game plan not exactly excelling tonight I suppose one can excuse it by saying they're kicking straight. The problem is we've kicked nothing whatsoever

o what a night

oh well long way to go

I'm feeling those Clearance Blues

I'm thinking this could see around 14 plus AFL listed players in the team. If Woewodin only plays a quarter at AFL level he may even join in. 11 from the VFL match last week plus Hore, BBB, Laurie. PS Forgot Schache.. so one more

No

Is it a minimum 18 month contract that must be offered or can you sill offer six months? Thanks

Yes please Wouldn't even mind a return to the days of getting 26 points ahead and entering the Bermuda Triangle

The difference this time around is that McKay is in great form with Curnow contributing well. Accuracy on goal will as usual go a long way towards deciding the winner. A real 50/50 match.

Must say that was the first thing that came to mind. The scoreboard doubles as an advertising billboard so why should taxpayers foot the bill.

Good question. I used to think it was a quiet jog lead by the Captain. Does Goodwin and the rest of the training staff attend? If so why is it called a Captain's Run. Beautiful day for a run through the autumn leaves though

only our game at the mcg The rest under the dark roof of Docklands plus Taxpayer Park

Of course this weekend's football is up against the phenomenally successful Eurovision Song Contest. Don't miss Croatia's Baby Lasagna (singing Rim Tim Tagi Dim) . You never know might be a candidate for the Tassie team's theme song.

A week ago Roy George was playing for Tyntynder in the AFL Central Murray League. Had to look it up but Tyntynder is in the Mallee near Nyah Big step up to be talked of as being an AFL draftee Was in Victoria during 2023 as well so makes you wonder how he came to get a game on Sunday. Lots of AFL players back for the next VFL round but I hope they squeeze him in

Looks like Salem will be available post the Eagles game. Fingers crossed for no more injuries and that would mean best 22 available

Was thinking this yesterday. He certainly seems to get the ball more often than Charlie did in 2023 but perhaps Charlie had more reliable disposal. I think Charlie will find it difficult to regain his spot assuming no injuries to his competitors. I'd be looking at Hunter as an impact sub assuming he can improve his speed and kicking style (low bullets). Not really sure what other role there is for him

Some big "8" point games this weekend. From an MFC viewpoint I think it best to look for an outcome that reduces the number of top 4 contenders (as Stu says above) On that basis I'm hoping for wins to Geelong Sydney GWS and Adelaide Another very big game for us Seems such an overly long season although in reality it's simply that at this stage of our "window" it's all about the finals series with the Home and Away being a necessary prelude. (This must be what Hawthorn supporters perhaps felt.)

Definitely a key forward. He's almost their version of Fritsch based on goals scored. A quiet achiever

We have a Friday evening (5pm) game against Carlton at Princes Park. Could answer a few questions as many players will be available that did not play in the game against Williamstown

A bit tough... Ideally you want to add two youngsters per year to the best 22. In 2023 we did that with JVR and McVee. This year Windsor has been added and Chandler should cement his spot. What we haven't done since the magnificent 2019 draft of Jackson, Pickett and Rivers is hit that seam of gold which just drives a team to greater heights. Then again few clubs have

Definitely interesting that he spent so much time on the bench after being inserted into the game at the 3 minute mark of the last quarter. While I don't necessarily agree perhaps they will prefer a more mature player like Hunter as the sub this week. Carlton, Sydney, GWS and the Pies plus the Eagles in Perth (no pushover on recent form) what a hard run !!

Agree... he is a valuable link player who has decent upside and seems to get around 14 possessions per game. I don't see that in Laurie and I'm not sold on Woewodin although he had a better game on Saturday night

Just noticed that the youtube video had 750 Million views

Saints and Suns What might have been for the King twins

Agree It's a difficult balancing act not made easier by the competition make up. Have often wondered if you were a non AFL fringe player who would you prefer to play for. A stand alone club where your selection is on merit or an AFL aligned club where your selection is based mainly on how many injured or hold overs there are in the AFL team. Enjoyable match today which did many of the AFL youngsters no harm in the development stakes
