Not sure if it has been mentioned but any thoughts about La Trobe uni? Matildas have their home base there I believe. Loads of space, great facilities. Links to uni sports science wouldn’t go astray. Win win?

Where’s Caleb Windsor in that line up? Don’t mind Bailey Sniff but much prefer Caleb who is, and will be, an absolute gun.

Next year? Have you seen Essendon’s draw this year? Ten (in a row) of their last eleven games in Melbourne. Me thinks Scotty still has some mates at AFL House.

Yep great sportsman. Got to play at the top level in both sports. I first went to Dees games in the late 60s so I saw a lot of Max. Footy was different then. Six games, all on a Saturday, all starting at the same time. Shock, horror! Mind you, players would also light up a dart at the 3/4 time huddle, so many things have changed for the better. Although the Dees were pretty average one thing that was constantly enjoyable was that Collingwood would invariably finish near top at the end of home and away, but always lose the GF. Sweet.

An interesting stat or a boomer with too much time on his hands? But….. we have played Freo and lost in three games at almost the exact time of the season since 2022. Round 11 in both ‘22 & ‘23 and round 12 this year. I remember going to the MCG games and noting how cooked we seemed. Round 12 at the Alice was like watching a team with concrete in their boots. Binman’s loading theory looking sound.
