Why does the team need 3 FF's and 3 FB's while they name only 1 ruck ( English)? Curnow, Walker and Larkey. FF's Wilkie(wtf!), Stewart, Moore. even Sicily? FB's It just means very good players in other positions get denied. e.g Rowan Marshall is a far superior player to Callum WIlkie.

Let one go through to the keeper??

Finally.....we have someone running the show. This position, while temporarily filled by Laura on a part time basis since only May, has been vacant since the departure of Brad Scott nearly 12 months ago. All while she has been doing other tasks. It is no surprise that the furore around umpiring, goal reviews, fixturing and biggest of all the CBA ( still not agreed after nearly 2 years) are tasks for the GM of Football. A fine mess you have left for the lady Gil.......

Any chance we can get a couple of copies then. We seem to be running out of forwards.

Also covered by Pink in more recent times. Alice was Alice Liddell, who urged Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) to write the story of Alice in Wonderland.

The difference between pick 8 and pick 6 is nothing. There are multiple examples of good/better players being selected behind others. Geelongs next pick in this draft is pick 82. They have more problems than trying to gain pick 6 instead of 8. You cannot rebuild with 1 player. Tanking used to be all about gaining EXTRA picks under a defined formula. That disappeared years ago, so there is no longer any incentive to tank.

Only boomers would understand that....

I think you kick better on your left when on a set shot, but have noticed doing more on the right lately. what is your preferred?

At a sponsors event in early 2021 we were told there would be an announcement by year end by the CEO. ...still running the same line.....

...another week to go...FIFA requires the stadiums to be free for a week AFTER the last game is played. https://sport.optus.com.au/news/womens-world-cup-2023/os59834/fifa-womens-world-cup-2023-host-stadiums-melbourne-aami-park

No he has a broken wrist

When the AFL and multiple medical specialists are hell bent on trying to reduce the effects of head knocks, and warning of its long term consequences, it seems rather silly to be pursuing this activity.

Spot on.....Alan Joyce at Hawthorn when he took over for one year from Jeans. They had won the Premiership in '86, runners up in '87 and under Joyce ruined our hopes in '88, and took out the Premiership in '89.

Maybe we could call it "appointment" then.......same as " by appointment to HM of Romsey Manor" Surely a bit of extra internet browsing of dubious opposition sites, could sit alongside with browsing of other dubious internet sites? Or you could "delegate" said task to one of your underlings?

Should do this tonight…..

How the mighty Hawthorn have fallen.......love it, we always knew they were fudging their figures.

And probably Howes by next year.

Yours is always the best read after every match @joeboy. Keep it up.......and you are right....Tyson couldn't mark, or kick the ball to Melbourne players.

Why isn't Marvel being used to showcase the game, instead of all these second rate country grounds. Under the roof, good surface, easy for fans to get to and more of them to turn up than some country town, with TV facilities already there to cut down the costs for broadcasters. From 1 September to a mid November Def Leppard concert ( a Tuesday) the only thing happening at the stadium is "stadium golf" a fabricated driving range for the day. The ground is now owned by the AFL.... play football there.

The other thing which annoys me is the simple lack of respect for the AFLW by the AFL. How do you develop interest in the game and get ratings on TV when you send the games to Ballarat, Warrnambool, Alberton, Tasmania, Windy Hill, Unley, Arden st, Whitten oval, Victoria Park......crowds will be pathetic. There is a perfectly good stadium at Marvel under a roof owned by the AFL, where perhaps every Victorian team should play, with conditions guaranteed to produce a good spectacle, with modern facilities for spectators, and no advantage to any side.

3 Home games at Casey out of 10 games in total!! North 5 games at Arden st or Tas Lions 4 home games at their training base and an away game against GC and then another home game in R10 ( you know where that will be)

We were kicked out of AAMI park for the World cup. Gosch's still available. Pies still have access to all their facilities, but their oval is probably being used for FIFA.

No the current Board have said those monies will not be used for that (I don't know why) Why would the Board be loathe to tell the members what is happening?. After all they been promising this since they were put in place, and the Board before them, and the one before them.....I have lost track of the number of times at AGM's, player sponsor events and member meetings where this has been sprouted. ....but we can't tell you anything because it is "in confidence"....or "we will have something positive by the end of this year"......then next year " we should have something to announce by season end"..... It was meant to be in construction according to the Strategic plan by the end of this year.

This was Schache's 50th VFL game between the Dogs and us. Should indicate to people why he isn't playing AFL.

Collingwood did it, why not us? https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/club/member-events Club is falling back to the worst of years past. No notifications or even organising these things for members.
