monoccular

1/. Could have tried Clark Kent in his alternate gear and still wouldn’t have beat our Max 2/ Stevie May says hi.

Electrostatic attraction? Has he hidden some wires in his mitts?

I guess a conspicuous absentee from the past players was the guy who played 42 games between 1989 and 1992, first in #48 and later in #24. 🤭

We need to find a few more for Jacko, Kozzie and the new Sandgropers.

Looks like a dead tree in the background - could remove it to help enlarge the ground?

Both locked up in McGowan’s Empire I believe.

Absolutely brilliant work thanks. I guess a labour of love and must have been a hell of a lot of fun doing it but still magnificent hard work. Can this be pinned indefinitely please mods?

Maybe, for some reason, clubs are reluctant to deal with Essendon

Last night I watched the PF again - looking at Tom in particular. He plays such a measured mature game for such a young man. Huge upside. Could be anything, especially with CP5, Clarry and JV7 still in the mix. Awesome thought.

Maybe a good point re the 5 week reduction in preparation time - in which case it would seem equitable for both the GF and the losing OF teams to play each other in R1. It would take the shorter preseason out of the excuse box.

As I remember, CP5, the reigning Norm Smith medalist, was seen to have a very high ball drop when he started, but has been corrected

The more competition for places the better ….. nobody should feel too comfortable.

Don’t forget #32 in our previous premiership Barrie Vagg. And why move a successful Tom Sparrow from 32 to 2 ? I always remember that Liam Jurrah was only half the player at 24 than he was at 48.

1.138888889 fathoms 0.103535354 chains. Roods would get me censored here.

Questions - is that in the Olympic Park precinct, and what time of year is the Women’s World Cup? (Soccer, I presume).

Maybe looking ahead to the 2042 season and father / son selections.

We have done him a service getting Jim out of that horrible Richmond jumper. Does anyone here know much about him? "Kozzie light"?

Let's hope that Emperor McGowan doesn't deny them exit visas 🤔

So we eventually did get Judd

Back to linguistics - is it not strange the the word "Democratic" in a nation's name (DRC, DDR - old East Germany and Kim's kingdom, the Democratic Republic of North Korea) usually guarantees that there is no hint of democracy. We did have a close match (in a close match by the way) at CHF in our previous premiership, (1964 for those who have very short memories) Graeme Jacobs #20.

" ....secret handshakes between clubs sharing info on who they want, and who they will leave for other clubs. A fraternity of goodwill emerging. ..." 16 clubs - Freo and EssUndone excluded Fraser Rosman (and maybe BaileyLaurie)??

Won't be satisfied until Colonwood's 4 in a row is not only matched but exceeded. I suspect that Jacob's family, being from Zimbabwe, would sound to us Aussies like Afrikaners - maybe he would sound like Yakob fon Rhooyen, though may be know as Jake or even Jakko

As I understand the Jackson family are looking at real estate in Melbourne - maybe the van Rooyens will too?

Welcome. I trust JT to make the call - a tall forward who is given 2-3 y to develop and not rushed as had been the cases over the last decades sounds just what we need. And am I right in saying he is a teammate of Jackson and Rivers?

Surely one or more of the guys could choose, on any day required, to "identify as female" and that would do the trick!
