He's a lucky man. Looked like textbook high ankle damage but sounds like it could just be a few weeks.

Lions, Jaguars, Packers

Now we just need relief at the other bowser...

Blacked out everything and was prepared to lay the smackdown on any spoilers but made it to 5:30 yesterday. The Eagles came out flexing their muscles while we couldn't generate any offense at all. Could have easily been another whitewash but in one of the first times on record known to man, Kyle made adjustments and went to a more pass first approach with screens. The classic example of the West Coast offense and using pass plays as if they're running plays. Purdy utilised the weapons around him but I thought he played a fantastic game after what happened last time. The NFC is livened up now and I can't wait to see Eagles and Boys. December will be good viewing peeps. Sit back and enjoy.

I'm a fan. Checks down and doesn't get fazed. I'd have him, even with Purdy.

I'll get my coat...

Blackout time till around 5:30 tonight. Gonna be a tough one especially in the rain where Purdy seems to struggle.

Arrest warrant for Von Miller suspected of assaulting a pregnant woman. Rough season so far for the Bills.

Once you get that flag, you're a made man.

The ultimate banker maybe. In a year where there have been none..

No-one is suggesting we blood a bunch of new players at once but over the course of the season it would be nice to see X amount of games put into the likes of Howes, Woewodin, Laurie, Turner, AMW and so forth. The gap between the youth and 100 gamers is starting to grow.

Chargers, Dolphins, Chiefs. Take it to the bank.

All the info you'd ever need..

I'm ready for another Davey.

Would be the new shortest player in the league if he was!

Have to say this is my thinking as well. We’ll be back for more finals footy, the list and gameplan is there. However there are more loose ends coming into next year than the previous two. Petty’s injury is a concern for me as well, Lisfranc injuries are always wait and see so a big question mark there considering he’s probably moved into the top 6 or so most important players. The ruck depth is definitely another, as much as Max wants to be a majority ruckman we will need that reliever ruck as well. There isn’t enough data on Fullerton and weather he can do that job or even as a pinch hitting forward. I love the look of Varrell but this needs to be another development year rather than pinning our hopes on him. I’m stoked that we chose Windsor as it addressed a need but again you can’t bank on first year players to come straight in and perform roles to elite levels, same with Tholstrup. Apart from above, the ‘what if’ list continues: Is Salem’s health under control and can he get back to that 2021 form? Can either Bowey or Rivers move into the middle and make a real difference week to week? Will T-Mac and BBB be able to contribute or are they just VFL mentors now? Can we trust the midfield depth we have yet? Time will tell, a ripper pre season with barely any injuries may alter my thinking but that’s where I stand. If it’s a step back to go forward I’m ok with it as well.

Nailed it.

"I got the straight set blues From my head to my shoes When the forwards fire a shot It's always there it is not Those straight set blues Those straight set blues. I've got those straight set blues Those old straight set blues Well you should see strong men quail Or just a Maynard fail Those straight set blues Those old straight set blues."

You can do the track report. I believe in you!

I'm good with all the numbers choices. Does anyone ever get angry with the number choices?

A good draft is a good draft. Don't worry about it.

More manipulating of stats for the sake of click bait.

I think drafting is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

I remember going to a game on a Sat night against Sydney around 2014 and sitting on the top level of the southern stand. Nathan nearby with the kids, Kynan was probably about 8. So thrilled for him We got smashed that night BTW.

Just timestamping myself here to look back on in 2028.
