  1. Jay Lockhart is still with Southport. He snagged a couple for them in their win over Port Melbourne yesterday.
  2. Busted rib(s) - don’t expect Maysie back before the Anzac Day Eve game.
  3. That looks like happening because Essendon have decided to open their war chest and spend it on a longish contract starting at $800-$850k per annum. And their fans wonder why they haven’t won a finals game for almost a couple of decades.
  4. 6. Steven May 5. Clayton Oliver 4. Jack Viney 3. Joel Smith 2. Christian Petracca 1. Tom Sparrow
  5. FWIW, this was the rule that applied in 2019:- “In order to be eligible, each player must have played at least one AFL, VFL or Development game in 2019. If they have played an AFL home and away match after the 1st of July, they must have played at least six VFL games during the season to remain eligible.”
  6. I wonder if these games are some sort of litmus test for the future of an AFL team in Tasmania? It will be interesting to see what sort of crowd they get for the game. These are the numbers for the last five North Melbourne matches:- Last year 26/06/22 vs Adelaide 5,072 23/07/22 vs Hawthorn 9,713 * 27/08/22 vs Gold Coast Suns 2,459 This year 13/05/23 vs Port Adelaide 6,310 11/06/23 vs GWS Giants 5,025 Back in 2015 and 2016, they attracted two crowds in excess of 17,000 vs Richmond both times. The record for the ground was 18,149 in a BBL match Hurricanes vs Strikers and they had some good ODI crowds around a decade ago but the numbers have tapered off recently. With local opposition to the proposed AFL Hobart Stadium growing, the Tassie Devils might still struggle to get off the ground. Still interested to see how many people the Dees can attract tomorrow. * clash between 2 clubs that play home games in Tassie.
  7. Same time as the Narrm game at the G?
  8. The entire state is an island.
  9. I favour the club being named Hobart to match cities or suburbs which applies to most clubs. I like the Hobart Islanders.
  10. Good that Harmsey got to play … do we assume then that if a sub plays one quarter or less in his AFL match then he can play in the VFL the next day?
  11. My head tells me that Hawthorn has no show of beating Fremantle in Perth but my heart says otherwise. Still, I remember very well the Sunday evening when Collingwood went over there and upset them in the rain. I think it was the start of the Magpies run and, in all likelihood, the defeat that cost the Dockers a top four berth so here’s hoping.
  12. I wouldn’t treat the Suns in such a cavalier fashion after their win over Richmond yesterday.
  13. Don’t know if we’re still interested. It mentions our interest earlier on but are we still interested in Henry? “The Herald Sun reported in March the Demons were interested in securing Pickett’s good mate Liam Henry from Fremantle, given he was out of contract and out of favour.”
  14. Well … we might know a little more in 2 hours time when the squad is reduced to 22 players plus the 4 emergencies
  15. It should be added that for much of the time he was at the club, he was in some form of rehab and was unable to really show his wares. Hope he takes up a place at Casey and works his way up through there.
  16. I was driving southbound down Punt Road this morning at around 10 and there was nobody to be seen on the training track over at Goschs Paddock. Does this mean that the club trained elsewhere today?
  17. It’s always been an advantage for a ruckman to be mobile. Nothing new at all.
  18. I really do like this draft and hope that Melbourne can somehow trade it’s way into a better draft position with its second pick to make it even more interesting for us.
  19. That he’s a damned good footballer who would fit into and improve most AFL midfields. Worth a look for Melbourne but I have no definite information that we’re interested.
  20. Heard a whisper about Claremont’s Bailey Rogers who won the Sandover Medal this year. Aged 24 and very talented. Would make a good fit in our midfield - that’s how good he’s supposed to be!
  21. Reckon that Scully character didn’t leave us on the best of terms. I couldn’t give a rat’s about what he thinks about our premiership glory.
  22. We’re being told that the lockdown’s over but there are restrictions and regulations which will continue to apply for some time.
  23. Charlie Constable is one who really has me stumped. He was an All Australian Under 18, a tall midfielder who had a terrific start in 2019. Played in a big game in Round 1 for Geelong vs Collingwood with a win on the G. For his round 2 performance he had 31 disposals and a goal in the Cats’ 80 point smashing of the Dees at GMHBA Stadium. That effort earned him a nomination for the 2019 AFL Rising Star award. From there, his career went backwards and after a 12 game career at the age of 22, he’s been delisted from a club that’s starving for youth. He’s been outstanding at VFL level with big possession games averaging more than 30 disposals a game and getting more than 40 in consecutive games. What’s wrong with him?
