Its also only a practice match if we win!

If anyone could do it, Daisy could. She is articulate, intelligent and a proven leader. She should be the lead commentator for any network, or could enter coaching. She is a great operator, and will do well wherever she goes.

Just Cal’s opinion, but… Would be interested to know what it is based on - body of work, last year, peak performance, potential? Also, wouldn’t all Australian count for something? Club b and f finishes? Seems like he just made it up as he felt like it.

Also, hard to see Gus going anywhere. Get past the cba and see what happens….

Thanks for the reports - really great work! reading about our hit out, where our stars dominate, is so much better than the Roos report on AFL.com where a bloke who has played one game in 3 years and a new recruit are dominating. If that is the best they have got… (we used to be in the same spot a few years back, hoping all new recruits would change the world). I can only wonder how 30 goes into 23 - picking the team for round 1 wont be easy, and could have up to 5 changes from the GF team. Imagine if we did that and got better again?

Scott should have said ‘I’m surprised it wasn’t postponed as only one team actually turned up’…. Suck on a savaloy Scott.

I think this year depth may be a key success factor, with ‘health and safety protocols’. Running deep on all lines may be vital to winning games this year. Hopefully we have a squad deep system, and even if we lose several front liners, the next group can step up and deliver high class efforts.

Lets see if it applies broadly or also includes Duckwood and co

Academies should not be created just for draft advantages. It should be part of community building, giving less advantaged kids a chance. As an upside, it also gives us a chance to build supporters in these communities and create connection between communities and our club. They are powerful for those that get the benefits, and low cost/impost on clubs to run. I am all for them, even with the loss of access to top end talent because of the rule changes.

Thanks. Before I drive 90 mins, I’m hoping to find something more official? Otherwise I’ll find a good and hit the highway…

Reckon it makes me fair game, my screw up. But if I know when to take off my tin foil hat I could even do a genuine training report!

@Demonlandor other mods, can you please update (by 2 years) the heading? Cheers

Apart from my obvious typo [censored] up, any info would be welcomed …

Hi all, I really appreciate the preseason training threads (big shoutout recently to Pickett Fence and others). I wanted to help out and get down to a session or 2, but have no info in where or when they may be. Nothing obvious on the website. Anyone have any details?

Sounds like what you can pick up at the drive through of Frankston Maccas

At Christmas lunch I asked my nutter Hawks MIL if she could just pop the GF replay on the telly. Went down as expected, made me a happy man. Had to suck down years of their smug [censored]. Nice to put a cats bum look on the old girls face!

Watched the replay (again). So many magic moments that BT simply misses. There are so many small acts that add up to greatness. 15 goals to 1. Unbelievable. mrs Nekkid sees me watching the replay : ‘are you winning?’… ‘not right now, but I have faith’ (bang, bang, bang, bang, etc)!! glorious!

A second rounder, two thirds and a fourth. Makes for a good points swap for a first rounder for a few teams seeking sons of guns (Ashcroft to Lions, Davey to Bummers). Can see us trading back in.

We have a good spread of players in our best 22 that have a premiership medallion, too. Would think it might be the best in the comp come round 1, 2022!

Don’t expect anything before 48 hours before the season starts…. I read somewhere they would prefer another year of ‘consolidation’ re rules rather than change, by who knows?

How bad do they want it? Pretty bad based upon those pics !

Last year we got through virtually injury free at the pointy end. Cant expect that again. Depth is critical, and it encourages fierce competition for spots. Looks like a good rotation set, maybe Rosman and Howes also in that mix but further back as developing wingers

Hi Demonlanders, due to some family ‘excitement’ I missed getting tickets to the Bluey this year. If anyone finds they cannot go, I would be happy to take 2 tix off your hands. just putting it out there….

Post your details, I’d rather buy it from you (if you are a retailer, of course!)

I bought an item 6 weeks ago, it hasn’t arrived and has been discounted since! They dont respond to email or phone calls. Pretty crappy really.
