The heart beats true

If having a body for 44 years has taught me anything it’s that the current inhabitant never speaks fondly of the former tenant.

Daisy!!!!!!

Nice goal!!!

I always thought the AFLW Grand Final was more of a Shelbyville idea.

Regardless of the substance of this thread the title is some Rupert Murdoch level click bait confusion. All it needs is a random picture of a football player with a red circle pointing out something completely unrelated - that makes you click on it none the less. If you’re confused saunter on over to news.com.au and you’ll see what I mean.

I have some Colombian friends who agree with you.

I feel like the club knows Brown is only capable of 12-14 games a year now. I’m using this assumption to fuel my theory that Petty will play as a forward in 2023.

One of the arrested has been confirmed as an umpire. Ugly.

Then yes please! Bailey is a freak. I think if the criticism of this kid is that he’s more a Hipwood than a Hawkins then that’s ok. We always need more skill and diverse options forward of the ball.

‘And just like that… the entire crowd disappeared’.

Sorry @La Dee-vina Comedia I read all your posts in this guys voice.

Actually I’ll make it easier for you. In the last month we played 3rd away, 5th away, and 9th (fighting to stay alive) and 4th at home. Geelong played 12th away and 8th, 10th and 17th at home. I guarantee if we got that soft a draw we would have rested players.

A few seem to have forgotten the difference between the last 2 months of our season compared to Geelong’s. We had to fight for a double chance all over the country, while Geelong played predominantly at home against much weaker teams. If you want to over simplify the season maybe start there, and not with the bloke who coached us to our only premiership in 58 years only 13 months ago.

Who did they ask? Grandma’s with a penchant for neck tattoos who haven’t watched the footy since 2017?

Yep. He continues to be the best player in the competition, and we continue to pay him as such.

64kg? At that weight he’s an OH&S concern in the wind at Casey.

It’s about time sports journos added some more realtor lingo to the football landscape. Surely we are in more of a Bay window versus Geelong, who are clearly in a porthole by comparison. As for Gold Coast, that’s not a window that’s an egress - the kind of window you only have in the hope you can escape from it during a home invasion.

I feel like after the first 8 rounds teams went down the opposite wing to Ed more often, and played a more defensive mindset in their positioning around him. I think Hunter is going to make a huge difference to us in this regard. No offence to JJ but Hunter is a much more experienced wingman and can do more damage with the ball in hand. We can now attack and defend down either wing, where I felt Jordon was often too slow and defensive as an outlet. I think Ed will be very happy to have a more well rounded outside player on the opposite wing to him.

I think they are Irish. I believe they’re called Giobhan and Gadraig.* *I feel like in doing this I’ve uncovered the secret to Tolkien’s naming conventions.

I’ve already heard rumours about Pick 13’s mum being a handful.

Oh that’s interesting. Is this a short term incentive?

He’s the best deliverer of the ball inside 50 we have, and he’s almost the only player who looks for a hit up lead and not a bomb. You can’t be complaining about our forward delivery but then getting rid of guys who actually do something different with it. He only needs 4 kicks inside 50 for a game to make a massive difference.

Yeah, it’s weird getting old. I’m 44. I’m currently doing this program with people mostly in their 20’s and it’s really obvious they think I’m not that cool. It’s the first time I’ve really felt judged for my age. The only good part is that when I make jokes about f*#king their mums they look terrified, because it seems plausible.

They specifically asked that no one take photos. Very quiet guys.

Nice list. I’m going to see Billy Bragg in March. Will be fun. I saw Beck at The Forum circa ‘98. Was that when you saw him?
