It would kill it if it split but the way the AFL deal with it now is a slow death anyway. They want to get women involved in the game on the cheap. Time to treat it right.

Hassa was my favourite player as a kid growing up...a true Melbourne legend.

We need it 'Red'...in fact why wait for the AGM unless they have other stuff they want to cover up on the night.

No, his father Geoff was the voice of the ABC for many a year. ...before your time I'm guessing. edit: He used to run a public speaking course with Don Kinsey...one of his big no no's was the upward inflection at the end of a sentence. Said something along the lines of people can't take you seriously when you sound like an overly excited teenager.

You're spot on 'No.31"...I know they have to fill space to keep the AFL machine rolling but there is a lot to be said for space over waffle.

Geoff McComas wouldn't approve...

Do you know why he dropped to the rookie draft 'dazz'? what are the knocks on him?

It doesn't make him brilliant...just promising. ...and drafting Laurie before him doesn't make him one.

I'll give you Cameron but Neale is hardly a brilliant key forward...

Nothing bad 'Ghostwriter', just enough to derail their season will be fine by me....

A bad run with injury in season 2026 would be good...

We will know in the next couple of years whether this was an inspired selection or a bust. ...a case premature conclusion from you 'purple'.

Tom Stewart 190 cm...5 x AA.

It more likely shows us that we don't think they are that good...

If they want to do a free show make it big....open up the bowl. Fed Square is too small if they are already selling out the bowl. The town needs another 200k show, featuring an Aussie band.

He really is an exceptional speaker...

Here they come 'Clint'

...and we're beating the umpires.

Hanksy really needs to lift...

Never comfortable with the lack of composure in defence. Kate pushing back steadied the ship but we need 3 of her, mid, forward and back...

A few are going to have to step up today. Hanks was down by her high standards last week. Bannon was a bit more involved but really needs to get back to her best. ...and we need 4 Q's from Harris. Work to her strengths & let her loose. We get that and we're well in the frame.

Yeah, look not my thing as I've said but it is time for something big to give live music a real kick. The Seekers drew around 200k in the 60's to the bowl and Billy Thorpe did similar in the 70's...it's time for another. Given the bowl capacity is around 15k the overflow was well through the park lands... 20k to 30k would be good...200k is probably stretching it these days but why not shoot high. Well overdue. Anyway, just thinking aloud (,allowed)...

You looking for a bit of the old Alan Killigrew 'picket'? Loosen the screws and knock the door down...

Maybe some smart promoter could have them headline a free music bowl show along with some of their contemporaries and up and comers. Do they have that sort of drawing power?
