Rowan Marshall might be available.

Compelling reasons to pick him up. On the positive side, he'll be 32 next year. Pass.

The news of Choco getting the bullet has given me an odd craving. Not a great day for the extended family with his son-in-law Dylan Shiel also on the way out of Essendon. (And no, we shouldn't pick him up.)

Is Kalani the right guy? just getting in early

Speaking of which, did Don Quixote call his donkey "Oaty"?

Just redid my sums and you're right, dammit.

Onya Bluey! Funniest poster on this site without doubt.

I think it's still possible that Collingwood miss the final eight. For that to happen, the following needs to occur: 1 - Melbourne d Collingwood, preferably by a decent margin OK, unlikely but not impossible 2 - GCS d Port Adelaide and also Essendon Probable 3 - Hawthorn d Brisbane Possible 4 - GWS d St Kilda Probable 5 - Fremantle/Bulldogs result not important if 1 - 4 happen

We would have won if the quarter was a bit longer, given our magnificent comeback at the end. Bloody cheating timekeepers.

It's said that revenge is a dish best served cold and they also say that revenge is sweet. So essentially, revenge is just like ice cream.

Look at it as a form of pain relief. You can't eliminate the cause, but you can alleviate the symptoms.

May I humbly suggest the "ignore" option.

Didn't Hird rule himself out? Not that it matters, it's Buckley's job if he so desires it would appear.

Tsk tsk. Kookaburras are a protected species and it is against the law to kill them or, your deity of choice forbid, eat them. However, I have to confess that I did try some roasted kookaburra at a dinner party one night. It has a most unusual taste, somewhere between platypus and orange-bellied parrot.

I've just taken a quick trip forward in the time machine and recorded half a dozen of the many questions asked by the panel and the corresponding answers given by unsuccessful applicants. 1 - Where do you see the team finishing in 2026? "I'd say my biggest weakness is not listening". 2 - The position requires a responsible person. "I'm your man. In my last job, when anything went wrong, they said I was responsible". 3 - What is your greatest strength? (30 minutes later ) "I'm very comfortable with silence". 4 - Would you be willing to relocate? "Of course. Where would you like me to sit?" 5 - Why did you leave your last job? "It was something my boss said". What did your boss say? "You're fired". 6 - Can you perform under pressure? "No, but I'll give Bohemian Rhapsody a go".

Oh alright, if nobody else can be bothered. May in for Adams (omitted) and Sharp in for Windsor (injured) as widely predicted. Luke Bruest Breust has announced that he won't be going around again next year.

I hope Kalani isn't disheartened by Jobe's inclusion. We don't want a flat White.

If Buckley's comments are a case of divan intervention, you'd have to say sofa so good.

You're punting on the Daly double?

Now that's what I call a Petty complaint.

Bluey's book.

Is Jeffo wearing the Wesley College purple and gold?

Max is wearing the Ormond jumper (naturally!).

Missed our chance. Dang! Dang! Dang!

I'm surprised you don't remember Wayne, who wore #13. This from Demonwiki: The fiery winger played in both of Collingwood's 1977 Grand Finals, but was swapped to Melbourne at the end of the next season with John Dellamarta and Phil Carman, in exchange for Ross Brewer and cash. Once he arrived at Melbourne, Gordon was used in a variety of positions but struggles with a knee injury and Hodgkin's Disease was restricted him three games in his first season. A regular in 1980 and the first half of 1981, a ruptured spleen in the Round 13 match with Footscray kept him out for the rest of the season. Gordon didn't play another senior game, but appeared in the Reserves during 1982 and 1983, before collapsing with a heart issue in the Round 19, 1983 curtain-raiser. Six weeks later he passed away from a heart attack after a game of tennis, aged just 29 years old.
