Anyone else having preemptive withdrawal symptoms already?

Ghostie @Ghostwriter revealed a highly classified state secret to me once. "We plan to kick more goals than behinds" was the whisper. Two years on, I wish someone had told the players.

There once was a club dressed in blue, Whose cap tricks were sneaky, it’s true. With numbers they played, Big contracts delayed, Till the AFL said, “We see you!” 😆

I've been thinking about this very carefully @picket fence. This will be Wadey's break out year.

I'm confounded by how we squeeze Jack Billings in under the cap.

I had to read the rest of the thread to understand it wasn't Max Gawn who was going to host another footy show. Seriously.

It eventually climaxed in the last quarter.

For those of you who watched the Giants/Filth game today, here's what we got at pick 6 in the 2024 draft.

No. He retired in 2008 after seven glorious seasons and 259 goals at the Deez.

If you're going to begin bringing facts to the table @daisycutter, you are immediately suspended from 'Land.

A bunfight (noun): A seemingly innocent gathering that quickly turns into an all-out, pastry-fueled battle for dominance. Often disguised as a formal event or meeting, but in reality, a chaotic scramble where elbows are sharp, voices are loud, and decorum is optional—especially when free food is involved. Example: “The office party turned into a full-blown bunfight when someone spotted the last cream puff on the buffet table.”

1. Bring Back Suburban Grounds – With a Twist Every team plays one home game a year at their old suburban fortress, but to keep it “modern,” there are no corporate boxes, no fancy food options, and the only toilet is a single overflowing portaloo behind the scoreboard. 2. Goal Umpires Must Wear Lab Coats and Bowler Hats Again The AFL is all about “tradition,” right? Well, nothing says authority like a bloke in a white coat pointing two fingers like he’s diagnosing you with six weeks in the reserves. 3. Neil 'the Hangman' Busse’s Tuesday Night Tribunal – Live on Pay-Per-View The AFL wants more revenue streams? Easy—put Busse back in charge, bring in a wheel of punishment, and make sure every hearing is hosted by Mick Molloy and Sam Pang. Bonus points if the player has to argue his case using nothing but concocted evidence of the opposition’s player who only felt a love-tap, despite his broken jaw and two black eyes. 4. Kick-to-Kick After the Game—Now With a Draft System Let’s get serious—kick-to-kick isn’t just a bit of fun. It’s a grassroots recruitment tool. Every week, some bloke in a woollen jumper and jeans belts a 50m torp and half time and gets signed by the game’s loosing side. 5. Running Onto the Ground after the game to Pat Your Favourite Player on the Back—By Appointment Only In a nod to safety concerns, you can now book your moment of glory online. Simply select “Enthusiastic Shoulder Tap” or “Full Back-Slapping Experience,” and you’ll be escorted onto the field by a security guard who may or may not confiscate your can of VB. 6. Footy Records Must Be A6, Black & White, and Fit in Your Levi’s Pocket None of this glossy magazine rubbish—just a tiny booklet with player lists, a barely-legible ladder, and exactly one ad for a meat pie company that went bankrupt in 1987. 7. All Games Start on Saturday at 2pm—Or Else Want to play a Thursday night game? Too bad. Sunday twilight? Get stuffed. It’s 2pm Saturday or you’re deregistered as a club. And yes, the match-worn mud-stained guernseys must be left unwashed all season. 8. The Glory of a 12-Team Comp—With a Special ‘You’re Not Invited’ List The league must contract back to 12 teams, but in the interest of fairness, clubs are voted off by an independent panel of old blokes at the pub. West Coast is already gone for “ruining the vibe,” and GWS will be kept only if they promise to never win anything ever with the best list in the comp. 9. Club Corner Returns Every Sunday—Now Hosted by a 1970s Time Capsule Live from an RSL with a sticky carpet, Club Corner makes its triumphant return. No PR speak, no media training—just punk-drunk coaches mumbling through interviews while an old bloke yells at them to “harden up” in the background. 10. Brownlow Votes Are Now Decided by the Most Biased Supporter Groups Why should umpires pick the winner? Instead, votes are awarded based on the loudest pub arguments. If you can convince the bloke next to you that a half-back flanker had “the best game ever,” he gets three votes. Whoever gets through September without being called “overrated” wins the Normie.

Were did Chris Mew play then?

He's yet to learn how to give specific instructions to ChatGPT.

I do believe that this whole problem is fixed by having a different logo depending on who we play.

Let's do a deal for kosi now then. They get kosi, we get reid and Allan.

Richo: They've got one forward, one forward, the Melbourne Footy Club. I'm not commenting cos I might say something.

I recon the whole list will debut in 2025.

Did his manager point out that he's committing long term to work with Peter Bell?

I directed chatGPT to take into account 10 criteria (defined and weighted by me) up to, and including today. This is the result: Brisbane Lions Sydney Swans Carlton Geelong Cats Melbourne Western Bulldogs Hawthorn Fremantle Collingwood Port Adelaide GWS Giants St Kilda Gold Coast Suns Adelaide Crows Essendon West Coast Eagles North Melbourne Richmond

Reminds of all the pre-seasons when Tony Lockett turned up "fitter than he's ever been". My bet is that Trac and Cho Cho are training the house down.

Plugger Mac's turning circle in 2025.

Happy for you to book mark this page and let's revisit it in five years after he's traded or delisted.

Jack Little in commentary: "Spiros Arion, the Golden Greek, has won the bout. Arion is chasing the referee, Eddie Swan, around the ring. He wants to know where the belt is. Spiros, this isn't a title bout!"
