  1. Hardly surprising with his complexion.
  2. I dislike Geeling with rare intensity. My GD played a basketball game there on Friday night which they lost. I hated it every bit as badly as watching AFL.
  3. Hmm sadly imo it makes our players look shorter and thinner. Whereas the cats horizontal stripes makes them look bigger and more robust. Roos look taller.
  4. I suggests there is close to nobody who is on demonland who has been at the camp.
  5. The current system is a disgrace. Too many byes / too few games. Gives players trying to step up to senior team fewer chances to improve/ show their talents. Senior players trying to return from injury sometimes sit on the side lines for weeks without a game to play. It's now a quasi national competition that's called the VFL.
  6. DD I am not sure I care. I have no control and the powers will select someone I can only hope they make a good choice. I know it is a very important position but I am way more interested in who plays in 2025.
  7. Yes don't hold your breath tc.
  8. My wife had exactly the same problem with Amazon this we DJ.
  9. The best we can hope for is he plays a lot of good games at Casey!
  10. Mcadam nowhere to be seen!
  11. Then we are in total agreement
  12. Both are VFL standard Saty, only way they will get senior games will be because of injury.
  13. That's majority of games I can go to.
  14. Four games from first 16 games that I will likely attend. Of the rest mostly likely tv . AFL will be happy.
  15. Thats probably a very good reason not to get him.
  16. The drip feed is well under way. I hate to save this but the AFL play this game well. There is a lull in AFL over the period between the Melb cup and drafting. So they release the fixture bit by bit to fill the gap. If it was ever a mystery that the fixture is all about maximising the audience for the media at the expense of people going to games this is it. They don't care about the problems of fans going to games on Thursday nights and Sunday nights. It's all about TV ratings first, last and in the middle. Why do I still buy a membership when I go to less than 50% of games? It's because after 60+ years I cannot stop trying to help the MFC. I have mentioned on a number of occasions how much joy I get from my GD's basketball. She has now moved up to a higher level team, they play Friday nights. I will be going to watch her games which will be played around the northern/ western suburbs as well as cities like Bendigo it is not a contest for my attention. All things AFL now run lower on the needs basis for me. One giant thing that impressed me about basketball at this level is how connected you feel to the players and staff. I don't feel connected to AFL any longer and this media first/ people attending last makes me less connected every year. Sorry for the ramble.
  17. Yes a real chance at Manangatang this year.
  18. I hope you are correct.
  19. Thank god I need another cold winter night game like a hole in the head.
  20. You have a higher opinion than me ww. VFL level talent at best IMO.
  21. I heard they were approached but declined. Something about ruining their reputations when they will soon hit the job market.
  22. Never forget the Blazers!
  23. It's way better than 7.30 on Saturday night.
