Grr-owl

Was just thinking "Jeez that Timothy Reddan-A'Blew has no sense of humour, bringing MFCSS into this otherwise very positive thread..." and then I woke up. T-RAB crushed it.

Bloke tells me anything to do with horses means Tetanus. Could be that. Otherwise, maybe reps from the Filth had toured the site....

Nothing inside. Empty stables. Actually, there’s a sign up on temporary fencing that warns of contamination of some sort. I’ll get a photo….

If he can slice through the midfield, we’ll witness puree genius.

And some Chernobyl mushrooms nearby, for interest's sake....

Well, not whilst swinging the club if that's what you mean....

C'mon, we're getting back to nature. Keeping ourselves grounded in tradition. Peeing in the scrub is as human as naturally human as it gets. Flushing toilets? That's so Roman... and what have they ever done for us?

Mean. But funny.

With regret, I agree.... Though the more I think about it, the more I wonder if more than one team should go, and the more the regret grow. The dilution argument has credence. The NFL has 32 teams in a population of 350,000,000 or around 11,000,000 people per team. AFL has 18 teams for a population of — let's face it, it's hard to work out given the reality of demographics on the far side of the beyond the Barrassi Line, but how about half of Australia plus possibly a couple million more would choose footy over other codes, so a pool of 16,000,000? That's under 900,000 per team. Given Binman's arguments about the significance of injuries, as well as the elite demands of the game itself, exactly how much bog-average footy do we want to watch? There just ain't that many elite athletes around with bodies that can take what the game demands. I love the fact that athletic young men can earn a good living on an AFL list, but I think list-depth and dilution is a serious issue that grows more obvious with each expansion team.

Existing tunnels are very far from our site. Crossing the track means a 'path' would develop over time. Delicate (and extremely $$$) horse ankles might not appreciate that. Also, there may be psychological value in the boys getting onto the ground through a space that 'echoes' that of going up the race onto the MCG. A sense of occasion, perhaps. I'm kinda joking, but now that my thoughts linger also kinda not.... 🤔

Losing Knuckles initiated a crisis/brought about an opportunity. Apart from CJ's iffy disposal, I'm confident we'll come out in front....
