Great news about Windsor. Props to the club, I've been pretty impressed with the ability to sign-up the majority of our players in that under 23ish~ bracket. Fingers crossed we get an extension on Tholstrup's contract announced soon too.

It's a fair summation, IMO. For mine the biggest noticeable drop-off has been the impact around the defensive contest. I wouldn't say it's for a lack of trying, but as you pointed it seems more to do with a lack of strength and power, with reference to his historical ability around contests. Obviously, this would also link into the drop-off in a kicks penetration. I still think he has value to us as a club, but he's likely to be of nominal value to another club.

Houston is actually contracted until the end of 2028, not 2027 as readily reported. Melbourne (the only named suitor), would be required to depart with a minimum of one first round draft pick to obtain Houston services and two insiders have confirmed Melbourne is monitoring the situation. There is increasing belief he will request a trade at seasons end and Port Adelaide will likely consider in an effort to increase their draft hand.

Well said.

Generally speaking, I personally doubt whether someone's child romanticism and support for a club lends itself to making a professional decision about their employment, at least to the degree that supporters sometimes expect (or hope). Naturally you have the added impetus of Jeff's career and legacy at the Dees, but from the outside looking in I think there's also a strong pull to him staying on the GC. Time will tell, but FWIW I will be shattered if he's not playing in a Dees jumper.

That sure is a lot of words to say very little.

I personally don't mind him, I think he's far more engaging than a lot of other AFL media personalities out there. He clearly has strong opinions and he generates a lot of attention and discussion. He's fairly similar to KB IMO, although not exactly as rambunctious as KB when he used to be on with Patrick Smith. On the subject matter, I don't necessarily think it's that inflammatory either. If I was an opposition club I'd absolutely be seeing if I can get Oliver out of Melbourne (and as has been pointed out, Morris hasn't implied or explicitly stated that is the MFC's intention at all).

It's absolutely beautiful watching Cornes et al. make adult fanboys have an absolute meltdown.

I could be wrong on this, but I recall reading that replays are compressed and aren't displayed in true HD.

I have the same issues with the F1. Strangely, I only ever seem to have issues with the stream when it's the F1 - including poor syncing of audio to stream or heavily jittery frames.

‘Genius’? Wow.

Dear Straight Set Simon, I look forward to only having to lose one final this year.
