Rumour from a few years ago - we had Maynard in the bag. The board vetoed based on the 'one bad haircut' policy. At Melbourne, one is more than enough.

Close enough to posts of the year.

If Maysie is further up the ground, he will be closer to goal. Doesn't kick goals now cos he's too far out. Plus he can use his strength to flatten a few blokes making a clear pathway for the Milkshake to shimmer and shine in ways he hasn't done since winter 2022.

How did you go @Anti-Saint? Grab your tics?

A sane voice among a cacophony of catastrophisation.

what??? chandler rarely sighted??? kicked a goal and had 6 goal assists. means he had a hand in 7 of our goals. Bizarre analysis.

Let's pray that DoDrito never learns to milk a draft using the same elasticity with double pike, triple twist and tight tuck he applies to the shenanigans in the Essenscum boardroom.

So it's a complete free-for-all now? I counter-nominate Joe Daniher.

It's an absolute classic when: you jump on 'Land at lunchtime to check-up on major news you see the HOT tag against a thread and think "[censored] . . . some big news" you quickly click the thread (in my case the Harley Reid thread) as the thread is loading you're thinking "Melbourne's swapped Grundy into Norf in return for their number two pick" what you find is three 'Landers engaged in a fascinating discussion about anything but Harley Reid LoL and LMFAO.

You mean that a 6'4' utility, with 100 games under his belt, is not injury prone, played at a complete cluster [censored] of a club and is available for free? I would be all over him like a cheap suit designed by Michael Hibberd.

You're right . . . stupid me. 10 goals.

Also recon he played a part in the Gary missed the bus Sidebottom affair.

Assuming Clayton is available, he comes in for Petty. With close to the best footy brain in the side, Clayton plays forward, occasionally rotating with Christian. Engine room stays the same as its been for the last five weeks. Deez win by seven goals.

Peter Johnston?

Thanks @Wadda We Sing. The AFL don't give a [censored].

What an absolute piece of [censored] kayo is.

Assuming 1) full (ish) and 2) healthy (ish) list, and 3) sane minds, we win in a canter this year. No doubt about it.

You mean that a Dee, who has more than held his own as a first year player in a team that won a premiership 679 days ago, was beaten by, nominally, the best ever player to play the game? I wonder who was expecting Judd to "lock down" on Dusty?

Pretty clear Tommy Petty is on the skids then.

No where near far enough I would have thought @WalkingCivilWar. At a minimum, in no particular order, I would suggest: A knighthood A license to operate all McDonald's in Queensland An oligarch's yacht An exemption to paying GST on alcohol and ?*& for the rest of his life A lifetime job on Channel 7 talking [censored] on Friday nights.

Those blokes go to a workshop run by Collective Minds. All good.

Lot of [censored] on here about Norf. By and large, they have been a good corporate citizen compared to most other clubs in the comp for the last 50 years They dragged the game kicking and screaming into the 20th Century in the 1970's via imaginative recruiting, terrific what we would now call 'list management', invented VFL grand final breakfasts; and then again in the 1980's with Friday Night Footy In the 2000's pioneered 'selling' games to raise revenue - something the Deez have emulated. Of course I want to win next week, but let's not loose sight of the fact that Norf are not in the despicable bucket of [censored] with a dozen unmentionables.

Makes me think of Greville Street and lousy hair dresses.

I wonder if it's possible to get ahead of ourselves if we begin in 1972.
