Farewell James Harmes
I liken James Harmes' clever gather and lace-out to Fritsch a bit like the end of the '64 grand final, which had become a rolling maul by the last quarter, when Barry Bourke got on the end of some quick hands by Townsend and Barassi. The ball then went coast to coast, and although Hassa missed the sitter, the ball would rebound to Crompton and the rest was history.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 4th February 2026
Achilles Jones ("And The Big Men Fly") at Springvale High School seems such a long time ago now. That's how long it has taken my achilles to heel.

From the vault
I have a distinct feeling that Frosty Miller trialled for The Dees around this time.

State of Origin is Back
Big V v Sandgropers, what's not to like. This was always footy played at its highest standard, a world above 'catchy', AKA rugby.

Hassa Mann
This is a truly legendary post. Hassa Mann was The Man after Barassi left the club.

Hassa Mann
Well we probably would have pulled our finger out against Footscray, in that case.

What Now?
The magic of two "bros" working together in the forward lines adds a little magic to the mix. Brodie Mihocek may get that silver service after all.

AFL Draft 2025: Picks 7 & 8
Well spoken. Ie Greg Williams, a famous dawdler from the past. If you do happen to be a bit slow opening the jam jar, a set of beady eyes and bullet hand passing are essentials ..

Big Cox
"Good fit" should be banned from reputable journalistic organs. Unless, of course there is somewhere it can fit.

Tassie Devils Possible Extinction
This is another bread and circuses fiasco. Meanwhile, crackheads and kitchen weaponry starting up a breakaway competition.

State of Origin is Back
Early re-union of the/Melbourne midfield.

Farewell Christian Petracca
BTW the way, l wish him well but he is definitely a different version to '21. It was on the news.

Farewell Christian Petracca
After seeing him kitted out today in Sergio Silvagni's old shorts l think he could now fairly be labelled "Traccta".

Farewell Christian Petracca
So many parallels with Barassi, who left without saying goodbye. Fortunately it only took 57 years to snag our next flag.
