Meetings are taking place with key governmental stakeholders. I think this will get done. Working with government agencies in my line of work, I know they have strict announcement clauses and announcing to members is made difficult for this reason. I've been a big critic of the administration over the last little while, but I'm prepared to give them a little longer. What I would advise is that the administration STFU about announcing any updates to members, because it sets a perfectly reasonable expectation from members for a promises to be kept. It's a difficult funding environment at the moment, but I think they potentially need to get more creative. It's in the Monash precinct, a partnership with their sports science faculty seems a no brainer that I've never heard any discussion around. If state and/or federal funding falls through, we need to strengthen our case for that funding by value adding. Education spending is always a pretty good angle. I'd have been exploring that route before going to governments. Maybe they did, but I doubt it.

It's a 38 game season in the EPL. But these fixtures are interspersed with Champions League competition (for the qualifiers from the previous season), the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, plus international duties for certain players. The key difference between football and footy is the contact nature of footy. I believe the aerobic requirements of modern footy also trump football (marginally), and there's more rest moments in a game of football. In other words, they're not entirely comparable. You just have to be physical and mentally fit for football, whereas footy has the physicality and contact that football doesn't.

Or he'll be compensating for another's shortcomings (Richardson), like Cook is doing for Guerra. Surely they wouldn't make this hire unless it had a specific focus we're not over as outsiders. It'll be interesting to read what the club says about the role.

I agree that it's great to have Cook involved but it's a great pity we weren't able to attract a CEO that didn't need Cook to teach him the ropes. As for Guerra's extensive business experience, could you outline this for me please? Outside of the position at VCCI, what are his business credentials? He is apparently a great networker, but is that enough?

Vice Prez is a political novice and CEO is a football novice. We need better attributes for the board.

So disappointing...

It'll be interesting to see what low expectations allow us to deliver on output next year. Most will have us in the bottom 6 and most wouldn't have a clue (myself included) who will actually play midfield and whether they can step up now minus Trac/Clarry. We might just find that Rivers, Lindsay, Langford, Windsor, Kozzy, Steele and Viney is an incredible mix, better suited to the modern game.

Most of Victoria's debt is 0.1% and owned by one hand of government, the RBA. No such semis are likely to be bought up by the RBA to fund this.

Most of Whitney's greatest songs IHMO were written by the brilliant George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam. I believe 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' is one of the greatest songs of all time. I'm sure the boys listened to that or 'How Will I know (How Good Steven King Will Be As Coach)' when the CEO was busy getting himself lost in the bush. I hope the latter is not a metaphor for his time in the big job. At least he found the desk after six months. BTW, why did the new CEO go on the camp? I'd prefer him making sure we don't sign sponsors affiliated with bikie gangs.

Let's be honest, Jack was told he'd play midfield. Tick. He was told we want to play a fast, attacking game. Tick. We'll have to wait until 2026 to see how it rolls out on the field.

The point I was making is that May and Stewart are excellent interceptors. That's Taylor's role.

Which didn't bother May or Tom Stewart...

Did Guerra do this deal?

Does JT not literally say if Essendon take Sharp, we'll pick Taylor and Pickett? Or am I going crazy?

Great content except they missed night 2 of the national draft...
