No. 31

Went to catch the Hard-Ons at the Bendi tonight, was a great gig, enjoyed it 🤘😁

I bumped mowing my front lawn to catch some of this ... great start by the Lady Dees with the first two goals 👍

I find this school letter grading all a bit infantile TBH. Ultimately the real assessments of the 2025 draft will come in few years time. I thought the Dees did quite well and plugged some obvious holes with good young prospects. Looking forward to see how these lads grow and mature over the next few seasons.

Hey, I thought Jack Ison was the new Bont ... so much so that the Doggies didn't bid 😁

Gives off Crippa vibes ... could be a good pickup on the cheap 👍

Max is on 247 and I am on 0 ... but I am pretty sure I have been drunk at more games than Max! 😁

That is a respectable list 👍 I opted to go to my local government school instead. Max Gawn and I share the same alma mater 😁

Sounds like me, my Ma offered to send me to Caulfield Grammar and I declined 😁 Like the cut of Xavier's jib ... looks like a likely lad 👍

Hands off, he already picked his locker at Parc de Princes ✋️😁

A good pickup I say. Its clear he has loads of natural ability, flair and he has his older cousin to help him adjust to the rigours of AFL training and professionalism.

I quite like what has been done in a short time with GW in the CEO seat already but he has been working at 400 Royal Parade, Carlton North for 10 months already so probably has a handle on the most pressing issues. I am anticipating both the Blues and Dees to be contenders again in a few years, hopefully see some great tussles at the MCG in the near future ... Melbourne v Carlton is actually the oldest club rivalry in footy stemming from the 1870s when the new sport transitioned from a winter novelty for cricket players to becoming something that is woven into the social fabric of this city. Clubs like Collingwood and Hawthorn did not even exist in this era and came decades later!

Lukewarm on him, not that he was poor but I get the feeling he didn't make some harder calls as he was in pre-retirement mode. But then again, he did bring in Graham Wright on his way out and turning around the HMAS Carlton FC is a long project 😁

I just said it in jest 😉 I'm all for giving Vossy another year or two now that we have some new coaching assistants, football department people and some disruptive influences have left. Just hoping to see savvy drafting & trading and some steady improvements over the next couple of years. Feeling quietly confident that things are starting to move in better directions with Graham Wright as the CEO ... 2026 will be an interesting season ...

If you see "Sack Voss" spray painted in the Gate 21 tunnel, you know I visited 😁

I caught all of the games except for Game 2 (caught highlights though). It was really gripping and entertaining. Congrats to the Blue Jays as well, not much srparating them from the Dodgers. Not a huge baseball fan but started getting into it when holidaying in Korea on several occasions (baseball is big there, probably the No.1 sport and the LA Dodgers are hugely popular there btw).
