Chorus x 4: I got the straight sets red and blues. Still better than those black and white poos.

Would Jemma Rigoni become our first father-daughter player for our club?

It is a fascinating topic. I don't have the stats but just feels like some clubs have shifted their drafting strategy to target more local players either draft or trade too. Seeing this with WA and SA teams, and some extent even Geelong. Doesn't seemed to have deterred MFC from drafting lots of interstate players.

Dogs get another tall!

The Magpies have selected Hawthorn NGA product Tew Jiath with pick No.37. Pies involved in close calls again. 3 picks before NGA drafting rules change. Not sure if Hawks were after him but bit rude by them. Any excuse to beat up on them 😁

I can see McVee, Rivers and Windsor combining well for fast ball movement into the forward line.

Absolutely. It's hard beating India in India. They certainly did their homework, seemed a plan for every moment of the match.

Couldn't stay awake unfortunately, good effort to those who did! Well done, Aussies!!!!!!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 WC23 like MFC '21 last 9 games, blitzed them!

Starting to move nicely. Come on boys, let's keep going!

Gee, thought that was a low percentage review. Next ball actually nicks it. Shut me up 🤣😂

Yes!!! Like he read my mind, thought it was time for the captain to step up and bowl few overs. Crowd silenced. Come on Aussies!

Yep. No boundaries but still scoring. Think they will be happy with easy runs then will start to accelerate. Agreed a 270-290 a good effort to restrict them to this. Hopefully bit better and lower than that with the start we've made.

The script is there to be written for Kohli. However, if we break this partnership early we are up to our eyeballs in this 😍

What a catch, Head!!! Loved the Maxxy celebration, Rohit looked ominious, big break through!!!

Look at the sea of blue in the crowd! The noise would be insane!

I missed the start. What was capitano's reasoning to bowl first?

Sometimes the footy gods are cruel.

They need to fix the rules of the clock. Teams can start wasting the time from 10 mins left.

We have a sniff.

Disposal out of half back is killing us. Kicking it straight to Cats.

They score runs seriously fast. Hoping Hazlewood can bowl like he did against SA and dry up runs and make them play rash shots.

I believe these timelines for return to pre-season training is part of players CBA. As posters have said, the club still has expectations on your training, diet and what you do with recreation time when you are in the off-season, pre-season and during the season. Plenty of articles in the past with the likes of Petracca, Gawn, Rivers training early or doing extra stuff in off-season, I think every player would do extra to some extent. Anyway, it's good to at least see BBB up and about and his knees not bandaged.

Here's a great article on Tayla ❤️ https://www.afr.com/companies/sport/aflw-star-tayla-harris-tells-why-she-s-ready-to-sweep-floors-20230828-p5dzyh

Scheer is a big out for Cats.

I think so too. Thought I read somewhere North no longer considering pick 1? WC need multiple picks to speed up their rebuild, Reid a go home risk for them. Same goes for North, need multiple players for their rebuild. We've seen Pies and Lions get high end talent in recent seasons slot straight in and made a difference with Daicos and Ashcroft and if Reid is as good as he's made out to be why not go all out for him? Anyway, I have faith in the MFC to maximise whatever picks we take to the draft.
