Totally [censored] and a parents worst nightmare. My youngest son is just a little older and if that happened to him.... Hopefully th family is getting the support they need. It would be great for the club to do something to acknowledge a young supporter taken way too early.

Gary Pert Quits as MFC CEO
I was thinking of him. But why would he want to leave the AFL, what is his current role there.

Gary Pert Quits as MFC CEO
I think him for being part of the team that achieved a flag in my lifetime :). I guess looking back he is great in the short term but hasn't developed the skills/knowledge for building a long term sustained culture given his exit from the pies and us. Is the consultant a parachute decision to ease the exit for him? Surely we find a CEO like Jackson who knew to stay out of the FD and let those professionals run it and concentrate on the business side and supporting the staff.

2024 Player Reviews: #16 Bailey Laurie
Was better in the last couple of games. But for a player with a great kick he handballs too much. That I see a symptom of a player with low confidence at AFL level, he seems unsure of himself and rushes his decision making many times. He needs to slow down, find some space and deliver on his skills. The question can he get a sequence of games to build that confidence at AFL level. He's got a couple of years to show us.

The Bo Allan Thread
What does the name sound so familiar. Ah, It made me think of: Bo Callihan from the movie draft day. Who went to his birthday party!

2024 Player Reviews: #45 Andy Moniz-Wakefield
Looking forward him taking the step next season. Another preseason under his belt and the confidence he got from his games this year.

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Had our chances with 2 good players being a late out. Even if we win next week and they lose this week I don't think we can catch the bombers.

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Thy had that chance in that patch and only kicks the 2 behinds, unlikely from here. really missed Home and her class int he slippery conditions.

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Nice goal... really needed that. Play Bannan 1 out in the 50?

Damn underwood mispronounces so many words...

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Yeah, you'd think with what riding on it and a top2 side playing they'll show it FTA.

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks

Creative accounting in the salary cap
After the Judd special deal I thought they rewrote the rules to include external package into the salary cap calculation. I assume the same for the soft cap?

AFLW: Rd 08 vs Richmond
They are the only one I think we can overtake. Juts need to win he next 2 and see if the bombers falter.

AFLW: Rd 08 vs Richmond
Great game from the girls. Gee I wish they could find cameramen or a producer that can actually see where the ball is and not show players standing by themselves while the action is off screen.

Sam Weideman has been delisted
Mature forward to help our younger players developed just what we need.....lets get him as a rookie... :( Started well, he had the skills, just not the mental drive to use them at the AFL level.

2024 Trade Week Report Cards
Their squad will be too old by then. Fox had their top players and ages... they'll be 35+ if still playing and no value.

2024 Trade Week Report Cards
Very subjective rating. Why Houston's kicking would have been great to break the lines from half back. I think his price would have meant possibly pick 5, though holding out Port caved in their demands in the end to accept less. Interestingly those that waited ended up with worse deals that those that settled trades early.

Welcome to Demonland: Harry Sharp
I think he'll be a good addition for many years to come.
