2026 VFL Fixture
It astounds me that someone in the media has not bought this terrible competition up for discussion.

Early reports and views on new players
Time will tell OD but it was time to change coach. We were stuck in a time warp. New ideas now abound.

Early reports and views on new players
Oh you have fun ahead DD. Mine started at about 24, except for sunburn ( just remember a hat) and occasionally hitting your head it's all fine. Honestly it has never worried me. The up side you save a fortune on Shampoo. Please don't wear a wig they look ridiculous.

Training Ground?
My thoughts exactly George. I hope perhaps desperately that Caulfield gets the green light very soon but I am far from confident.

Jai Culley Breakout Season?
Funny my father long ago when I was playing under 18's said it is pity you don't have long blonde hair. You need something to make you stand out. I think he was just being nice as my ability sure didn'take me stand out.

I have seen very little comment on Kolt. Is there any sign of improvement this year? I have a gut feel the top level is beyond his ability.

2026 Injury List
Your first para says it all DS. The fact that Viney might not play till April is no big deal. He is into his 30's and it's a long season I would rather him be in form in June. There are two in that list who will be missed the rest are depth players at best. It also gives a few players who could not get a game under Goodwin and we have bought in players through the draft etc who will step up some earlier than they might have expected. I doubt we will trouble the premiership this year but I think it is not being overly optimistic to expected to finish 8th or 9th

2026 Injury List
I think we can be confident he will once again be the best ruckman in the comp. I seriously doubt there is much he could learn in the pre season.

I thought it sounded strange mono.

I hope not as I cannot see him replacing Kossie anytime this century.

Or suspension. It will be an exhibition match.

You have my vote pf. I don't think he has the body need at the top level. He had injury problems at the crows.

So who plays next year?

If there is no Vic. Team involved it will die quickly. Does any Victorian have any interest in who wins out of a SA vs WA clash. Without keen Vic people it's ratings will be terrible.

There is obviously not much to amuse us fanatics when we are worrying about the level of Sharps fitness. He is not a top 25 player. But I guess we need players for the Casey side.

Spot on rjay. The AFL will humour the ones who think it is a good idea for a couple if years and then drop it

Training Ground?
PTJ It's a postage stamp why do you think the Hawks went to Waverley! The facilities are 1950's level. It's not the answer.
