Redleg

They are interesting stats, given we have employed Choco for several years and this is not a revelation.

I may be on my own here but really would like to see Roy George on our list, but the club may want Jai Culley and atm there are no spots for either of them. It may take a mid season retirement to open a spot. I am hoping no other club will/can select Roy earlier, if he doesn’t first agree to go there. Interesting to see how this pans out.

Is that an AFL stat?

I still can’t see how Kozzie got weeks, for a contest, that at worst, would have been a bump to a 200cm player’s stomach, until the very last split second, when the taller player went to ground, at a time when the smaller player couldn’t pull out of the contest. I think it was a pathetic decision and when contrasted with the Maynard bump on Gus, knocking him out early in a final and the resultant lack of any penalty is just bewildering, other than the fact that the Tribunal Chairman and MRO are admitted Pies supporters. Neither of them should have officiated in either case.

The thing that annoyed me was Kohli’s reaction, after walking a pitch and a half width across, to get to Konstas. Konstas was clearly annoying Kohli, as we saw earlier a few times with his cavalier batting and Kohli’s reactions. However, after Kohli bumped him and kept walking, without instantly reacting, which you would do if contact was unexpected, Kohli tried to start something and then later was trying to blame Konstas for the bump, by showing a charge with his shoulder. This annoyed me the most. Great batsman that he is/was, he has always been arrogant and his picking on Nat Ioannides, a young, small,female sports journo at Tullamarine was pathetic. He excused the three men in her group ( cameramen probably) and loudly said it was all her fault that there were cameras at the airport, when his team arrived. Tony Jones called him a bully and that is probably on the money. I have never liked him, much preferring guys like Bumrah and Tendulkar who are modest champions. I see he got a slap on the wrist for the incident.

Well he hasn't yet. Not sure he will either.

Konstas brilliant. Kohli pathetic.

RIP Troy, still just so horrible 20 years on. Gone but not forgotten.

Perhaps I can explain what I mean by second team. Dees are my only team, but I dislike the Suns winning less than any other team and wouldn’t mind if they make finals and would be totally thrilled for them to lose next year’s GF to us.

I would think access would come via Neerim road, where you access the current football oval and stand.

The Suns are my second team already and an eighth finish, knocking off the Blues in an elimination final would be a great result all round.

Dp I agree with you on the hope for info soon and as I have said for about 2 years now, this will happen, barring an unforeseen event, that has the power to stop it. I am biased living close by, but have no doubts this will be a great project and precinct for the club to be based. As i said in an earlier post, the inside of the track is a massive area, that is now unused and the CRRT understand that this is a disgrace, in a suburb crying out for green space use by the community. Even with our ovals, I would estimate 2/3 of the inside track remaining for other uses probably still to be decided. The land is far too valuable to be a weed patch.

The CRRT have nothing to do with the school project, as that is freehold land that is being purchased. Can posters please understand that the MRC is and the MFC will be, on Crown Land. Crown land and Freehold land are two different categories of land ownership.

I see it in 2 factors: 1. Opportunity. 2. Ease of getting to the club. For opportunity, there is no obvious ruckman behind the 33 year old Max and several of our key Defenders are near the end. The Suns have 3 ruckmen behind the younger Witts, with Moyle and 2 others ahead of him at this stage and also younger key Defenders. For ease of getting to the club, the Suns have a number of Academy players they want next year and 2 at least at this stage are ahead of Kalani. A finals placing will restrict them to 2 Academy players, whereas with us, he will walk simply in on a matched bid.

Just drove into the racecourse mid field area and it is massive.

Congrats Tracc and have a great honeymoon and and then onto our next flag.

She seems a very nice level headed girl as well as talented footballer and I can see her becoming a Dees' favourite.

Or kids, 3 game memberships, restricted not full memberships etc, or the percentage stated was incorrect.

That is not correct. It is 2024 members who vote for the 2024 AGM/Election.

He achieved his aim, clickbait and people discussing it. Move on, it is an irrelevant article.

Thanks GW and love your last line. I have a feeling about this kid, that I know others might not share, but we will see as the season unfolds. I also don't think it can be overestimated, the benefit that can come from a few indigenous boys being at the same club and carving out their footy careers, together with their brothers.

Any more info on Roy, either what you saw today, or heard?

Yes.

Yes, the Redleg rubbish bin.

Possibly.
