I’ll just leave this here… Clement Freud joke

In the UK, the regular season starts mid August for the EFL clubs and finishes late April/early May. Pre season often starts mid June. A lot of the European continental leagues have a mid season break in December/January and there are also (I think) three international breaks where no domestic football is played in the top leagues. I wonder if the AFL off season is traditionally so long because of the cricket?

Soccer balls out at training tomorrow!

Bumping this one - my 18 yo daughter was gutted that the gig was cancelled but managed to drown her sorrows on the $35k bar tab the band put on to apologise!

My 18yo daughter just told me about this - should be a cracker.

Such a good band 🤟🏼

I noticed the same thing - seems to have got a bit sharper in the last couple of weeks. Website and socials have been pretty average really since Gibbo left.

It’s a terrible deal for just Petracca, let alone weighing in with McVee: what is this - some sort of internal AFL whitewash to ensure the Gold Coast franchise get their man?! This will be picks 11 and 12 in a [censored] draft - these selections have little to no value, even as trade chips.

I would say he works 2 days: comes up one day and works, stays over, works next day, drives home.

Ha ha! Yes - and when the season starts again, our happiness each weekend will be determined by 22 wealthy young men, whom we don’t know, chasing a bag of wind around a field for 2 hours!

Did they say what time, Daz?

No, I think it’s sad that such a talent and once great player for our club is leaving in this manner - regardless of who’s right and wrong. I think it’s pretty evident from his reactions that he’s hurt and lashing out as a result. I’m not excusing it, I just think it’s a shame.

All pretty sad, really, the way this has ended. The pressure is really on Guerra and King now.

Schwab and Pert were footy industry people but Guerra has come in from the real world. I get the feeling that he doesn’t stand for any nonsense or boys’ club BS.

That was a joy to watch: relentless pressure, slick movement and a team playing for each other.
