    Apologies for my sieve like memory, but over the last few seasons, did we play any games without both Tracc and Clarry on the park?

    Did Clarry play all the way through Traccs injury in 24’?

    I stand to be corrected but I dont think we had any games in 24/25 with both absent.

    At least Max, and obviously internally now given the delistings we have made, that we have failed to re-generate the list compared with Geelong.

    Sadly we still have the same basic problem for the coming year, our first 23 has too many players over the age of 29 who WILL play this year because we have no-one to replace them.

    There is an outside chance some kids might get blocks of games subject to fitness/injuries. King is quite good that way.

    We're not winning a flag next year... just bedding down our game... then revise. Jmho.

    I'm not sure what anybody bases anything on when we/anyone doesn't know the complete list nor how we'll play.

    Goody had a game built around contested stoppages... and the the world moved on. King reportedly has a different game , very different , in mind. Our game of old was all but gladiatorial and British bulldog in style. It worked and then it didn't. I fully expect/suspect a style that builds on verve and flair, playing to footy strengths. A bit of run with pizazz and being efficient. A bit of intelligent footy using skill . Can we do this ? W t f knows ...and thats the point. We can't until we see it. You can neither write us off nor ink us in atm.

    About the only thing I can all but be wholeheartedly assured of is we'll be different.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what that is

    Windsor is the new Robbie!

    NO ONE is the new Robbie.

    Not sure having Windsor as your name is ideal...

    Hopefully Caleb reaches his potential. Even better... hopefully King has a good appreciation of Windsor (🙄) and puts him where hes best suited

    The players page can’t be changed until the draft is done and dusted. This is an AFL decree.

    Well then thats pure bs

    Of course the AFL are a bunch of...

    It's quite frankly ridiculous to have people who are NOT Melbourne players still there.

    What bollocks reasoning do the AwFuL nongs have ??

    There are many elements to a player's history that , as not being that interested (lol ) ... escape me.

    I'm better with numbers and words.

    Someone better situated will come along soon hopefully and put us out of our misery .

    Bub, many out there believe we're at the Crossroads. Did Gawny mention flagging down a ride or Bob?

    No, he did mumble something about needing to dart off ... or off for a dart ...or something...

    Also something about off for a tea... or he needed to tee off 🤔🤷‍♂️

    All very mysterious

    Not an easy one, but gettable. 😁

    These reminds me of when , between construction careers.. took a sabbatical at the the behest of P.K. .. ended up in I.T.

    Believe it or not some of us engineers would get the semi official [censored]/dummies versions of the Official Tech Manuals.

    Why ?... because many manuals are written by the people that developed the equipment/systems. They KNEW each way from Sunday how the bloody thing worked. Invariably those reading the manuals were looking at some gee wizz bang new bit of kit or software. It ( manual ) made Jack sense..

    The other "guides" held our hand until we did. Was kind of funny thinking back considering the value of equipment or importance of the network being built or upgraded. These books never appeared on expense accounts btw ..lol

    The point... we dont all get it and is always easier for the ones authoring it.

    We do appreciate the game 👍

    Was asked a gimme question in a Trivia game recently, which was “which State in Australia is known by the nickname Banana Benders”.

    The funny thing was that I was sitting with a Queensland couple in our group, who did not know the answer.

    Let's face it Red, they're challenged by daylight saving 🤷‍♂️

    Langford had a great debut season, if he can build on that to become more damaging and more consistent I feel like he can fill the void left by Petracca in a couple of years. I'm hoping Lindsay will grow into his role as well, another very good debut season off the back of a limited preseason as well.

    A lot is riding on these two over the next few years, in tandem with Kozzie they should become a quality midfield unit.

    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
