a while back I asked chat gpt to rate our best 23 that the herald sun posted and say who was missing and it had a go at me because there was no trac, clarry, or viney and told me that checkers was still a pie and latrelle Pickett wasn't a person ai will never replace the complainers of demonland!!!

True ones know that the footy record celebrated Tmacs milestone in round 1 Two greats of the club. When Tmac kicked the goal after the siren, it was the icing on the cake. Maxys 5 goals against the cats will be forever immortalized in MFC lore. Will never forget them

They are confirmed. Some comedian did a skit about it a while back and the players know amongst themselves I believe. While all credit goes to Leigh for being incredibly brave, he is still a bit of a no name and its not sending shock waves when probably 99% percent of people wouldn't know him. But in a way that makes in even more brave. He is building his ownpath and I wish him all the best and I hope any future players that come out are supported unconditionaly

When are we announcing our debutants? If we have any ofc My tips are trelly, Jiath and Steele and hopefully the big moose

Barracking hard for the tiges Dan 'rat' Gorringe has signed a waiver saying if the blues lose, he will never go to a carlton game again. Honestly a win situation tbh

Is anyone else almost grateful that happened? We needed a fresh start and honestly I am much more optimistic this year compared to last

Checkers knows how important you are

Much appreciated!!

how many games do u need to attend to get your moneys worth? For both an adult and a 16 year old Cheers

How bloody empty was the SCG??? Bring back the first game of the season to the g

both tbh

My idea was we wait and give it to Bailey humphrey

How much per year do we reckon? Could be a great bargain if its around the 500-700k mark

I gotta be honest I only tune in to the afl website for cal twomey and damos sliding doors(to Rile myself up). The rest is utter slop. Occasionally their stat pieces are ok

Agreed, despite being a very small sample size, teams that have played in opening round have had a huge advantage in round 1, having already had a taste of a match. I think its about a 80-90% win rate for teams that played in opening round vs teams that didn't in rnd 1

How is Matt Jefferson tracking? Any updates And is checkers available for rnd 1

Great points! Also if there is an end of season match between 2 cellar dwellers it would be both teams trying to win instead of both teams trying to lose

https://sports.yahoo.com/pwhl-to-use-draft-format-that-other-sports-leagues-should-consider-stealing-004818519.html#:~:text=Once%20a%20team%20is%20mathematically,problem%20of%20modern%20draft%20ordering. I have recently come across this system which is used in the professional women's hockey league, and was wondering if this kind of thing could be implemented into the AFL. There are a few key barriers, such as many fewer games, but this would mean there are less fizzers, which was a real worry last year IMO, and will continue to be this year, even with the wildcard round. Interested to see others thoughts on this matter, as something needs to be fixed with the draft

If we win this we are the pre season premiers Not that it means much as in 2005 Carlton(surprise surprise) won the pre season premiership and the wooden spoon in the same year(bit of trivia to start the day)

Bit late to the party but did anyone else notice how odd it felt chucking on a night game after work and it still being light?? Ig we noticed more as the iKon stadium grandstand wasn't too high

Thats why are kick ins are one of the chosen stats. Still a wrought tho

The final answer was... DRUMROLL PLEASE Every player had the matching initials and position of a melbourne 2021 grand final member eg Mitch Hannan-Michael Hibberd

Completly forgot about this lmao @demon-4-life has got the answer I will reveal at midday nothing to do with vowels, although names are important

Seems there is a technical error, quick update Heath is smashing aj in ruck but hitoouts are going nowhere first few mins were very contested, more free flowing now Xav tayloor wants to move ball FAST Sharp looking 100% fit Steele looking after youngsters checkers Creative tap to windsor out on the full snap jeffo beautisul spot kick to roo goals from 45 out on the boundary, blue 6 white 0 Laurie rushed kick to paddy cross who kicks set shot from 15 out white 7 blue 6 Good set shot goal from sparrow(i think) from about 37 out on 45 Koltyn is looking more composed Roo mark from 45 out, on boundary, pretty much mirror to his other shot but this one he misses across he face. Chandler behiind, 13 blue white 7 Nice chain of handballs to windsor snap for behind blue 14 white 7 Stream cuts out when we come back its 32 to 7 Sparrow clearance to windsor as sweeper, kick into forward line to jeffo 45 out, misses badly Howes already at about 5 marks Nice switch from howes to sparrow who misses, 45 out on a 45 Shank kick in ends up in trellys hands who tries to make something but doesnt really work Quick snap from stoppage, point to white Great contested mark by Roo kick to jeffo just outside 50, who kicks to langdon and gets a free and goals. 39-8 Kentfield tries hand in ruck and does ok Checkers inside kick to running langford, butchers kick for goal Trelly loves the dance moves but gets caught by laurie holding the ball Sharpy looking quite strong Great defensive pressure from chandler Sharp goals after kick from melksham on wing blue 40 white 14 Lindsay great second effort Windsor running kick for goal and misses, jeffo marks on point line and handballs to fritta who goals Lindsay really getting into it now GREAT PACK MARK FROM jeffo but looked a bit ginger getting up. Still slots it tho And end of the first 'quarter' Go dees and thanks for read sorry for typos btw

Keeping notes will give full 1st quarter review later :)
