Bayley Fritsch Contract Talks
I have previously advocated thta there should be a paid position of Team Mum. Ghostie's a shoe-in.

Farewell Steven May
Favourite memory - the look on his face after the Grand Final when told he played the match with a 3 (?) centimetre tear in his hammy.

GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs North Melbourne
If you can access a web browser on the TV, log in through the website. I have done and worked for me. Otherwise, you have to go through the whole QR code shuffle, which will take till half time.

Jeffo Ready to Soar in 2026
I would argue if you have skill and determination, you don't necessarily need mongrel. In support, I present Exhibit A - Robbie Flower, Exhibit B, your honour - Jim Stynes. (And yes, if I were either of them, I'd still fancy having a Rod Grinter or Byron Pickett in my team.)

PREGAME: Practice Match vs North Melbourne
You are correct, but missed the best option - pub with Foxtel. When supporting the mighty Dees , proximity to alcohol is advisable.

INTRACLUB: Friday 13th February 2026
And Byron could rest in the backpocket. Only required if opposition gets untidy.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 12th January 2026
That looks exciting to watch. Gonna need stamina for 4 quarters of that!

Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
So long as they can learn 'em to kick gooder when they verse other teams, I'll be happy.

Welcome to Demonland: Thomas Matthews
The current media team make Benny Gibson look like Walter Cronkite.

Banno out for Edo would be my theory.

Totally forgivable off the superior use of 'whomever'. Ghosty can continue the Chicago drug dealer argot provided she serves up a whomever or whomsoever occasionally.

Welcome to Demonland: Changkuoth Jiath
If we're going for speed, athleticism and totally unpredictable disposal out of the back line, let's go the whole hog. Bring back Frosty!! Seriously, I'm looking forward to CJ in the red and blue. He's exciting. What's lacking can be taught.

Farewell Judd McVee
Lily, a Tasmanian, was on the Pt Adelaide list. I suspect Twomey read the label and not the list of contents!

GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
Prediction is 10 to 15 kmh winds by game time. Your hard work will be OK.

PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Naah. It's like country footy. They called for volunteers to play Collingwood and an insufficient number have put their hand up at this point.

Channel 7 already has enough photographers. Your next job is Team Mum. The club should create a paid position. And I so advise.

PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
I'm not sure he's assisted by the current game plan which doesn't seem to contemplate having an actual forward line. Contest and defense only accounts for 2/3rds of the ground.

BMac early father / daughter pick for AFLW. In and under. Knows how to get it.

New coach prospects
PJ got Roos from a similar situation.

GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
I was at Waverley sitting next to Brent Croswell (injured) who went down to hear Barassi's 3/4 time spray. On return, he reported the great man's inspirational speech was "don't get done by 100 points".

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 12th February 2025
Thought I might join the chat. McAdam is highly skilled, with evasive tricks and a good footy IQ. Marks as if he were taller, like Fritta. He's done the work and I look forward to his first game, where he kicks 3 and dishes off a couple. Have prescribed vitamins to avoid further injury / illness and a small dose off apotropaic magic to ward of negative DL comments. He'll be fine.
