Maybe a spiked headband would eventually deter a few? Maggots don’t give a damn.

Thanks all for your reports. Any idea what Joel Smith is rehabilitating from this time?

The word "principle" (nor "integrity" for that matter) should never be used in connection with the AFL, especially in regard to their scheduling.

Thanks Deespicable for the report. Do you really think that CP5 has a mental v/ attitude problem, or that maybe success has gone to his head? If so it is a real concern as his contribution is absolutely pivotal, and it needs to be addressed asap by himself and Choko and SG. Any sign of young Burgoyne? Great news re TMcD

Action - point taken, however (in general) I don't think captains should start on the bench. The leader needs to be there at the first bounce to lead.

I think I saw shots of BBB at training without any knee bandage / support which suggests that he has recovered to whatever extent he can from his surgery. I still would be extremely surprised if he were to play more than maybe half the games?

Throw in the Kardinia Park loading and can anyone seriously consider that the AFL isn’t corrupt?

Our forwards will have to retrain, or else he will have to learn to bomb it high and long !!🙄

Not sure that we agree, but our disagreement has far lower interest from AFL to Richmond Carlton Colonwood and EssUndone. I guess the “loading period” time frame is totally in the capable hands of our training staff.

I suspect that you are right, but Hibberd without any doubt will be doing his darn deer, as he always does.

Great to be back discussing footy. There are certainly similarities in the way they go about their games between RDB and Clarrie, but in physique I see more of CP5.

Thanks for the podcast - entertaining as usual. Jason seems a deep thinker and also looks outside the square - very modest but laid back. OMG he must watch hours of videos every week as well as hours of junior, and not so junior games. Presumably he has spotters to draw his attention to prospects, but love the dare and initiative to track down Sestan - if he turns out even a fringe contributor it will be a master stroke.

We wouldn’t expect to see May until after midnight April 30 surely.

Surely MFC folk don’t mix with commoners 😱

For Hibberd?

But some areas like biff behind the play and elbows to the head have largely disappeared which would leave the likes of Nichols, Dyer, Matthews, Rhys-Jones missing a lot of games. I must say I had always thought that Wise was much taller. He was the first that I can recall who, like Jimmy later, rucked all day.

Then those here who were disappointed we took Clarrie instead of Parish would feel vindicated.

If he goes again to Bali he needs to check on the new Indonesian laws regarding “intimate interactions”.

spirit - even though both are in NT the venues / conditions are like chalk and cheese. Enjoy

Frittata is a bit of a hybrid trek though - doesn't get the luxury feeds as the likes of Lloyd used to, and even Hawkins in the contemporary context. IF our mids / half forwards were to lower their eyes and hit targets on the lead the sky is the limit.

Maybe after their lack of street sense after initially announcing the women's competition as Australian Women's Football League, AWFL, only to turn it around as AFLW, they have spent countless hours dreaming up this and just couldn't think of anything better. Abut all there is to say

Superstitious nonsense. In fact believing in superstitions always brings bad luck 🙄

What a surprise. 🙄 And I wonder how long it will take for Dees v Dogs to become “a traditional round 1 game”. It took about 2 or 3 years for ANZAC Day to become traditional Col v EssUndone and similar time for opening game to be Car v Toiges.

Should at least be fitter after a preseason.

I certainly hope and expect that you are right, but I am sure Luke Dunstan came across with the same thoughts.
