I agree. It may just be the angle the journalist has gone with, though.

A concession membership gets you a reasonable discount on full-price, and full-time students are eligible.

There was significant discussion re: Jackovich on this board and over at Demonology. IIRC, Jackovich didn't make the criteria for minimum games. In case you're wondering, I think this was waived for some players from long ago - some due to war interrupting/ending careers.

Good stuff. Hopefully we've picked a winner.

...and Whelan missed out. What number does Wheels wear? I think 45hotgood knows!

I think that's a long way off for at least two of them

Yeah - sounds like a guy who knows how to achieve his goals. Bodes well.

This 'news' has been done to death, and there are far worse problems in the fixture than having less than 15 games break between the teams you play twice in a season, IMHO.

Mmhmm.

Geelong's premiership team had Ottens and Mooney, who they secured via trades, didn't they? That's not a bad return.

Ouch

The only pavillion I recall seeing was at the oval where we played the NAB Cup match.

Same.

Although it's a 50/50 chance, I find it strange that people would think the Dees were going to make top eight this year.

I don't know anything about Riggio. How quick is he? What sort of opportunities is he getting at the Roos?

Oh dear

I like it.

DB asserted that both White and Jamar were performing at an average or worse level lately, and many other Demonland members will agree. I think White's one possession in the second half vs Sydney is some evidence of him not playing well.

I wonder how Prismall would be going for us this season, if we had him. In strong teams, it can be easier to come in and play well when you get the opportunities (games + game time), because you don't come in for much attention.

Anything's possible, but I can't see this coming to fruition for a while yet (if ever). In the short-term, I'd be happy to see him consolidate a spot in our 22, let alone nailing down a midfield role.

Sounds very positive

Hopefully Petterd, Bell, and Newton continue their improvement. Looks like Meesen might get the number one ruck mantle this week.

Just ask him out already. It's clear you've got a crush on Y_M.

Ballarat in Ballarat.

Yes, we should change our away strip. Our CEO has acknowledged that the current strip is unpopular, and have asked the AFL if we can get a new strip designed ASAP. Fwiw, this was discussed extensively after the St. Kilda game. If you're interested in people's views, you may want to look at threads from back then.
