Lucifers Hero

They are concurrent. So hopefully we see his 250th game this year🙂

Arithmetic was never my strong point 😁 I wouldn't put anything past Gleeson! May never gets the benefit of the doubt!

I want May to play on to play the Pies in rnd 23. But if Gleeson chairs the Tribunal he will up the penalty from the minimum 3 weeks to 4 so that May can't play that game. The way their season is going top 2 spot or even top 4 may rest on that final game against us. And we know how Gleeeson takes a hard line on Dees cases to help the Pies: Maynard/Brayshaw, Kozzie/Moore. So wouldn't be surprised if Maynard gets 4 weeks.

I posted this in the MRO thread but more relevant here. 'The still photo showing May's shoulder into Evans is the result of May being 11 cm taller than Evans so unfortunately any contact was never going to end well for Evans. The height difference and both players going for the ball means the contact was Accidental not Careless so the charge should be dismissed. May has oft offended but he doesn't deserve to go for that. To have any hope of having the charge thrown out we must NOT use Adrian Anderson'.

MRO has sent May sent straight to the Tribunal. Contact rated Careless, High, Severe Impact. The still photo showing May's shoulder into Evans is the result of May being 11 cm taller than Evans so unfortunately any contact was never going to end well for Evans.. The height difference and both players going for the ball mans the contact was Accidental not Careless so the charge should be dismissed. May has oft offended but he doesn't deserve to go for that. To have any hope of having the charge thrown out we must NOT use Adrian Anderson.

If ever there was a 'sliding doors' moment that was it. We'd have ended the 2023 season 2nd, not 4th and played Lions in first final at the G and not Coll. Evey chance we'd have beaten Lions then straight into a Preim and we'd still have Gus❤️💙. Oh, what might have been🥹

Yet to be stitched on the first backing below as too lazy to hand stictch. Not many friends have sewing machines to borrow ... Hopefully ready for next season! Cotton throw backing Considering Fleece style throw as backing Will probably go with the first.

This isn't the right thread as it is our players being targeted but not sure where else to put it. Don't like the sound of this about Sestan, AMW and Verall: "... a trio of developing prospects — including two untried rookies — have made their way into the notebooks of rival recruiters as they build strong reserves form". "The trio’s development as two rookie selections and a Category B rookie respectively, paired with their versatility is seen as their biggest drawcard for rival recruiters keeping tabs". Not sure what the rules are for trading rookies but the return would be very little. We've put three years of development into them. Let hope we don't lose them for lack of opportunity and that investment is lost..

Correct for Oliver but not sure that applied to Trac who signed his contract a year earlier. Oliver's 2022 contract is indexed to the TPP increases. It increases by 37% from 2023 to 2027 (end of current CBA). That is why the media is saying he will be paid $1.7.m by end of his contract in 2030. A new CBA in 2028 onward means his contract in 2030 will be even higher.

Like others I loathe most AFL scribes, some more than others. But lets not spare the lowlifes who feed them from the shadows. If they are mfc people, from his management team or friends it is negligent, shameful and the ultimate betrayal. They all have a duty of care and right now that care looks rather flimsy. People outside those groups have no business commenting on any player, especially if not from their club. It is a simple equation: No leaks = no headlines !!!

There may be a lot of anti-Melbourne media people but reckon you would struggle to find an anti-Max person amongst them. He is revered by all. And rightly so.

West Coast v Melbourne10 Max Gawn MELB 8 Christian Petracca MELB 4 Daniel Turner MELB 4 Kade Chandler MELB 4 Jack Viney MELB Coach voting fairly unanimous. The split: 5/5 Gawn 4/4 Petracca 3 and 1 or 1 and 3, or 2 and 2 for Turner, Chandler, Viney Max and Trac again voted the best two on the ground. Altho to be fair Max was streets ahead of everyone else. Good to see Turner get votes from both coaches as did Viney and Chandler. Max flying up the leader board:

I was teasing od; he doesn't think much of either ...

Take you pick, od: JVR or Jefferson 😁
