Sounds like it too!

I spoke today to an Essendon insider who feels that the Bombers will field a reasonable squad. Given that this will be their best team because they don’t have a Marsh Cup game over the weekend, they should be too strong for our second string team missing a large number of players through injury.

I’m thinking that the fact that we had one player selected across the two teams is a sad indictment on our recruiting efforts in recent years.

A message from our Chairman and CEO MFC backing in one AFL and one AFLW flag and starting new facility in MCG precinct by 2023.

Apparently, the MFC Annual General Meeting is officially underway at the MCG. Do people still go?

Seems to be an emphasis on Harley Bennell’s attempted comeback - ‘I started tearing up’: Harley Bennell opens up on tough 2019 Grand Final experience. Incidentally, I caught up with the tail end of a discussion on HB on SEN and the commentator said that if he’s successful in getting back to full fitness (I know there’s no guarantees there) Bennell would be the recruit of the year - a possible All Australian.

Did he have to mention the last minute of the 1987 Preliminary Final?

We were supposed to be certainties this time 12 months ago.

I read somewhere before the season that we had a tough start to the season with two games against premiership candidates in North and the Bulldogs. A long way to go and we are in a very tough conference but so far, so good.

Will be interviewed on SEN by Peter Donegan (courtesy of Tobin Brothers Funerals) on Sunday 16th February at 10.00 am

Monday, it is.

We almost made it that year and all we had was one coach, one captain and one vice-captain. How things have changed!

One assumes he will wear #17 as that is the lowest jumper number available.

I assume that’s Queensland time?

My countdown to the footy starts as soon as the Australian Open Tennis is done and dusted. Once that happens, there’s nothing that stands in the way of the footy.

Not from Maroochydore but I believe there was a report going around somewhere that Kossie had been lightly concussed at training a little over a week ago. If that’s accurate, he will only being doing light work whilst up there.

My father didn’t play sport but went to Bill Mitchell who cured a back problem. He said that Mitchell identified the issue before he walked into his rooms as he had watched him through the window as he was approaching from outside. Swore by him. That said, there must be plenty of doctors and physios etc these days who know what needs to be done to get Max across the line in good shape and in good time.
