Thanks to the Brisbane Lions, the 2024 AFL National Draft Pick #37 has just landed in our lap. This could be big!

He’s a decent basketballer at his age. If he keeps on growing, he’ll make lots more $ in the NBL.

Watch the futures live here.

Any chance we can restrict our discussion on suits to Giorgio Armani or Zegna?

Far right in the blue jumper is Big Bob.

We all remember what happened three years ago but here’s one from 70 years ago and while it was a loss, it sparked off a magnificent run of premierships over the next decade …

That expanding injury list is really out of control Injury list: Round 5 Paxy Paxman — foot Test Jemma Rigoni — groin Test Eden Zanker — knee TBC Saraid Taylor — calf 1-2 Weeks Blaithin Mackin — calf 3-5 Weeks Lauren Pearce — wrist 4 weeks Olivia Purcell — face 3-4 Weeks Tayla Harris — shoulder Season Grace Beasley — knee Season Jacinta Hose — knee Season Aimee Mackin — knee Season

Today is the 64th anniversary of Melbourne’s 1960 premiership - its 11th flag. The victory against Collingwood was achieved in pouring rain with the Pies held to the lowest grand final score in VFL/AFL history 2.2.14 to the Demons’ 8.14.62. A fortnight earlier, they kept Fitzroy to four goals. Pictured, getting a kick away in the slush is Trevor Johnson.

The song that was top of the hit parade on Grand Final Day 1964

The Dragons make it three flags in a row with a big victory over the Rebels. Brisbane father/son sensation Levi Ashcroft kicked three goals and had 29 touches to stamp himself as a likely #1 draft pick in the coming draft. But the Lions have a double bonus coming their way because their Academy prospect Sam Marshall pipped Ashcroft for the best on ground medal with 28 disposals and two goals of his own. Harry Armstrong, a 195cm key forward was strong with four goals while defender Harrison Oliver was a workhorse in defence. For the losers, Ollie Hannaford (two goals) can hold his head high. Ashcroft has played in all three of the Dragons’ current run of premierships.
