But only 23, playing at the club where coaches go to die, TMac has seized up. We need the kgs. Sign him up.

Just an oddity but he runs exactly like his old man did.

Has there been extra video yet? If not, Sparrow released Day earliy and he stumbled over the umpires' guide dog as far as we could see in the partial video. Woofy was too cute to charge.

Still worth a thread but the records are no longer a dagger to my heart. We won a Premiership. We crashed out of the finals last year but we won a Premiership. We gave Roos a very MFC send-off with his greatest ever loss. But we won a Premiership. Hopefully others found 2021 as therapeutic. 😃

This is not a Tim Tam.

God bless you Mansell. Still looking forward to Scott's presser. He may collapse inwardly like one of those blackhole thingies.

The ALDI timtam knockoff is better than the real thing!!! The firmer biscuit lasts that little bit longer when dunked in the coffee. (lobs grenade and scurries off)

We need to give Petty some time to learn the Forward's craft as we did for Van Rooyen. Possibly some less flaky coaching will train up the Love Shack for a key position. We need the extra kilos. Our new guys are lightly built. Van Rooyen floats like a bee but dropped a lot on Saturday. Half a century ago, a much taller friend was coached to tilt his hands forward. Anyone out there with an updated diagnosis and cure?

Who do you want to dig you out of the snow, a St Bernards or a beagle with ambition? The political system has thrown up Prime Ministers Morrison, Abbot, Rudd, Turnbull, Keating, etc. Shrinking violets to the man with hubris unknown. Be Afwaid be vewy vewy Afwaid — (Elmer Fudd c. 1956) Any mention of a recent State Premiers will cause this thread to self-combust.

The chocolate on a violet crumble sticks too firmly to the honeycomb. The choclate on a crunchie can be nibbled off leaving the honeycomb to be wolfed down. This is the correct way to eat a crunchie but don't let anyone watch you. They may come over all unnecessary.

As a dislecksick baby boomar, I will one at the back yelling "JUDAS".

Very percussive. A friend reckoned that standing up near the stage was like being caught in a pin-ball machine. Possibly when they first hit Melbourne from Dubbo. Still loved them.

Warner Bros owns the trademark, Tasmanian Devil. The AFL applied for a Trademrk, Tasmania Devils, in 2019 but it has not proceded. This has been reported on several news sites. I favour "Tasmanian Tigers" to ignite another team.

Until we apologetically stop, slip in a few "Mexicans".

Big tick

Newcastle has the population but rugby-mad.

Why is Grundy/Gawn working when Preuss/Gawn failed?

It is official folklore of the Eighties (and from ex-players, too) that rugged Essendon full-back Ronnie Andrews would toughen up the downy-cheeked recruits by taking them pig-shooting. Now we know where we were went wrong.

JVR listed at 193 should be 2 or 3 cm shorter than Lever and Petty. I saw him coming up the race next to Lever and standing next to Petty. Instead he looked 2 or 3 cm taller. Maybe he has grown. Just curious really but will claim that it is compromising my football betting so that I may spit the dummy.

Don't see a problem to be fixed. If the Football Deptartments can't or won't do their job, they need to retire or improve and not expect the players to bail them out. If you freely make a contract, you should stand by it and cop the consquences of soft earlier decisions. Still disappointed that Woey Senior and Jack W didn't tell the club to stick it.

Without trawling through statistics, Rivers seems to be taking more intercept marks. Has he got better or are just playing against some dodgy forward lines?

To the best of my understanding his accepting the risk of brain damage doesn't reduce the Swans' duty of care. A lawsuit in ten years time is inevitable as the Swans should have known. Possibly an investigation by SafeWork NSW (like Worksafe etc) That is a most unwise pick-up by the Swans.

Say what you like about BT but he came up the phrase "Fritsch-magnet" c. Round 18 2021 (or was it 2022?🤔). An early entrant for the prestigious Golden Dermie, is Chris Johnson specially commenting on the match against the Swans. Throughout the second half, he waxed lyrical about the masterstroke of replacing a fit BBrown with Melksham. The Boundary Rider must have been asleep. Furthermore, he said that Melksham was a player that would "fight and scrap for you). Not the strengths of the Melksham that I see (also noted in last week's podcast).

If you have time, what is Dunstan's future. Got 30 disposals for Casey, played well in the seniors last year for a couple of games but not first-rate disposal and perhaps not as calm under pressure.

On the telly, got a great view of Chandler bouncing pinball-style from Swan to Swan to Swan on the back-line without getting a stat. Has he in one game gone past Spargo as the hard-running defensive forward? Similarly we can pass the defender role for a Charlie Cameron-type from Hibberd to McVee. I didn't watch enough of Casey last year to have an opinion. Hibberd had a stellar game at Casey last week. However, I thought that he has dropped off in the firsts and lost his player a bit. Gee, Tomlinson played well at Casey; just gotta love the big guy. Has he a role in the firsts? Melksham played well as sub this week. But I am still twitchy about losing Gawn and TMac for 193cm Rooooey and a mid-size player.
