Good to hear Luker is on the mend, that was a bit scary to hear how sick he got. And great news about Melksy, Kolt and Knuckle, can't wait to see them back. Poor Marty, hope he's not in too much pain.

Jeez, as a club it seems we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Kate Roffey was pushed out of the presidency for not doing exactly what Brad Green is doing. Is there no satisfying some people?

I was put out by Schwarter getting The Ox, simply because my surname is Oxley, and that was my brother's nickname when he played junior footy!

In all due respect, who the hell has any regard for what that [censored] says?

Players were named as early as December last year, including Kozzy https://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/1705299/huge-names-join-afl-indigenous-all-stars-team-as-tickets-go-on-sale

Point of correction - they had about 3 years of a multicultural round, introduced in 2011, but the concept was abandoned about a decade ago. So no, there is no multicultural round.

The media I believe are muckraking on this one. Interesting how the headlines were very selective about Kozzy's quote - "I'm contracted there", yet, they deliberately left out of the headline what was following - "I'm contracted there. I'm having fun at Melbourne, I love the club." Paints a very different perspective, doesn't it? Also I got intel over the weekend that the texts Kozzy sent to his friends in Perth were sent last year, and was referring to playing in the indigenous team against Freo. Again, paints a very different perspective.

I'd love to have Hoges back right now. I've always had high regard for him. I'm pleased things are working out well for him at the moment.

Then go to training and have a chat with him. He's really open to it at the moment. I've had a couple of chats with him at training, and this report is reflecting pretty much what he's told me in conversation. He's the happiest I've seen him in a long time.

I don't think a lot of people wanted to lose Hogan. Or Harmes.

Chat GTP is optimistic to think Collingwood will make it to the GF, they're geriatric now, the Geelong of 2025.

All the people saying "Hey, not a bad idea!", I hope you weren't the ones bitching and moaning about shorter games with 16 minute quarters during the 2020 Covid season.....

I'm thinking Spare could be a good one for anyone with the name Harry, given the Prince Harry reference of spare.

Just been announced Eliza McNamara has signed a contract extension to end 2026, and Maeve Chaplin to end 2027. Both richly deserved after last season!

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.
