Exactly. Geelong are no longer a powerhouse and we're no longer a basket case that will be flogged. It's a shame there's a lack of seats there that affects our support base but as far as winning or losing goes, we go in as favourites.

That's your off-season MFCSS kicking in. Back on your meds.

WTF? Looks like we're playing a Saturday game (and Tiges for that matter) and then need to back it up on the Wednesday for Anzac eve but the Pies and Bombers have been given extra 1 and 2 days recovery time for their Anzac day game.. I was certain we'd get a Friday game this round but I guess you've got to wear it every now and then if you want an Anzac fixture.

It wouldn’t be a decision taken lightly and most likely would’ve been analysed by all levels of the clubs admin - the pros outweighing the cons. Anyway, it sure beats going to China.

It will be 8 days when we play QB on Monday 10th June.

That is uncanny.

Planning on doing my first Alice trip this year too, Jim.

I was thinking only Melbourne listed players but I like this.... much greater scope now. ?? It’s open slather for the whole AFL, players, coaches, administrators, et al.

Prompted by the nicknames thread and for an off-season laugh, who can you see similarities in from the listed players? I'll kick it off with Christian Petracca and Hymie from Get Smart.

It’s at the G which is great but fair dinkum I’m still pretty deflated by this. Bloody Port.

I'd like some closure on the Gaff chase. If you could broach that with asking "did we withdraw because Gaff wasn't interested in the role Goodwin had envisaged for him" (as per ProDee input) and do we now have an eye on Josh Kelly. I appreciate in advance that this will probably be flat batted but I hope he can give us fanatic's a little more than he did the media at the time. Thanks

I fly into Timika Monday morning. Unfortunately, not for diving.

It goes against the ethos the club is currently and successfully developing. "We're glad he's gone" are pretty strong words.

I find this really unprofessional from an 'assistant coach' to make this statement, if true of course.

Can I recall there being a rough plan to build admin facilities on the existing Gosch's/AAMI park precinct?

Was buying a shirt in Myers at Westfield Doncaster back in '07 (or thereabouts). Browsing away and had to ask a fella to excuse me as I slipped in front of him and as I did I looked up I realised it was Tulip. I was too awestruck to speak.

Ding, nailing of picks aside, in all my time supporting this club I have never felt so comfortable that the development of every single player brought to the club via trade or draft, is in very good hands and clearly adds to the clubs appeal for prospective players such as and which was evidenced in May's comments. I was suspect of Weidemans potential earlier this year but his EF against Geelong put paid to any lingering suspicions. Without Hogan, I expect his progress to come along in leaps and bounds next season.

LOL Spargo is nicknamed 'Chuck'... I've always had the thought of this lookalike.

No change for 2019 but I do support the idea of Max being co-captain with Jack once Jones has stepped aside as his career enters its last couple of years.

Next time you’re over we’ll plan to meet at the Alby bar. I don’t think I left there much after quarter time of the prelim. Maybe for a pee.

Ed: Thursday night footy on 18th April (my mistake thought Anzac eve was Thursday).

Assuming we’ll have one or two home games there. Been that way for a while hasn’t it?

I want the Geelong game to be a rd1 staple just like Carlton and Richmond. GCS in Darwin so we can send our reserves team up there instead of the B22 (assuming the NTexperient is set to proceed as reported). Good Friday night footy possibly before Anzac Eve on Thursday 25th. Maybe a Hawthorn for Good Friday?? Dockers at Optus - not WCE again.
