PREGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
‘And water is wet. News and sport at 11.’ The club would hope to have the next ruck on the list and we should use this year to see if it is Heath. He can also learn to play forward which will be more and more important with these new ruck rules. But Max and the club can continue to want AA jackets if they want, I just don’t care in a year when we will win 8 games.

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
Contrary to popular nonsense on here they just need to lower their eyes and stop wishing for the world. No, fans should not be the focus. No, co-location of the suits should not be a focus. Get an elite base for the athletes and FD to congregate near where they live and focus on that.

Bayley Fritsch Contract Talks
I’m sorry, I’m unfamiliar with this revision of history. Seems to be made of straw. He was excellent in that game. He needs to do more now that we don’t have bulls in the midfield getting him silver service. Transition off the HB is again - where the game is won and lost - he needs to be better

The level of self-delusion here is startling. It’s bordering on fan fiction. ‘No, no, they can’t be incompetent and misaligned… it’s actually 4D chess and they have already done it twice over. Yes, that’s it.’

Where has this Culley in the ruck stuff come from?

Sacrilege-is Max hurting our future development?
The fact is that we had two great ruckmen on the list in 2023 and the skipper refused to put much effort into making that two good ruckmen in the team and for him to work out how to kick a couple goals a game and solve our debilitating forward structural issues. The view that Goodwin should never have pushed for Grundy is spot on but that doesn’t atomise all blame from Max for that sihtshow. Personally, I would put effort into Heath as a forward ruck for three reasons; rucks that can go forward are increasingly important in a world of rotation limits, Gawn’s successor should be on the list now so let’s play him, and JVR should be given the opportunity to play as a true CHF and work into a game and not be pulled into the ruck.

Yes, good is the enemy of perfection. And We should always remember that progress is not good enough, and if you can’t fix everything, you shouldn’t fix anything. And also that having suitable training facilities for elite athletes is JUST AS IMPORTANT as fans being placated with seating for the short period of time that a number come to watch training.

- PREGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
Can we not call Fritsch a ‘tall’, @adonski? An angel dies everytime someone says that aloud. He may play ‘taller’ defensively because he is lazy, doesn’t chase, et al. But you cannot kick it to him like a tall so he ain’t. I think Gawn should begin to play with an understudy, especially with other forwards injured making JVR someone we should be keeping in the forward line as much as we can. Heath should play.- Vale Dennis Cometti
He was the best. My childhood is narrated by Cometti. And Rex Hunt before he was problematic. “(Name) with delusions of adequacy” after a simple Clanger is a go to in my head movies at the footy.- The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
And our leverage? On this public land that we ‘book’? Rent? Lease? The difficulty in kicking us out is commensurate to our leverage in encouraging assistance with Caulfield. It’s tenuous and hopeful at best. - PREGAME: Rd 01 vs St. Kilda
