Maynard unscathed
I vaguely remember some years ago - in the 20 teens - that there was some discussion here regarding trading for or somehow picking him. Why not both Moore getting a ruptured spleen AND 💩 getting concussed?

Changes at AFL HQ
Fixturing including who plays where (who visits Geelong every year, and who never goes, who travels interstate least) Unmanageable rules like “insufficient intent” as if umpires are genius mind readers Yes, amateur umpiring and a conflicted MRO.

2025 MFC Injury List
Fractured scapula sounds a really unusual injury - if it is to the body of the scapula (the flat bit) I think management would be symptomatic. If it involved the shoulder joint it would be more problematic, and if to the pointy bit at the top, the acromion, I suspect it would be described as such.

Geelong to be fined over 3rd party payments
It so sure that many people believe that at all. I don’t . Collingwood Geelong Carlton fans pretend it is true.

Thanks 👻, and others for their reports. So was Salo’s soccer session extremely short, or are you just slow on the draw with your phone? 🤔

No. I think we need a smaller forward who can kick goals.

PODCAST: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Hi guys - really looking forward to this one - best win in years, and second consecutive win against last year's grand finalists! Goal conversion is still disappointing, though 4 posters, and a couple touched on the line unfortunate. Final quarters, our nightmare earlier in the season, have been fantastic last week and this. Are both sides of this issue a result of our training program? Couldn't be more contrasting . If he is concussed, this may be a solution to the ongoing Spargo dilemma. Contributed very little other than one solid tackle prior to being subbed off - I wondered if he was to be subbed off very soon anyway. Sharp certainly took his opportunity with speed, pressure and a couple of goals. Was Lever lame in the final minutes? Seemed to be hobbling. TMcD is ready and waiting. Take the Saints seriously. give them a hiding, and it will make a massive King's Birthday.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Yes, but one game at a time. Still need to give the Saints a good old fashioned flogging. AJ didn't hit the scoreboard but although stats say only 2 goal assists, he was heavily involved in several more, AND provides real contest in ruck duels, and the ground ball scramble that often follows. Sharp provided spark when he replaced an underwhelming Spargo. Lever seemed to be hobbling in the last minutes - same injury or not? TMcD would be a well justified replacement. Selection will be interesting. AND we just cannot afford to let so many chances go begging against better sides.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
Meanwhile JV7 is about to miss his third game with concussion, which earned a one game suspension. He has had a few concussions: I hope that this isn’t going the path of Angus, who was concussed into retirement by “a football act”😡

2025 Free Kick Differential
Shhhh Don’t draw attention, this week, that MFC is way ahead of $ydney. Instructions will come from HQ to start evening it up 😮 MFCSS recurring. Anyone know a cure, other than the one we found in 2021?

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Would prefer Spargo, who some excuse as coming back from injury, playing a few weeks at Casey with K Brown herring a decent seniors run in the same role. Come list management time we will have the likes of Brown and Woey without sufficient exposure from which to make a hard call. or May (managed)? so does that mean that every player in a chain from deep defence to a goal of uninterrupted would get a goal assist? Just asking. Recovering from a long injury layoff with half a dozen senior games doesn’t seem logical to me. Lever came back (or will be coming back) via Casey so why not Spargo? Maybe the usual ABC “fact checker”?🤔

2025 MRO & Tribunal
And that wasn’t read at AFLHQ that there is a massive lack of impartiality or objectivity displayed by the MRO ever since he was appointed.
