Love it. We should have an MFC presence in international arrivals ready to hand over a supporters pack to every ‘New Australian’ emigrating to our state.

WC think they’re kingmakers? Let them keep pick 1 and all their later rubbish picks and we’ll look forward to another 10 goal win at Optus next year.

If this money falls outside the salary cap it might help keep the girls squad together for at least another season or two.

A few passages from the article without copying the entire story. Demons coach Simon Goodwin’s quick thinking has saved a man’s life in Bali, coming to the rescue after the man dislocated his shoulder. Goodwin was in Bali after the end of the AFL season and surfing with mates including 1993 premiership winner Rick Olarenshaw on the island of Nusa Ceningan. The Herald Sun reported that a young man jumped off a cliff into the water but dislocated his shoulder. The Demons coach rushed over to the man and dragged him onto the surfboard and took him to safety beyond the break. Goodwin then flagged down a passing jet ski and helped the man onto it to get him to safety. The father jumped in the water to help his son, and recognised Goody and started talking footy. Goody’s response was let’s save his son first then chat about footy later. Goody showed a lot less bravery when a sea snake came across his path.

If some on here are to be believed it’ll just end up going up their noses anyway.

There's no reason to think that Fishermen's Bend won't end up as the same soulless, windswept, high-rise concrete wasteland occupied by short term overseas students that have little or no interest in our indigenous game, just like the Docklands precinct currently is. Anyone that doesn't think this is giving too much credit to urban planners, developers and politicians.

Sheez. It looks like we're back to debating this again now that the Claz & Smithy threads have been taken down. If Caulfield is the preferred option it would be good to include the facilities required to play pre-season AFLM and in season AFLW games here as well as you'd think it would see a sizeable increase in gate figures on the back of it's far superior transport links when compared to Cranbourne.

Is there an updated ladder for this? It's not even on the AFL website from what I can see. There's a chance that the % difference between us and Brisbane may well be too great even if they beat us in Round 10.

Or perhaps the Great Pacific Gyre (or it's cloud based equivalent) where all the world's rubbish (threads) end up waiting to be collected and repurposed into a less toxic narrative.

What happened to the Cultural Issues at the Dees thread? I’ve just finished a quality sesh at a microbrewery in East Brunswick to find it has disappeared?

Hawthorn appear to be accumulating more NQR tat than the bargain basement at Dimmeys.

Don’t know about the change of scenery angle. He’s a footballer not a landscape painter. Although it looks like he’ll save us a bit of Monet.

Exactly. The poor wee lamb.

The AFLPA need to get on the front foot with this and set up a support group in each major city to help players deal with the trauma of being a 1 hour flight away from their mum.

It wasn’t long ago that Lachie Neale was apparently very keen to get back to WA again until suddenly he wasn’t. Things change.

I don’t know if Cranbourne is Amish country but we need a good old barn raising so that our forwards can spend their summer trying to hit the side of it.

His head would explode. I like it.

Future 3rd + signed Harry Petty 2021 (or 2024 future) premiership guernsey with certificate of authenticity.

Perhaps this has been dropped as a distraction from the fact there's SFA happening in trade week.

I'd prefer the recent tradition of opening our season with a big win against the dogs at the G.

I'd keep Petty if only to spite Kane Cornes.

Just got home and turned on the game. What's with the air raid siren at the end of the quarter?

Definitely a joke ET. I would never suggest we trade Sparrow and Brayshaw. Swallow and Bradshaw on the other hand.....

Pick 6, Swallow and Bradshaw.
