Start tonight. Cats vs Bombers @ Kitty Park. On Kayo and Foxtel ... Anyone tuning in?

Yes. Our overall 'Allowed' list size goes from 44 to 46 for this year only where we will have 8 Cat A rookies instead of 6. Note: we still have a Cat B vacancy so all up the current list size is 45. McAdam and AM-W keep their current status and are counted accordingly. At the end of the year, SSP players can be promoted to Primary list, remain Cat A or delisted.

A fabulous development for indigenous pathways and football in NT. 57m-donation-to-central-australian-footy-program "The Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Program offers mentoring for young people and has opened a pathway for talented athletes to play professionally in the Northern Territory and South Australian football leagues". "Club president and organiser of the Right Tracks program Rob Clarke said it was a "jackpot" donation for the community, which will continue the program's work and help improve the lives of local young people". "Mr Clarke said they hoped to use the funds to build a "home" for the Redtails Pinktails, and to broaden their Right Tracks program to include more sporting codes...He said they were eyeing off Traeger Park in Alice Springs as a potential site for the facility, which they hoped would also provide accommodation for travelling sporting teams and schools". "We want to partner with … any organisation that has the same mindset, who wants to achieve great things for our region." As Traegar Park is a Home ground for us and the club has invested greatly in its development and committment to playing there long term, I hope MFC is in on this. It would be a real shame if another club especially from SA, jumps on the bandwagon. I particularly like the 'Right Tracks' program as it shares the values Jimmy created in the Reach Foundation. Reckon he would be mighty proud of mfc's connection with such a program as he invested a lot of TLC in indigenous players. Hopefully Alice remains our NGA zone... Now if the AFL are serious about more indigenous players into the AFL they need to stand up and support this program.

The chat about pick 28 for McAdam is but a small part of the picture. Big picture: We had him free of charge for 2024 as we traded a F2 which turned out to be #28. If we made 2024 finals as expected F2 would have been #34 or higher. We got #28 back for ANB then traded it to Ess as part of the #9 trade. Because of all the comp/FS/Academy picks it became #37 for Ess. Sad, not sad! So it would be true to say the F2 we traded for McAdam was in fact 37. #28 was an important part of the Ess #9 trade, without it we would not have #9 and not have XL. It is really unfortunate what has happened to McAdam but he doesn't have any say in the trade currency so maybe we just let it go. We got the pick back and JT was never going to take a late 2nd round pick to the draft.

The answer was all players were drafted at #13. Chris Scott was drafted at #12. Thanks for playing everyone!

Another correct answer by @tilly18 earning Australia Day honours.

Another correct winner! No prizes left but Australia Day honours are in order for @demosaw Edit: On reflection @demosaw deserves a prize as he correctly identified why C Scott didn't quite fit the criteria ... something I failed to ask of other prizewinners. Being Australia Day and am in a magnanimous mood their prizes will remain.

I'm assuming these questions relate to signing Roy George as an SSP. As I understand it if a player goes onto the LTI and the list spot is filled by a 'new' player via the SSP or mid-season draft the LTI cannot return to play in the season. I don't think there is anything that says that 'new' player is to be delisted - he can be offered a contract eg Luke Kentfield replacing Gus. Regarding Spargo, I think his injury was in 2023 and he missed all of 2024 with an archilles issue. imv Charlie deserves the chance to play for his spot and a new contract as he is OOC this year. The club played him in round 1 2024 on no preseason risking more injury. I've mentioned elsewhere, if we wanted George we should have kept a list spot for him; we knew his talents as he played for Casey. I would love to seem him signed on but if there is no list spot it is our own fault.

No new answers forthcoming so unlike the cryptic clues in a few of my posts above, here is a real clue: lucky for some, unlucky for others!

All prizes are gone. As indicated this quiz was quite easy, too easy perhaps - didn't need to use any of the great clues I had lined up! Will leave this run for the rest of the day as I'll be out and to give others a chance to have some fun!

The has been claimed by @Harvey Wallbanger! Congratulations!

It will be an honour ( I think 🤔) for your friendly cuddlies to be named 'Luci. Hope the name change brings you luck!

Only the 3rd prize left and no clues needed so far!

The second prize goes to a regular to finish on the podium: @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew Well done!

I figured that as my comment didn't give you anything at all 😀

It isn't as obscure as some 'football related' clues of the past 🤷‍♀️😉

The 1st prize memento goes to @demon-4-life Quite an achievement to beat The Master. Well done!

Another good pick up. There is a reason you are The Master! J Longergan has been replaced on the Bench by T Adams

Haha! No torturing, this is quite simple! True to Chris Scott form a last minute replacement ploy to trick the opp coach! Del Santo replacement on the bench is B Stanton.

To found the MND charity and raise $100,000,000 for it, is an unbelievable achievement. And he is such an inspiring, humble and affable man. I briefly met him once when he was coach. No airs and graces - just very down to earth. Fantastic role model and rapt that he is a Demon through and through. Despite his other AFL affiliations he has stayed true to ❤️💙

As 'Mr d' aka @Demonstone has abandoned his post as Quiz Master, I have taken on, as a once off, the awesome responsibility of compiling a quiz. What is the common link? Answer is football related. Most players roughly in position. I couldn’t find a coach to fit the answer but C Scott is the closest. PM your answers please! D Hughes S Hurn J Lonergan R Murphy A McKay I Quaynor C Chambers T Powell M Bate J Riewoldt T Lynch D Bennett A McGrath C Hemley N Del Santo D Talia (Ruck) S Crawford P Cripps Bench: B Stanton B Ebert D Venables T Adams Coach: C Scott Prizes: An Australia Day memento! 1st 2nd 3rd

No, No! I meant the chant when the game is won! ideally in the last minute after we had a 'Bang! bang, bang!!! series of goals ala 2021 GF but end of 4th qtr not the 3rd. Oh such a sweet enhancement to the ChatGPT predicted 10pt win!

That is exactly what I thought! I would be like this 🫣 desperately waiting for the DA chant: Mel - Bourne!

We will be at the G on the last Saturday of September. To back that up I've booked a city hotel for that weekend - this year it is a non-refundable booking!!

That article is clutching at straws! Kozzie probably follows all indigenous AFL players and liking his cousins selection as an SSP player is what one would expect. And for the article to rely on a comment on 'Flagmate' ... good grief !!!! I have little doubt Freo are desperate to get him and it is unlikely he will see out his contract with us but the lengths some scribes go to get in on the story is just ridiculous.
