This is it? Really? Wow . . . they are truly paddling up stream in a barbwire canoe. Watching the tankers shirt themselves on cue is always entertaining for me.

Nothing they would think would come anywhere near some of the diabolical things I've thought about the Dees over the years.

I give several tosses about all Dees going around at other clubs.

My thoughts are with Jack Dyer and his loved ones today - absolute nightmare of a game to call.

who is Australia sending to this comp?

Gabriel Marcel is a legend. I'd almost give him my no.5 jumper.

For those unfamiliar with Gabriel Marcel, his whole philosophy centres on presence; the idea that some beings are so fully there that their absence creates a wound in the fabric of your world. Christian Petracca is that presence. When he gets 34 disposals at 87% kicking efficiency, kicks 3 goals and is cheered off the ground by people wearing yellow, Marcel's concept of the broken world reveals itself in its fullest horror. He is not absent. That's the problem. He is radiantly, magnificently, heartbreakingly present — just present somewhere else. Marcel also wrote about fidelity — the sacred bond between a person and what they love. People, I have been faithful. I watched every game. I defended him on here. I own the number 5 guernsey. And fidelity, Marcel tells us, is precisely what makes betrayal cosmically devastating rather than merely inconvenient. It's not heartbreak. It's an ontological rupture. Someone check on me.

I haven't been able to do that for 20 years.

The only launch I'm interested in is those undertaken by the Picketts.

Maynard is retrospectively suspended, and we receive a full refund from the AFL, Angus is appointed Head of Commission.

He's part of the new breed of fowards - think big, mobile, runs up and down the ground with great hands. Kinda a hybrid Lockett, Ablett, Dunstall, Cameron, Pedo type. Expected him to start in the reserves - probably as 19th man.

Of the Big Three we’ve lost since the end of ’25, this man will easily be the hardest to replace. The best big backman of the last 60 years (at least) to play for the club. Could hold gorillas and mids - few have done that consistently over multiple years in my time watching footy. Under rated/appreciated by some, but those of us who watched him every week know that without his on field contribution. we don’t win in ’21. Will alway love Maysie and be forever grateful for helping to deliver the Holy Grail. Always in my heart.

As far as I can tell, he avoided body contact.

I’m calculating percentage now - big chance we win the Commodore/Army Reserve/Escort Cup this year.

Just came out of a meeting - score update please?

“Jeffo, get the ball”. There. Fixed.

Could we now retrospectively award the following a Brownlow then: Runners-up (2nd): Bert Chadwick — 1924 (=2nd, the very first Brownlow count) Richard Taylor — 1927 (=2nd) Ivor Warne-Smith — 1929 (=2nd) Robert B Johnson — 1930 (=2nd) Greg Wells — 1972 (22 votes) Gary Hardeman — 1974 (23 votes) Stan Alves — 1975 (19 votes) Third: Angus Brayshaw — 2018 (21 votes) Christian Petracca — 2020 (20 votes) Clayton Oliver — 2021 (31 votes)

We now have plants from our toxic era in a number of places.

Kosi, statistically, has out performed Charlie in most key categories over the last two seasons. McClueless is exactly that.

The only thing I saw was the complete and utter absence of soar.

McClure wouldn't know a good footballer from a good haircut. And he's got neither.

Specifically, what does this mean?

make sure you're fumigated before heading home.
