He's been going on about this for ages, it's a ridiculous notion. Check out how some of those premierships were "won" pre-1897. It was a different comp, with different teams and different rules. Club's can celebrate their own achievements but as far as competition records are concerned they should and do commence in 1897 with the breakaway VFL.

Eagles 7-12 Bengals 1-6

He had a 2nd round of surgery on the hand recently I'm pretty sure

Chiefs 7-12 Giants 1-6 Bills 1-6 49ers 13+

9ers by 7-12 Jags by 1-6 Bills by 24-31 Giants by 1-6 Bengals by 3-10 Cowboys by 14-20 Jets sack MLF, new starter QB (NOT Derek Carr)

9ers, Jags, Bills, Giants, Bengals, Cowboys

I think they'll win one in 24 or 25, 23 probably a year too early especially with Walsh sidelined at the moment. Bloody annoying, I don't want them sitting at the top of the heap on 17.

Essendon, Hawks, Giants, Port and Fremantle 😉

I think that's optimistic and still short of the 80-90k they're likely to get against the Pies/Tigers/Blues/Bombers/Hawks should those sides be up and about

Speak for yourself!!

Thanks for posting od. Just on this comment that "the players love Casey" - it's not necessarily the current players I'm worried about but how it might be a disadvantage in recruiting players from other clubs. If it's between us and Collingwood, Carlton, Footscray, Essendon even Saints, what is the more lucrative location? Obviously there may be other reasons players choose to come to us and creating a great environment is key but at the end of the day all other things being equal it will set us at a disadvantage.

It's not just the travel. if we play Geelong at the G we probably get 40k-50k - maybe 60k at a stretch. Collingwood and Richmond are almost guaranteed 80k and could push 90k.

"Murdoch tabloid" is even being kind, I just refer to it as the LNP/coal lobby Pravda with some Harvey Norman ads on every other page.

It's not just how many members it's how many people turn up to the games.

What will come first the reply email or the training ground? 🤣

Those numbers are for Victoria only right? Pretty sure WCE, Adel etc get every game on FTA in their home state.

This is absolutely outrageous and I am disappointed the club didn't push back on the AFL to demand a proper bye. I can't see any other club so far that has less than a 12 day break and some club's have a 15 day break. Geelong play Thurs June 15 so have a 7 day break leading into our game only 3 days less than us and we have a bye!!! Nevermind the fact we have to play in Geelong again, sick of playing there every single [censored] year

So when is the fixture actually going to be released? Before the new year?

Kardinia Park unavailable first half of the season

Maybe but we were tipped to contend in 2019 too. Hopefully they have a down year before rebounding like a few teams before them (us 2019, Richmond 2016, Geelong 2006)
