Yep.

1cm shorter than Langdon and 1kg heavier. Play consistently? Not sure if you mean performance or actually playing, but he's barely missed a game for 4 years and was in the AA squad last year. You sure you're thinking of the right player?

Nah, he's a winger mate. May have played some forward time early on, but has played the wing for a few years now.

Has the same career goal average as Ed Langdon. Could just be wingers don't kick many.

TBF, he only missed 1 Casey game while being sub all those games as far as I recall.

I believe it was Nathan Jones who made it up because he thought he looked like a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel...

Fair enough! Wasn't meant to come across as a crack, more just in case others (like me) got nervous for a moment given players coming out with COVID and close contacts and all that.

It's from 2 years ago..

Just quietly, Tomlinson held this record before he was injured last year...

But they got you to watch didn't they? That's the era we're in currently, engagement is king. Doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative, it's all needed, analysed and monetized. Unfortunately, especially in the current climate, negative engagement is so much more powerful and easy. Instead of getting frustrated watching how it is, just vote with your feet - both on TV and online. Engagement data is the only thing that will actually change anything.

You might be correct there mate.

Finding somewhere suitable.

Don't want to open the can of worms about it again, but I wouldn't expect to see any kind of 'social club' like you're hinting at there. It's just not a sustainable business idea for our football club, and probably most of them really. I could see us aligning ourselves with a local venue a bit more properly once we've settled somewhere though. Much better to tie in with an existing hospitality business with group buying power, marketing, admin etc. than to try and run one ourselves where the customer demographic is very very small and you'd only expect reasonable trade 1 day a week for 6 months of the year.

Yep, and the 'leaked' plan involving Yarra Park didn't exactly do us any favours at the time.

The stated preference is to have admin and football departments in the one building. Ticks that off. I'm not necessarily advocating for it as a concept or think it will happen, but it covers off the above along with being in the MCG precinct and lets us make the most of redeveloping Gosch's too.

Gosch's is literally across the road. Use Punt Rd for admin, MFC shop, fitness and rehab, skills, community events - then cross the road for match sim etc.

Can't see us going there personally. IMO we'll either have a bit of a 'good as it gets' option near the G or we'll have something state of the art out at Casey. Neither is what I'd have top of my wishlist, but I'm resigned to either one of those realistically.

Hawks are spending a bit over $100m on their Dingley one apparently, and that's meant to be pretty amazing, so don't reckon we'd need anywhere near $500m.
