Dillon officially confirmed as Gill's successor. Knock me down with a feather.

A contradiction in terms, no?

Get the number 8 and apply it sideways so it looks like the infinity symbol and the jumper will last forever.

Weed asked to be traded IIRC. Schache was then recruited to fill his role.

On yer marks ...

1965 for Hawthorn. 1958 for Geelong. It would be nice to see both those streaks ended. edit: Replying to @Deebauched

I don't see it as an either/or proposition. There's no reason the Government can't help fund the new stadium as well as addressing the housing issue.

That'd bring a tear to a glass eye. Well done MFC.

As the wise saying goes, holding a grudge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Luke Jackson plays for Fremantle now. I wish him no ill and certainly wouldn't boo him.

The braying, whinging, booing Saints fans annoyed me so much last night that I found myself in the unfamiliar position of hoping that Port Adelaide would win.

I could see that working. The four of them could corral him so he couldn't move at all.

They're building a new stadium in Hobart and upgrading Launceston, aren't they? Nothing "strange" about it.

That photo must be doctored. It appears to show Charlie Spargo smiling.

Here's another, longer, puff piece on Hibbo from the same author and publication: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-chase-for-200-the-premiership-demon-who-s-cherishing-every-moment-20230427-p5d3pq.html

Risible suggestion to think they would waste their first pick to do that.

Less stupid or more stupid than telling the opposition exactly how we're going to line up?

Death, taxes and Demonlanders outraged that players aren't named in actual starting positions.

Tracc has no doubts that Kozzy will re-sign. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/zero-doubt-petracca-ultra-confident-that-pickett-will-stay-a-demon-20230427-p5d3np.html

Carna Cold Coast!

I just can't get into trade/draft talk this early in the season, particularly as we still have games, finals and a premiership to be won. It all just seems very premature.

Replacing a Gill with a Dill.

Here's some background on Dudley Phillips which was posted on the club website after his death. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/749776/vale-dudley-phillips

The optimist in me says that one of them will lose, and that makes me happy. The pessimist in me says that one of them will win, and that makes me unhappy. Best result, then, is a draw I suppose with both teams and their supporters disappointed.

The red mist may have obscured both my vision and my hearing.
