The Jackson FIX

I was standing right next to the bench for the first quarter (until moved on by security) and Melksham has coach written all over him, possibly already focusing on transitioning this season the way he was barking instructions back at the bench.

Bailey Laurie, possibly Jake the snake.

I’d be surprised (pleasantly) if we’re not experiencing some form of wobbles in some part of the round by the time he is due back, with his experience and hard edge happily welcomed

Does this really need its own thread?

The whining on this thread is extraordinary, even for Denonland! Crack a smile people, footy is back this weeke…. Oh &”$#% I forgot, <insert moan about Round Zero>

Steven May’s retirement lunch at Entrecôte goes off without a hitch. The next day though, in an apparently unrelated incident, Jake Melkshan gets hand surgery after being bitten by his dog.

It’s complicated.

Fritta missing makes it 7 out of 11 of our top possession-getters in our last proper-season AFL match will not be in our side in Rd 1.

The dogs are a couple of schmackos lighter after Michael Christian’s review. He suspended Jeremy Howe’s dogs for a similar act all those years ago. Typical.

There is a picture of them with family at the event on Dees socials?

I’m hearing this year he is going to name the R1 half back line

I know nothing about this guy. Who does he play like? How old? Etc

Think Ah Mu is on Vermont’s list? Also hearing May to East Ringwood so that could be a fun match up out in the east this yr.

Reckon there’d be more than a fair few carpark-loving VRC members that would be pretty upset about that. I give us more chance of making the MCG our base than I do this.

I think it is reasonable for people to feel disappointed that a promising key forward started to show some signs has a potentially significant injury
