Stiff Arm

Is anyone really surprised? Typical AFL manufactured outcome, Just like the Maynard ruling that let him play in the Grannie. Don't rock the boat, don't do what's right at the expense of magpie fans The AFL boys club is so [censored] predictable, even a 10 year old could guess their next move It's what will eventually drive me away from the game for good

It's not like you to be a touch over the top in your posts, Picket! Should the club look for a site within 1km of your house? After all, your pulitzer worthy training reports are what we all want!

Super impressed that he's staying with the Vineys and that Kolt is keenly watching Jack's habits on and off the field. Thank god that the old days are gone when Chunk was our only mature leader. Our club is now bursting with leadership players

Great photos as usual. Thanks 666 Rivers looks like he has zero fat on him, Woey as well. Intensity is high. I know it's just December, but the boys look like they've come back in great knick. What's that saying about no premierships are won in preseason, but they can certainly be lost due to a bad summer.

What a well-spoken kid he is, seems mature beyond 18 and very level headed. I like that he's not much into social media. And not a single "yeah nah", "like" or "y'know" to be heard! Hope his on-field is as impressive as his off-field Thanks for sharing the interview

You should be senior coach, seem to have all the answers. And a people-person too boot!

Nice work, Detective Picket Do you wear camo to hide in the bushes around the Casey ground?

Ha! That's going to be your go-to quote every time you get told off, isn't it dazz? 🤣

Spargypants could retrain as a jockey

So according to The Age article, an academy or f/s would need to use a pick in the round a bid is placed to be matched, either current year or a future pick. Not next year, of course, because picks have already been traded. But guess what?... just in time for Kalani White in 2025 draft! Once again the goal posts are shifted and we come out losers Coll, GCS and WB must be howling with laughter at the thought of this, given their great hauls under previous rules

Premiership year highlights

I think we might see young Woey jnr force his way into the side more this year. Looks fit and now has the body to match. Very coachable kid too, from all accounts. Good on him

Especially the current board, led by a person noted throught her career for getting big projects off the ground

I think we will win the flag in 2024. But it requires a number of things, not limited to: - very good run with injuries, particularly R18 onwards - Clarry to get his act together and do what Clarry does best - McQualter to fit in seamlessly to the FD and add new insight to our forward entries and set up In the very slim chance we do not make finals, there will be some significant list changes, most notably senior coach

Not to my recollection. Olympic Park came after Coll took what is now Lexus Centre. Ridiculing the work Joe Gutnik did in saving the club is almost treason. We had no finances at the time to invest in the old olympic swimming pool, the books from then show that. He stopped the merger and put in the single biggest donation the club is ever likely to see. Sure, he wasn't perfect, didnt fit the typical footy following stereotype, perhaps ran it his corperate way, which may have been required at the time. And the real estate investments he made are the reason we are now financially independent. But posters claiming to know the inner machinations of the board from that era without being on the board are just big-noting contrarians spreading hearsay. Not saying that about you Diamond Jim, btw. Just a follow on from previous comments to yours

There's usually parking along Alexandra Ave and a short walk over Morrell pedestrian Bridge straight to Goshes paddock

I read that the Coll Olympic oval is undergoing resurfacing, and while that happens they will, for a while, use Goshes Paddock

And the Casey area?

Not very good with surveying an oval down Geelong way

Like the look of him. Runs very hard, good awareness coming out of congestion, neat decision maker Needs to eat a 🥩 for breakfast, lunch and dinner and hit the gym over summer.

How dare you have a differing view! I'd be wrapped if Kolt developed into the dangerous small/med goal kicking forward that we are so lacking atm. I sit at the G with someone who screams every time ANB fumbles and stuffs up an opportunity. It's quite entertaining to watch
