Didn't Gus give Blake Howes the nickname Halfway, as in Halfway Howes? And I thought it was going to be Ed Langdon = Lingers, and Harvey Langford = Langers.

We miss him :(

Conversation I had with AJ at the Family Day on Monday at Casey Fields: Me - "I heard on the grapevine that your nickname up in Albury was Peaches" AJ - (look of surprise/amusement) "Yeah, it was. How did you know that?" Me - "Friend of mine in the Demon Army from Albury told me". AJ - "Wow, nothing is hidden from you lot!!" Genuinely lovely fellow.

I think Beazo will be back next season, but Aimee I think it weighing up her options, and possibly going to be prioritising Gaelic. I think.

I'm not sure if this is something Freo have brought up or the West Australian, and yes, it's a non-issue, because they're only referring to his exit interview last October where he stated he is homesick at times, but the media conveniently left out that he is happy with the way the club handles that, and allows him time to go home on occasion. What new information is there now? None! It the rag of a newspaper being mischievous. Again.

The Demon Man is the only thing keeping me engaged in tennis this year, everyone else seems more intent on off court dramas that it’s turned the AO into the Grand Slam version of Married at First Sight - everyone more interested in creating drama for [censored] and giggles that we’ve all forgotten what the whole point of the event is.

I did notice yesterday Vines is growing a rather Todd-like mullet himself, I think soon he’ll need the Todd headband! Complete the look of his old man :)

Ryleigh Wotherspoon's mother told me she signed a two year contract to the end of 2025 when she was drafted.

Cool, I did post it on my Twitter as well, hope this works better

I know, just awful. I can’t imagine experiencing something like that. Makes my blood run cold thinking about it. Poor Troy.

Thank you for sharing it, @Ghostwriter, I wanted to make that one special. If anyone who doesn’t have TikTok and can’t see it, please let me know, I can post an alternative link.

Thank you for that extra bit! Eight re-signings just announced with Megan Fitzsimon, Grace Beasley, Saraid Taylor and Georgia Gall on 2 year contracts, and Denby Taylor, Jacinta Hose and Alyssia Pisano on for one year. Fantastic news is that Tahlia Gillard has signed on for 3 years! Woohoo!

He has to live up to his nickname, I believe.

Sadly, yes. There were some whoppers. David Rennick and I joked afterwards that it was MFC’s fault Trump got elected, the club has so much power over controlling roadworks in Cranbourne.

Children under 18 can’t vote…..

Added bonus is that Amelia and Maggie are close friends, having played representative school hockey together for Victoria in the School Sports Vic team (much like how Clarry and Trac became friends). Maggie comes from Ruyton, Amelia from Lauriston. As an old girl of St Catherine’s, I’m reserving judgment in the schooling!

Melbourne have just announced re-signings from Gabby Colvin, Lauren Pearce, Sarah Lampard, Paxy Paxman and Tayla Harris. No doubt more to come.

Sounds like a clear cut footy act, really. Evidence of a [censored] culture at Melbourne. Anyone told Sam Manure yet?

I was thinking that. I was wondering if it was an agreement struck between Melbourne and Gold Coast, to ensure she gets to the Gold Coast.

Yeah, fair point. Nonetheless, Tay wanted to stay, and I'm glad she's now able to. It's a crappy situation to put players in, tbh.

I'd go so far as to say that Melbourne and Hawthorn had a very informal hypothetical chat, Melbourne asking do you reckon Tayla would be worth pick 14, Hawthorn said no, the conversation was dead early last week and the media decided to spread it out and create a non-existent story. I don't think Melbourne and Hawthorn have been seriously discussing it.

This. I spoke to Tayla at the B&F on Saturday, she told me she wanted to stay, but it wasn't up to her. Going by Todd Paterson's comments, I take that as Tayla telling me the truth. Regardless, I'm pleased she's staying, and I daresay so is she.

This is his first comment after he was called out: "Mate, just think about it. Why on earth would Kolt say that to a supporter about another player, in the same week his contract is spoken about on the forum. And if Kolt, as a 1st 12 mth player, is actually saying that about other players and their relationships to supporters at a training da he needs to pull his head in. Play it through in your head. Seems like a fanciful fairytale to me. I might well be wrong but I bet even you doubt I am." Yeah, I'm struggling how you can interprete this the way you're claiming.....

I think you're making a completely different interpretation of what's happening here. You claim he was "happy to be proven wrong", no such occurance is evident. What is evident, though, is not only him doubling down, but then chucking a pity party for himself.
