monoccular

Good question. I seem to remember one of our listed rookie rucks played amateurs or local for a while a few years back as there was a glut at Casey. Casey guys could probably help more with this question.

Fact is we went into both finals with threadbare C- forwards yet still were within a couple of better shots at goal, a shonky ARC and a spot of luck from getting into a GF. No I am not at all satisfied that we weren’t able to nail it this season but we came bloody close with a very powerful headwind.

Serious question that I don't have an answer for. There have been "knee people" advocating / advertising over the years (very expensive) stem cell intraarticular injections to help "restore" knee joints. Do any of our physios or orthopaedic / sports medicine people here have any personal experience or considered professional thoughts on these treatments. As I have read it there are a few enthusiasts and many who think it is the work of charlatans. Just interested. I would presume were it in the mainstream it would have at least been explored for Ben at some stage.

…. or maybe neither?

Kane Cornes? Smoke indicating a fire is burning, or the smell of smoke still lingering after the fire has been extinguished?

When you mentioned 99 and Max, I thought that you may recommend him (our Premiership captain Max) to be 99, that is nine times the player he already is. Were that the case we wouldn’t need anyone else on the field at all and could save millions on salary cap.

Maybe 2 and not 1 or 3 will let us asses his true value. Would love it if dazzle and other naysayers had egg on their faces. He is one of our now - support him.

Thought is was a misspelling of something to do with sniffing spray paint from plastic bags, which is what we should tell the Crows to do if they continue to think that this has anything to do with MFC Premiership player Petty.

So, when whoever that guy is from Collingwood retires, BT will be able to find another to say every few minutes "and he has a basketball background" TMcD and BBB can open an omnivore restaurant together - may need seperate kitchens though.

Me too. As I remember some wanted JV7 to take 12. And I sadly remember LJ48 wasn't even half the player when he became LJ24. Not too fussed though really - a first world sort of problem. JS29, aka SOSS29 has worked out ok.

Perhaps it is time to bury this thread deep in the archives

I think my Weiss bar is only half of what it was, back in the day.

Welcome to this madhouse, Tom. You are now a Demon - you will get my full support though I have no idea myself how good a player you are. Someone in our usually spot on recruiting department thinks you are worth a list spot. That will do me at lest for now. I will remain open minded and hope others will too.

Others have covered my reply - early retirement doesn’t clear their salaries from our cap.

All the aforementioned FFs knew how to lead into the path of the ball. Had they been instructed to all gather in the pocket ready for a bomb they would never have achieved what they did. Are our FFs instructed NOT to lead, or haven't they and those upfield, and those instructing them, thought it may be a good idea?

Though they regularly lose members who inadvertently sail off the edge.

Public transport access is probably the best anywhere in Victoria and when the multi billion dollar rail tunnel opens, if it runs ok, will link even more quickly with northern and western suburbs. The Caulfield Station itself needs some upgrades especially improving inter connectivity between platforms without having to leave and re-enter but that won’t affect those whose destination is Caulfield, or who wish to depart from there.

No worries - but Gil or Dill would find some deceitful way of justifying it.

Maybe you would need a psychoanalyst, and some sort of functional PET CT of the cerebrum of Gil (or of Dill) - they seem to dream these things up as they go along.

Great question. Answer TBA MFCSS tells me that the AFL will wait to see what we do before announcing anything. If we part ways they will extend the interchange: if he stays they will change the rule that no ruckman can ever be named on the interchange. 🙄😱MFCSS + PS straight swap for Guerdion (?spelling) would be ok 🤗🤗

and, as well as none of those scenarios working, there were the additional issues of Fritfoot, Pettyfoot, and Melknee. How many hits can a team take in a key area, and survive - in retrospect we did bloody well to finish H&A 4th, and to come very close in two finals.

He would miss the farm, unless we allowed him to cultivate Goshs' paddock or Casey

What sort of injuries? Impact I would accept: recurring soft tissue would be a flashing red light.

Asking for a friend - how old was Max in his breakout game at KP?? I would have thought 24 +/- 1

Do you mean Melbourne's first premiership coach in over half a century who has coached a team to top 4 H&A three years in a row???
