Sydney Pennski

My info is that he’s going to Carlton if he’s going anywhere.

Once Geelong comes to grips with the fact that King is handling its IP at the pointy end, I suspect they might have some second thoughts and let him go to Melbourne sooner rather than later. Hopefully, he’ll take Max Holmes with him.

Average height of the team just went went up by 6cms.

From the Pennski File Melbourne fans are well known for their pessimistic outlook, and my expectation from this game is that the roof is about to fall in. With the exception of Kozzie, the Dees finally found their kicking boots last week with 18.11. I highly doubt that this performance will be repeated this week. Meanwhile, dual Coleman Medallist Charlie Curnow, who has recently struggled with his kicking, posting 0.9 in his last four games, will kick five straight as the Blues fall in by a point in controversial circumstances after Adam Cerra accidentally bumps into a field umpire preventing him from paying a free kick to Bayley Fritsch right in front of goal as the siren sounds.

Interesting free kick stats from the two two Kings Birthday Weekend games between the Demons and the Magpies ~ • AFL Pies 29 frees Demons 20 frees • VFL Pies 33 frees Demons 17 • Overall Pies 62 frees Demons 37 frees We really do play dirty, don’t we?

Did Jai Culley miss out on getting picked in the SSP because his name sounds suspiciously like the bloke who can’t be mentioned here?

Good to know that the kid’s got skin in the game.

Please don't inundate us with your reports all at once folks.

On Luker, I think it's incumbent on a club to at least provide a basic report in the case of a player who hasn't been at training for long periods of time. Particularly to ensure there's no idle speculation going on.

I reckon that Tommo will win the B & F at North's VFL side even if he plays full back.

Quite frankly, on a per game basis (16 Brownlow votes), Tracc provided fantastic value for the club in 2024 - matched only by Patrick Cripps.

Yeah - reckon the camera was a shade better than the one on my iPhone.

They won’t be in the spotlight. This story will be buried deep by the end of the week.
