If you think Langford looked depressed being picked up by Melbourne, who recalls Tanner Bruhn's reaction when his name was called up for GWS?

Langford is definitely media ready judging by his interviews. Leo Lombard on the other hand. Needs to learn that interviews aren’t done at the pub or at your mates house.

You know Trent Rivers is making a name for himself when a draftee (Travaglia) is likened to him.

When he wins his first Brownlow I hope he acknowledges the MFC for giving him his first opportunity.

Yep, it's something you need to commit to 9 months earlier. Flights are now expensive but not "let's get a second mortgage to finance it" expensive. Accommodation in Adelaide CBD is a joke . You need to book immediately when the dates come out mid year or even predict the dates (ie - always mid week of Easter school holidays) and book before the announcement. Probably best to drive over and stay a night or 2 in the suburbs.

After listening to his interview on SEN, all 18 sets of supporters would love to give this guy a chance as a late pick. Went from not getting a game for Albury to Liston VFL medal winner as a 27 year old. Apparently recently wrote a letter to all 18 clubs and is the type of bloke that won’t accept no for an answer. Could be this year’s Sean Mannagh (or could simply not be an AFL standard player??)

AFL #14 in scoring is a sure way of being removed from prime time.

Clearly Gather Round as you can realistically see 6-7 games on a weekend. Anyone who bags it hasn't attended it. Might also head over for the Adelaide game as it's in the middle of school holidays. As much as I love a GC footy trip, I don't want to go to the GC game as I don't want to be the one responsible for our first loss up there since the Neil Craig tenure!

I'm really bad at detecting sarcasm, so not sure if you're serious but I'd have Matt Owies in a heart beat over McAdam.

He might have the break out year some may have expected for 2024. He looked really good in the opening game until he did his shoulder.

Yeah that South Sea bloke who said Kozzie had requested a trade also said that McAdam is on the verge of retirement. Sounds like there might be something in this.

I can’t remember a season that we travelled just one less time than Collingwood.

I think the Dogs, St Kilda and extra Carlton home games meant the AFL had no choice but to send us to Marvel to make up the numbers. Pert was trumpeting to the members at the end of 2020 that we'd increased our MFC home game schedule to 10 for the first time since 2010 (according to my research). It was seen as an achievement at the time - that we were the only MCG tenant that didn't host a game at Marvel. A bit of comms would be good to explain why we're back at Marvel.

Bad things happen when we play Collingwood.... He's a critical out for the first 3 games. Hopefully we're fit, rejuvenated and can absorb his loss in the early rounds.

I wonder if Foxtel will still be around in 10-20 years, or whether it will be either 100% streaming or free to air tv as your options.
