Maths joke.

Yet you bag the CEO anyway. I would have thought the reasons for the axing were obvious without the need to say why. The media reports about MA Services poor attitudes and problems took place well after the sponsorship agreement started. The report of going into administration was only released this afternoon.

It wasn't as though we were the only ones with their sponsorship. They also sponsored Essendon, Hawthorn and Brisbane, as well as the Australian Grand Prix Corporation. Everyone has dropped them, absolutely correctly. They've also had contracts cancelled by Coles, Sydney University, CBRE (world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm) and been removed from the Victorian Government list of preferred suppliers.

On the subject of numbers, how long does it take Champion data to update clubs to the new player profiles? "Player profiles are updated by Champion Data and the AFL and cannot be edited by the Melbourne Football Club. 2026 Player Profiles will be available following the 2025 AFL Draft."

Have you spoken to any current Melbourne players and coaches to see what they say? Their opinion might be different. There's a reason he was let go.

They were the best all season. But they beat us by 10 points. That's a cause of optimism for me and North are going to get beaten some time. It's up to us to do it. PS. Two of their biggest drivers, Kearney and Shierlaw, are both 36.

I'm not a fan of a lot of corporate speak, but I'm also not a fan of the idea that language doesn't rapidly evolve and change. Or that grammar is static and that it is a negative that a lot of modern language breaks old rules of grammar. Go back over 100 years and see how some rules of grammar at the time seem so anachronistic now. Why would you use "things to learn" when it's three words rather than one ("learnings")? Tim Berners-Lee said one of the worst things about his development of urls was that it takes three times as many syllables to say "www" as it does to say "world wide web". Some time in the future, maybe even now, no one will even think of complaining that we use "should of" instead of should've". (I correct it now, but I'm probably fighting a losing battle.) Who would have thought even 20 years ago that we'd have words like femtech, neurodivergent and onboarding. Or that people would shorten phrases to words, like chillax, bae or inspo.

I learn from lessons. I also learn from mistakes, failures, successes, experiences and trial and error. I'm surprised all this stuff about "learnings" is causing so much trouble.

On ESPN in 2022, Essendon got an A grade for Elijah Tsatas (16 games), Lewis Hayes ( 1 game, ACL), Alwyn Davey Jnr (delisted) and Jayden Davey (delisted). Melbourne got an E for Matthew Jefferson and Jed Adams.

How you can realistically rate a draft until the draftees have played 50-100 games, or alternatively been delisted, is beyond me.

He may be, or he may not. How about we give him a go to see what he can do in 2026 and not pre-judge him as inferior to anyone.

No. But Jaguar only sold 743 cars in Australia last year, and like all models they are imported. They employ fewer than 70 people at their headquarters in Malvern.

They've got over 3500 employees, how big do you want?
