The whole qld academy access for father sons is an absolute farce. Just reading luke Hodge's kid is part of Brisbane lions academy. Can't imagine hime going anywhere other than Hawthorn, just like Kalani shouldn't be anywhere else but the dees. Thought the academies were about growing the game to people and areas that aren't traditional... as opposed to hoarding players that are destined regardless

Well footy was enjoyable again for a little while. A couple of those early misses go through and the gap might have been just a bit m7ch for the crows to will themselves back into it. JVR taking grabs, Pickett being super dangerous, Melky in best form of career. Absolute signs of life

Vote 1 - Knuckles McVee. Came in with zero expectations and has smashed it out of the park since. Cane see him being a Nick Maxwell type captain - backline focussed, team focussed, someone internally respected that isn't a 'star', not the best player on the list but someone absolutely 100% dependable.

Listening to John Longmire being interviewed on unfiltered on chanel 7. So So So different to the corporate rhetoric we get from Goody. The game will better if anyone (including us) get him back into a coaches box. Like Goody he seems relationship focussed but has an honest country lad feel about it. A big yes from me to chase him!

Travis Cloke improved his goal kicking by training, training and training - working on ball drop, routine and added simulated crowd noise - using headphones. He worked with sport psychologists and became a better gial kicker. Cloke feeling the noise - https://www.afl.com.au/news/112202 There are many aspects to set shot routine - head space, heart rate, fatigue, routine, ball drop and kicking action. Perceived pressure and external noise from crowd wind direction. It really is an artform - to get right more often than not requires practice practice and more practice in all areas of the f50 in all conditions, simulating all of the above factors. I would welcome any of the greats to come down and help work with the guys who take shots. If that's Lloyd, Neitz that's great but others likecloke, matty Richardson who worked hard on the art wold offer serious value as well

Just turned on the tiges v swans.. Tiges 2 goals up...😂 Obviously it's because of us completely breaking the swans a couple of weeks back. They are rabble as a result of the dismantling by us.

With the last few weeks - there has been a stay of execution. Today we won the 'moral' victory of predicted scores.... we lost badly due to goal kicking. Absolutely terrible goalkicking from guys who are paid serious money to kick a footy. All the good work in the coaching box was undone today. The hangman is reaching for the noose again

Was going to go, put it in the diary on the phone and completely missed it this morning until I got the phone out to pay for the weeks groceries..... Ah well missed my 'free' coffee

Those days were awesome 👌 never felt unsafe at any of the suburban grounds - vic park, windy Hill, moorabbin, western oval all had there own personality and witnessed some absolute nut jobs - lots and lots of banter - some awful, most fully in jest. Was always fun getting amongst the local ferals

Just a heads up gang - his basketball team and footy team will be there tomorrow as part of the guard of honour for the teams entrance to the game and 2 younger sisters running out with the team. Tickets provided by MFC for family members of both teams. Big congratulations to the the club for making this happen

Would love to be the one giving the half time spray.....

That's a cracking good kick at goal from Jayden Hunt. Absolutely terrible from us all round though

You'd be stoked if you were compared to Karl. Great footballer

I stand corrected - was Balmey. Could've sworn blue it was danners though - mixing my memories
