Who gives a stuff about the B&F? Other than players it is just an event for people to feel like they are part of the inner sanctum when they aren't.

Inktober 2024
Update: Learning Gesture is hard, really hard. When you've been so used to sketching what you see and trying to get as much detail an contour down as early as possible, training your mind to forget all that and just start loosely scribbling stick figures feels like kicking on your opposite foot. Line of Action is a great site for anyone keen on doing some quick sketch figure drawing practice. You can setup a slideshow of models posing and time how long it will be on the screen for (30 seconds, 2 mins etc). It forces your brain to get the rhythm or perceived action of a pose down. Obviously like anything, gesture drawing requires a lot of practice to understand it better, something I'm not doing anywhere near enough of right now as I frantically revert to my way of sketching!

2024 Phantom Drafts
The thing that I do really like about Reid is he's quick up top and someone who sees how the game can develop 2 or 3 possessions after his own. I see him as more of a 'play starter' than play maker. Instead of making that bullet pass into the 50 he can put the guy into space who will make that pass. Will see though, going to be a very exciting top 5.

His new team being seduced better bring a new bottle of wine to dinner if the glass is half empty.

NON-MFC: Preliminary Finals
Like many others I have Sydney v Geelong in the Grand Final but I have a sneaky feeling that the Lions are really going to run them tomorrow night. The results may not show it but I do feel that Brisbane have adapted their gameplan to suit the G better in recent years and if they look to sling it from half back they could catch the Cats off guard. Although the Port game was a good spread of goalkickers I still feel that Cameron needs to kick a bag for Geelong to win games like this. Brisbane's forward 50 can be death by 1000 cuts.

Training Ground?
My understanding of a feasibility study is it determines the likelihood of a project being completed successfully, weighing up the risk analysis and other critical aspects. Like how science never proves theories but supports them. Is that on the right track LH?

About 50,000 volts worse if you know what I mean!

Was waiting for someone to suggest we get him back. Are you paid by the troll?

I hope B&F scheduling gets covered in the review, definitely the most important thing over anything else.

Who would have thought the club would get their own mail so horribly wrong?

Tom McDonald re-signs for 2025
I thought this happened last week but maybe it was a 'set to re-sign' thread.

1964 VFL Grand Final - 60 Years Ago Today
Our last flag on the hallowed turf. I've said it more times than I can remember but that 2 mins of newsreel footage was played to death by me growing up being the only video evidence of us winning a flag. Maybe one day AI can re-create a behind the goal video of Crompton kicking the winner!

Training Ground?
It was a moral decision that I am proud that we made. However the elephant in the room was always going to be how we would replace that revenue. Just five years earlier we needed serious AFL help and serious involvement from them in getting our club back on track. Without knowing the club's balance sheet that well I do know that as controversial as pokies were, they brought in consistent $$. I'm proud to support a club that leads the way in many social initiatives but I'd also like as to have a strong asset base.

I'm with you. Independent of the Red Bull stuff Pre Season is closer than we think. Up until now he hasn't been allowed to get the heart rate up high and he will likely need every minute of this off season to get himself right. If this is a beneficial investment of time then blow the B&F night.
