I'll point out where I disagree with your "Mithen has to go" sentiment, is in her morale building. I had a chat with my sponsored player, Gabby, about the season, and she was absolutely emphatic about what the turnaround in the team was to go from four losses in a row to winning five out the of the next six matches - Gabby said a bit part of it was Lily. She set the tone in building back the morale, she played a massive role in changing mindsets, and Gabby was very clear in saying that if Lily wasn't there, the'd have lost a lot more games after that Essendon game. Morale was so low after the Essendon game, and was low after the Hawthorn game. Who turned them around? Lily.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last paragraph of this article does not read like someone who wants to leave Melbourne for the Gold Coast - https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1262261/theres-more-to-life-lily-mithen-on-stopping-her-emotional-rollercoaster

Point of correction, Maggie Caris left football for netball, she plays for Melbourne Vixens

That story sounds familiar, actually! My brother and sister in law did the same, their first son was a February baby, so in the October the year before they enrolled him as a member. His pack came in the mail as "Baby Oxley". Later on the club rang and said "We don't have a name for your baby", to which Andrew replied, "He was only born yesterday, but his name is Samuel.". Sam's been a consecutive member since, next year will be his 25th year.

I didn't get one, I just logged in and did it.

As a fellow human born with lily white, almost transluscent skin, I totally get it!

I'm going to miss being your go-between!! Good to have you back :)

Better that than Mt Disappointment!!! 🤣

Jules being Tahlia Gillard, one presumes?

1. Kate Hore 2. Tyla Hanks 3. Eliza McNamarra 4. Maeve Chaplin 5. Sinead Goldrick With special mention of Blaithin Mackin (if only she didn't get injured)

I've been to the 30+ year function for the last 3 years. It's usually held in the Yarra Park function room at the MCG before the match, free drinks, free food, club staff (including CEO and Pres) addressing the guests, as well as a handful of non-playing members, and they also offer seats in the reserved seat area for guests on the second level of the Olympic Stand, although I've always gone back down to the Demon Army after the function.

I'm hoping it's a case of media muckraking yet again. Remember it was only a year or so ago the media were adamant Paxy was going to seek a trade to Fremantle.

I miss the old Luna Park ones

OMFG, I can't unsee it now!

Campbell did very well in that ruck role this year when Loz got injured.

Then don't feed the vultures.

About 18 years ago I was working at Northland Secondary College, at the time the largest provider of education for koori kids in Melbourne. Quite a few of the kids and teachers were involved in Fitzroy All Stars, both in their football and netball programs. It's massive in the koori community in Melbourne.

I am the very proud niece of the then head of Olympic Park trust, Alan Oxley, who famously told Eddie that he wasn't allowed to name Olympic Park the Bob Rose Oval. Boy did Eddie chuck the biggest wobbly over that! Well done, Uncle Alan!!!

That would be delicious

Fitzroy All Stars is a community club specifically for Aboriginal players and competes in the NFNL. Like any community club I doubt being coach would be a highly paid role.

Agreed, I think it's too soon to see someone else in 10 just yet.

Banno!!

Do we know yet the numbers for Campbell, Sharp, Johnson and Mentha?

I have a long memory.....

Yep!! For that! for Wallace to claim all the damage, and then NOT MISS A GAME OF FOOTBALL is to me incredulous.
