Got a nice shady spot under a tree in the outer. It’s a gorgeous morning to watch the footy but a hot one if you’re playing.

I'm looking forward to seeing how our forwards AJ and Jeffo go but am a little concerned that without some of our best midfielders involved how often the ball will get down there. Some opposition sides virtually walked the ball out of the centre in the back end of last season.

If the AFL have a plan to build 260 ovals around the country why would they spend $20m buying an oval that's already there as part of those plans?

Since the media made it a thing. I can't believe the one surviving grandstand there is actually a listed building.

At an away QB game we got seats up in the nosebleeds near Daisy Pearce, her husband and twins and they left at half time because of the abuse. They are the scum de la scum of the AFL.

This is one topic that absolutely should be raised at an AGM. It sounds like we’re all royally f’d off with the great unwashed infiltrating our members areas.

I've stopped going to the away games against them as they're unbearable pond scum. Don't count on them not getting into our own members areas though. There are plenty of them that go to club functions or have access to sponsored boxes that end up taking empty seats in our areas. MCG staff that are there to police this do nothing and our own supporters are generally too polite to say or do anything. Could you imagine an oppo supporter trying to sit in the Sherrin Stand at Victoria Park back in the day? They'd be lynched.

Kane Cornes is the world's only living brain donor.

For what it's worth I'm gonna go with @Dannyz summing up of the situation and expect he'll be out the door at seasons end. Anything else will be a bonus.

I respectfully disagree GW. Our club has been a walking headline for at least the last 12 months and Goody said himself recently it has been an unwanted distraction. With BP5 & Clarry's issues now in the rear view mirror (hopefully) we don't need another needless headline that will now be brought up by the press throughout 2025. Goody and JVR have already been asked about it in interviews and we haven't played our first game yet. It's poor form to be liking social media posts speculating or declaring he'll be at a rival club next year. More so if he's expecting the club to release him from a contract he signed only a year ago. Respect works both ways.

Relax. RFK Jnr is in charge now.

One of the brother boys told me Kozzie is just stirring the pot. If that’s true, awesome. But someone needs to school Koz on what’s funny and what’s not. Freo signing Dudley reeks of complete desperation by them. If they're desperate, then they can cough up two early first round picks as a starting point. What if it's just a switch & bait set up by Koz to get all his relatives onto an AFL list with Freo being the perennial rubes? Now that would be funny!

Did you hear all the batßhit crazy stuff being asked at the last AGM titan? Your reasonable question has no chance of being raised unless it's by you in person.

I said the other day that someone in the media should call him out on his posts and they did just that. For someone that doesn't like attention he has a funny way of trying to avoid it.

Was he helped off or walk unaided? (sorry, too soon?)

If the club follow him online the least they can do is give these posts a thumbs down or vomit emoji.

If he did it would be gone by the time he'd finished.

Thanks BBP. Yes, you're absolutely right. We went down by 6 goals or so at Marvel. I was there and now remember it.

If you're looking for good omens we last played North there in a practice game in 2021.

Empty vessels....

Aside from the perennial miserable old git or two I find DL to be a pretty good space to talk about the Dees. I'd much rather read a slightly embellished training report on here than anything that passes for the fourth estate these days.

Mouths for hire throwing darts.

A nice feel good media snippet. I feel the same optimism.

Speaking of practice matches does anyone know what time the North game is supposed to start on Saturday 22 February?
