I don’t know how many times I can explain this on here but it’s not Zurich’s fault with Gus. If anything it is unfair dismissal. The AFL stopped his career during a preseason he was completing. Zurich are only compelled to pay for certain measurable things like loss of limb or eyes. It’s not a Personal Accident claim. Gus should sue Maynard personally and then Zurich would likely pay under their professional Indemnity policy I have a bit of knowledge in this space

I think Viney will have a say in that

I dont’t think Guera has shortcomings. Richardson I question

The good news is Brad Green was atop footballer. a top captain and a top president who agreed to seamless transfer of presidency for the club. Legend.

I’m a fan of the Guera era. Not sure what this bloke is actually doing but he will have a strong purpose. All our appointments so far have been spot on since Guera came on (even slightly before) when he was working in the back ground

Same the funny thing is I expected Langford to be the hard one and X to be the better kick. It’s almost the opposite I’m not saying Langford is soft but he seems to be one of the most elite kicks I’ve seen and X puts his body on the line in every contest.

I don’t think Neitz or Yze punched above their weight. They are legends of the footy club and both looked like doing it from the day they started. Bernie Vince was an aging superstar when he came . Sam Frost was a liability but in a hopeless era at least he brought some dare and flare to the club. Robbo maybe I could agree with but he kicked a lot of goals.

I can spell his name but every time I type on this bloody phone it changes the words with the worst auto correct ever. I’m on a hatrick like Boland will be on Boxing Day

I haven’t thought of Peterson for a long time. We should hire his as a development coach solely to work with JVR

Demonland is full of differing opinions but Perderson was universally loved on here. Besides Max thats unsusual.

That was just the goals, his field kicking was off the charts. He surely goes into the midfield this year and will be much more damaging in his new role that suits him more. He is going to be a weapon.

The VFL is not what is once was and it’s a shame. I have no idea why so many players from the SAFNFL got drafted this year it is normally depth only and lucky at that. Players have come through the VFL system who dominated, I can think of one that played for Casey and got onto Melbourne’s list who kicked 6 goals in a grand final

Send him one back of Jordan Lewis

I don’t know how you can be more flamboyant with ball when you go bang, bang, bang in a grand final We obviously went too defensive since but we have traded out our best players who lost their chemistry

I randomly caught a train and was sitting opposite a really young lady kitted out in Melbourne gear so I asked her about the dees. She said she worked in the finance department. When she realised I wasn’t just trying to flirt with her and knew what I was talking about she said Kozzie has gone to another level with Latrelle there and will play mostly midfield. He will dominate this year barring injury or suspension

It’s a bit rough to call our only premiership coach in 50 years an underachiever.

I went to a fundraising night and Steven Powell’s match worn jumper got put up for auction. It was a boozy night and my uncle went in with the first bid that was ridiculous and the entire room went silent in disbelief. Then I would go to the footy with him the following year and his young daughters (at the time) would be wearing it and spilling pies and tomato sauce all over it

I’m around the same age and wore 9 for Alan Johnson. Both of them have proved to be pretty good numbers for us

With social media ban kicking in for under 16’s we might see an influx of youth

Probably Sillvani.

I will never forget Brown’s son coming off the bench as sub in the last 1/4 and winning us the game with a fierce tackle. That is culture building and unites the club old boys who are passionate about the club. Essendon who have been hopeless since the Sheedy era gifted Davey 100 games in the end because he has so many sons. That was clever. We took Kalani very late and nobody else bid on him. I’ve read on here that he has 2 younger brothers that are better and posters on Demonland are never wrong so it must be true

Roos no doubt wanted Brayshaw. I have a feeling Todd Viney might have been influential in a few picks as well. But since we got JT our drafting has improved significantly. Kozzie is one of the best players in the league and he was panned on Demonland for going early on him. Langford is going to be a superstar and he was criticised for being too slow. Has anyone noticed the pace of all the draft picks and recruits since? That is clever to help Langford become the best player in the league.

Langford did some incredible things in his first year, it don’t know if it’s damning if he turns into a superstar and it looks like he could I would have liked to put Chandler at number 5 but I have no idea what King has planned for him. CJ or Steele could easily end up in there but I guess only time will tell. If cuz Koz does we will be a lot better than anyone expects next year

Gawn, Pickett, Langford and Windsor. I guess we have to wait to see who makes up the top 5

Don’t forget Kiddy Coleman he almost single handily won them the premiership in 2023 where he was clearly best on ground in the prelim and would have won the norm smith if the shot he took from 60m out in last quarter went through. It went through the behinds post height but just missed. He is only 25 will be 26 next year. They are going to be hard to beat for years unless they have a Melbourne like implosion.
