You can go off people.... just sayin' 🙄

Apparently.. I'm still trying ....

Will be very interesting to see what version takes the field. Some players suffer a 2nd year slump... others, and I suspect this will be Langford, front us less daunted feeling even more comfortable with the extra demands of not just AFL..but the expectations of others having already delivered a great 1st year. If he can find another yard of pace perhaps. Another preseason won't hurt either

Some might suggest Im more than trying enough as I am...

I'm with you.. lol... I missed the first one 🤔🤷‍♂️🙄

🤔Bit like the ying and yang of things 😉

Bugger.... bugger.. Missed by ... well... a little bit...

He's one of those.. well could be ho hum... or crikey a real Jack in the box. With good coaching and mentoring ( different things ) he ,could build into something as the whole team does. Quite exciting to watch. Good luck CJ and welcome to the Dees !!

Our biggest problem was two part.. it was the connect off of moving the ball and putting it to advantage in the forward arc.. 2nd part having ppl/system in fwd arc to utilise opportunities. Imho 2 of the biggest culprits are no longer there. Think about that for a moment

The only people that are already writing us off are the least consequential as none of them will be adorning a jumper in opposition to us on an oval. They're just hacks pulling excrement out of theirs... in order to fill content and look knowledgeable. King certainly won't be adopting that stance. No coach with half a brain considers any game a given. We might go alright... we might not ... we might go between. No one knows yet.. especially those just writing about it. What we WILL be is...different Ask how many of these scribes would wager their left nut ??? I know the answer

Will be interesting to see actual go-with designs as opposed to broad 'concepts' Daisy's noting of heights does provide scope for something other than bland ovals. Others noting existing structures does kinda provide precedence of sorts for something in the guts but I'm not thinking that much is really needed as can't see it as a viable option for anything other than training.

Pass

Not sure that other one is overly 'high' 😉 Or has a base rated for 'plant'

Good luck 😉

Unless you sink an oval i dont think there's any view or capability of seating for the training oval. Casey will live on. Caulfield will be all about Admin and Training imo

Sounds about ✅️

I really think a lot just dont understand how things are actually built/managed. Some seem to think its click your fingers..1,2,3 Currently the only access to the middle is via tunnels. Not thinking they're a size to easily facilitate ground moving plant. Even if of only "basic" design there's still a lot of prep work. Often more work in preparation and services than the actual erection. Every build requires a geo survey. If you wanted to use for preseason 28.. you would need everything ready to go NOW. It isn't. There's actually NOTHING other than concepts,sketches, ideas, basic scoping and possibly/probably a financial framework . I very much doubt there's detailed plans or build management program yet. It is not rocket science..its just building. There will be no ground breaking technology here... justva build. But there's a process . Id be surprised if were not looking at maybe mid 28. And we watch and wait.

A major point of difference though is Dingely is/was effective a greenfields build. I.e you can throw as much as you can in an organised manner as you have unfettered access to your build. Areas for staging , storing , equipment... all fairly easy Caulfield won't be. Any construction can NOT impact what already exists as functioning. The racecourse and access must be maintained. Denial of public movement ( traffic etc ) must be minimised. 2 years is optimistic ( very ) Hawthorn took 2 but it had everything ready to go when it started. Do we even have plans finalised, permits, financing .... anything ? These aren't just negative Nancy concerns.. they're actually what you need. Where are we at ??

Cats need it back 😉

Both names that sprung to my mind.. A player who's up and about .. bursting out from the back... I dont think he has Jayden's boot but he might have Frosty's energy. Fun times to come

Personally I'm immune to the filth. I married it... half my mates are filthy Most of my wife's large Mic family are it.. A brother in law is ex filthy player. I am surrounded by the filthy... But I'm not tainted.. After all... I'm superior ( dont let wife hear that ...lol 🙄🤣 )

Fwiw There's a public accessible walking/running track around the perimeter of Waverley It's impossible to cordon it off

We do have a home... but its been compromised... and were nudged out

I dont think its even possible to have a truly locked out session.... There's no Berlin Wall there!!

Fair points George. Just curious... do we actually train at nights ?
