Mentioned in another thread that a South Australian played a very central role in the development of penicillin. The dual flush toilet also emerged from South Australia. Would be poetic if we could send the two local teams' seasons down the drain in the space of one week.

The reason that lone Dees supporter can comfortably sit among those Port fans is that a South Australian led the practical development of penicillin.

If Demonland ever went down in a plane crash on a remote deserted island, you'd probably be one of the last ones to be eaten.

I've done a few ribs during my time, and once ripped off the cartilage - but never a few at once as far as I know, and in addition to a cracked vertabra. It's really hard to imagine May being back anytime within the next month at a minimum. It's not just the restriction in movement and difficulty in deep breathing, but shedding the protective mindset and regaining confidence in having the rib exposed. In the short-term he needs to be paired up with Spargo on rehab sidelines, such that he isn't caught out in painful laughter.

We should probably just delist them all and start over with a fresh set of 18 y/o kids. Maybe if we put our hand up to move to Tassie we'll get some extra draft picks and some better ones next time.

MFCSS: finally resolve forward-line issues. Later that day, injury disrupts forward-line issues resolution.

Yeah, a poor effort by May not to get back on the field and instead take the easy way by ambulance. #culture.

What's Gerald Healy's problem? Did we push him out or something? Also, currently searching online for a novelty jumbo sombrero to eat re. Tomald showing composure and restraint down back.

We need to stay sharp when the Hawks release Frostball: destroyer of systems.

Essendon. Nazi vibes made palatable by their recent Hogan's Heroes interpretation.

Checking in from Portugal near Guincho, where some of Her Majesty's Secret Service was filmed with Aussie George Lazenby in the lead role. I also once sold a CD to Sean Connery. Conclusion: no Australian should ever play Bond.

Why do you think the AFL would lower the free agency compo for Tasmania? What would be the practical reason if Tas were being made to draft out of the top end anyway (although I doubt that will apply to the top two or three draft concessions)? I would imagine they'd also want to encourage clubs to let their RAs go.

Thanks for adding my originally intended link. I see mine is about something completely unrelated. @Demonland Is it possible to fix that please?

But if they raid our star player free agency stocks toward the end of their careers on big $ it could set us up for a rapid rebuild through high-end draft compo and trade cookies, no? Maybe the timing will be perfect?

Two-pronged question. Hun journalist Sam Hamburger has reported the 'Tasmania Devils' will likely receive very different draft concessions than the Giants and GWS. See here for non a non-paywalled report: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-17/australia-to-miss-2030-climate-goal-by-couple-years-oxford-says?srnd=green&embedded-checkout=true If you were an AFL administrator, how would you manage the Devil's entry? Also, the draft hand-outs to the previous two expansion clubs undoubtedly impacted the MFC's rebuild while we were at the bottom of the pack. Forecasting ahead, how do you think the next round of proposed concessions may impact our club and others? Is there a strategy we can put in place to mitigate? (For the record, I'm not sjit-stirring: I'm all for the Tasmanian expansion, and would love to see an NT-based club enter the league at the same time or thereabouts)

But our system now has even higher standards. The fact he referenced both Viney and Gawn means the club wasn't trying to make him become a particular type of player or personality, but likely they were pushing a greater level of leadership and professionalism.

I've said a similar thing about girlfriends dumping me in the past. It doesn't mean they were wrong, other than being attracted to me in the first place and persisting for too long due to a misguided hope of 'potential'.

I feel for Rosas. It was until all those Covid warnings that I realised how often I make contact with my head.

You mean in having married a Collingwood supporter?

A glorious afternoon at the MCG by all accounts. I think our president should come out and encourage more of our fans to come along and make some noise.

To be fair, the bathwater back then was likely rife with Tuberculosis and other nasties.

When will Melbourne break these obscure embarassing records?

Precisely. She's fulfilling her exact job description. Like it or not, Collingwood is the benchmark. And they in part got that way through an annoying parochial president who continually rallied the troops.

Apologies to you and @Dr. Gonzo. I was only trying to highlight how ridiculous the reaction has been. I tend to assume everyone knows my tounge is always firmly planted.

That a president is trying to drum up support through the media? Isn't it obvious?
