhat obvious based on offers going back and forth.

"Frank Lampard has warned that #EFC could face another relegation battle after the club lost 4-0 to MLS side Minnesota United in pre-season." Already panicking, love it.

Yep, Imagine one goes in the summer Wouldn't blame either of them for wanting a regular gig though. Bedford had some good moments, Chandler waiting to really take his chance but he's been a bit unlucky.

Think I recently read that certain WA areas were having stronger price growths than Sydney/Melbourne and with better value for $ etc So a solid investment for him whether he stays or not. If he goes he goes, we'll get something in return - might not end up being as good short or long term as LJ may become BUT LJ helped us break the drought so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cant begrudge him for chasing that paper

Enjoyed this reply, in all he gloom in the thread it reminded me that we are a 'strong Vic club' aha!

Yep, Freo would have a bunch of untouchables but i'm sure they would have some players on long term deals that they may be willing to offer to get LJ on board (if they want him that bad). Need to ask the questions to get the answers (even if it appears unlikely)

Seems BBB and Gus not too bad, which is good as needed vs WB

Maybe they swapped after a session in runners, or maybe those 3 just forgot aha

North meets with AFL to kickstart priority pick request https://www.afl.com.au/news/802765/north-meets-with-afl-to-kickstart-priority-pick-request Currently have 1, 55, 65, 75

Yep the pile on a bit over the top, i get Fritsch burning team mates isn't a great look but personally i don't mind a selfish streak in a forward. As you and others have stated he's consistently contributing with score involvements/goal assists so dont mind the old shot if he's backing himself in.

I wish - look at our last 3 wins over 100 points 1) vs Carlton Round 9, 2018 2) vs Carlton Round 6, 2004 3) vs Richmond, Round 21, 1993 Based on the above, the next 100 point win should be somewhere between 2029-2032

I wasn't sure if this was done due to it being colder in July, but you're right - should have been in the Sir Douglas Nicholls round.

After we lost to Geelong saw quite a few facebook replies having a go at the jumper as if they were blaming it for the loss. Wonder if the Geelong facebook replies were complimenting their Retro Jumper for getting them the win aha. At the end of the day we wore it 2 times in the Sir Doug Nicholls Round/s (one away, one home) and then we wore it last week as it was NAIDOC week. Wearing it in the NT seems rather fitting? Let's win this week and then the top can rest in neutrality with a 2-2 record.

Turner would be the beneficiary here i'd imagine, maybe something to consider in 2023 - Wouldn't change the backline too much this season

Strange career he has had; from the backline to the forward line to potentially heading out the door to a premiership to then being a key missing cog

Does a GOAT have a thumb? Not sure of the logistics of the hoof . At least a decent break until our next game.

A few poor performances, won’t be the last time we lose in Geelong. Big lift needed for the remainder of the season for top 4, but as we saw last year, not over until the final kick .

Carlton Draught run something called the Carlton Draft wherein a bunch of recently retired players get drafted for 1 game to struggling country/regional teams (who have nominated for the chance to get the opportunity). So a feel good story for the small club and they can get some press and some good canteen takings etc. Also basically an extended advertisement for Carlton Draught - Additionally who doesn't like wordplay. This year it was as follows; Alex Rance: May 14 at Campbells Creek Eddie Betts: May 22 at Branxholme Wallacedale Dale Thomas: June 4 at Nhill Tigers Shaun Burgoyne: June 11 at Dalyston Jarryd Roughead: June 18 at Gormandale Nathan Jones: July 9 at Portarlington Brendon Goddard: July 9 at North Wangaratta Cam Mooney: July 23 at Longwood
