Great you are back for 2025. Question - We know how important injuries and fitness are to results in the modern game. How do you think we stack up against our opposition in this regard, at this stage of the year?

That really is a ridiculous quote. It looks like it’s made up to me. You could also say that a lot of people believe in aliens - doesn’t necessarily make it true.

Can someone remind me what Andrew Thorburn’s story was?

I watched Kozzie’s video back to his home town last week and Clarry seems 100% invested to me. I’d be surprised if he’s not back to his absolute best next year in the red and blue.

This is fantastic and everyone should watch it!

Yes, absolutely unbelievable. Kane Cornes has already decided that a fine is mandatory- I thought the umps had a shocker (for both sides) but no mention of that in the media.

Isn’t the bigger issue here that the AFL has seen fit to actually drive to Geelong today to let him get clarification on all this. I think that is totally inappropriate- if anything he should be getting a “please explain”!!! https://www.afl.com.au/news/1130088

I was born in 1976, and my dad was a demon supporter. His dad was a demon supporter too. So was his dad. I don’t know about his dad. Needless to say, my 2 kids (teenagers) are Melbourne supporters too.

That was great. I didn’t appreciate how hard it would have been to come back from the drubbings in his early career. At the elite level, that would shatter your confidence so to overcome that, end up captain, b&f and premiership player is amazing.

What was the cause of the apparent difference in fitness levels between 2022 and 2021, and the capacity to run out games? I appreciate he may be limited in what he can say, but I think it’s worth asking in any case.

I was there tonight, and it was hard to believe Geelong won the flag. Carlton weren’t much better and did their best to lose the game.

My daughter saw Gibby in the flesh at Ed Sheeran the other week. She was shattered when I told her he’d left the podcast and therefore no prize for her 🤣

As a secondary question, how does he perceive the difference in fan cultures between the two clubs? Great podcast by the way.

Horrendous if even partly true. I’m not sure how anyone would think that those actions are good for any footballer’s career. How was that meant to improve performance?

Cheers - thanks for that. So who came to us from that region? Was Garry Lyon via the zone? Yze is from that area but he must have come via the draft. is there a notable MFC supporter base in that area now? I lived in the Wimmera years ago and there are a heap of Essendon supporters there, which I think is due to the zoning.
