Melky turns 32 tomorrow (!). If he needs a knee reco and is out for a year, I think it might be curtains* for him at AFL level, sadly. * Not saying I wouldn't trade him for Curtin.

Essendon fans I know bemoan the quality of his disposal, even if he does get a lot of touches.

Last I heard Daicos is a definite 'out' and Moore a likely 'in'.

I can think of ten AFL clubs that desperately wish they were playing next Thursday night.

True enough Luci.

Fair enough Luci but, in the absence of any supporting evidence for your belief, I remain unconvinced.

That addresses the "where" but not the "when". I'm sure the AFL schedules the actual games. Your example is also based on a COVID year where the MCG wasn't an option. I still don't believe that any club can choose what day they play on.

I honestly find that hard to believe, Luci. Do you have a source?

Who is "they"? Are you saying that Collingwood (not the AFL) decide which day they play their first final?

Your words have been marked. You got an "F".

Hope he can throw the ball back into play better than he commentates.

He's not among the four emergencies, of whom one will be the sub.

I thought it was the ball he claimed to have touched.

WC would jump at that. We'd be very foolish to do it.

He wasn't in.

Oooooh ... controversy! I had van Rooyen in my ginger brainteaser team and some people insisted that he's not a redhead.

I think 23rd August 2023 would be a suitable date.

He might be really unlucky and contract a virus or have "hamstring awareness" flare up over the weekend.

There's been a lot of talk about this week's game possibly being a dead rubber. For anybody who is uncertain what that term actually means, here is a pictorial representation.

My interest in Georgiades is piqued by the reports that Jason Taylor was very keen on him in his draft year. Maybe he hasn't developed as expected. Maybe he never will. Maybe he will blossom at Melbourne.

I reckon we should invite @gOLLy to attend training and give us his insights. We could call his report the Good Golly Gosch Goings-on.

Schache was given a one year deal. I have no idea whether we'll re-sign him or not at the end of 2023.

For those who came in late, Kevin is Kozzy's father.
