Low Attendance
Victorian teams playing home games against GWS, Gold Coast, Port and Freo suggest the AFL weren't all that serious about getting crowds in this week.

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Williamstown
Brown came back into the side last year off the back of a half-pace VFL outing and played a key role for the rest of the year. Must come back in immediately.

POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
It wasn't pretty but neither were most of our home and away wins last year and that turned out ok.

What they are saying at Bomberland
Appropriately, that Friday night game dropped us to 0-3. Would be nice to repay the favour. Also lol @ 2020 being a dead rubber game for us when we had to win to stay in the finals race.

What is wrong with Kayo?
Finally, my opportunity to go on a forum and complain about the nanny state.

What is wrong with Kayo?
Watching on a phone I rarely have any issues staying in one place, but if I'm walking outside it will often pause and put up the 'something's gone wrong' message.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
In a Truman Show style prank the producers would never have let us win. Best storyline would have been to come back from the dead then blow the three quarter time lead. For this reason I'm almost certain that it actually happened and I'm not being strung along in an elaborate scam.

“Sound the Alarm” The Goody Mic'd Up Documentary
This was disappointing, I don't need to rub it in by seeing Bevo have a miserable one but it would have been interesting to hear his comments as the game slipped away. They must have had some say over what went in the final product (or he ripped the microphone out), because I can't believe he didn't say anything interesting during the Mad Minute.

looking for inside football newspapers 1979-1985
If you just want to read them they're on microfilm at State Library. Buying not so easy.

Tasmanian AFL Team
Surely Tasmanians won't seriously accept a reheated team from interstate. Not saying I want it to happen, but they could artificially boost Gold Coast's prospects by merging them with St Kilda or North, creating the space for a fresh team

A 24th Round instead of Practice Matches?
Imagine the carnage when the opening game of the season is the first time new rules are dramatically overpoliced. 70,000 people will go bonkers.

Docklands Stadium Makeover
There is a new stairway down to ground level from the railway side. Presumably the idea is to allow people to cross to the Docklands side without having to battle through traffic coming the other way towards Southern Cross. Still doesn't do much for the crush on the bridge, which is a disaster ready to happen. When something really bad happens they'll look back and wonder if the money wouldn't have been better spent on moving people safely than giving us the chance to see terrible 'entertainment' in 900K HD.

Redraft the AFLW
Any suggestion of divisions in the men's game is laughable because it would drive second rate teams to the wall, but given that AFLW teams are subsidised and they're hell bent on expanding to 18 teams despite having the available depth of a fish pond, there must be an argument for two divisions of nine. * Teams get competition at their own level * Added promotion/relegation excitement instead of dead rubbers galore * Semi-pro players perhaps less likely to run straight towards a top flight team the moment their first contract expires * Bye weeks offer a break to players who are often putting their real lives on hold to participate Adding four new teams is laughable. If anything they should have less, the best players in the comp are very good but there are some dreadful/nowhere near ready players being gifted games at the bottom end just to make up the numbers. On the topic of changing the season dates, what about playing it straight after the men finish - then you can season new draftees in the state league for a year before they play AFLW. Even if the first couple of rounds lack buzz due to people being burnt out after the men's comp, it would land the end of the season and finals right around the point where people are getting jittery to watch footy again. Realistically - nothing will change, the AFL don't really care. If they knew it was going to get them good publicity they'd expand to Fitzroy, University, South Melbourne and the Brisbane Bears as well.

Bring Back One Player
Gerard Healy, Scully and Scott Thompson then play them at Casey. (Turns out the flag didn't do as much for forgiveness as I thought...)

CHANGES: AFLW Rd 07 vs Brisbane
I'd go for this + Petrevski for Parry.

What Happened to State of Origin?
Interstate teams came along.

The Members' Brief
There will be one nuffy in the middle who complains about something ridiculously minor that only they're interested in.

Melbourne Kangaroos???
I reckon he's confusing half-hearted talks with North and the potential Fitzroy merger in 1986. Age 26/06/1986 Age 05/08/1986

VOTES: AFLW Rd 03 vs St. Kilda
This was a hard one, I didn't feel anyone was outstanding so about 10 players could have snuck in for a vote. 5 - Hanks 4 - Harris 3 - Paxman 2 - Lampard 1 - Pearce
-
Dees Primed for Repeated Glory
Still haven't come to terms with singular glory, I might end up in traction if we start repeating.

CHANGES: AFLW Rd 02 vs Richmond
Anyone know if the top-up player Zanchetta in the emergencies was the ex-Brisbane player Jordan?
-
Has 186 been laid to rest?
I don't expect him to remember everything about his career but I will 100% stake everything I own on him playing for Casey that day. Firstly I was there and saw him play, secondly Tom McDonald was walking the boundary in the breaks of the seconds so I suspect he was the emergency, and most importantly Max was named in the best players!

Has 186 been laid to rest?
Gawn played in the seconds. They lost by 130 points. What a red-letter day for the organisation. As of 25/09/2021 I was over it.
