Me too

Yes. He's an upgrade on Weideman. I think his best position is half-back.

Players failing at two clubs but succeeding at a third doesn't happen very often at all. You found one, so the signs for Schache still aren't good.

Yep, but two clubs have already let him go. That's a bit of red flag for me.

Is he having duck for dinner tonight?

He won't do much. He's depth.

A Buddhist monk once said "Relax, nothing is in control"

That's true but you still have to kick goals

Death, taxes and commentators constantly mentioning Collingwood's capacity for making miraculous comebacks

The bang, bang, bang in the third quarter has never been seen in a Grand Final

Correct

Yes it's not a huge loss

Death, taxes and a club conducting a review

Death, taxes and people complaining about umpiring decisions

Rivers becomes a very good player and wants to go home

You want the best players at your football club so you still have to recruit the best even if they're from interstate and even if they leave you get good draft picks in return

...a top four Geelong team What's your death, taxes and football certainty for this year?

That maybe so but it's been working fine for AFL games for over ten years and hosted other sports perfectly well

The AFL definitely means business here. Gill is pushing hard for this to happen. It's just that the bar has been set very high. I think it's been set unfairly high.

I don't understand why they have to build a new stadium to get a team. None of the other expansion teams had that as a requirement. What's wrong with Blundstone Arena? Very nice stadium. AFL has been played there for years as well as BBL and Test matches so it's clearly AFL standard. Perfecty good stadium.

The Gawn/Grundy thing is going to be put under the microscope from the first minute of play. I can already hear the journalists warming up their fingers. They'll be ready to pounce if there's any indication that it's not working

Sometimes things can be misinterpreted through text so maybe that's what's happened here. If that is the case I apologise and will un-ignore QB.

Well the warped sense of humour has been added to the ignore list because it sounds pretty angry to me

Not sure why you're so angry

Yeah good at VFL level. That's my concern. I'm not sure it's good enough to hold his place at AFL level this year.
