Amazed that it works. These days places like Kayo subscribe to a third party service that tracks VPN's. Most people report losing Kayo this year. Even ABC IView now has a VPN tracker. Suspect that content providers demand it as places like kayo are happy to sell a subscription to anyone

A great practical lawyer and administrator. He lectured me in Ethics at Summer School a very long time ago. A lovely man. I was involved on the periphery of one club's Board at the time. Insolvency was a real threat and there were a few banks that were scared of public reaction if they ever had to exercise their security over the grandstands on the various suburban grounds

It was for the movie Produced by the PM's son from stolen money. Di Caprio had to give a bit back. Just google 1MDB

Not so sure about other clubs being willing to pay a lot more. Like us they can all smell blood in the water after the Treloar fiasco. Pies have said they'll pay $300k but it's the contract length that will drive the price. Add to that no increased TV revenue means no increase of any meaningful amount in the salary cap. Could we see a variable deal based on games played and other KPI's. Probably not but the risk sharing formula will be interesting

Not exactly a role model movie on so many levels

The Wolf of Wall Street was funded by stolen money from the Malaysian government. (1MDB) Ex PM finally started a 12 year prison stretch last night.

As you say an interesting question Smith will definitely play 4 quarters. He's a mile off senior selection. Bowey and Jordon... difficult to say

Always thought WCE would be his home but I thought they might wait until Nic Nat is closer to retirement. Their ladder position this year puts them in such a great position that they may feel they need to move this year.What better use is there for picks 2 and 20 (?) Money (salary cap) could be an issue but I'm sure it could be worked out

First rounds of finals have never been close to a sell out so I wouldn't worry. Collingwood v Geelong is the hotter ticket by a mile Freo won't sell out.The Gabba might get closer

????????? source His not playing last weekend was said to be a precautionary move only

LJ could easily walk to WCE were he so inclined. No way would North pay $1M per year for a player who wants to be in WA. Beware the Western squeeze.... They can be a strange lot over there

The usual change thread for a "no change" week goes for an average of 12 pages.Given the 2 week hiatus we might get to 20 pages

Like most I expected that Hibberd would be forced out by the Casey youngsters this year but how wrong can one be. Does he and possibly Melksham go around again in 2023?

Rankine for pick 5 but there are many who say we should be happy with 10,14 and a reserve grade ruck for Jackson. Did Rankine have a good 2021/22. Can recall when he burst on the scene but I haven't followed GCS for the last two years

Hell I thought it was the "OTHER" Jackson !!

How serendipitous that we play Sydney at our home ground. Early weather forecast showing a beautiful day. 18 degrees and light winds. Time to enjoy the legendary bacon and egg roll.

Any thoughts on what was a blitzkreig in the first half became a comparatively even tussle in the second. Did we stop doing anything?

Doesn't happen First round of the finals We will not be the series ticketed game nor will we be the corporate ticket 60k would be an excellent turn out. My guess is closer to 50k

Thanks I was trying to work out on whom and where Harmes was playing

Should be an easy buy Geelong v Pies will be a sell out We will get 55k

Second on the ladder Not bad Guys !!!

Pies are quite likely to go out in straight sets but I'm glad we're not playing them. My psyche is stuffed enough

Breathing a little easier now

Don't want them to win !!!!

Oh When the Saints Come Marchin IN !!!
