Gus’s retirement has sent a shockwave through the list. He was obviously a shocking loss but it seems he was more of a key component to our structure than we previously realised. His retirement after the trade period is what has thrown us into dare I say list disarray. I watched JJ at Optus live and posted how composed and calm he was with the ball, clearly a fine young player with a bright future, still developing, and had the potential to become a key component in our team. If Gus retired before the trade period I expect James would still be on the list and would have played 24 games for us this year. Go JJ. A re-structure is needed. We rebuilt quickly after a terrible 2019, 2024 hasn’t been anywhere near as bad as that but we again find ourselves with a good draft hand, we’ve done it before and I’m backing us to again re jig the list and be there about s within the next couple of years.

3 AFL Clubs so clearly very close. Thank you Josh, I had high hopes we could help unlock what was needed for you to be a regular contributor. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

I have a recurring dream in which Jesse is a mate and he’s MFC, unfortunately I wake up. Never mind, congratulations to him for winning the Coleman and I too am supporting him, Toby and their teammates this finals series.

I’m about 2 kms from Optus and a number of showers have been rolling through, it’s cool and breezy too.

I was worried for Trac when he came back on the ground after what could have been/is a significant injury! He didn’t look right at all and then to see him strapped in and off to hospital showed what a ridiculous decision to let him back on the ground was. Where was the duty of care for Christian? A really poor decision and with the way we’re playing at the moment and the sudden drop in form has me concerned that this and other, in my opinion poor decisions could be starting to show up in the playing group. Hopefully it’s a blip and we can get back to our consistently competitive efforts.

Chosen club this year I’m afraid to say, too many dodgy decisions to think otherwise.

3/4 crud 1/4 nearly won it!

The Fam and I were at the Carlton end at the final last year, horrendous, so many of them visibly shaking with aggression! There’s passion but that was something else.

Me and the Fam heading to the G shortly in good form with the Prelim and GF wins at Subiaco our most recent Finals 👍 Thinking the loss of Gus early unsettled us last week, expecting our defensive pressure to be dialled up considerably this week and will be too much for the Blues over 4 qtrs. Go Dees

Working on my IPad.

We look spent from midway through the third and that has been the trend in our losses, I’m really questioning our fitness.

Fritters batters the bananas?

Hooley Dooley jimmy crickets what a sublime team effort, back to our suffocating best and we expand out from that. Great win boys.

Been biting my finger nails hoping he’d get through and it’s happened, very happy.

Bayleys off the pack for me, my fist pump is at its most vigorous on that one. Clarrys a close second but for the opposite, an emotional welling up response. Tracks dribble a cigarette paper third for the gobsmacking WOW, that was right over the top of the centre mark on the goal line. Geez I’m loving these feelings 😁
