Nascent

I know Epworth are good with treating AFL players but I'm doubting he's been taken there, triaged and registered, x-rayed, diagnosed and had specific plans for surgery in the space of an hour and 15minutes since walking off the field. Perhaps an educated guess from chappy on behalf of our medical team but I would wait until a proper injury report before getting my hopes up that it will only take him out for a few weeks.

Is training back at Gosch's now the tennis is over?

Any of these three songs from the doom soundtrack by mick gordon would fit nicely.

Been getting into the band Health recently. Mix of electronic/industrial/noise rock-metal.

Really hoping one of Jefferson/Kentfield can announce themselves and become a permanent fixture in our side. JvR, Windsor, Kolt, Culley, Laurie and Adams are decent candidates for taking there game further. Also big wrap for Lindsay and can see him being one of our go to distributors either at half back or on the wing. Curious to see where Howes will play. I'm not convinced third/fourth hybrid tall defender is his best spot and can see Taylor slotting into his position there quickly. Perhaps a return to the wing or half forward line where he played his juniors might suit?

Full game replay of our game vs the bombers in Round 1 2005 that was dedicated to Troy. This game was something else to witness live. Never felt such genuine raw emotion from the 'G.

I travelled through managatang recently, wouldn't mind watching a game there. Fans would definitely have to be on high alert for snakes.

Think Pickett was taking the [censored] considering the fixture hasn't been announced as far as I'm aware.

Interesting appointment. He was the pies list manager when they had salary cap issues and had to do a fire sale. Worked out for them in the end.

I would happily have that 2022 ANZAC jumper that Oliver is pictured in to be the permanent design for that game.

"Demon spirit" was the slogan for 2025. The slogan for next season seems to be "Awaken the Demon" Edit: our 2026 demon might be the equivalent of Gachnar. Demon of fear.

Perhaps we should lean into the Demons thing more and have a satan chant. Maybe get some burning elmos in the cheers squad @Ghostwriter

Sounds like Windsor is having an epic pre-season. With injury seemingly behind him I'm looking forward to seeing him next year in his 3rd season.

Only a 2 year extension on top of his contract expiring next year. Offering a 1 year extension would have been insulting for a player of his quality. This most likely would have invited other clubs to have a serious crack at turning his head. Then we're looking at a player wanting out off limited to no footy and out-of-contract. Doesn't create a good scenario for trade compensation. 2 years provides security and time to recover from his injury without over commiting. Good decision all round in my view.

Thank you @red and blue forever and @Demonland . Also shout out to @Lucifers Hero for being the original creator before handing over the reins.

What's the bet Petracca is doing all he can to poison his mind against us.

Can this thread be pinned please @Demonland?

Turner and now Bowey

We have selected Chloe Baker-West with pick 22 Position: Midfielder Height: 163cm From: Victoria, Calder Cannons/Strathmore Very hard-working and driven, Baker-West is determined to be an AFLW player. An inside midfielder with the potential to be redeployed at AFLW level to a small forward or even rebounding role. Ball magnet who's good in congestion, and can also hit the scoreboard. Won Vic Metro's U16 MVP two years running.

Dees select Jordyn Allen with pick 16 Position: Half-back/midfielder Height: 166cm From: Victoria, Eastern Ranges/Heathmont Much like her namesake at Collingwood, Allen is a rebound defender who can move through the midfield. She has great kicking skills, is quick and covers the ground well – both from contest-to-contest, and across all four quarters. Coates Talent League Team of the Year.

Our pick 9 for Zanker has turned into pick 16 post academy bids..
