  1. (1) As a son and a parent, I am not surprised that his mum got him to come home. Unless there is a blow-up, the parent controls well into the off-spring's 20's. (2) Grundy covered admirably, when Gawn was down mid-season. We traded him on for a pick and salary relief. I am unsure that we lost from his presence in 2023. (3) True but the young grow into the new roles when given the chance. There is still a long way to go. (4) This was in 2022 without a resurgence.
  2. Please elaborate.
  3. I had a tear (or more) in my eye when I read his letter. He is a man who will not lack friends to respect him. All the best, Angus!
  4. "How many club forums start with a warning to not discuss 40% of what’s going on? It’s unheard of," Concerning 2 out of 46 players. We still get an elephant stamp for maturity if we keep focus working towards the new seson. May brawling last year and that's about it.
  5. Nah, we need to turn over the list to find players better than depth players. Laurie and Woewodin are good to go.
  6. Nah, you gotta unbend a bit for your team-mates!
  7. I've got dibs on the full stop.
  8. Haystack Calhoun's little brother.
  9. Has Petty ever shown or expressed any motivation to go to Adelaide except perhaps the usual much, much money?
  10. Nobody jumps out except English who will be too expensive. I would prefer draft picks. Would like replacements for May or a big forward but no-one impressive youngsters.
  11. What a modern club does, is to get the consultants in to test all the players for leadership potential. The older players might not talk to them so we probably need a five year plan. They will grow into the role if their body holds out. Max is very mature and eats responsibility. Jack hasn't had that media presence to judge.
  12. When were Brown and TMac give an extension? At the end of 2022, they had just turned thirty.
  13. It is interesting that you have espoused the theory of certain peevish coaches that fatique causes injury. They want more interchanges and/or shorter quarters. My anecdotal recollection is that ACL injuries happens in no particular quarter. Anyone out there sitting on a million dollar report?
  14. Any watcher got an opinion on Tom McDonald's current speed off the mark?
  15. Laurie Nash, one of my all-time favourites, CHF at the towering height of 5' 9" kicked 21 goals in a state match against Tasmania from CHF. Said that he saw the best ever footballer each time he shaved. A "forceful" fast bowler, he was known as the Tasmanian Wildman. 2 test for 10 wickets at 12. The ACBC threatened the English with him during Bodyline although the Australian captain had already said that he wouldn't play with him. What a guy!!
  16. Woewodin Minor beaten at the finish line by a chin.
  17. My recollection is that when he went on his long lead and was spoiled, he mainly got the ball🤔
  18. There is FREE parking in the middle. Luxury!
  19. Fight! Fight! Fight!
  20. Looking at the main pic on the MFC site, Salem is carrying an extra 3 - 4 kgs and Spargo is carrying 4 - 5 kgs. But now we will never know :(
